What I have learnt and still learning....

chameleon
By chameleon

- That you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.

- That no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.

- That it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.

- That it's not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts.

- That you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better know something.

- That it's not what happens to people that's important. It's what they do about it.

- 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 either you control your attitude or it controls you.

- 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.

- That learning to forgive takes practice.

- That money is a lousy way of keeping score.

- 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 true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

- 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 years you've lived.

- 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 you.

- 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 it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

- That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

- 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 sometimes you have to put the individual ahead of their actions.

- That you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.

- That no matter how you try to protect your children, they will eventually get hurt and you will hurt in the process.

- That there are many ways of falling and staying in love.

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

- 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.

- That writing, as well as talking, can ease emotional pains.

- That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

- That the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon.

Happy weekend everyone:)
