Things I have learned in
my lifetime
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.
I've learned - that no matter how much I care,
some people just don't care back.
I've learned- that it takes months, even
years, to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.
I've learned- 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'd better know something.
I've learned- that you SHOULDN'T compare
yourself to the best others can do.
I've learned- that you can do something in an
instant that will give you and especially other s a 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
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 help you when you're down will be the ones to keep
kicking you in the back.
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.
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 you should never tell a
child their dreams are unlikely or outlandish. Few things are
more humiliating, and what a tragedy it would be if they believed
it.
I've learned- that your family won't always be
there for you. It may seem funny, but people you aren't related
to can take care of you and love you and teach you to trust
people again. Families aren't biological.
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 even if a friend promises
you the world, they'll dump you in a heartbeat if they hook up
with someone popular.
I've learned- that it isn't always enough to
be forgiven by others. Sometimes you are 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 our background and
circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are
responsible for who we become.
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 no matter how you try to
protect your children, they will eventually get hurt and you will
hurt in the process.
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 it's hard to determine
where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting
people's feelings and standing up for what you believe.
