"Sometimes you have to be apart from the people you love,
but that doesn't make you love them any less.
Sometimes it makes you love them more."
- The Last Song

I want sunshine, and beach hair, and the smell of coconuts and salt water and sand all over. I wanna drive 90 with all the windows down, and float in the pool. I wanna party with my best friends. I wanna watch fireworks and lie on the front lawn looking at the stars. I want an adventure every day. I want the morning after around a kitchen table, laughing about the night before, I want the next day with my friends on the front porch. I want SUMMER.

The best things in life: Accidentally overhearing someone say something nice about you, waking up and realizing you still have a few hours left to sleep, first kisses, making new friends and spending time with the old ones, singing in the bathroom, sweet dreams, hot chocolate, making brownies and cookies, holding hands with someone you care about, watching a sunset, sleeping in, taking long hot showers, Starbucks, and knowing that somebody misses you.

Happiness is only real when shared.

Stop acting like if you walked out of my life today, I would just be able to pick up the pieces & move on. Stop acting like you don't know that you have total & absolute control over my heart. And most of all, stop acting like you're oblivious to the fact that from the day we laid eyes on each other, we both knew nothing would ever be the same.

Often, I think about the people who’ve walked away or drifted apart and it makes me really sad. So most times, I force myself to not think of it, and convince myself that there’s a reason why they’re not in my life now.

I used to be such a burning example. I used to be so original. I used to care I was being cared for. Made sure I showed it to those that I love. I used to pray like God was listening. I used to make my parents proud. I was the glue that kept my friends together. Now they don't talk and we don't go out. I used to know the name of every person I'd kissed. Now I made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it.

You are going to lose people in your life. & I realize that no matter how much time you spent with them, or how much you appreciated them and told them so, it will never seem like it was enough.


when people walk away from you, let them walk. don't try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, & caring for you. when people walk away from you, let them walk. your destiny is never tied to anyone that left.

Because one day, I'm going to tell him how he drove me right into your arms. And that. It's going to kill him.

i've decided i need to be more spontaneous - stop thinking about things so much and just do them, or else nothing that i want is ever gonna happen. like today, there were so many things i wanted to do - that i should have done - but i waited too long and missed my chance. so tomorrow, i'm gonna try much harder to just do the things that i want - not think about it, so hopefully it will be better.

In the end, it's not the years in your life that count,
but the life in your years.

It's funny how there are those certain people who feel comfortable & comforting in your life.
Just one look at them and you feel at ease with them you feel at home.

When things get tough, just remember that this is a necessary
chapter in your life that’s unfolding exactly as it should.

Our story has three parts: a beginning, a middle, an end. And although this is the way all stories unfold, I still can't believe that ours didn't go on forever.-N.S.

It's not the face but the expressions on it. It's not the voice but what you say.
It's not how you look in that body but the things you do with it. You are beautiful.

It's a lot easier to be lost than found. It's the reason we're always searching, and rarely discovered - so many locks, not enough keys.
- Sarah Dessen

My daddy used to tell me that the first time you fall in love, it changes your life forever, and no matter how hard you try, the feeling never goes away.

At some point, you've got to just jump. You've got to quit being scared of the "maybes" and "what-ifs". Quit cheating yourself out of the best thing that could ever happen to you. Quit cheating him of the same. Fall hard, fall long, and fall forever.

I want somebody to sleep with the rest of my life, & cuddle up during a movie, on a couch. Stay up all night talking about nothing. Get lost in the woods together. Challenge me, challenge him. Talk about dreams, make dreams. Have fights, the kind that only really matter just as long as you're having them. Someone I can wrestle with, you know, play hard sometimes & not worry about breaking a nail or an arm. A guy who will bring me flowers, once in awhile, maybe a rock too or a shell of some sort. Something he saw that made him think of me, made him think "this might make my girl smile" as he smiles to himself. A guy who wants me, maybe even needs me, just a little, enough to hold onto me with everything he's got.

Every experience in life, everything with which we have come in contact in life, is a chisel which has been cutting away at our life statue, molding, modifying, shaping it. We are part of all we have met. Everything we have seen, heard, felt, or thought has had its hand in molding us, shaping us.

You keep telling me to be glad for what we had while we had it. That the brightest flame burns quickest. Which means you saw us as a candle. And I saw us as the sun.

Our eyes are placed in front because it is more important to look ahead than to look back.

Life has great options.
But you don't always have to pick what seems to be the best.
Sometimes, the best and the right ones
aren't always what makes you happy.

Your life is built by your thoughts,
which guide your actions.
Anything is possible for you if you believe it,
act towards it, and accept it.

