Things I've Learned

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 better know something.

¨ I’ve learned that you shouldn’t compare yourself
to the best that 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 no matter how thin you slice it,
there’s always two sides.

¨ I’ve learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words.
It may be the last time you will see them.

no matter how we feel.

but just don’t know how to show it.

or nothing and 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 I’m getting more and more like my grandparents,
and I’m happy about it.

¨ 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.

the way you want them to doesn’t mean
they don’t love you with all they have.

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.

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 are biological.

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

¨ I’ve learned that sometimes when my friends fight,
I’m forced to choose sides even when I don’t want to.

¨ 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 sometimes you have to put
the individual ahead of their actions.

¨ I’ve learned that we don’t have to change friends
if we understand that friends change.

to be no one who understands, God understands.
