As I've grown, I've learned several things.
Life is full of disappointments and people you
trusted will sooner or later let you down. I've
learned that often those you love will love
someone else and there's only one way to fall;
fast and hard. I've learned that out of
thousands of smiles, it takes one to touch
your heart. I've found that words can be
deceiving, but the truth always lies in a
person's eyes. I've learned that everything
can change in the blink of an eye and tears
often come without invitation. I've learned
crying can make us stronger and there is never
too much love to go around. I've learned
that prejudice helps no one and that weapons
don't hurt people, people hurt people. I've
learned sticks and stones may leave cuts and
bruises but harsh words leave scars. I've
found that every time you give someone a
piece of your heart, it's a piece that you will
never get back. I've learned the past is
meant to be put behind us and we can't dwell
on regrets. For what's done is done. I've
learned that trusting yourself is the first step
and that forgiving is remembering that helps
your own heart more than theirs. I've found
that family isn't always blood and everyone is
someone's hero. I've learned life is
unexpected and that God can do anything.
I've learned some things aren't meant to be
understood and that only time heals. I've
found that imagination is our greatest gift and
we are meant to dream for a reason.
I've learned it is never too late to fall in love
and that being "beautiful" is all on the inside.
Mistakes are our best teachers and everything
happens for a reason. Only then can you
live life to its true and full potential.
