An Educational Week

This last week has certainly been .. exhausting. Eventful. Eye-opening. Extremely educational, not to mention exciting.

.. Okay, enough with the alliterations already, although I must admit I was doing in on purpose towards the end. Hee hee ....

Seriously though, in the last eight days, I've learned that the ones you love are the ones you take for granted and that the ones you love the deepest are the ones you hurt the worst.

That you don't realise the worth of something until you lose it, that you don't know how infinitely precious something is until it's gone. And if there is need for regret, then it is often too late.

I've learned that allowing yourself to be vulnerable sometimes doesn't make you weak but instead makes you all the stronger for it and strengthens your relationships.

That relationships don't survive without forgiveness, and when you are on the receiving end, few experiences are more humbling.

And I've finally learned that to be able to love and be loved with no 'if only's and 'but's is a liberating experience indeed.
