You have to learn that most of the things you worry about usually don't come true.
You have to learn there comes a time when you can't just sit back and watch; you have to join.
You have to learn that pain is a part of life, but so is happiness. Use them both at the right times.
You have to learn that you can't please everyone. Why try? Only be yourself to please the ones that really matter.
You have to learn that love is a risk, but so is getting out of bed in the morning. You don't know how long you've got.
You have to learn that no matter how hard you try, you can't be perfect. There is no such thing.
You have to learn that life isn't bad unless you make it that way.
You have to learn that the way you look at yourself, isn't the way others see you. This is because you know everything about yourself. They dont.
You have to learn that friends aren't the people with the coolest clothes, but the people with the kindest heart.
You have to learn that color is only a way of making something special.
You have to learn that heartbreak causes a weakness that only makes you stronger.
You have to learn that if there was no fear, there would be no courage.


Don't hold back the words you really mean.
