A brief summation of things I've learned.

When you're in Love,
Say it.
When you're drunk,
Don't spray it.
When you're let down,
Explain it.
When you have the opportunity to make love, make love!
Don't just lay it.

I'm still learning things in light of recent events in my life, things that have recently dawned on me highlighting the areas in which I could use strenghthening. Like I could use the lessons of perseverance. When you see something you want, go get it. Tell someone you love them. And even harder to do is tell someone when you're in love with them. Do this because lifes to short to have nothing but friends. When you have something valuable, hold on to it, take care of it, and treat it well. Because if it's not that valuable to you, you're not gonna treat it well, and it will deteriorate and go away. Treat your lady like a lady. Give her flowers. No matter how cliché and silly you think the whole, "girls like flowers" thing is, well it's mostly true, but really it's the thought that counts, they make a room more colorful, and it shows that you care. And ladies, it's ok to get your boys flowers, too. Just do it. Be confident, not cocky. Your confidence is the most empowering device you have. It'll get you relationships, jobs, friends, it will network for you, so you should harness it, and let it shine appropriately, cause it's sexy.
And really, don't be afraid to love, and love often. It's the meaning of life...according to me. But what good is it if you don't share and say it. Emphasis on expression...verbalizing...and embracing it, cause it may hurt one day, but it is still worth all the good feelings and times, and being in love.
