maturity is bliss

There are some things that just make me really happy. For example: long walks on the beach, star-gazing, the smell of new books, good conversation... The latter, actually is what puts a smile on my face today. I, as many of us are, am a victim of immature decisions made in my past while I was, quite literally, freaked out and only out to take care of myself. Today, I saw that one of those bad decisions that hurt another person was remedied. It has been the source of many tears, thoughts of stabbing myself in the eye, guilt, and estranged friendships. I'm glad it was over, but I'm not angry that it happened. The situation has grown me in many ways. I know I'm being vague, but I've come to the conclusions that not all of one's soul must be bared on a public blog :). Just the basics will suffice. I'm thankful for the maturity that comes in time, and the grace of good friends who love me for me.
