I have learned that: 
Beauty will only flourish in the light.
Firm values are the only real religion.
Love is eternal, every single time it happens.
Passivity is worse than ignorance.
Reality is the best part of life.
Love is stronger than time, and crumbles with dishonesty.
Hesitation and missed chances come hand in hand.
The only way to live is with unfaltering passion.
Self-worth is not self-determined.
