i feel like i went to hell and back.

but i learned some valuable lessons:

(1) you can't save the world, but you can make a difference
(2) there is no shame in generosity
(3) age doesn't matter
(4) we all have our demons
(5) never underestimate the virtue in asking for help
(6) remember the small things, they lead you to the bigger ones
(7) desperate times call for desperate measures
(8) everyone has a limit, recognize and abide by it
(9) there is possibility in an impossible situation
(10) never say never

i was thrown a curveball, but i think i might have batted this one out of the park. i guess time will tell.
