I’ve learned that nobody will believe in you until you believe in yourself first. I’ve learned that you won’t always understand everything, but that doesn’t mean you should give less effort. I’ve learned that true beauty isn’t defined by a size 0 waist or pretty eyes, the purity of your heart is the only thing that shows your true beauty. I’ve learned that nobody has the power to control you. You are in charge of weather you're holding yourself back or pushing yourself forward.
I’ve learned that you only get back what you put out, if you treat others horribly you’ll be treated the same way in return. I’ve learned that true friends are there for you when things go wrong with a shoulder to cry on. I’ve learned that some of the best moments in life can’t be explained with words alone. I’ve learned that good things do NOT come to those who wait, but to those who work hard to make the good things for themselves.
I’ve learned that anyone can say they love you, but only a few actually mean it. I’ve learned that you waste your time regretting your past, it’s better to learn from it. I’ve learned that sometimes the people you look up to the most let you down the most. I’ve learned to look at people as works of art, beautifully unique and incomprehensibly delicate.
I’ve learned that taking chances lead to the best memories. I’ve learned that pain is temporary, until you let it live inside you. I’ve learned to laugh at myself when I mess up. I’ve learned to never take anything you have for granted, because when you do it always slips through your fingers before you can appreciate it.
I’ve learned to love myself even when it feels like nobody else does. I’ve learned that words are beautiful when used correctly, but can also break people if you don’t use them right. I’ve learned that when there’s no one else in your life you can always count on family. But most of all I’ve learned that life is a magnificent balancing act of our experiences and our perspective that make us who we are.
