I have learned

[kendra1980]

I have learned it is generally best NOT to over think a thing.

It is hard not to do for some of us though...or I think it is, and then again maybe not.

I considered her a friend years ago ... we still bump into each other occasionally. She was, in the true sense of the word, a friend. She was right beside me through thick and thin (even the "a friend would bail you out of jail, but a true friend would be sitting beside you" shhhhhhh )

I grew up since then though and all of the things that we did together ... they're fun to re-live occasionally but I prefer to put that part of my life behind me.

We keep in touch here and there but nothing like it used to be.

wanted to make sure you didnt think I was putting down your friendship.
I was just trying to relate how much I think of you!

Among the many things i have learned, here are a few.

I have learned that in the end people will let you down and the only one you can trust is yourself.

I have learned that true love doesn't just happen you have to make it happen.

And, as a philosopher(can't remember who) once said, it is one of the great occurrences in life that no man is able to help another without thinking of himself first.

*sigh* i know not very optimistic but what can i say i'm a cynic, probably the worst you will ever meet.

I'd never think that Oman!

I have learned:

When I am healthy, I do not appreciate my good health enough.

When I am happy, I do not appreciate my family enough.

When I seem to be gliding through a stretch of my life, I do not appreciate my faith enough.

And, there's no sense in caging cats, snakes, and turtles. Snakes can get out, turtles can be cared for in a much more humane way than cages, and cats ... well, isn't it obvious why?

I have learned that no matter how much faith I put in him, he'll forever let me down.

I have learned that no matter what goes wrong
job problems
car problems
money problems
they all dont matter that much
I have her in my life,that's all that matters!

I have learned...

That being alone is not such a bad thing.
That being lonely is a very bad thing.
That the two of these are not the same thing.

I have learned...

That friends are good to have.
That family are not always friends.
That friends can be better family but then family.

I have learned...

That I'm not as smart as I thought.
That I'm not as dumb as they thought.
That you can be smart and still be dumb.

I have learned...

That some memories can not be forgotten.
That some things can not be remembered.
That your mind has a good reason for this most of the time.

I have learned...

That crying is not that bad for you.
That laughter is not always good for you.
That it is possible to do both at the same time.

I have learned...

That lies can really hurt.
That truth doesn't always heal.
That you can say both at the same time.

I have learned...

That no matter how much I learn there is always more to learn.

I have learned that it's best to tell it like it is, rather than try and sugar-coat things. It's also better to be honest with someone rather than try and deceive them.

Fortunately, I have not had to learn these the hard way. I learned them through watching friends/family make the mistakes for me.

 

[shykittyme]

I have learned that reading old posts is probably not a good idea...

 

[kendra1980]

I've learned that I can't fix every thing, or every body. Not even myself, sometimes.

The control freak in me wants to. But in the realization of the above, I've become able to let go. I'm learning to live differently, and I think better.

Accepting the things you cannot change, yet learning to live with, and around them, that's a hard lesson, but I do wish I'd have learned it years ago.

I miss this man.
