I've learned... that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life. I've learned... That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be. I've learned... That you should always leave loved ones with loving words... It may be the last time you see them. I've learned... That you can keep going long after you think you can't. I've learned... That we are responsible for what we do... no matter what we do. I've learned... That you either control your attitude or it controls you. I've learned... That no matter how hot and steamy a relationship is at first... the passion fades... then there had better be something else to take its place. I've learned... That heros are people that do what has to be done when it needs to be done... regardless of the consequences. I've learned That money is a lousy way of keeping score. I've learned... That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing... and have the best time. I've learned... 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 learned... The ones I've looked up to stabbed me in the back... Kicked me when I was down... and spread false gossip about me to make themselves look good. I've learned... 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 learned... That true friendship continues to grow... even over the longest distance... Same goes for true love.
