CherryBonita's blog: "Handbook 2010"

Things I have learned 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 just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. I've learned . . . that 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. I've learned . . . that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for whom we become. I've learned . . . that 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. I've learned . . . that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being. I've learned . . . that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change. I've learned . . . that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that. I've learned . . . that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs be, regardless of the consequences. 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 the people you care about most in life are taken from you to soon.
