Important lessons I learned from my parents…

This entry was a journal prompt but I choose to type it up because it’s part of who I am. (There will be a few of these, even if I don’t type all the journal prompts.)

Important lessons I learned from my parents…

• Always say I love you before bed and before leaving someone, even if only for a matter of hours. It could be your last time seeing them.
• Never go to bed angry (I clearly didn’t pay attention to this one).
• Every woman should learn to drive a stick shift (I think men too).
• Don’t grow up believing that you have to have a man to take care of you.
• Always look both ways.
• Always wear a seatbelt (this one’s saved my life a few times).
• Judge not (I have trouble with this one).
• Live for yourself and no one else.
• Normal is over-rated.
