I've learnt that...

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

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

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

• it's not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that counts.

• you can do something in an instant that will give you a heartache for life.

• no matter how thin you slice it, there are always two sides.

• you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

• we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

• there are people who love you dearly, but just don't know how to show it.

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

• just because someone doesnt love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

• 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.

• no matter how good a friend someone is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

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

• 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.

• we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

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

• there are many ways of falling and staying in love.

• no matter how many friends you have, if you are their pillar, you will feel lonely and lost at the times you need them most.

• the people you care most about in life are taken from you to soon.

• although the word "love" can have many different meanings, it loses value when overly used.

• love is not for me to keep, but to pass on to the next person I see.

• there are people who love you dearly but just don't know how to show it.

• even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

• every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love that human touch-holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

• I still have a lot to learn......
