Thanks Paloma for the beatiuful question!!
PART I
What I learned from everyone here:
Taj: That consistency is indeed a good thing for me. She has always been a huge supporter of me, and I need to remember to respect those people in my lives that provide consistently good energy.
Gregg: I learned not to always be so uptight. Teresa was right in one of her attacks on my personality. I am somewhat obsessive about things when I shouldn't be irl. When you go back in my confessional, you'll see that I was always really annoyed by Gregg at times, and I just didn't accept him for who he was and what he was trying to do. He was trying to make this game less stressful for everyone.
Brenda: Impression-management is key in life. Perception can get you in trouble whether it's true or not. Even though looking back, I can view her as a very loyal player of this game, at the time, everyone thought she had F3 deals with everyone in the game. I'm sure she was playing hard, but I think loyalty is something she values. I know that now, especially based on her jury question to me.
Naonka: I need to control my need to always defend myself. Sometimes, it's better to take the higher road than to get into a mud-slinging contest. I don't want to wrestle with pigs anymore! I'll try to watch my tongue moving forward in life, but that's a hard thing to do, especially when people criticize me. I also learned that work-ethic is something to be cherished as it will get you far in life.
Sarah: I learned that running away from people you are scared of doesn't bridge gaps, it only widens them.
Teresa: I learned that making fun of others isn't always a "good" way of bonding with someone. Gossip is one thing, but being mean with someone just to be mean doesn't make you look pretty or make your life better off than any other person even if your life IS better.
Willard: Playful banter is healthy and not to be taken serious.
Paloma: I learned to always be in touch with your emotions. Notice the small things people do and say for you, and always be optimistic about humanity.
Frank: I learned that holding onto bitterness can surprisingly really bring out the ugly side in you.
Gina: I learned that actions speak louder than words. I tend to be a loud mouth, but action is louder than any voice.
Cirie: I learned that I even though this is a game, I should really act my age and serve as an example to people and the maturity level you should have in these ORGs. Even though this has always been an outlet for basically the built up negative energy in my rl, I should probably not play this games and instead expel that energy through my usual pialtes, medication, cooking and throwing social gatherings. Btw, I can't wait to get back into my regular routine!!
OMG PALOMA THAT WAS A SUPER HEALTHY EXERCISE. I FEEL LIKE I'M ON AN INTERVENTION SHOW FOR PEOPLE WHO PLAY ORGS!
Part II coming up.
