♥ Asphyxiated Love

:: doesn't matter ::

I’ve learnt -
that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.

I’ve learnt -
that it’s not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts.

I’ve learnt -
that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you’d better know something.

I’ve learnt -
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 learnt -
that no matter how much I care, some people just don’t care.

I’ve learnt -
that you should always leave loVed ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I’ve learnt -
that either you control your attitude, or it controls you.

I’ve learnt -
that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.

I’ve learnt -
that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I’ve learnt -
that money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I’ve learnt -
that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

I’ve learnt -
that sometimes when I’m angry, I have the right to be angry, but that doesn’t give me the right to be cruel.

I’ve learnt -
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 learnt -
that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you’ve had and what you've learnt from them less to do with how many birthdays you’ve celebrated.

I’ve learnt -
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.

I’ve learnt -
that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn’t stop for your grief.

I’ve learnt -
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.

How true they are... yet, there's still more to be learnt in this short life. Isn't life just so amazing?

More than anything,
