The biggest realization in my life came in lieu with my biggest challenge, my worst nightmare, my most unbelievable fear. You don't realize how happy you were, until you've had that breakdown. You don't realize how unhappy you were, until you realize how much happier you are. You don't realize how much you love your friends, until you no longer see them everyday. You don't realize how much you hate your lifestyle, until you find something better. You don't realize how needy you are, until you gain your independance. You don't realize how vulnerable you are, until you are challenged to do something completely new. You don't realize how naive you are, until you realize that you don't know everything better. You don't know what you've got, until it's gone. 2008-05-12T20:00:09Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/30186 <p>That is a lot of realizations! Nice! Way to strengthen the idea that you don&#8217;t know what you have till it&#8217;s gone. Thank you so much for entering! =D<br />LoA</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/30186?basename=61847 2008-05-12T20:00:09Z Blusparrow http://ficlets.com/authors/blusparrow <p>No idea what the challenge was, but I think you got across an impressive number of diads there, all setting up the classic one as your ending line. Glad you survived it, whatever it was.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/30186?basename=61650 2008-05-11T21:05:31Z THX 0477 http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477
