I've learnt that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change. I've learnt 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. I've learnt that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. The same goes for true love. I've learnt that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life. I've learnt that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be. I've learnt that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them. I've learnt that you can keep going long after you can't. I've learnt that money is a lousy way of keeping score. I've learnt that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time. I've learnt that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up. I've learnt that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel. I've learnt 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. I've learnt 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 have lived. I've learnt that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself. I've learnt that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief. I've learnt that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. I've learnt 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 love each other. I've learnt 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. I've learnt that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being. I've learnt that the people you care about most in life are sometimes taken from you too soon
