...so, this week was one of those weeks.
You'll be happy to hear that I learnt some life lessons this week. Here they are in dot point form for your convenience:
1) Lies will ALWAYS catch up with you. Always.
2) No matter how hard you try, you can't change people.
3) Life sucks in a lot of ways. And it's good to keep that in mind, as it is when you finally become complacent that disaster chooses to strike.
4) Art is important. Creative expression is a tool to discover more about yourself.
5) Life is too short to deal with people you have no respect for. Or to be bullied into doing things you just don't want to do.
6) Heartbreak is healthy, and necessary. And while I'm sure that life will suck forever right now, I know I've been here before, and I emerged a healthier, happier, stronger Jess. (though I don't really have a cocoon to fall back on, which is why I'm so stressed)
7) The phrase "Bend or Break" is so so true. My control issues haven't allowed me to see that, and now that I have no control over my life, all I can see is how even a little flexibility would have served me well.
8) Hindsight vs. Foresight is a pointless argument. Just remember for next time!
9) Life is all about choices. You are who you
choose to be. If you don't like who you are right now when you look in the mirror, start taking life steps in a better direction.
10) Sleep really is important. No matter how much you may delude yourself into believing that another coffee will fix your tiredness, sleep is indeed important. My mind for one craves chill time more than anything else, giving it what it wants really helps with my sanity!
Hope some of these help some of you out there

Feel free to add more!

Love, Jess
