I Believe
Peter Sorros


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 love each other. 

I Believe...
That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

I Believe....
That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that. 
 
I Believe...
That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love. 

I Believe... 
That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life. 
 
I Believe....
That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
 
I Believe...
That you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them. 
 
I Believe.... 
That you can keep going long after you think you can't. 

I Believe....
That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel. 

I Believe...
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I Believe...
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences. 

I Believe....
That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time. 
 
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 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 it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself. 
 
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 you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever. 
 
I Believe....
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 out to 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. 
 
I Believe...
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything they have.
