Still Learning….

I’ve learned…
that you can do something in an instant
that will give you heartache for a lifetime.

I’ve learned…
that you should always leave loved ones with an “I love you” and a hug.
It may be the last time you see them.

I’ve learned…
that we are responsible for our own actions,
no matter how we want to feel about it.

I’ve learned…
that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I’ve learned…
that heroes are the people who do what has
to be done when it needs to be done,
regardless of the consequences.

I’ve learned…
that you cannot make somebody love you,
but you can make them want to.

I’ve learned…
that sometimes the people you expect to
kick you when you’re down will be the
ones to help you get back up.

I’ve learned…
that true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance.

I’ve learned…
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’ve learned…
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’ve learned…
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’ve learned…
that it isn’t always enough to be forgiven by
others, sometimes you have to learn to forgive
yourself.

I’ve learned…
that our background and circumstances may
have influenced who we are, but we are
responsible for who we become.

I’ve learned…
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’ve learned…
that we don’t have to change friends
if we understand that friends change.

I’ve learned…
that two people can look at the exact same
thing and see something totally different.

I’ve learned…
that even when you think you have no more
to give, someone cries out to you,
you will find the strength to help.

I’ve learned…
that credentials on the wall do not
make you any richer.

I’ve learned…
that sometimes the people you care about most,
will hurt you the most.

I’ve learned…
that family and friends are what make
us who we are today, and without them
we would never be complete.

I wish drama gave us good karma.

I’m so tired of the drama. He’s so tired of the drama. And the reasons we’re tired have absolutely nothing to do with us. Okay, I guess a few dramasodes are because of us.

We’ve got Bob drama, Clayton and Amanda drama, Britney and Tyler drama, moving drama, money drama, lack of job drama, Nick and Jody drama…..I’m praying that all of this drama will bring us good fortune. It’s only fair, it’s been sooooooo hard to deal with everything. Just when one drama seems to be over…..another one starts or RE-starts.

I’m sick of it all. I want some peace in my life. If I don’t get it soon, I’m gonna flip the hell out. For real.

Be good to me Karma, I got pulled into this one….

“Karma moves in two directions. If we act virtuously, the seed we plant will result in happiness. If we act non-virtuously, suffering results”.

I read this today and found myself wondering……”Okay, now….does this quote, theory, whatever, apply to people that are unwillingly pulled into a situation???  A situation where the non-virtuous act is being committed by someone else and that someone willingly pulled another someone, in to their mess???   Because, if so…..that doesn’t seem fair to me.  Why should someone have negative Karma coming their way, when they didn’t cause the bad Karma in the first place???

If it IS in fact saying this……then how in the hell am I going to be able to react virtuously (in order to redeem my ass),  in such a non virtuous situation???  There are 2 people involved, one will be happy, the other will be sad.    I need a lot of seeds and I need to plant them carefully.

God, this sucks.
