A wise person once wrote:
I've learned that:
...no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.
...no matter how good a friend someone is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
...it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.
...true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
...you can do something in an instant that will give you a heartache for life.
...you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
...our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
...you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do, but to the best you can do.
...it's not what happens to people that's important. It's what they do about it.
...no matter how thin you slice it, there are always two sides.
...it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
...it's a lot easier to react than it is to think.
...you can keep going long after you think you can't.
...we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
...either you control your attitude or it controls you.
...sometimes I just need to be held.
...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.
...heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
...learning to forgive takes practice.
...there are people who love you dearly, but just don't know how to show it
...money is a lousy way of keeping score.
...my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.
...sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.
...I'm getting more and more like my grandma, and I'm kinda happy about it.
...sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
...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've celebrated.
...you should never tell a child her dreams are unlikely or outlandish. Few things are more humiliating, and what a tragedy it would be if she believed it.
...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.
...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 for your grief.
...sometimes when my friends fight, I'm forced to choose sides even when I don't want to.
...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.
...sometimes you have to put the individual ahead of their actions.
...we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
...if you don't want to forget something, stick it in your underwear drawer.
...you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.
...the clothes I like best are the ones with the most holes in them.
...it's not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that counts.
...two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
...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 you try to protect your children, they will eventually get hurt and you will hurt in the process.
...there are many ways of falling and staying in love.
...no matter the consequences, those who are honest with themselves, get farther in life.
...many things can be powered by the mind, the trick is self-control.
...no matter how many friends you have, if you are their pillar, you will feel lonely and lost at the times you need them most.
...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.
...writing, as well as talking, can ease emotional pains.
...the paradigm we live in is not all that is offered to us.
...credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
...the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon.
...although the word "love" can have many different meaning, it loses value when overly used.
...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.
