Someone emailed a bunch of random life's lessons to me a while ago, and I was reading them this morning, and these particular ones are things I have learned in my nearly 3 decades on this earth. Some by making mistakes myself, and others by dealing with the backlash of others' mistakes, or by their good examples. Maybe some of these will make you feel optimism, like they did me. Read through them, and let me know what you think, feel, hate...
I have 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.
That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
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.
That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be. (A LOT LONGER THAN I PLANNED)
That you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
That you can keep going long after you think you can't.
That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.
That my best friends and I can do anything or nothing
and have the best time.
That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
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.
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
That no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief.
That our background and circumstances
may have influenced who we are, but,
we are responsible for who we become.
Two people can look at the exact same
Thing and see something totally different. (Ain't that the truth!)

Thanks for sharing! I love these. :) Sometimes I think arguing a little, especially in relationships, is healthy! It shows that you have passion and can express yourself. I know of some couples who never argue, but they never really talk about anything or express their love. I'd rather be madly in love and argue sometimes, than be apathetic in a relationship. :) Hope you're doing well!
