This is what I wrote about a year and a half ago..... As I walk through Life....... I've learned..... That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life. I've learned..... That its taking me time to become the person I want to be. ...I've learned..... That you should always leave loved ones with loving word. It may be the last time you see them. I've learned..... That you keep going long after you cant. I've learned..... 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 somthing else to take its place. I've learned..... That heros 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 kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up. I've learned..... That sometimes when Im angry I have the right to be angry, but that dosent give me the right to be cruel. I've learned..... That true friendship continues to grow, even over th longest distance. Same goes for true love. I've learned..... That just because someone dosent love you the way you want them to dosent mean they dont love you with all they have. I've learned..... That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences youve had and what youve learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays youve celebrated. I've learned..... That your family wont always be there for you. It may seem funny, but people you arent related to can take care of you and love you and teach you to trust again. Families arent 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 muct forgive them for that. I've learned..... That it isent always enough to be forgiven by others, sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself. 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 dosent mean they dont love each other. And just because they dont argue, it dosent mean they do. I've learned..... That we dont have to change friends if we understand that friends change. I've learned..... That you shouldnt 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 your life can be changed in a matter of minutes, by people who dont 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.
