i've learned a lot of stuff since is started college; a lot of it i wish i still was naive to. i've learned that friends do come and go. they will hurt you. they will disappoint you and let you down. some won't be there when you need them most. and yet, you still love them, whether you decide to guard your heart or not. and family is God's greatest gift. i've learned that love is a choice. i've learned that letting go isn't weakness. i've learned that strength requires a sense of fear. i've learned that life truly isn't fair. i've learned that one word can change a person's course; guard your lips. i've learned that death is God's way for us to be grateful for life. i've learned that pictures are the best instrument to warm memories. i've learned that it is never too late to start or finish. i've learned that kindness goes much farther than people expect. i've learned that patience is a virtue. (and i hate it. passionately.) i've learned that it is ALWAYS the darkest just before the dawn. i've learned that a size 0 does not equal happiness. obviously. i've learned that prayer is the most powerful form of communication ever. i've learned that grown up responsibilities aren't what they are cracked up to be. and growing down isn't an option. i've learned the power of sweatpants...and how they make any day better. i've learned to appreciate everything even more. i've learned a lot about myself... ...and i'm in the process of learning to accept it all. i know i've already posted this, but looking back on these words i wrote just a few months ago, i realize how true they really are...and how life is so unpredictable. |
