i've learned so many things this year
that you must be vulnerable to know anyone, really
that sometimes you have to let others' sadness run its course
that salespeople will find ways to sell you things that you never wanted
that a full-time job will change your life, your habits and the way you use your time indefinitely
that your tastes, likes and dislikes will change as you get older whether you like it or not;
that your values are always in flux, and you better roll with it
that life will push you to grow up, and care what people think of you
that you will only get to understand your parents better the older you get - for better or for worse
i also learned that the renaissance fair exists, and everyone there looks like they came out of a fairy tale
that using someone's name is the simplest yet most effective way to let them know you care,
that their identity is being acknowledged and appreciated
and that freedom is an individual concept, and thus is attainable to everyone, in their own way

"For-profit art dealers are organizing shows for nonprofit museums. Museum professionals are organizing shows for commercial art fairs and galleries. Museum collections are being monetized, rented out for profit to other museums and private corporations. Corporations are co-organizing museum shows.
...the wall separating art museums from business activities is crumbling. In fact, so commonplace is the boundary-blurring that few any longer notice. A new normal is in the making."
