I've learnt - That sometimes when my friends fight, I'm forced to choose sides
even when I don't want to. 

I've learnt - That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do. 

I've learnt - That sometimes you have to put the individual ahead of their actions. 

I've learnt - That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change. 

I've learnt - That you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever. 

I've learnt - That two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different. 


I've learnt - That there are many ways of falling and staying in love. 

I've learnt - That no matter the consequences, those who are honest with themselves get farther in life. 

I've learnt - That no matter how many friends you have, if you are their pillar
you will feel lonely and lost at the times you need them most. 

I've learnt - That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you. 

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. 

I've learnt - That writing, as well as talking, can ease emotional pains. 

I've learnt - That the paradigm we live in is not all that is offered to us. 

I've learnt - That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being. 

I've learnt- That the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon. 

I've learnt- That although the word "love" can have many different meanings,
it loses value when overly used. 

I've learnt - That it's hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people's feelings and standing up for what you believe.
