Lessons learned: (1) Trust my body and mind. (2) Struggles that repeat themselves are doing so to teach new things or remind you that you weren't listening the last time. (3) Family and Michigan mean more to me than I ever knew and the possibility of returning back there says nothing about my ability to live away. (4) Mistrusting people because of past hurts that didn't involve them in the first place ends up hurting the relationship; trust until that specific person proves that you shouldn't, then trust once more. (5) Gratitude is important and doesn't require something magical, special, or important. Every moment brings its own need for gratitude.
I like this and I'm going to steal it. : )
