~I believe~




* 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 distances. The 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 we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.


* I believe that either you control your attitude or it controls you.


* I believe that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take it's place.


* I believe that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

* I believe that money is a lousy way of keeping score.


* I believe that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.


* I believe that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.


* 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 just because someone doesn't love you the way you want him or her to doesn't mean they don't love you with all he or she has.


* 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 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.


* I believe that you shouldn't be eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.


* I believe that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.


* I believe that your life can be changed, in a matter of hours, 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.
