I learned about life by loving you. I learned that people always have two sides to them, their good side and their bad one. And when you’re in love, you love both sides just the same. I learned that people make mistakes, and forgiving and forgetting does not go hand-in-hand. If you forgive, you will never forget; If you forget, you’ll just never forgive. I learned that just because you mean everything you say, doesn’t mean everyone else does too. I learned that trust takes a long time to build, and it takes only a single act, a single suspicion, anything that might hurt to crumble it. I learned that when they push you, most times it means to push back, sometimes it means to let go. I learned that being happy doesn’t always mean doing what’s best for you, but doing what’s best for those you love. I learned that some people never realize what they have until it’s gone, and that I should never allow myself be one of those people. I learned that you can love someone with every ounce of you, and you can hate them just as much. I learned that the more you love, the more likely you are to hurt. I learned that I can be just as wrong as I was right. I learned that every person has a breaking point, even me.
