I've come to realize..

With birthday weekend successfully out of the way, I've decided to fill the rest of my weekend with working out, spring cleaning : round 2, and blogging! Today I was thinking about all the things I've learned in the last year, and throughout my life, and have decided to share with everyone. This is a little series of random facts that I like to call.. I'VE COME TO REALIZE.. enjoy :)

I've come to realize.. that money can't buy you happiness.

I've come to realize.. that some guys would rather buy the cow than get the milk for free.

I've come to realize.. old habits die hard.

I've come to realize.. it's a lot easier to say you're going to do something than to actually follow through with it. I've also come to realize that you gain more respect if you talk the talk AND walk the walk.

I've come to realize.. family is the one constant in my life. At the end of the day, if I feel like I have nothing else, I will always have a family who loves me.

I've come to realize.. just because you CAN be with someone, doesn't mean you should. Sometimes you have to understand that you deserve more and know when to walk away.

I've come to realize.. that taking the high road is hard but so, so worth it.

I've come to realize.. communication is just as important as trust in any relationship.

I've come to realize.. I will have friends that I don't talk to everyday but they will always be there for me.

I've come to realize.. I'm a much happier person when I put God first in everything I do.

I've come to realize.. I will change, grow, learn everyday.. but my roots and past will ALWAYS be a part of me. I will learn from my mistakes rather than dwelling on them and I will appreciate the good memories and not focus on the bad.

I've come to realize.. that I am a strong person but love makes me weak.

I've come to realize.. that sometimes I complain too much. I am so very blessed and should always look at the positive side of things.

I've come to realize.. some things never change.

I've come to realize.. sometimes people don't deserve second chances. Forgive, forget, move on.

I've come to realize.. the people closest to you, who you love the most, can sometimes hurt you the worst.

I've come to realize.. staying true to yourself is the only way to live. Don't break yourself trying to bend and fit into someone else's idea of what you should be. EMBRACE who you are, live it, love it!

I've come to realize.. the people who assume they deserve your time/energy, usually don't. The ones who appreciate it are worth it.

I've come to realize.. broken hearts always heal. Love will find a way.

So, there's that. Expect more of these posts, I like them :)
