They say the most important and often difficult lessons in life are those we learn through the people closest to us, the people that we love the most.  If not for them, the lessons will never be as effective nor will it accomplish the very purpose it was intended for.

And so i write, i write about the lessons i’ve learned these past few days about life, people, relationships, and God.

1. When you’re hurt, say it loud and clear.  Healing starts the moment you admit you are hurting.

2. Friendship is not a bank where you deposit love and get a guarantee on withdrawal.  Friendship is a soil where you sow love and allow the other person to reap so that you can grow.

3. In relationships, there will always be harsh lessons of reality.  Don’t fool yourself, open your eyes and see the truth.  Don’t cheat yourself out of the lessons that will help you to become strong.
 
4. You can’t force people to be concerned, instead concern yourself with what is important to them.

5. Never expect friends to act and treat you like family, because if they will then God would’ve given you the same parents.

6. Friends are not family, but family can be your most dependable friends.

7. Hurt will always lead to anger, but never allow anger to lead you to bitterness, unforgiveness, and revenge.

8. If God’s anger lasts for just a moment, don’t you think we  should try to have a much shorter deadline?

9. They say, in relationships it’s better to know the truth, atleast you know where to place your cards. I say, a relationship is not a deck of cards you play with a poker face.

10. When pain and anger says, “No more,” allow Love to reign and shout, “Once more!”
