What I know...

Or am learning, as I grow up and old.

Life isn't fair, and life isn't perfect, but that doesn't mean that you have to sit back and put up with the status quo. Change comes about when people refuse to settle and SPEAK UP!

You have to BE the change, not wait for it!

Not everyone can be there for you everytime. If you live long enough, everyone you know will disappoint you eventually. It's up to you to decide if the particular disappointment is something that you can live with.

Old people are amazing. They have so many stories to tell, and most are willing to tell them to you. All you have to do is ask.

A life without some sort of work is meaningless. The things that mean the most are the things you work the hardest for.

Just because a few people hurt you doesn't make you worthless, or mean that everyone will hurt you.

No one loves me as much as my dog loves me.

Except maybe my parents.

This life is a short one, and you only get to be here once, so please, make the most of it, and surround yourself with people who lift you up and make you strive to be a better person. The other ones don't matter.

I'm off my soapbox now.

Work was long, and hard, and I wanted to rip my hair out at times, but man do I love the people I work with. And some of my patients I am just so lucky to meet.
