am learning

what i've learned (swiped somewhere)

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


no matter how much i care, some people just don't care back


it takes years to build up trust and only seconds to destroy it


it's not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts


you can get by on charm for about 15 minutes after that, you'd better know something


you should not compare yourself to the best others can do


you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for the rest of your life


it's taking me a long time to become the person i want to be


you should always leave loved ones with loving words, it may be the last time you see them


you can keep going long after you can't


we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel


either you control your attitude or it could control you


regardless of how steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place


heroes are people who do what has to be done, regardless of the consequences


money is a lousy way of keeping score


my best friend and i can do anything and nothing and can have the best time


sometimes the people you expect to kick you down will be the ones to help you get back up


sometimes when i'm angry i have the right to be angry but that dosen't give me the right to be cruel


true friendship continues to grow even over the longest distance, same goes for true love


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


maturity has more to do with what experiences you have had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you have celebrated


you should never tell children their dreams are unlikely or outlandish, few things are more humiliating and what a tragedy it would be if they believed it


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


 


it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others, sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself


no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop your grief


our background and circumstances may have influenced who we were but, we are responsible for who we become


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 that they do


we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change


you shouldn't be too eager to find out a secret, it could change your life forever


two people can look at exact same thing and see something totally different


no matter how you try to protect your children, they'll eventually get hurt and you will be hurt in the process


your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you


even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help


credentials on the wall doesn't make you a decent human being


the people you care most in life are taken from you too soon


it's hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people's feelings and standing up to what you believe
