I've learned...

... that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.
... 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.
... that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better know something.
... that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
... that you can keep going long after you can't.
... that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
... that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
... that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
... 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.
... that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
... that people will forget what you said, and people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

... 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.
