I Believe

I Believe...

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 Believe...

That we don't have to change friends

if we understand that friends change.

I Believe...

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 Believe...

That true friendship continues to grow,

even over the longest distance.

Same goes for true love.

I Believe...

That you can do something in an instant

that will give you heartache for life.

I Believe...

That it's taking me a long time

to become the person I want to be.

I Believe...

That you should always leave loved ones

with loving words.. It may be the last time you see them.

I Believe...

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 Believe...

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.

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 your life can be changed

in a matter of seconds 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...

That the people you care about most

in life are taken from you too soon.
