- How to be young (again).

- How to genuinely say sorry, and how much healing there is from letting go of bitterness every time.

- I want to be found and pursued... but so does he, whoever he is.

- I may never be good at big parties and mingling.  Maybe I'll always have the urge to go hide in the bathroom or sit alone on the porch until someone comes to find me, but that's okay.  Even though gatherings are uncomfortable and can feel futile, they're still very important.  They hold so much possibility.  You never know who you'll be able to reach out to in a moment.  So keep on showing up and keep your eyes open.

- Keep your best memories close.  They will serve you well.  In dark times, they will remind you that there are more memories to be made.

- No one's too deep for God to reach.  It doesn't make sense and might not seem "fair," but that's the beauty of His grace.  And I'm thankful, because I definitely didn't deserve it either.
