"What 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
                   fifteen minutes.
                  After that, you'd better know something.

I've learned-that you shouldn't compare
                  yourself to the best others can do.

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

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

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 you can keep going
                   long after you can't.

I've learned-that we are responsible for what we do,
                  no matter how we feel.

I've learned-that either you control your attitude
                   or it controls you.

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

I've learned-that money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I've learned-that my best friend and I can do anything
                   or nothing and have the best time.

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

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.

I've learned-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've learned-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've learned-that you should never tell a child
                   their dreams are unlikely or outlandish.
                   Few things are more humiliating, and what
                   a tragedy it would be if they believed it.

I've learned-that your family won't always be there for you.
                   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
                  aren't biological.

I've learned-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've learned-that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by
                   others. Sometimes you are to learn 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 you shouldn't be so eager to find out a
                   secret. It could change your life forever.

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 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 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've learned-that credentials on the wall
                   do not make you a decent human being.

I've learned-that the people you care about most in life
                   are taken from you too soon.

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.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is the
most painful is to love someone and never finding the courage to let
the person know how you feel.

Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, the romance- and
you find out you still care for that person.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens but often we look so
long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened
for us.

The best kind of friend is the one you could sit on a porch, swing
with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like that was the
best
conversation you've had.

Its' true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's
also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love
you back! Don't expect love in return, just wait for it to grow in their

hearts but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.

There are things you love to hear but you would never hear it from the
person whom you would like to hear it from, but don't be deaf to hear
it from the person who says it with his heart.

Never say goodbye when you still want to try - never give up when you
still feel you can take it - never say you don't love that person
anymore when you can't let go.

It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone
and a day to love someone - but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Don't go for looks' it can deceive; don't go for wealth - even that
fades away; go for someone who makes you smile coz' only a smile makes
a dark day seem bright.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make
you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you
happy and enough money to buy me gifts :)

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

Love starts with a smile, develops with a kiss and ends with a tear.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.

Live your life so that when you die, you're smiling and everyone around
you is crying.
