I've learned that sometimes you have to put the individual ahead of their actions.
I've learned that just because two people argue,
It doesn't mean they don't love each other.
I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I've learned that it takes years to build up trust,
And only seconds to destroy it.
I've learned that we don't have to change friends
If we understand that friends change.
I've learned that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret.
It could change your life forever.
I've learned that a good friend is better than a therapist.
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 it's hard to determine where to draw the line
Between being nice and not hurting people's feelings
And standing up for what you believe.
I've learned that no matter how good a friend someone is,
They're going to hurt you every once in awhile
And you must forgive them for that.
I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken,
The world doesn't stop for your grief.
