believe it or not, you are in control of your own life. you are the reason why you’re sad. and you’re the reason why you’re happy. so don’t wait for happiness. go out and find it. right now. and don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise.

Even if you think the flame has died, there's a least one lyric that'll hit that last hot spot, and then you'll find yourself as fucked as you were the day you lied and said you never wanted to see him again.
- John Mayer

My heart? Yeah, it broke, I'm not gonna lie. For a minute I thought that I was gonna die. But then I stepped back and took a long look at who I gave my heart to, and what it took to make love last, what makes it true and baby you just don't have a clue. So thanks for setting me free. Now I can find somebody worthy of me.

life is the ability to feel so happy, you think your insides are going to explode. it's being so upset or disappointed, you feel as if your stomach just dropped ten feet out of place. it's running so hard, you can barely breathe. it's the feeling of panic when you know you've been caught doing something wrong. it's having that sudden rush before you kiss someone you care about. it's opening your eyes and feeling them sting because you spent the whole night crying. it's letting people go because new ones come in, and all the while realizing that life doesn't have a purpose unless you let it.


Look in the mirror in the morning and smile and say "I am blessed to be stressed and too anointed to be disappointed. Winners make things happen; losers let things happen.



Just because the road ahead is long, is no reason to slow down. Just because there is much work to be done, is no reason to get discouraged. It is a reason to get started, to grow, to find new ways, to reach within yourself and discover strength, commitment, determination, discipline.



Not everything turns into what it's supposed to be. Not everybody is supposed to just walk out of your life. Sometimes surprises and second chances do happen, you just can't be afraid to let them happen.


My parents said that I was special, that I wear my heart on my sleeve. But really, I just trust people too easily. I usually create a false image of who I want them to be instead of who they really are. Soon, it's the fantasy person I trust. I believe it when they say, "i'm your friend" or "you can trust me" or "I truly care about you." I'm the cause of my own downfall. I trust people too easily.

Some things don't last forever, but some things do. Like a good song, or a good book, or a good memory you can take out and unfold in your darkest times, pressing down on the corners and peering in close, hoping you still recognize the person you see there.



The past year has been filled with tears, heartbreak and constant worrying. Just as i threw the towel in and walked away from love. Thats when you came in, you showed me that not all boys leave & that its okay to give your all to someone. For the first time in a while i feel like im on top of the world so please, i beg you..dont break my heart.

As long as you're enjoying life, and as long as you're happy, it doesn't matter what you're doing.


Next time you're stressed, take a step back, inhale & laugh. Remember who you are & why you are here. You're never given anything in this world that you cannot handle. Be strong, be flexible, love yourself & love others. Always remember, just keep moving forward.

Forgetting you will be impossible. You impacted my life in a way
no one
can describe. And I'll still love you, even though you're gone.

Life isn't about how many people call you and it's not about who you've dated, are dating, or haven't dated at all. It's not about grades, money, clothes, or colleges that accept you or not. Life isn't about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone, and it's not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. Life just isn't about that. Life is about who you love and who you hurt. It's about how you feel about yourself. It's about trust, happiness, and compassion. It's about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance, and building confidence. It's about what you say and what you mean. It's about seeing people for who they are and not for what they have. Most of all, it is about living your life to touch someone Else's.


i believe being alone means you're free. that old lovers miss you and new lovers want you and the one you're with is the one you're meant to be with. that everything you want to happen, will happen. if you decide you want it enough. that every time you think a sad thought, you can think a happy one instead.

the best things in life aren’t things, they’re moments,
feelings, lessons, faith, emotions, discoveries, truths.

It’s hard when you miss people.
But you know if you miss someone,
that means you’re lucky.
It means you had someone special in your life,
someone worth missing.

