Thought this was interesting......
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 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 think you can't.
I believe...
that we are responsible for what we do,
no matter how we feel.
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 my best friend and I can do anything
or nothing and have the best time.
I believe...
that sometimes the people you expect
to kick you when you're down,
will be the ones to help you get back up.
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 badly 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 exactly the
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 to you
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.
They will make horrid cheerleaders. Though I'd like to see Evan in a little skirt. -Mandy

aaw.. yea i've seen it too but i think it's very true... and so many of those things people forget at times...people have the strength in themselves to be who they want to be and go where they want to go.. but it's ur friends and family and those that care about u that help u up when u fall and help guide u along the way and walk with u simply becuz they want to be with u

wow. I hadn't seen that poem, bit it is so true. The leaving loved ones with loving words is something I've practiced my entire life. It is true that you could never see them again and then feel terrible for the rest of your life.
As for the rest of that poem, thank you. I really, really needed it.
