Lesson's Learned

Have you ever sat and thought: "I never thought this is the way my life would turn out?"  I have often pondered on this thought and I have wished that I could turn back time and make different choices.  I have learned a lot from mistakes that I have made and learned even more from people that I counted on's mistakes as well.  The lessons have been hard and I often wonder what am I suppose to learn from this?  I also ask how many more lessons am I going to have to go through before I can stop learning?  I have learned that you can't make someone love you no matter how much you try, you can't change a person or go back in time and relive the fun times.  People do change their minds about promises made and I also now know that promises are made to be broken.   The sad part of all of this is that I always seem to be on the receiving end, or shall I say I am the student, not the educator.  I have also learned that I care too much about people who could careless about me or my well being.   I hope after all the lessons that I have learned that I will be able to teach or shall I say warn my daughter of these lessons, before she has to go through all that I have.  The most important lesson I have learned is......Life Goes On!
