Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2003.

Respect your mother. She gave up a lot for you, her youth, her fun, her vagina, money and sanity. Your mothers love is the best love you could get from anyone. Call her, hug her, thank her for caring enough to give you life. She fucking earned your respect and gratitude.

Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.

"Now that we're here, it's so far away, all the struggle we thought was in vain...in all the mistakes one life contained, they all finally start to go away. And now that we're here it's so far away, and I feel like I can face the day, I can forgive and I'm not ashamed to be the person that I am today." Staind
