An old one but one that I love...

You Learn.
       You Live.
              You love.

    You are taught in life to learn from your experiences and from those around you. You learn your abcs, 123s, may I and please. You learn early on that life isn't always fair. You learn that no matter what, someone will always be better than you.
    You learn as you get older, what the word "friend" really means. You learn to decide for yourself who will always be there for you and who won't. You learn to let some go and let some in. You learn that as you let some go, that even though it hurts, it's probably for the best. You learn who you should trust and who you shouldn't. You figure out that even though you trust some more than you should, that people really do stab you in the back. That some had alterior motives in being your friend or never really had intentions on really being a friend. You'll have to learn to deal with that kind of pain too. You'll learn that in life, you'll lose loved ones and that the pain of that never goes away.
    In life, you learn who you are and learn what it is you want to be. You learn how hard it is to get by everyday, you learn that things will hardly ever go the way you want them to. Nobody asked you how you wanted to live. Life doesn't come to you on a silver platter and there's no one that can make it any easier on you. Sometimes it sucks and that's all there is to it.
    When it comes to life, you wake up, you live day to day by the things you have learned. You get up, start your routine. Brush your teeth, brush your hair, get dressed and face the world in front of you. If you have morals, you remember to keep those close to you and live by those on a daily basis. When it comes to living, you take with you the examples that have been placed in front of you and try to get an outcome either just the same or better. We make mistakes and we try to always remember the mistakes so we can make them right in the future. In life, you learn how to push yourself everyday so that you make yourself a better person, not only for yourself but for others in your life and for those who look up to you. You learn to put a smile on your face because a smile is better than a frown and that no matter what you're going through, a smile will help you get through some of your toughest times. We forget how often our faith gets weaker due to the tougher the times..but we learn..
We live...
     We love...
    In the nasty game of love, you learn what it means to give your heart away, and learn how to take it back. We learn that giving away a heart isn't so bad...until it's broken. You learn that sometimes, loving someone isn't always enough. You learn that no matter how much you love someone, you can't make them love you back and if you don't love them, you can't make yourself feel ways that you don't. You learn who truly loves you and who doesn't. You learn that if they never loved you, there was no point in it at all. Remember that sometimes we cant help but love those that destroy us.
    But, when it comes to love, you realize just how good it can make you feel. You can see just how good it can be for your soul. Sometimes loving someone makes you feel better about yourself  and the person that you are when you are with them.  If someone truly loves you, then they love the flaws too..they see past them and see the person you truly are. There's no better feeling than that kind of love. There's nothing better than knowing that you have someone in your life who makes you a better person inside and out, and that just maybe, you make that person feel better too. That they feel like a better person because of who they are when they are with you. You never learn how to stop loving.
    You never learn how to stop learning.
    You never learn how to stop living.
     There's no rule book on life. There's no rule book on love. And, there's no rule book on how to learn, you just do by your experiences, by your trials, and by your faith in all that exists.
                                              *That's why they say you live, your learn, you love.*
