Things I've Learned

I've learned that ...

• we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
• it's a lot easier to react than it is to think.
• it takes a long time to become the person I want to be.
• it's not what happens to people that's important, it's what they do about it.
• you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do.
• it's not what you have in life but who you have in life that counts.
• it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to deatroy it.
• 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.
• you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see or talk to them.
• 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 types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you have celebrated.
• true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.
• sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.
• learning to forgive takes practice.
• they are people who loves you dearly but just don't know how to show it.
• no matter how good friend is, they're going to hurt you once in a while. You must forgive them for that.
• it isn't always anough to beforgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
• our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we are become.
• just because two people argue, doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, doesn't mean they do.
• there are many ways of falling and staying in love.
• the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon.
• to be FRANK and LOVE myself for what I am and choices I've made !
