what ive 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 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 learned that it takes years to build up
      trust, and only seconds to destroy it.
    • I've learned that it's not what you have in your
      life, but whom you have in your life that counts.
    • I've learned that our background and
      circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we
      become.
    • I've learned that we are responsible for what we
      do, no matter how we feel.
    • I've learned that either you control your
      attitude or it controls you.
    • I've learned 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 learned that maturity has more to do with
      what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less
      to do with how many birthdays you’ve celebrated.
    • I've learned that two people can look at the
      exact same thing and see something totally different.
    • I've learned 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 learned that it isn't always enough to be
      forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive
      yourself.
    • I've learned 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 learned that no matter how bad your heart is
      broken the world doesn’t stop for your grief.
    • I’ve learned that no matter how you try to
      protect your children, they will eventually get hurt, and you will hurt in the
      process.
    • I've learned that you should never tell a child
      their dreams are unlikely or outlandish.
    • Few things are more humiliating, and what a
      tragedy it would be if they believed it.
    • I've learned that heroes are people who do what
      has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the
      consequences.
    • I’ve learned that you can keep going long after
      you
      can’t

  1. Mora your site is beautiful. I found it a bit hard to read what you have learned because the back ground is green and so is the writing. Might check it out. Other wise, your a very intelligent young lady and I am proud to be your grandma Nana. Love Nana

  2. Mora, if it wasn't for the picture I would swear you were 3000 yrs old by this post. That's not a bad thing, just saying that's some stuff people take a whole lifetime to learn. You're like the wise mythical sage living in the mountains that a bunch of heroes would go out on an epic quest for in hopes that you will reveal their destiny.

    Good stuff, gave me a couple flashbacks reading it.