If you're born a lion, don't try to be tame.


Are you the owner of Crayola? Because you always give color to my life


Every bad situation will have something positive. Even a dead clock shows the correct time twice a day.

Life flies by, so you have to embrace it.
Forget the past, cause you cannot erase it.
So live the dream, and learn to chase it.
And when you can almost taste it, it'll all come alive.

People can live a hundred years without really living for a minute.

You said you wanted me to fall in love again, and maybe one day I will. But there are all kinds of love out there. This is my one and only life, and it's a great and terrible and short and endless thing. None of us come out of it alive anyways.
[P.S. I Love You]

I believe that you can fall in love many times with many different people. However, I don’t think that you can fall in love the same way twice.

Life is all about risks & it requires you to jump. Don't be a person who has to look back & wonder what they would have, or could have had. No one waits forever

Because that's what life's about. Its about the time where you lay in the grass next to someone you love. Its about the color of the sky, its about the roaring fire on a winter eve. Everybody hurts, everybody bleeds. Everyone laughs, smiles, and loves. And thats all that it is. There's no meaning of life, its nothing that can be defined. Its a matter of writing your own definition.

Boundaries don't keep other people out. They fence you in.

Sometimes I wonder what life would have been like if we never met. it would have been simpler; yes easier maybe, but then I realized that it also would be incomplete.

And she loves regardless of everything that has stained her life--she loves with everything she has left and that is beautiful.


Just smile, give a hug, do an unexpected favor;
any one of these could brighten some one's day.

She believed in dreams alright, but she also believed in doing something about them.
So when Prince Charming didn't come along, she went to the palace and got him.

A man who wants to make a relationship work will move mountains
to keep the woman he loves. if he's not calling you to tell you he loves you and
wants you back, it should only be because he's showing up at your new residence
to do it in person... if he's not doing any of that, he may love you, he may miss you,
but ultimately, he's just not that into you.
Stop taking his calls and let him know what it's like to live without you.

All that I'm after is a life full of laughter, as long as I'm laughing with you.


Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.

I was born with an enormous need for affection,
and a terrible need to give it.


Promise yourself to be strong, that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. Live in the faith that the whole world is on your side as long as you are true to the best that is in you.

The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls were connected. Maybe they always have and will be. Maybe we've lived a thousand lives before this one and in each of them we've found each other. And maybe each time, we've been forced apart for the same reasons. That means that this goodbye is both goodbye for the past ten thousand years and a prelude to what will come. When i look at you, i see your charm and your gentleness and know they have grown stronger with every life you have lived. And i know i have spent every life before this one searching for you. not someone like you, but you, for your soul and mine must always come together. And then, for some reason neither of us understands we were forced to to say goodbye. I would love to tell you that everything will work out for us, And i promise to do all i can to make sure it does. But if we never meet again and this is truly goodbye, I know we will see each other again in another life. We will find each other again and maybe the stars will have changed, and we will not only love each other in that time but for all the times we had before.
- The Notebook

Be content with who you are but always strive to better yourself.

I love sleeping in on Saturdays and I love college football games. I love not acting my age and good barbecue. Yeah I'm a fan of Faulkner books and anything my mama cooks. Small mouthed bass have got me hooked on Sunday afternoons, yes I love good cold beer and mustard on my fries. I love a good loud honky tonky rock song Friday nights and hell yes I love my truck but I want you to know honey I love your love the most

if you look at something in a new angle,
you will see just how beautiful it really is.
there is beauty hidden in even the gloomiest of place.

Life is like a piano. The white keys represent happiness, while the black keys represent sadness. But as you go through life’s journey, remember that the black keys make music too.

It is possible to give away and become richer.
It is also possible to hold on too tightly and lose everything.

If there’s anything I’ve learned in this whole getting over you process, it’s that your always going to mean something to me no matter what happens. Your always gonna be somewhere deep down inside me. Even when I’m happily married to the man of my dreams, if I were to run into you on the street and those gorgeous blue eyes were to meet mine, my heart would skip a beat because I’ll never forget you and the way you made me feel when we were young & stupidly in love.

Day 745 I lost you.

When you get to the end of your rope,
tie a knot and hold on.

We each take different paths in life,
but no matter where we go,
we take a little bit of each other everywhere.

Call me crazy, but I still believe very much in untainted, unchanging, everlasting love. Despite the heartbreak and the disappointment that follows each mismatch, I've never failed to pick myself right back up to dive into yet another dream. It's just I've seen rainbows without the rain. I've felt the ground shake as I've prayed. I've witnessed light shine from darkness, so I've concluded that true love must be out there, waiting for us.

