A long time ago my “manfriend” told me you are going to change so much over the next 5 years. My 20 year old self thought he didn’t know what he was talking about – I am an extremely mature 20 year old. Oh boy oh boy was he right… the past 5 years have brought more than I ever could have possibly imagined… and I am better for it… I came across this passage of what Maya Angelou told Oprah she had learned by her 70th birthday…
- I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
- I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.
- I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life.
- I’ve learned that making a ‘living’ is not the same thing as ‘making a life.’
- I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.
- I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back…
- I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.
- I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one.
- I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back…
- I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn…
- I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
these are a few of the things I have learned:
- different people should be held to different expectations in your life – this will prevent disappointment
- time truly does heal all things
- there are some people you cant change – which doesnt change how much you want to – but all you can do is support them
- there are those few people in life you can 100% depend on
- God gives the tough stuff to the people he think can handle it
- there is nothing like the bond between family
- men need to be loved – woman need to be wanted
