~I BELIEVE~
that we don't have to change friends
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 true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love
that you can do something in an instant
that will give you heartache for life
that it's taking me a long time
to become the person I want to be
that you should always leave loved ones with loving words.
It may be the last time you see them
that you can keep going long after you can't
that we are responsible for what we do,
no matter how we feel
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 heroes are the people
when it needs to be done,
regardless of the consequences
that money is a lousy way of keeping score.
that my best friend and I can do anything
or nothing and have the best time
that sometimes the people you expect
to kick you when you're down,
will be the ones to help you get back up
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 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 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 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 you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret.
It could change your life forever
that two people can look at the exact same thing
and see something totally different
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 credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being

I believe-
that the people you care about most in life
are taken from you too soon.~
