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 you can get by on

charm, for about fifteen minutes. After

that, you’d better know something;

I’ve learned that either you control

your attitude or it controls you.



I’ve learned that no matter how hot

and steamy a relationship is at first, the

passion fades and there had better be

something else to take it’s place.



I’ve learned that sometimes the people

you expect to kick you when you’re

downhill are the ones to help you get

back up.



I’ve learned that sometimes when I’m

angry I have the right to be angry.

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 that they don’t

love you with all they have.



I’ve learned that maturity had 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 your family won’t

always be there for you.

I’ve learned that no matter how good a

friend is, they’re going to hurt you

every once in a while.



I’ve learned that it isn’t always enough

to be forgiven by others. Sometimes

you have 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 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 get

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 it’s hard to determine

where to draw the line between being

nice and not hurting people’s feelings

and standing up for what you believe.
