As I've grown, I've learnt several things.
Life is full of disappointments & people you trusted will sooner or later let you down.
I've learnt that often those you love will love someone else & there's only one way to fall;
fast & hard.
I've learnt that out of thousands of smiles, it takes one to touch your heart.
I've found that words can be deceiving, but the truth always lies in a person's eyes.
I've learnt that everything can change in the blink of an eye
& tears often come without invitation.
I've learnt crying can make us stronger & there is never too much love to go around.
I've learnt that prejudice helps no one & that weapons don't hurt people,
people hurt people.
I've learnt sticks & stones may leave cuts and bruises but harsh words leave scars.
I've found that every time you give someone a piece of your heart,
it's a piece that you will never get back.
I've learnt the past is meant to be put behind us & we can't dwell on regrets,
for what's done is done.
I've learnt that trusting yourself is the first step
& that forgiving is remembering that helps your own heart more then theirs.
I've found that family isn't always blood & everyone is someone's hero.
I've learnt life is unexpected & that God can do anything.
I've learnt some things aren't meant to be understood & that only time heals.
I've found that imagination is our greatest gift & that we are meant to dream for a reason.
I've learnt it is never too late to fall in love & that being "beautiful" is all on the inside.
Mistakes are our best teachers & everything happens for a reason.
Only then can you live life to it's full & true potential.
