Realizations

 I have realized that sometimes, the people we LOVE the most will be the people who HURT us the most… 

     I have realized that sometimes, the people and things we appreciate the LEAST are the ones that count the MOST…

     I have realized that sometimes, when you do hold out for EVERYTHING, you end up walking away with NOTHING…

     I have realized that while WAITING is hard as not breathing, REGRETTING is all the more heartbreaking…

     I have realized that while LOVING may subject us to pain, HOLDING BACK is all the more agonizing…

     I have realized that while LETTING GO is never easy, MOVING ON is twice as difficult… 

     I have realized the while some good things NEVER LAST, some don’t even START…

     I have realized that what you KNOW is not always the same as what you THINK…

     I have realized that what you WANT is not always the same as what you NEED…

     I have realized that there is a big difference between what you WANT TO do and what you HAVE TO do…

     I have realized that there is a big difference between what you SHOULD see and what you COULD see…

     I have realized that love is not about dwelling on differences but about building bridges…

     I have realized that life is not about the number of times we fail but about the number of times we stand up after a fall…

     I have realized that knowledge is not about how many books you’ve read but about how many lessons you’ve learned…

     I have realized that friendship is not about the times you have talked but about the times you have listened…

     I have realized that prosperity is not about having the most but about needing the least…

     I have realized that selflessness is not about giving the most but about demanding the least…

     I have realized that not all the people we love will love us back the way we want them to…

     But I have realized that love need not be equal to be fair… it only needs to be true…

     I have realized that the people we love will not always live up to our expectations…

     But I have realized that true love is not about listing criteria…

     I have realized that the people we love will sometimes let us down…

     But I have realized that this does not mean they love us less…

     I have realized that people who love us won’t always know when they’re already hurting us…

     But I have realized that some things are better left unsaid and are best left to be realized…

     I have realized that it is inevitable that we will get our heart broken at least once in this lifetime…

     But I have realized that life does not end where our heartaches begin…

     I have realized that it is inevitable that some people we love will walk away from us…

     But I have realized that goodbyes are neither permanent or necessary…

On a lighter perspective…

     I have realized that when two people are meant for each other, it doesn’t mean that they are meant for each other RIGHT NOW…

     I have realized that we should never ever think that God’s delays are God’s denials… in the grand scheme of things, He makes everything perfect in his time…

     I have realized that friendship, carefully cultivated, could sometimes blossom into the deepest, most profound love… but we should keep in mind that as love grows, the friendship should be kept nourished as well…

     I have realized that true love can, indeed, transcend even the farthest distance… and that togetherness doesn’t have to always mean being hand in hand… but rather heart to heart… soul to soul…

     I have realized that God has given me my own personal miracle in someone who loves me in a way I never thought was possible… Someone who gives me so many reasons to feel happy, proud, and blessed…
