the life lessons taught to me

i've known the fickle nature of human hearts, the inconsistencies of love, the pains and joys of blood relations, and the boundaries (and, at the same time, the limitlessness) of dreams.

i've let go of people without a second thought, and held on dearly to others.

is that life? -- that in the imperfections, the flaws, the losses you continually see and rejoice in what you have gained in return?

i'm not looking for the why -- but rather the how.