"I was married, once. I married the first man I truly loved. Thought we had this whole fairy tale thing going on. It was, he was amazing. We were amazing. And then he did something, something stupid and thoughtless and mean. Kinda something I was not willing to forgive. So I left him and I left him behind and I went on and I live this whole other life now. And It’s good, it’s fine, I have a great guy, a doctor, my life is damn near perfect. But every once in a while I think about that guy and the fairy tale thing we had. I wonder if we’d still be amazing if we were together now. And I’ll never know. Cause the minute it got hard, the minute it stopped being a fairytale, I cut and ran. Real life is hard, real stuff takes work. Real life is sometimes heartless and mean. But that doesn’t cancel out the love. So if you don’t love this girl, walk away. But if you look at her and you know she’s the one, you owe it to yourself to give her a second chance."-Private Practice

Stuff your eyes with wonder. Live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories. Ask no guarantees. Ask for no security. There never was such an animal and if there were, it would be related to the great sloth which hangs upside down in a tree all day, everyday, sleeping its life away. To hell with that. Shake the tree and knock the great sloth down on his ass.

Love has no age limit. It's not like alcohol or something. You don't have to be 21 to love. I mean, when I was three, I loved my teddy bear. The only difference now is my teddy bear is taller then 6 feet with blonde hair & blue eyes. He can walk, talk, & this teddy bear actually loves me back.

Maybe it’s true what they say. There are those people you encounter in life who you never really get over.
No matter how many other better people you meet, people who treat you better and love you better, in the back
of your mind, there is always that person you can’t quite completely forget.

The fact that you cannot kiss your elbow is enough to make you
realize that some things seem to be so close, yet they are bound to be beyond your reach.

Life has only three guarantees. Smiling will brighten your face,
laughing will enhance your eyes, and falling in love will change your life.

Love is fragile and we're not always it's best caretakers.
Even the best of us make mistakes.
We just muddle through and do the best we can to hope this fragile thing survives by all odds.
(The Last Song)


Living on nothing but love while you're still young.
Life is too short to put it off anymore. You gotta live it before it's too late.
I can't turn that clock back around. What you're dreaming about- you better do it now, don't wait.


Life's a roller coaster: you scream at the peaks, hold hands through the dips,
laugh through the loops, & enjoy every twist and turn along the way.


For those who have grown with me or watched me grow up, I have always been the same girl.
More mature, maybe. More wise. But my core has stayed the same.
The funky spun in my step is still there like it was from my childhood years.
My outright bluntness from my first sentence in meeting someone. Last, the choice to be different.
Yeah, sometimes I think to myself ‘Maybe I should be like all you out there.
Start dying my hair, waking up to straighten it everyday. Pounds of make-up, looking sexy 24/7.’
But, nah; I’ll stick to what I’ve got. Yes, you “super hot” girls make me feel pretty Plain Jane sometimes,
but for those who are understanding me right now, I’m better than you because, under all that make up,
who’s gonna want you now that everyone is so used to seeing you glammed up like a doll?
Do you have as much as ambition and drive as I do under all that make-up?


Follow your internal compass.
Steal a heart.
Lose track of time.
Live your life.


It`s those moments when you drive around in a car full of friends around a town too small for you
where you gasp for breath between each laugh.
It`s about those moments where you get high off of just breathing in so deep,
The ones who make you feel invincible, even at your weakest points.

You have to decide what’s most important to you: keeping your pride and getting nothing,
or taking a risk and maybe, maybe have everything.

You cannot put a price tag on love, no matter how hard you try.
Though some have tried and many will, it’s impossible.
By doing so it means one of two things; either you’ve underestimated the true value of love,
or you’ve failed to fully define what love really is.


I want to appreciate the times when moments are made into memories.
I want to embrace them, cherish them, and never forget that they come so few and far between.
I know that wherever life takes me, these moments will always follow.
They remind me of what's truly important. It's not just life, but living.
It's the journey, the destination and all the points in between. And I must admit, I like what I see.


The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for being.

There’s so much of the world to explore, and although I’m a small town girl at heart,
I have to get out there and see it for myself.

