[Seventeen] Life and love

Have you ever just sat down and looked at where you are in life today?....

Is it what you imagined it would be? Or is it something completely different?....

Did you do all the things you wanted to do? What about the things you said you would never do?....

I’ve learned that life is a complete mystery. You don’t know what is going to happen today or tomorrow. All you can do in live in the moment and hope that you are making the right decisions and that things turn out the way you want them too.....

I’ve learned that everyone makes mistakes, but instead of regretting things take it as a learning process. With everyone mistake comes a new lesson and with every lesson comes growth. Nobody is perfect. So why strive for something that is impossible?....

I’ve learned that life is too short for holding grudges and Drama. Tell the people you care about how much they mean to you, because they may not be here tomorrow.....

I’ve learned that love comes and goes, and that you will always get over a broken heart.....

I’ve learned that in order to love someone and make them happy, you must first love yourself and make yourself Happy.....

Here is something I got from a friends blog, and it really just stuck with me.. It made me look at things differently and helped me see why some things are the way they are.....

.. ..

The greatest irony of love is loving the right person at the wrong time, having the wrong person when the time is right, and finding out you love someone right after that person walks out of your life.....

And sometimes, you think you're already over a person, but when you see them smile at you, you'll suddenly realize that you're just pretending to be over them just to ease the pain of knowing that they will never be yours again.....

For some, they think that letting go is one way of expressing how much you love the person.....

Most relationships tend to fail not because the absence of love. Love is always present. It's just that one was being loved too much and the other was being loved too little.....

As we all know that the heart is the center of the body but it beats on the left. Maybe that's the reason why the heart is not always right.....
Most often, we fall in love with the person we think we love only to discover that for them, we are just for passing time, while the one who truly loves us remains either a friend or a stranger.....

So here's a piece of advice:....

Let go when you're hurting too much.....

Give up when love isn't enough.....

-&- Move on when things are not like before.....

It's amazing what one person can do. Some people build you up just to bend and break you. Some people bring out parts of you that you had no clue existed. All throughout life we meet people and every single one of them brings something to us, gives us some sort of purpose. We come across people that will hurt us so incredibly much that it seems unbearable to go on with our lives, but the truth is....

--....

We can overcome anything we want to if we believe in it enough, if we have faith in ourselves, in who we are. The most important thing in life is to find yourself, know who you are at all times and stand by that for the rest of your life. No one has the right to tell you who you are or try and control your life because it's yours. Your life is meant to be lived by no one else but yourself.....

We sometimes let people get the best of us, destroy us and change our opinions on what we believe is true. Only you can know what is right for yourself, you have the power, you make the choices and you learn. Each experience we go through in life is a lesson to be learned. We all make mistakes, why is that so hard for some to understand? No one should be judged by the mistakes they have made. It's past news. Everything happens for a reason, and without the hard times, how would we ever realize our true strengths? It's only through a time of suffering when we realize how strong we truly are inside, when we realize how much we can actually put up with and deal with before we eventually break.....

Life is a roller coaster, a never ending cycle. Every person is unique and beautiful in their own way. Each individual has a beauty that is unexpressed. Beauty is within. You love a person for how they make you feel, for their courage and compassion. I believe we always go back to the people that were there in the beginning. You create so much history with certain people, they become a part of you, they're in your heart. Even though miles may seperate you and maybe you have even grown apart, there are those certain people that will somehow always be in your heart forever. ....

As we grow up,....

we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.....

You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time.....

You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.....

You'll fight with your best friend.....

You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.....

You'll cry because time is passing too fast,....

and you'll eventually lose someone you love.....

So take too many pictures,....

laugh too much,....

and love like you've never been hurt.......

Because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.....
