This Is So True.........

**I love this picture , "The Mermaid" by Howard Pyle , so desperate and tragic. Each from a different world. They are so in love and it`s all so impossible for them. It always brings tears to my eyes at the sadness of it. Someday I would like a bathroom done around this painting.**

I recieved this in my e-mail from my sweet Aunt. I don`t know who wrote it but it`s so true and so beautiful........


I believe-

Same goes for true love.

I believe-
That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down,will be the ones to help you get back up.

I believe-
That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.


I believe-
That just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

I believe-
That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I believe-
That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I believe-
That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are but, we are responsible for who we become.

I believe-
That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.

I believe-
That you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.

I believe-
That two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

I believe-
That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even
know you.

I believe-
That even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries for you, you will find the strength to help.

I believe-
That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

I believe-
That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.
