What I Wish I'd Known

Half of these writings are for me. I can't call them stories, the closest word that I had found for them are testimonies, but they aren't anything really, just a collection of things I wish I had known sooner, things that I've noticed, things that I need written down as a reminder. You can find some of these on TheProse.com under the user SnakeSkin (my account).
(Some of this is depressing, so you might as well not read it.)
I don't know why I bothered putting them here. Maybe someone will learn from a mistake that I've made.
