Lessons
I learned there are more things to worry about in this world than just yourself.
Grades,
Family,
Friends.
All of these put weight on you.
they need attention.
I learned to be independent.
Getting things accomplished:
Making sure they’re done right.
I learned that sometimes,
Life isn’t handed to you on a silver platter.
You have to work for the things you want.
Even if it means you have to fix things.
Someone,
something,
Anything.
I learned that people aren’t always LOYAL.
They’ll stab you in the back
if you’re not what they want or need.
I learned to have fun and live in the moment.
Not a lot of things last forever…
Especially the best ones.
I learned to roll with the punches.
Nothing can be bad enough to destroy you.
You’ll feel pain.
But, you won’t break.
It doesn’t Last forever.
I learned,
most importantly,
that no matter how much you succeed,
you’re just an ordinary person with a different background.
I learned that the best and the worst Days only last 24 hours.
