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 distance. Same goes for true love.

I believe that you can do something in an instant that will give you a 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 you can keep going, long after you can’t.

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 its 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 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 them to doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have.

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 our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

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 so 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, 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.

My personal additions:

I believe that just because you may not be 100% accepted by your friends, doesn’t mean you aren’t “acceptable”.

I believe that just because you believe the lies others tell, doesn’t mean you’re stupid.  It just means you’re too trusting.

I believe that others not believing in you doesn’t give you an excuse to not believe in yourself.
