It seems so much less complicated to just skip the "making a mistake" process and just get straight to the lesson-learning. As I've been reading your blogs, I've noticed that you're a very sincere and theoretical person. You think things through and rationalize situations the way that I only dream I could. You're music, as well as your randomness of blogs, makes me realize many things. I can sit in my room for hours just screaming out the lyrics to Framing Hanley's songs, and while screaming, it makes me think about what the words really mean (well at least what I think they mean). You're a very deep person and I love reading your writing: If it's a song or blog. Keep up the good work..even though it seems like you don't even try. :] Peace and love.. <3 Ashleigh Nixon,

You bring up alot of good points.. I see it in several different ways. While I prefer to not make mistakes to learn lessons, I've found that, without making those mistakes, I wouldn't be strong enough later on to face other obstacles. While right now, it might not seem possible, it could be what saves you down the road. That's what happened with me... But, stay positive. You're totally right. Everyone has their own personal struggles to deal with, but that's part of living.. Either you learn to cope and move on, or you get left behind. Definitely take time to go to Boston. It's my favorite city in the entire world.. I'm going up in a couple of weeks, and I couldn't be more excited. Take care of yourself.. God bless, and have a good time in Canada. Nixon..

I'm hoping things will start looking up for you, but like you said you're trying to do, stay positive. And, enjoy the rest of the tour.

I've always wanted to go there. But I think in the summer. I'm not fond of being cold either. And Canada in the winter?? You're officially crazy. Boston! I’ve always wanted to go there.

Regret is an appalling waste of energy, you can't build on it. It's only good for wallowing in." -Katherine Mansfield Maybe that's a better quote. Why should we regret what we can't change? What will regretting do? it won't change a thing. Instead we need to admit, "I fucked up. Atleast I know not to do that anymore." It's how we learn our limits. I think that we should use our energy for more positive things instead of wasting it on something that will still exist, no matter what we do. We can't beat ourselves up over the mess ups we have made... I think as human beings we have a tendency to hold grudges. When we are hurt, we usually want the people who have hurt us to hurt more than we do. But isn't that a bit selfish? Maybe you should just forgive her and move on...if not for her, than atleast do it for you. Forgiveness sets you free.

I should probably get off my lazy arse and take the weekend trip up already. I agree with you on the mistakes made/regrets/lessons learned. The quote is complete shite, people hardly learn the lessons from their mistakes, and why, because they're too busy making their next mistake. Not saying that you're one of those people, but you know. Another one that annoys me is 'Never regret anything, because at one time it was what you wanted.' It's just really ignorant in my opinion. I'm with you on Christmas, I'm not putting up a tree or anything and attempting to avoid it. Anyways, I hope you enjoy Canada, and Boston early next year.

Yeah.... that completely makes sense and I totally agree. I've regretted EVERY mistake I've made in my life and I too knew the lesson before it was learned the hard way. I'm glad you are writing. I can't wait to hear some new songs. I know they will be amazing. You are so talented. “I let you down, but you pulled me under”.... new lyrics to a song?
