~ 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.
~ 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.
~ Some members of your family may not always be there for you. It may seem funny, but people you aren't related to can take care of you and love you and teach you to trust people again. Families aren't biological.
~ 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.
~ It isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
~ No matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.
~ Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
~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.
~ We don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
~ You shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.
~ That two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
~ No matter how you try to protect your children, they will eventually get hurt and you will hurt in the process.
~ Your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.
~ 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 learned that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
~ The people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.
