I'm doing 16 things
I always wondered why I was so filled with self-loathing, until I realized that I just held all sorts of grudges against myself. When I realized what they were and forgave myself for them, I actually found that I am a beautiful person. I do love myself now. I wasted so much time hating myself, when I could have been happy and made other people happier as well. Self-hatred is a waste of time and effort. Better to be loving than hateful.

I am really nearing the finish line on graduation and I can’t believe it! I only have 1 semester left and I am done!!! WOOOO!!!! After these four long years, I finally get to hold that diploma in my hand. That is just so cool!
And when I get out, I think I’ll go right back for a Spanish degree, tee hee.
Well, I have just forgiven someone, and I asked them to forgive me. I feel so much lighter and happier. I’m not wasting time brooding or feeling bitter; in fact, I feel really nice. I didn’t think I could ever be this happy. Forgiveness is wonderful. Why didn’t I think of this sooner? Holding grudges sucks.
So, two people off of my list, my mom, dad, and a few random people to go.
