This year was probably one of the harder years I've had. I don't think I've shed as many tears or gotten so angry and frustrated. That in itself was maybe a learning experience, knowing that I too have a breaking point.
But I did also learn that as sucky as the world is, and as crappy as people can be and make me feel, there are still those who care about me, even if my one hand is enough to count them on. So, yet another learning experience. ^_^
Have I grown as a person? Maybe. Maybe not. It's hard to tell, really. I would say I know more of what to expect of the world in general, however.