Don't ever save anything for a special occasion.
Being alive is a special occasion.

If you're afraid of what's to come next, don't be. Embrace the
uncertainty. Be brave as it challenges your heart and your mind
as you create your own path toward happiness.

when you look for the best in others,
you bring out the best in yourself.

No one falls in love by choice, it is by chance.
No one stays in love by chance, it is by work.
and No one falls out of love by chance, it is by choice.
(Matthew 10:32)

One moment can change your mind,
one look can change your heart,
& one person can change your destiny.

You can be happy tomorrow. You can be happy when you get through
your list of things to do. You can be happy when you meet the one. You can be happy
when you get the right job. You can be happy when you get that raise. You can be happy when
you stop buying the things you need and start buying the things you want.
You can be happy when you retire. you can be happy when the weather suits you.
You can be happy on plane. You can be happy in the rain.
Or you can stop reading this, take a deep breath, and be happy right now.

Love, give, and forgive
and you will find yourself
blessed and impressed.

Dear New Girlfriend;
Treat him okay, he always acts tough around his friends, but it's just an act. Laugh at his jokes, even when they're not funny. It makes him happy. Never be the one to let go of his hugs first, it puts a huge smile on his face. Realize you have a great guy when you're dating him... because I never did.

Our fingerprints don't fade
from the lives we touch.
Anything other than yes, is no; Anything other than stay, is go; Anything less than 'I love you' is lying...

You exist but do you live?

Chances are like lightning,
they never hit the earth at the same spot twice.
So when a chance comes your way,
grab it cause it may never come again.

watching you walk out of my life does not 
make me bitter or cynical about love,
but rather makes me realize that if
 i wanted so much to be with the wrong 
person, how beautiful it will be when 
the right one comes along


Keep looking up, Mama used to tell me.
 There's nothing on the ground but your feet.



In 20 years. you will be more disappointed by what you didn't do than by what you did.

The reason why a seesaw was made for two
people is so that when you go down, there would
always be someone to lift you up again.


Monday, June 14, 2010

That's what I find most strange about this world, nobody ever says how they feel. They hurt, but they don't cry out. They're happy, but they don't dance or jump around. And they're angry, but they hardly ever scream because they feel ashamed. Nothing's worse than that. So we all walk around with our heads looking down and never look up and see how beautiful the sky is.

I love the feeling when my favorite song is on full blast in the car, driving through the country air. i like when my mom makes my favorite meal. i like traveling to nowhere, getting lost, and then the best part, being found. i like being held by someone who means a lot to me, especially when i haven't seen them in awhile. we always complain there isn't enough time. or that these moments never come around enough. it's true that we never stop growing old, and we mature faster than we'd like. but time is the essence of life, and it brings change and surprise. i like watching the people i care for get older, change, become who they're suppose to be. sometimes we all wish to go back, to repeat a moment, or pause it forever. but we need change, even when we don't want it. the cards are placed and time brings us closer to our destination. all the while as we travel through. the things we love doing, the people we share our life with, that's the destiny. we're not suppose to end up anywhere, we're suppose to make the best of this journey.

I love that im able to make you nervous. I love the cute little things that happen between us when we’re together. How we’re both constantly sneaking glance and when we meet each others eyes its like the feelings are trying to scream from inside of us. Most importantly I love how the smiles on our faces are so effortless. I sometimes don’t even realize how hard im smiling, and permanent the entire time we’re with each other.

I never give up. I don't let things pass me by, I say what I'm feeling, I don't hold back.

I think happiness is what makes people pretty.


It is one of life's tragedies when you meet someone that you know is meant to be, but due to unexpected circumstances and misunderstandings, becomes someone you knew. Or when you can walk right past someone that at one part of your life was a big part of your life, and how you used to be able to talk to them for hours about the little nothings in life, and now you can barely look at them, and all you have left is that aching feeling in your soul...

but aren't you supposed to learn from your mistakes? i don't consider this a mistake, i just wish the story didn't end this way, cause i'm still in love with the person who helped me write it.
I'm Alex Garza(:

Cameron baby, i can't say enough how you are my whole world.
you are what makes it go round each day.
the thought of you lights up my face and brightens my smile.
one look at you puts sparkles in my eyes more than a Christmas tree.
i love you more than i have ever imagined loving someone.
you consume me in every way and i am yours forever.


we've been together almost 4 years,
but you still make me feel like a little girl
with sparkles in my eyes
& butterflies in my stomach.
i love you.
we really are a fairy tale.
