I've learned..

that you can do something in an instant
that will give you heartache for life...

that you should always leave loved
ones with loving words.
It may be the last time you see them.


that we are responsible for what we do,
no matter how we feel.


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

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.

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. 

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 we don't have to change friends
if we understand that friends change.


that two people can look at the exact same
thing and see something totally different.


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.