You take a while to fall in love with someone. Trust takes time.
You tend to give more than take in relationships. You need your space & privacy.
You don't like to be smothered. You're secretly hoping your partner will change for you.
You stay in love for a long time, even if you aren't loved back. When you fall, you fall hard.

Making a mistake doesn't matter; what matters is how determined you are to fix it.
But remember, a mistake is like writing on a foggy window, no matter how hard
you try to cover it up, if you look close enough.. it's still there.

Perfection is defined when your heart beats next to mine,
and time stands still for us. Your hand in my hair, and mine on your chest.
Moments with you are my life's best.

I’m a girl. I have feelings. I overreact. I underestimate. I overestimate.
I over think everything. I look too deep into everything’s meaning. I dream big.
My expectations are high. I can tell when I’m being lied to but sometimes I wish I didn’t.

There is and should not be one definite definition for beauty. It is everything.


I try my best for all friends.
My new thing is: If I'm presented with any decision,
try & do the best thing I can for humanity.


People say you have at least five dreams per night.
That's like 20 billion dreams a year.
One of those has got to be about me.


Laundry is the only thing that should be separated by color.


Your fears are not walls, but hurdles.
Courage is not the absence of fear,
but the conquering of it.


A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg
even though she knows that you are slightly cracked.

He was my best friend. I would always love him, and it would never, ever be enough.


You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of.
You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

Some pursue happiness – others create it.

Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they
never found it, but because they didn’t stop to enjoy it.


A good friend is a connection to life - a tie to the past, a road to the
future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world.


Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same.

There are big ships and small ships. But the best ship of all is friendship.

www.instantsfun.es/

the butterflies never seem to accompany the right people. You know? The nice guys who are right for you, they never make your stomach queasy.

Because that's what you do when you're in love, you fucking stick it out.

Life is funny. It's funny how the simplest things can knock us off our feet - the perfect gust of wind, driving down country roads with the windows down, seeing someone you love smile, being where you feel right, skinny dipping at midnight while the moon shines, letters from old friends...and yet, these simple things, remind us why we live.

There are moments in your life that make you and sets the course of who you're going to be. Sometimes they're little, subtle moments. Sometimes they're big moments you never saw coming. No one asks for their life to change, but it does. It's what you do afterward that counts. That's when you find out who you are.

the answer is to live your life to fullest and never to take this beautiful world for granted.

Urban Dictionary defines Photobomb thusly: "Any time the background of a picture hijacks the original focus." It can also be a verb, "to drop in a photo unexpectedly...to hop in a picture right before it is taken.

Cap-a-Pie From head to foot.

You know, the right guy won't change you. He won't subtly pressure you. He won't tell you who you can and can't talk to about the two of you. He won't hide the fact that you're hanging out. He's not gonna tell you you're wrong for feeling... for being a girl. The right guy will show you off to his friends. He'll take it as slow as you want. He'll only go as far as you're comfortable with. He'll take you out to places, even if it's just a fast food place or the store. He'll actually sit through your stupid girly Disney movies with you because he wants to watch them with you. The right guy will come along someday, you just gotta tough it out and wait for him. But whatever you do, don't settle. You deserve so much more.

The best type of miracle a friendship can make is being able to grow up without growing apart.

Worry less, smile more, accept criticism, accept responsibility, listen and love, don’t hate, embrace change, and feel good anyway.

Sometimes, no matter how much faith we have, we lose people. But we never forget them. And sometimes, it's those memories that give us the faith to go on.

It's like you get this picture in your head of the way things should be, and you end up closing yourself off to some of the wonder and serendipity of the actual experience.

I know they say the first love is the sweetest, but that first cut is the deepest. I tried to keep us together, you were busy keeping secrets. Secrets, you were telling everybody but me.

And in some way, I recognize that I will never be fully over you, and that part of me will always love you. But most of me understands that this doesn't work, and I need to move on to be happy.

