Day 23: Life lessons

Day 23 of the Blog Every Day in May in Challenge: Things you've learned that school won't teach you

• Take control of your life.  If you want something to happen or change in your life, take an active role in making it happen. 
• Be part of the solution, not part of the problem
• When people show you their true colors, believe them.
• Ask for help when you need it.  You don't have to wait until someone offers. 
• Say you're sorry even if you don't think you did anything wrong.
• Saying No doesn't make you a horrible person.  
• Spend the extra money on a good bra.  Trust me. 
• There is no such thing as secrets. 
• If you like it, buy it in every color.
• When someone says, "it won't hurt that bad," know that it is going to hurt bad.

• Everyone needs a good cry once in a while.
• It matters who you know.  
• Be present.
