Lessons Learned

I found this amazing quote online and decided to share it in poem form. I don't know who wrote it and wish I did so I could give them due credit.

As we grow up,
we learn that even the one person
that wasn’t supposed to ever let you down
probably will.
You’ll 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’ll fight with your best friend.
You’ll blame a new love
for things an old one did.
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 sixty second 
you spend upset
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.
