I've learned...(Article which appeared in YES Youth Express 20/7/2001)

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

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

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

* That it's not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts.

* Thaty you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better know something.

* That you should'nt compare yourself to the best others can do.

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

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

* That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

* That money is a lousy way of keeping score.

* That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

* That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get up.

* That true friendship continues to grow; even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* That it is'nt always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you are to learn to forgive yourself.

* That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world does'nt stop for your grief.

* That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

* That just because two people argue, it does'nt mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it does't mean they do.

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

* That two people can look at the exact same thing and see womething totally different.

* That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.

* That even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.

* That the people you care about most in life are taken from you soon.
