Through out my life, my parents have always had many little lessons for me but there is one that has proved to be the toughest one to learn, but is also the best one they have ever given me. Their lesson to me is, once a person shows you who they really are, you need to believe them. I have most recently discovered how true this is. People can be very hurtful and cruel, and they often make bad choices. So, once a person shows you that they do these things, you need to know that's how they really are. You need to learn it, accept it, and move on.
The reason this has had such a strong influence over me, is that I have had friends in my life who I thought were the best, and that I cared for strongly, who made really dumb choices or treated me badly; They just weren't good friends to me. They showed me what kind of people they are and what kind of choices they choose to make on a regular basis. No matter how much it was upsetting to give them up, I accepted them for what kind of people they are, and I moved on. After a few weeks, I have realized how much better off I am without people like that in my life. I have learned a lot from my parents, and their opinions and lessons they teach me almost always have an impact on my opinions and thoughts.
