What 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-‎
that you should never ruin an apology with an excuse.

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

I’ve learned-‎
that you shouldn’t compare yourself to the best others can do. (2nd Cor10:2)‎

I’ve learned-‎
that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

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