I am learning...
I am Learning....
I am learning -
that either you control your attitude,
or it controls you.
I am learning -
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 am learning -
that heroes are the people who do what has to be done
when it needs to be done, regardless of the
consequences.
I am learning -
that money is a lousy way of keeping score.
I am learning -
that my best friend and I can do anything
or nothing and have the best time.
I am learning -
that sometimes the people you expect
to kick you when you're down
will be the ones to help you get back up.
I am learning -
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 am learning -
that true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.
I am learning -
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 am learning -
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 am learning -
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 am learning -
that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by
others. Sometimes you are to learn to forgive
yourself.
I am learning -
that no matter how bad your heart is broken
the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I am learning -
that our background and circumstances
may have influenced who we are,
but we are responsible for who we become.
I am learning -
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 am learning -
that we don't have to change friends
if we understand that friends change.
I am learning -
that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret.
It could change your life forever.
I am learning -
that two people can look at the exact same thing
and see something totally different.
I am learning -
that no matter how you try to protect your
children, they will eventually get hurt and
you will hurt in the process.
I am learning -
that your life can be changed in a matter of
hours by people who don't even know you.
I am learning -
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 am learning -
that credentials on the wall
do not make you a decent human being.
I am learning -
that the people you care about most in life
are taken from you too soon.
