True... True...
nuI guess you've already heard about Hi5.com. Well it really does connect the world. For instance, an old friend of mine just sent me a message telling me some things we used to do in the past, but without telling me who she really is. So it's up to me to guess now, which is totally cool. While checking her profile out, I ran into her journal, which sadly has only 3 posts, but one of them is awesome. I read it several times and now I decided I have to post it here as well. I still haven't got her permission for this, but I do hope she'll be alright with it. You can see the original post here. The text bellow is translated so it might not be 100% accurate. I'll do my best to maintain the "spirit" of the quote.
"...We have time for everything...to sleep...to run from here to there...to regret what we've done wrong and to repeat the mistake...to judge the others and to forgive ourselves...we also have time to write...to subedit what we wrote... to regret what we wrote...we have time to make projects and not to respect them...we have time to have illusions and to rummage later in their ash... we've got time for ambitions and diseases, to blame the destiny and the details... we have time to watch the clouds, commercials or a certain accident...we have time to chase off our questions...to postpone our answers...we have time to crash a dream and reinvent it...we've got time to make friends, and lose them... we have time to get lessons and then forget them... we have time to receive gifts and not understand them... we've got time for everything... there is no time for a little tenderness... when we are about to do it - we die... I have learned that you can't get somebody to love you... all you can do is to be a loved person...the rest...it's up to the others... I learned that no matter how much I'd care, the others might not care at all... I've learned that takes years to gain trust, and just a few seconds to lose it. I've learned that it does not matter what you've got in life but whom you've got. I've learned that you can get on and your charm is useful for about 15 minutes... but then, you'd better know some things... I learned that you don't need to compare yourself with what the others can do, but with what you can do... I've learned that it doesn't matter what happens to the people, but what I can do to solve it out... I learned that no matter how you'd cut, everything has two sides... I learned that you need to break apart from the loved ones with warm words, because it might be the last time you see them... I learned that you can continue for a long time after you said you can't make it anymore. I've learned that there are people that love you, but they don't know how to show it... I learned that when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but I may not be evil... I've learned that friendship and true love continues to exist even over distance... I learned that if somebody doesn't love you as you wished they would, doesn't mean that doesn't love you from all their heart. I've learned that no matter how good your friend is, from time to time they will hurt you, and you have to forgive that. I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by the others, sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself. I learned that no matter how much you suffer, the world will not stop for your pain... I've learned that the past and circumstances might have an influence on your personality, but you are responsible for what you become. I've learned that if two people fight, it doesn't mean that they don't love eachother, as well as the fact that if they don't fight, it doesn't mean that they're in love. I learned that sometimes you have to point the person and not their actions... I've learned that two people looking at one thing they might see something totally different... I've learned that no matter the consequences, the ones that are honest with themselves go further in life... I've learned that your life can be changed in a few hours by people which don't even know you... I've learned that writing and talking can calm soul pains...I've learned that it is too hard to figure it out when to draw the line between being nice, not hurting people and stand up for your opinions...
... But more than anything, I've learned to love so I could be loved..."
Thank you for this wonderful lines...
