22.

i turn 22 in 17 days. 

I've tried to reflect on all the things I've accomplished and learned.

I have come ALONG WAY. 

I don't regret anything I've ever done, those things have made me a stronger and deeper person no matter how foolish it was i learned something from it. 

I know i need to love everyone for who they are as a person, religion, race, and materialistic things don't make a person. there hearts and what they bring to the world are true gifts and we are so lucky to have each and every person in our lives. 

(even if we have a hard time once in awhile or some one we can not stand, they are the universe's way of saying "hey this is a lesson of tolerance, patience and forgiveness you need to learn")

i guess what I'm trying to say is everything happens for a reason, no matter how hard or tough things get we have to have hope and faith :) never ever stop learning. always help each other with the purest intentions. take each person and situation for what it is because it is a gift. 

AND

never ever lose yourself.

and i'll always be the weird little paigee from starcrest apartment 155 hahaha :)
