What I've Learned
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 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 15 minutes.
After that, you'd better know something.
I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best
others can do, but to the best you can do.
I've learned that it's not what happens to people that's
important. It's what they do about it.
I've learned that you can do something in an instant that will
give you a heartache for life.
I've learned that no matter how thin you slice it, there are
always two sides.
I've learned that it's taking me a long time to become the person
I want to be.
I've learned that it's a lot easier to react than it is to think.
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 think 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 learning to forgive takes practice.
I've learned that there are people who love you dearly, but just
don't know how to show it.
I've learned that money is a lousy way of keeping score.
I've learned that my best friend & I can do anything or nothing
& have the best time.
I've learned that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when
you're down may be the ones to help you get back up.
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 [or to STAY
ANGRY. I can change my mind.]
I've learned that true friendship continues to grow, even over the
longest distance. Same goes for true love.
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 & less
to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
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 too.
