Losing my parents young taught me that you can’t take people for granted, tomorrow is not guaranteed, life is fragile and that it’s ok to need help. I regret some actions - I was young and angry at the world so I did a fair amount of lashing out.

Thinking I was getting some help and ending up being groomed taught me that some people are jerks and you can’t trust everyone. I regret that I let this happen but I was young and vulnerable.

Now I want to have a positive life, I want to be someone my parents would be proud of and I want to follow my passion into art

Lessons? Be yourself....trust in yourself....be happy....know when to be self-relient...know when to delegate...

Regrets? Ah.....I've had a few.....lol! Actually, everything from the past - both bad and good - has made the Sammy jo that you see before you these days....and I kinda like the person I am these days....so....in a nutshell...no!

More in life? Spend time with those that I love...and be happier....

Simple really....that's all I need.

Don't get hooked on partying and drugs when you are young. Save as much money as you can. Don't fall in love with someone just because of their looks...have things in common with them. Get an education. Stay out of the sun...skin cancer sucks.

Be self reliant.

Nope, I consider them learning experiences...especially the most painful ones.

Be more present. Only today is promised.

Death is not in the vengeance of karma.

It's to easy.. karma will keep you alive and drag you through the mud.

That's what I've learned