Sometimes you just want to put others happiness before yours. Because you love them, because they deserve it. Sometimes you want to go out of your way for people just because you know its important that they get a chance to smile once in a while.

I never asked for it to be over. Then again, I never asked for it to begin. That's the way it is with life, some of the most beautiful days come completely by chance. But even the most beautiful days have their sunsets.

You're better then the best, I'm lucky just to linger in your life.

Baby you make the sun shine down, you can paint the darkest clouds, and turn them into rainbows. You take your secret smile, that one that turns me on. Hey girl, you've been what I'm waiting for.

Yes I do dream of all we had together, guess it's true we lost it all forever. Do I pray anyway? Yes I do. I don't live in the past, wanting love that wouldn't last. And I don't ache like I used to. But yes I do dream of all we had together.

The things about life that I've learned is that you're going to get hurt. You're going to have emotional nights & cry yourself to sleep for hours. You're going to suffer some kind of heartbreak, some kind of loss. But you will also have those moments where you heal. Those moments are the best. You feel like you smile for the first time again. You feel like you're alive again. Life just kind of restarts.

I'm the kind of girl you can hear from miles away, the kind that if you're sad, it's her job to make you happy. The kind of girl who keeps messing up & saying, "Oops, sorry." I trip over everything. I'm such a klutz & get so mad at the simplest things

You can't friend a dream, you can't download your first kiss, you can't tag happiness or post the feeling you get from helping a total stranger. The only thing you can hope to do in your short life is live your dreams. - The Buried Life

Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it. -Oprah Winfrey

"Shit happens but, I'm going to keep forgiving, if you ain't laughing, you just ain't living, look up into to the skies and try to realize, that there's more to life than what meets the eyes."

Love comes to those who still hope even though they've been disappointed, to those who still believe even though they've been betrayed, to those who still love even though they've been hurt before.

All we ever have is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can’t relive it, and we can hope for the future, but we don’t know if there is one.

I am incredibly awkward and positive. I get attached easily, and I hold on for too long. I like opening up to people. I express myself like a five year old child I'm probably one of the most difficult and stubborn people you will ever meet. But I can be sweet. I'm a great listener. I'll guard your secrets with my life. I will never judge you based on your mistakes, and i'll love you as much as I can. I can be, if you let me, one of the best things in your life.

It occurred to me then that a lot of life was either about wanting and not having , or having and not wanting.

To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget.

Because sometimes it’s easier to say, “I hate you,” than “I miss you, I wish we didn’t fight; I wish you would call me sometimes.” Because sometimes, it’s easier to think, screw life, screw work, screw everything, than admit that you’re overwhelmed and feel like you’re drowning. Because sometimes, it’s easier to admit the simple things than say the hard things and realize how much you’ve been struggling and how much you feel as if life has gone out of your control. things are just not meant to last forever. it might hurt to lose people, but maybe they just weren't supposed to stay. maybe the impact they have on your life is greater because they're gone. it gets tough, but life will give you a lot of people who are meant to stay, and even more who are not.

The only reason we hold back is because we think we have an endless amount of chances or that there will always be one more, but as time disappears into the past and life goes on, those chances will run out and you'll either live with eternal happiness for being brave, or eternal regret for holding back.

And I got so backwards, trying to make myself matter to him. All this time, there were real things to care about: real, good people who care about me and this place. It's so easy to get stuck. You just get caught up in being something, being special or cool or whatever, to the point where you don't even know why you need it; you just think you do.

Could it get any better?

I want people to feel an immediate happiness and cheerfulness when they are around me, to make a difference in someone’s life. I want to make an impression in someone’s life, so that even though I may be delicate and fragile, my footprints are permanent within the hearts of the ones I’ve touched

life is too short to be anything but happy.

5 Positive Thoughts:
1. Enjoy being alive. There's plenty of time to be dead.
2. Sometimes, nobody really cares if you are miserable, so you might as well be happy.
3. If you can't solve it, it's not a problem, it's reality.
4. Happiness is like perfume; you can't pour on others without getting few drops on yourself.
5. If all good things must come to an end, then don't worry. All bad things will eventually end too.

