Things I Have Learned

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 kick you when you're down
will 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.

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 and
less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I've learned that
some members of your family may not 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
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.
