Firstly, I should have learnt that it's usually wiser to keep quiet, even if you know you're right.
Yet I should know sometimes I should just put my ideas out there, even if they could be wrong.
And I should know that the longer you sit around wishing, the longer you've wasted on a dream that could've come true by now.
I should have learnt to respect my own decisions.
I should know that I'm only young, it's okay to make mistakes.
And I should have learnt that uncertainty is good--just don't let them pressure you. Sometimes answers just aren't the answer.
I should know that just because it's raining and nobody agrees with you, doesn't mean you shouldn't get out there and enjoy each and every raindrop as it falls on your beaming face!
I should know bad things can happen to my family too.
But I should know my family has a certain way of having good things happen too.
By now, I should know that he isn't perfect, my friends aren't perfect, my parents aren't perfect, but you know what? Neither am I.