I guess the real fact of the matter is,
we don't know what tomorrow's going to bring.
And the only thing we really have is now. So, don't stay mad for too long.
Learn to forgive. Love with all your heart. Stay up all night. Have fun.
Live your life the way you want to live it.
Don't worry about people that don't like you. Enjoy the ones who do.
Have a crush. Kiss a boy.
Just live life the way you want & you'll be happy with & don't let anyone tell you you're doing it wrong.

i never thought I'd hear myself saying this,
but thank you. because if you hadn't of
come along, i never would have learned
that my worst day could also have been
my best. because when a heart breaks,
it also opens; and once a heart opens any
number of things can happen, and some of
them can be wonderful.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Live life through the windshield, not the rearview mirror.

I just wish I could tell you all the things I love about you. I love how dedicated you are and how no matter what's thrown at you, you don't give up. I love your smile. I love how no matter the amount of stupid things I do or say to you, you still want to be my friend. I love that you're not superficial and although you're pretty "popular" around school, you still hang around me. I love the close relationship you have with your sister and I love how happy you are when you get a new girlfriend. I love how well you treat her and I love how if I need you, I know I can count on you. I think these are all the reasons I love you so much. And these are also the reasons why I can't hate you or get over you.

Stop caring what other people think.
Wear what you want.
Say what you want.
Listen to the music you want to listen to. Play it loud and dance to it.
Go out for a drive at midnight and forget you have school the next day.
Stop waiting for Friday. Live now.
Do it now. Take risks.
Tell secrets. This life is yours.
When are you going to realize that you can do whatever you want?

i want to wear your sweatshirt to bed, watch scary movies with you, talk on the phone till sunrise, sneak out at night to look at the stars with you, play your favorite video game, make you watch chick flicks, kiss you in the rain, go on walks with you, laugh until i cant breathe, hold hands, build a fort and have a snowball fight. i want to fall hopelessly in love with you

I Never get tired of doing little things for others. Sometimes those little things occupy the biggest part of their hearts.

We are nothing with out our memories-David

It's not how you forget, but how you forgive. Not how you listen,
but how you understand. Not what you see, but how you feel.
It's not about how you let go, it's how you hold on.

I think we spend too much time wondering why we're not good enough.
we spend too much time over-analyzing, over-thinking, and overreacting.
we waste too much time putting ourselves down, so much that we don't
ever stop to see that well, we are good enough

We all have our time machines.
Some take us back, they're called memories.
Some take us forward, they're called dreams.


"There are four questions of value in life... What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love.”

Just when you`ve had enough, life gives you more.
Just when you think it`s rained enough, it starts to pour.

The best feeling in the world is finally knowing you took a step in the right direction, a step towards the future where everything that you never though was possible is possible.

Some women choose to follow men and some women choose to follow their dreams.If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore.
-- Lady Gaga

there are four questions of value in life.what is sacred? of what is the spirit made? what is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? the answer to each is the same. only love.
-johnny depp

I cried today not because I missed you, or even wanted you.
But just because I realized, I'm going to be okay without you.

when you want something, go for it.
time passes too fast for hesitation.

passion is knowing what you want,
and never stopping until you have it.

If you're brave enough to say goodbye, you might just be lucky enough to get a new hello.

the reason people find it so hard to be happy
is that they always see their past better than what it was.

there is something beautiful in everything. you just have to find it.

Cinderella's probaly the best Disney princess. She didn't have her perfect life handed to her on a freaking gold platter, no Cinderella fought like crazy to get what she deserved. Then, her life changed in that instant. Her fairy godmother arrived and got her read for a ball gown event. That's when Cinderella met her prince charming, unexpectedly in a surprising event. Love happens unexpectedly, to the people who deserve it the most.

