Valuable Lessons

1.) Life goes on. Some things are meant to stay in the past. You can't spend your time dwelling on what could have been.
2.) Stand up for the things that are important to you. Don't let others make you succumb to following the crowd.
3.) Make sure that the things that you are doing make you happy. Don't try to please anyone, it isn't worth it.
4.) Have no regrets. I would rather look back on life and laugh at the stupid things that I've done than look back and wonder how things could have been.
5.) Sometimes things will change. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. But you can't avoid the fact that change is inevitable.
6.) Live in the moment. You can't spend your time what will be or what could have been.
7.) Count your blessings. Be grateful for the things you have, because they won't always be there.
8.) It's okay to love someone, but you can't let that love for them dictate your life. You have to think about what's good for you before you think about what's good for someone else. Don't be fooled when someone tries to take your love for granted. If they do this, then they don't love you.
9.) When someone tells you that their house is only fifteen minutes away, they're most likely lying. Especially if they are under 5'1 and a 16 year old boy. You'll get lost and get home past curfew.
10.) Love your mother. She is the one and only person that will be able to love you to the ends of the earth and back. Don't take that for granted.
