I've learned
That you cannot make someone love you, all you can do is
be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them that
no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.
I've learned-
That it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to
destroy it. That it's not what you have in your life but who
you have in your life that counts.
I've learned -
That you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes.
After that, you better know something. That you shouldn't
compare yourself to the best others can do. That you can do
something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
I've learned-
That it's taking me a long time to become the person that
I want to be. That you should always leave loved ones
with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
I've learned-
That you can keep going long after you can't. 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.
That regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is
a 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.
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. That sometimes the people you expect
to kick you when you are down will be the ones to help
you get back up.
I've learned-
That sometimes when I get angry I have the right to be angry,
but it doesn't give me the right to be cruel. That true friendship
continues to grow over the longest distance, and the 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.
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 you should never tell a child their dreams are unlikely
or outlandish. Few things are more humiliating, and what
tragedy it would be if they believed it. That no matter how
good your 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 good enough to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes you must learn to forgive yourself. That no matter
how bad a heart is broken; the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I've learned-
That our background and circumstances may have influenced
who we are, but we are responsible for whom we become.
That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean that 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. 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. 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. That the people you care about the most
in life are taken from you too soon.
I've learned-
That its hard to determine where to draw the line
between being nice and not hurting someone else feelings
or standing up for what you believe. That no matter what
happens to me on earth or how much my faith falters,
God's faith in me never dwindles or fails.
I've learned-
That life's lessons never end and wisdom can always be
passed on.
