Lessons I learned in life...

Im so sorry about what happened to you and your girl.  I know no amount of comforting words will make you feel better or ease the pain, but I want you to know I'm still your friend and I am here if you need someone to talk to.  I will always be here to listen. 

 

The reason why I did not say much during the chat is because I feel you just need an outlet to vent things out and it will make you feel better at least to release some steam off.  Give yourself time to heal - it's a process, take one day at a time.  Heartaches are but a phase, it will soon pass.  I know it is easier said than done, but when this is over, you will feel like a different person - a better person. 

 

Take it easy on yourself ok.. I will pray for you - even though I know you don't believe in a Higher Power - cliche' as it may sound but I believe that God has better plans for you.  And you will come out a better person after this.

--- Hey buddy cheer up.  I want to share this with you..my lessons learned in life..kinda gave me a different perspective especially when I feel that life sucks.  take care ok..and I want to see you smile again. 

 

 

I've learned that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

 

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 you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

 

I've learned that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

 

I've learned that you can keep going long after you can't.

 

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 regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.

 

I've learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

 

I've learned that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

 

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 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 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 years you have lived.

 

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 no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

 

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 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 love each other.

 

I've learned that two people can look at the same thing and see something totally different.

 

I've learned that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.

 

I've learned 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 know you are going through a tough time right now..but hey, after falling, there's no way to go but up right?...so hang in there, tomorrow will be a better day. 

 

 

i shall not promise you forever

--- he sent me this poem...at wala akong naging reaksyon kundi ang tumingin sa langit, ngumiti at bumuntong hininga ...

i know i read this poem somewhere before, but to actually have someone dedicate it to me -- sigh..flattering.. inisip ko tuloy, ano kaya kung sya talaga mismo yung gumawa ng poem at alam mong ikaw ang naging inspirasyon nya para mabuo ang tulang ito (hindi naman masyadong mahaba ang buhok ko noh??!! hahaha), but whatever its worth, i am really thankful to him for making me smile again. 

 

i shall not promise you forever, because forever is too short a time for our love.

so i shall but promise to love you each day and every year to come.

 

i shall not expect of you to be always gentle and loving. 

i shall not demand that you love me all the time.

there shall always be forks on the road of life

and i shall not expect you to choose my road.

 

if you should find yourself in love with someone you think is far worthy than me,

i shall be forgiving of you and be grateful that somehow you loved me.

but please do not allow your thoughts to linger on such things

for i shall strive with all the power within me

to be as loving and understanding and kind as you expect me to be.

please don’t expect too much of me.

i may not give you anything everyday

but with everything i give goes all the love i could offer.

 

let your thoughts dwell upon the happy times we’ve spent together

and let these thoughts dwell upon your mind.

let not your thoughts dwell upon separation for one minute,

for such poison works quickly in the mind.

 

i shall not be mad if you forget our anniversaries for people are but liable to forget.

but please forgive me if within me i am hurt a little, just a little,

for i am liable to pain too -- that you mustn’t forget.

 

i shall not be too easy on you as you are not too easy on me,

but on the other hand i will not be too hard.

i shall then be fair as proper.

 

i shall not give you too much of myself

for too much is too little, and too seldom satisfies.

you should therefore not give too much of yourself too.

 

i shall be mostly thinking about you

and when we kiss it shall be ours and ours alone.

you must permit me to fight you sometimes if only to let off steams.

then our making up shall not to be too hard,

and we shall love each other all the more.

 

i shall not hinder you from expressing opinions of me,

for it will make me grow as an individual.

i too shall render you with some such opinions, but seeing at all time i do not cause hurt.

 

i promise to share with you all my life.

my sorrows and my failure shall be yours to share

to ensure you do not fall into the same trap into which i fell.

 

my happiness and joys and all my success shall be a part of you

because you are a part of me.

all my dreams and aspirations shall be yours to share,

and each new dawn we come upon shall be our discovery.

we shall live each day, as one better than the last

and there will be seldom dull moments in our life together.

 

i shall wake up each morning and look forward for the joy of being with you

and each minute shall be happy in the knowledge

that there is a place for us in this wonderful world!
