Things i've learned!
This is a list of some things I've learned just from living for 21 short years, I just thought I'd share it for people who I believe can benefit from reading it.
I've learned ..... 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 you care, some people just dont care back.
" " it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.
" " that its not what you have in life but who you have in your life that counts.
" " that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do.
" " that you can do something in an instant that can give you a heartache for life.
" " that its taking me a long time to become the person i want to be.
" " that you should always leave loved ones with loving words, it may be the last time you see them.
" " that you can keep going long after you thought you couldn't.
" " that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
" " that either you control your attitude or it controls you.
" " 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.
" " that heroes are people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regarless of the consequences.
" " that money is a lousy way of keeping score
" " 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're down will be the ones to help you get back up.
" " that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that does not give me the right to be cruel.
" " that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for love.
" " that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they dont 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.
" " that no matter how good a friend is, they are going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
" " that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
" " that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesnt stop for your grief.
" " that our background and circumstances may influence who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
" " that just because two people argue, it doesnt mean that they dont love each other. And just because they dont argue, doesnt mean they do.
" " that we don't have to change friends, if we understand that friends change.
" " that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.
" " that two people can look at exactly the same thing, and see something totally different.
" " 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.
" " that credentials on a wall do not make a decent human being.
" " that people you care about most in life are taken away from you too soon.
" " that its hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people's feelings, when standing up for what you believe in.
" " that people who know absolutely nothing about you, can change your life in an instant.
" " that your family can let you down, and sometimes...others can become your family, teaching you its"ok" to love again.
