entering adulthood

I am twenty years old and well clueless. Most of the time I wish life came with a manual. Then I have days like today where I'm glad it didn't because I'm sure I would've tucked it away in a purse somewhere and tried it out on my own anyway.
Today I'm going to attempt to write a personal mission statement. Then I'm going to write a list of the random things that I've learned so far in my short life.

To live each day with accomplishment, creativity and community so that I may experience success, heartfelt art and love on life's journey. I will do this by never shutting my eyes to opportunity, creating openly and dangerously, and seeking interdependence not independence.

What I know now at 20

1. You don't have to try EVERYTHING.
2. Not EVERYONE has to like you.
3. Spirituality is NOT the same as religiosity.
4. Money doesn't come with brains.
5. Experience doesn't mean Education.
6. Sometimes it is better to dream, then to stay imprisoned to reality.
7. Peer Pressure can be GOOD and bad.
8. Try new things.
9. Never be afraid to scream, laugh, or cry. ( sometimes its necessary).
10. If you use people, you won't like the outcome.
11. Lead by example.
