As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.

You will be lied to.

You will realize that there are times you'll just have to give up on something or someone.

You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time.

You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.

You will realize that everyone is a hypocrite.

You'll fight with your best friend.

You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.

You'll realize that there is no such thing as a fairy-tale happy ending.

You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.

So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every second you spend hurt, upset, sad, angry or in tears is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.
