I've Learned

...that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

...that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.
The same goes for true love.

...that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

...that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

...that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down,
will be the ones to help you get back up.

...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 years you have lived.

...that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

...that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are,
but we are responsible for who we become.

...that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret.
It could change your life forever.

...that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.

...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.

...that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

...that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.

...that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.

...that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.

...that it's not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts.

...that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

...that learning to forgive takes practice.

...that there are people who love you dearly, but just don't know how to show it.

...that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

...that regardless of your relationship with your parents,
you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.

...that making a "living" is not the same thing as "making" a life.

...that life sometimes gives you a second chance.

...that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands;
you need to be able to throw some things back.

...that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.

...that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

...that every day you should reach out and touch someone.
People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

...that I still have a lot to learn.

...that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel.
