I've Learned That...

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 won't care back.

I've learned that it takes years to build up trust,
and only seconds to destroy it.

I've learned that you can do something in an
instant that will give you a heartache for life.

I've learned that it's not what you have in life,
but who you have in your life that counts.

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 we are responsible for
what we do, no matter how we feel.

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

I've learned that true friendships continue
to grow, even over the longest distance.
The same goes for true love.

I've learned that just because someone
doesn't love you the way you want them to,
it doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

I've learned that no matter how good a friend
someone is, they're going to hurt you once in
a while and you must forgive them for that.

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 there are so many
ways of falling and staying in love.

I've learned that 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.

I've learned that love is not for me to keep,
but to pass on to the next person I see.

I've learned that everyday you should reach out
and touch someone. People love that human
touch - holding hands, a warm hug, or just a
friendly pat on the back.

I've learned that I have a lot to learn.
