Long but worth the read.

I BELIEVE:

* 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 distances. The 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 we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we

feel.

* I believe that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

* 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 it's 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 him or her to doesn't mean they don't love you with all he or

she has.

* 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 bad your heart is broken the world

doesn't stop for your grief.

* 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 eager to find out a secret. It

could change your life forever.

* I believe that two people can look at the exact 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.

* I believe that the happiest of people don't necessarily have the

best of everything, they just make the most of everything they have.
