· There is not really a certain, designated age for a person to date, wear a thong, or fall in love. Don’t get me wrong, there is definitely a point where a person is too young to do those things. But there isn’t a point that you wake up and say, “Today’s the day”. It sneaks up on you. One moment, you’re a little kid, playing in the mud and making friends. The next, you’re ready to take on the world. To me, it’s all about maturity. A person has to be mature enough to handle these situations. Maturity means a lot to me, so in the future, a lot of my rules with my children will be based off of it.
· I hate when people lie to me. I try my best to tell the truth, and I expect the same courtesy. I rarely lie, actually. (Usually I’m just careful about what I say, revealing only a small part of something, and leaving certain details out.)
Basically, I don’t like when someone won’t tell me the truth. I would rather be told what’s really up, freak out, and not be able to handle it in a healthy way than be lied to and have to figure out things by myself.

We would try foods from wherever we are, living and enjoying the different cultures.
· Life is full of disappointment. Things go wrong all the time, and make us feel down and angry about it. There’s really no getting around it, you will get disappointed at some point or another.
But at the same time, there are amazing things that can happen. For each and every disappointment, I believe that somewhere else down the road, it’ll be made up for, and you will end up feeling really good about life.
· Love is both a feeling and an ability. You have to be able to feel to love, to know that that weird feeling you get whenever you see a certain person is actually love. But you also have to have the ability to do it. Some people think that they don’t have this ability, and they in turn will never know what love feels like, just because they don’t have this ability to love.
Your first paragraph about maturity is so wise--I agree that parenting decisions should be based on a kid's ability to handle things rather than a number like age. I also agree that time sneaks up on us and in a blink of an eye we're grown up and life is coming at us from all directions. I like your positive approach to disappointment, focusing on the good that can come about rather than wallowing in the negative.
