In my life 

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 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 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 just because two people argue, 
it doesn't mean they don't love each other 
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.

secret. It could change your life forever. 

I've learned-

and see something totally different.

that your life can be changed in a matter of 
hours by people 
who don't even know you. 

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