Through the years, this is what I have learned
I've learned-
that you can do something in an instance
that will give you heartache for life.
I've learned-
that it's taking me a long time
to become the person I want to be.
I've learned-
that you should always leave loved ones with
loving words. It may be the last time you see in them.
I've learned-
that you can keep going long after you can't.
I've learned-
that we are responsible for what we do,
no matter how we feel.
I've learned-
that either you control your attitude
or it controls you.
I've learned-
that regardless of how hot and steamy a
relationship is at first, the passion fades and
there had better be something else to take its place.
I've learned-
that heroes are the people who do what has to
be done when it needs to be done, regardless
of the consequences.
I've learned-
that money is a lousy way of keeping score.
I've learned-
that my best friend and I can do anything
or nothing and have the best time.
I've learned-
that sometimes the people you expect to kick
you when you're down will be the ones to help
you get back up.
I've learned-
that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right
to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
I've learned-
that true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.
I've learned-
that just because someone doesn't love
you the way you want them to doesn't
mean they don't love you with all they have.
I've learned-
that maturity has more to do with what types of
experiences you've had and what you've learned
from them and less to do with how many
birthdays you've celebrated.
I've learned-
that no matter how good a friend is, they're
going to hurt you every once in a while and
you must forgive them for that.
I've learned-
that it isn't always enough to be
forgiven by others. Sometimes you
have to learn to forgive yourself.
I've learned-
that no matter how bad your heart is broken
> the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I've learned-
that just because two people argue,
it doesn't mean they don't love each other
And just because they don't argue,
it doesn't mean they do.
I've learned-
that we don't have to change friends
if we understand that friends change.
I've learned-
that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a
secret. It could change your life forever.
I've learned-
that two people can look at the exact same
thing and see something totally different.
I've learned-
that your life can be changed in a matter of
hours by people who don't even know you.
I've learned-
that even when you think you have no more
to give, when a friend cries out to you,
you will find the strength to help.
I've learned-
that credentials on the wall
do not make you a decent human being.
I've learned-
that the people you care about most in life
are taken from you too soon.
I've learned-
that our background and circumstances
may have influenced who we are,
but we are responsible for who we become.
