(in no specific order)

• Getting my first kiss, and realizing that some things are built up so much that they overshadow the event themself.
• My parents' divorce when I was twelve, and the ensuing calamity
• When TJ told me he liked me (or, when I realized that I misread every situation I have with a guy)
• Finding out that I had hypoglycemia, and that my fainting spells weren't "my fault"
• Losing 50 lbs and realizing I still wasn't content (or, when I realized I might never be)
• Starting school in a public (well, technically private) school (or, when I realized I didn't have as much self-control as I previously had thought)
• Climbing Sabino Canyon (after having a hypoglycemic episode) and making it to the top (or, when I knew I could do anything if I was determined enough)
• High school graduation (when senior year was so intensely rocky)
• Starting college (or, meeting Sarah and finding out how much fun I could have with a friend)
