learning

I learned this weekend that:

1. people and things in the past are in the past for a reason
2. some people will just never change, but i can
3. sometimes it is just the idea of someone that we hold on to. but an idea doesn't answer  the phone, keep you warm at night, or buy you ice cream when you're sick
4. it feels really good to realize it's just an idea and to finally let that person go because you find out you don't actually need them in your life
5. a dog is a girl's best friend
6. moving away from florida for 5 years results in losing the exquisite sun-tolerance you might have had before
7. family really is the most important thing in life. the one we're born in to, as well as the one we make for ourselves
8. at the end of the day, someone who has put up with your shit for 5 years and still greets you with open arms is ultimately the only one that really matters
9. mellow mushroom really does have the best calzone in the world
10. if you turn in someone's lost set of keys, kharma happens, and you find the credit card holder you left in the women's bathroom at a restaurant later that day
11. i love my roommates
12. someone once said our house is "the crazy house that never sleeps" and that is such a true statement
13. my mom and ashley were right; i really do have ugly feet
14. being different doesn't always mean you're wrong
15. chunky monkey cures a multitude of ailments
