There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore, and who always will. So don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason they didn't make it to your future. You'll never leave where you are until you decide where you'd rather be...

I'm a pretty tough girl, but i have my moments of weakness. I live for the days when nothing seems to far out of reach. You may see me struggle, but you will never see me fail. I would rather pretend everything is fine then admit it's not. I dont like letting people close enough to hurt me, it just seems easier that way. I've cared too much to really care anymore. I dont trust people easily so if you have my trust, dont loose it. I can promise you one thing; i will always be okay.

What I've Learned....

I've learned that no matter how thin you slice it, there's always two sides. I've learned that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be. I've learned that it's a lot easier to react than it is to stop and think. I've learned that you either control your attitude or it controls you. I've learned that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had, and what you've learned from them, than how many birthdays you've celebrated. I've learned that quality is more important than quantity when it comes to friends. I've learned that it isn't enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you just have to learn how to forgive yourself. I've learned that no matter how badly your heart is broken, the world won't stop for you. I've learned that backgrounds and circumstances might have influenced who you are, but we are responsible for the people we become. I've learned that you can't make somebody love you, all you can do is be somebody who can be loved. I've learned that the word 'love' has many meanings, but it loses value when over-used and most importantly, I've learned that no matter how old or wise you think you are, life never stops teaching.
