"As I’ve grown, I’ve learned several things. Life is full of disappointments and people you trust will sooner or later let you down. I’ve learned that often those you love will love someone else and there’s only one way to fall: fast and hard. I’ve learned 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 learned that everything can change in the blink of an eye and tears often come without invitation. I’ve learned crying can make us stronger and there is never too much love to go around. I’ve learned that prejudice helps no one and that weapons don’t hurt people, people hurt people. I’ve learned sticks and 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 learned that past is meant to be put behind us and we can’t dwell on regrets, for what’s done is done. I’ve learned that trusting yourself is the first step and that forgiving is remembering that helps your own heart more than theirs. I’ve found that family isn’t always blood and shared chromosomes, everyone is someone’s hero. I’ve learned life is unexpected and that God can do anything. I’ve learned some things aren’t meant to be understood and that only time heals. I’ve found that imaginations are our greatest gift and we are meant to dream for a reason. I’ve learned it is never too late to fall in love and that being “beautiful” is all on the inside. Mistakes are our best teachers and everything happens for a reason. Only then can you live life to its true and full potential."
