I have learned that the universe works for you: everything that happens is a means to an end, and trust is acceptance of that end. Wrongs can be righted if you surround yourself with gracious, truthful people; the things you need - and want, at times - are yours when you believe they will come to you; the people that show you the way to those truths can be the least expected...even a hairstylist whose mother didn't catch her plane.
I have leaned that there is always a way. Money, time, and coincidence can come together in harmony, even if it's just getting a computer built before your password expires and a virus eats away at your writing and photos.
I have learned that heaven exists, and that sin is not what we as a Christian nation think it is. People do say goodbye, even if it's more than six years later, and guilt and memory don't have to be linked. I learned to trust my intuition, and my faith.
I have learned to follow that intuition, follow my passions. I am an inherent optimist in a pessimistic, corrupted world. I am a writer and a rebellious spirit; I like to rile people up and ignore the consequences; I like to martyr and destroy the odds. I am a journalist, and I will major in political science. I have remembered what it means to know the truth and speak my mind - I have learned that broken silence is a beautiful sound. I have leaned to remember again.
I leaned these things in a mere four days - a random period, thrown at me after the painful growth of a long Spring. Only half of that week was over, used for epiphanies and exposure to my long-forgotten elements.
We know what we are here to do, but at times we forget.
