29. tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2007:
there is a dichotomy of life. with life, there's death. it was so weird. within the span of 24 hours there was both and it was one of the most gut-wrenching emotional turnarounds. to be sad and then to be happy but to just be there. for both. and try not to let one affect the other. keep strong. for there will again be happiness for all.
