I learned that you should never give up on the person you love, but when they give up on you, its time to give up on them. I learned that promises are always meant to be broken and that you should never give a person your “all.” I learned that relationships ultimately end in two ways: marriage or breakup. I learned that the secret ingredient to a strong relationship is maturity, because it takes so much maturity to overcome all obstacles and to love to the fullest. I learned that the one person you never thought would hurt you, WILL. I learned that you are my first love, but now, you aren’t my last. I learned to not surrender all my happiness on a relationship or the person I love. I learned you never get over your first love. I learned about your flaws. I learned that in order to remain strong, I must first accept the truth. I learned that I have to love to the fullest and at the end of the day, at least I gave my all in making this work. I learned that I was the one who persevered and stayed strong, through thick and thin. I learned I was the one who didn’t give up first, but you. I learned to let go. I learned that I deserve better. 

This is what I learned.
