After awhile you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. You learn that love doesn't mean Hanging onto someone and company doesn't mean security. You learn that those who lift you up may be the same people who let you down.
After awhile you learn that presents aren't promises and kisses aren't contracts. You learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. After awhile you learn that friendships come and go, but real friends will never leave you.
After awhile you learn that Love is not feeling hate, envy, or jealousy.
After awhile you learn that the word "trust" is only delegated to a chosen few. You learn that sometimes spring cleaning isn't just for your room but for you circle of friends too. After awhile you learn to plant your own garden instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. You learn that those who depend on relationships should not be in them.
After awhile you learn that no one should "complete" you, but rather "compliment" you. You learn that the best way to be in love is with yourself, and if you find someone who loves the YOU that YOU love, well then that's just fabulous.
After awhile you learn that to be a better person in this world you have to be the change you want to see in it; be an example for others to follow. After awhile you learn that the things we think are so important now will be irrelevant later in the grand scheme of things. You learn that throwing a pity party for yourself is rather pointless when there are those around you suffering from far worse. After awhile you learn how to accept mistakes with your head high, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child. You learn that for every minute you spend sad is 60 seconds wasted on not being happy. After awhile you learn that the best way to put your life into perspective is to face death or see it first hand. You learn that life is short, time is not promised and if you left this world tomorrow how would people remember you? After awhile you learn that some people need to learn their lessons on their own. You learn that no one can be told what to do, but rather they need to go through the motions and experience things for themselves. After awhile you learn that you don't know everything. You learn that life is all about learning more each day.
peace&love
