I've learned that you cannot make someone love you.
All you can do is be someone who can be loved
The rest is up to them.

I've learned that no matter how much I care,
some people just don't care back.

I've learned that sometimes when my friends fight,
I'm forced to choose sides even when I don't want to

I've learned that it takes years to
build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it

I've learned that it's not what you have in your life
but who you have in your life that counts

I've learned that you can get by on charm
for about fifteen minutes.
After that, you'd better know something

I've learned that it's a lot easier
to react than it is to think

I've learned that no matter how thin you slice it,
there are always two sides

I've learned that regardless of how
hot and steamy a relationship is at first,
the passion fades and there had better be
something else to take its place

I've learned that you shouldn't
compare yourself to the best others can do
but to the best you can do
