ad and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated. I Believe... That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others. Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself. I Believe... That no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief. I Believe... That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, But, we are responsible for who we become. I Believe... That you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life Forever. I Believe... Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different. I Believe... That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you. I Believe... 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 Believe... That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being. I believe... The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything they have. A good friend will come bail you out of jail... but a true friend will be sitting next to you saying WE screwed up, but we had fun! I've learned..That life is like a roll of toilet paper. the closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes. I've learned... That we should be glad God doesn't give us everything we ask for. I've learned... That money doesn't buy class. I've learned... That it's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular. I've learned... That under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved. I've learned... That the Lord didn't do it all in one day what makes me think I can? I've learned... That to ignore the facts does not change the facts. I've learned... That the less time I have to work, the more things I get done. I believe that faith runs deep in our souls no matter how hard we try to push it out. I believe that friends who have slipped away whether it be good or bad have made an impression for life. I have found that wanting something NOW is not always best for later. I have found that no matter how much you hate the person looking back at you in the mirror is going to be there tomorrow and you truly have to love yourself. I have found that the strength from loved ones can keep you together but in reality its your willingness to LET them help you. I know i need to keep growing. I know i need to stay on track to keep myself and my life together the way i want.".
