so I'm learning.
I'm learning that we're gonna argue, but we can get past that. that no matter how good someone is to you, they're gonna hurt you, but true friendship is about forgiving. that choices we make in a second might bring us heartache for the rest of our life. I've learned that you should always leave the ones you love with nothing less than loving words, because you never know if that's the last you'll see of them. I've learned that we deserve the consequences for the actions we take, regardless of how we felt that moment. that you gotta learn how to control your attitude, or your attitude will control you. that the people who keep bringing me down might just lend me a helping hand to knock me straight back up one day. that maturity comes with the experiences you've taken from, not with birthdays. that no matter how bad my heart has been broken, the world will not stop for my grief. that our environment may affect who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. that two people can look at the same thing & think two completely different things; & sometimes, that's okay. that even if I am broken beyond repair, if a friend cries for help, I can somehow find the strength to help. that the people you care most about are the people who are too soonly taken away from you. that we have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give us the right to be cruel. that true friendship continues to grow, no matter how many miles or seconds apart. same thing goes for love. that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be. that we can keep going long after we think we can't. that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, no matter what the consequences are. that the best of my friends are the ones I can do absolutely nothing with, & yet, have the best time. that maybe the reason you carry heartache with you is because it's not enough to be forgiven by everyone else. maybe you gotta learn to forgive yourself. I'm learning that we shouldn't push to find out secrets, because those are the things that change our lives forever. that my life can be/has been changed by people who don't even know me, in a matter of h o u r s. that the happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything. We just make the most of everything.

I'm finally learning who I am. what worth I have. learning that not everyone tells the truth, & that there's a lot more shady people in this world than I thought. I've been learning that the amount of love I have for a person will not stop them from hurting me, or lying to me. I'm learning to figure out what I want now. I'm learning that letting go doesn't make me weak, even if that person doesn't realize what they've lost. it only makes me stronger for realizing it all together. having the strength to walk away, no matter how much hurt I carry along the road. because it's better to reach an end of a road, rather than to be walking over the same path, over & over again, not knowing where I stand in a person's life.
call me shallow for being picky.
I'm looking at it differently.
I know what I want now, & fuck no, I'm not settling for anything less.
