I have learned that feeling like you absolutely cannot live without this person - is not the same thing as love.

I have learned that the only person you can trust 100% is yourself.

I realized I am selfish and needed to learn how to really truly be giving and think of others.

Don't expect others to love your "flaws" while you expect their perfection. Especially, if you are the worst of the two in the looks department. Either change yourself, or have mercy on the other and don't pursue them in the first place.

People are always saying that want people to love them the way they are and etc. but that is NOT an excuse to not make yourself look as appealing as possible!

Wise!

I believe that is what most teenagers say and feel at one point or another... I did for a while but wow, I'm glad I passed that phase pretty quick!

I have learned, and continue to learn, that in this life people come and go. We are all on our own paths or journeys. Sometimes our paths cross and we share life for a long time; sometimes our paths cross for brief periods of time. There is nothing anyone to do to make another person stick around. What is to be, will be. No need to make anyone out to be "wrong" for leaving, not even ourselves. Just be kind.

Something I've learned is not to confuse pleasure for happiness. Pleasure is short term, happiness is long term, and they don't often go hand in hand. There were/are a lot of things that can give me pleasure in a relationship, but that doesn't always equate to happiness. Knowing the difference can spare you a lot of disappointment.
