Bunny's Place ~ I've Learned

I've Learned

I've learned ~

that you cannot make someone love you.

All you can do is be someone who can be loved.

The rest is up to them.

I've learned ~

that no matter how much I care,

some people just don't care back.

I've learned ~

and only seconds to destroy it.

I've learned ~

that it's not what you have in your life

but who you have in your life

that counts.

I've learned ~

to kick you when you're down

will be the ones to help you get back up.

I've learned ~

that true friendship continues to grow,

even over the longest distance.

Same goes for true love.

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 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.

their dreams are unlikely or outlandish.

Few things are more humiliating, and

what a tragedy it would be

if they believed it.

that your family won't always

be there for you. It may seem funny,

I've learned ~

that no matter how good a friend is,

they're going to hurt you

every once in a while

Sometimes you have to learn

to forgive yourself.

your heart is broken

the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I've learned ~

that our background and circumstances

may have influenced who we are,
