Things I learned this weekend

I learned that sometimes you hurt the ones you love the most, even tho they may still love you, it still doesn't make it okay. I learned that selfishness caused me to miss what could've been some of the best years of my life. I learned that it's okay to be ashamed or feel guilty of something from the past because that's not who I am now. I learned that I can speak openly and freely as long as when I speak openly and freely I am honest with whom I am speaking to and with myself. I learned that although you can't change the past, when someone is very special, you can move forward. I learned how much pain can be caused by just not being there. I learned that everyone makes mistakes and that I am not alone. I learned that you can't plant the seed and return to see the blossom and understand the journey it took to get there. I learned that it was a hard struggle for someone to be able to forgive and move forward. Yet, because they have, my heart is lighter. I learned someone had to be stronger at an early age than I'd ever been in my entire life. I learned that I am lucky to know such a person and to have them back in my life. Oh, and I also learned that someone in my life is really impressed with the chili cheese fries at Olivers...I love you