But mostly I cried because my life had been going full speed for so long and now it had just stopped, like running right into a big brick wall. We are so busy watching out for what's in front of us that we don't take time to enjoy were we are sometimes

"The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you will see." -Winston Churchill

"Birds sing after a storm. Why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever sunlight remains to them?" -Rose Kennedy

"What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world, remains and is immortal." -Albert Pine

"In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present."
-Sir Francis Bacon

Sometimes we expect more from others because we would be willing to do that much for them.

Life is a matter of choice. You can be a
doctor who saves life, a lawyer who defends
life, a soldier who protects life. Or just be
yourself, a person who touched my life.

Our days would be happier if
we gave people a little bit of our
hearts rather than a piece of our minds.

The beautiful thing about memories is that they are yours;
whether they are good, bad, or indifferent. They belong to
you, and no matter where life takes you, your memories
tie you to where you've been, and to where you are now.

This is our purpose: to make as
meaningful as possible this life that
has been bestowed upon us; to live
in such a way that we may be proud
of ourselves; to act in such a way

You very rarely get everything you want in life.
But when you don't fight for it, you have even less of a chance.
So here I am. Fighting for you.

Gravity is the only thing that could pull you down, the rest is in your hands

The best boyfriend you'll have
isn't the best looking, the funniest,
or the richest. It's the one that
makes you feel gorgeous, hilarious,
and like a million dollars. He makes
sure you know he loves you.

So smile, laugh, forgive, believe, and love all over again.

i am the luckiest girl, to call you mine.
you still give me that "school girl-kind-of-love" feeling,
where i daydream about you with butterflies in my stomach.
you are absolutely amazing in every possible way.
without you, i am not me at all.
but with you, i am everything and more than i expected.
the sound of your voice puts a smile on my face
and the thought of you puts a sparkle in my eyes.
you are my best friend who i trust with everything
and know that i can confide in you like no other.
baby, you truly are my other half.
i know without any sort of doubt that you love me
just as much as i love you,
that you care for me more than the world
and would do anything for me that you had too.
i know that you and i were made to be together,
to keep each other going, to love each other more than life itself,
and to grow old together in rocking chairs,
on the front porch with a old dog infront of us
and glass of sweet tea.
you are my rock, who i depend on for everything
in every aspect of life.
thank you for everything you do for me.
i love you unconditionally and will
for the rest of my life ♥

Smile. It makes a world of difference. Dance. Who knows when you won't be able to. Cry. Holding those emotions in is bad for you. Kiss. Kisses are the most wonderful things in the world. Laugh. Whats the point in hiding happiness ? Frown. Why not let him know you're unhappy ? Apologize. You don't wanna lose friends. Hug. Theres no better feeling being wrapped up close to someone you love. Live, because life is everything

believe being alone means you're free. that old lovers miss you and
new lovers want you and the one you're with is the one you're meant
to be with. that everything you want to happen, will happen. if you
decide you want it enough. that every time you think a sad thought,
you can think a happy one instead.

Next time you're stressed, take a step back, inhale & laugh. Remember who you are & why you are here. You're never given anything in this world that you cannot handle. Be strong, be flexible, love yourself & love others. Always remember, just keep moving forward.

If you find someone who can make you feel like the best goddamn thing on the planet just by calling you beautiful, don't let go of them. They're rare to find nowadays.

Life doesn't come with a handbook or road map, you have to figure out the rules, rights and responsibilities; you have to remember which routes are right, and which are wrong. But most importantly you don't necessarily have to know where you're going, but you should always remember where you've come from.

Throw away your problems and smile because honestly, this is the only life you've got and your problems won't matter when you're dead.

Pain throws your heart to the ground. Love turns the whole thing around. Fear is a friend who's missunderstood. But I know the heart of life is good

Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time

Quickly I'm learning to love again
All that I know is I'mma be ok


I think the thing to do is enjoy the ride while you're on it.
It's that wonderful old-fashioned idea that others come first and you come second. This was the whole ethic by which I was brought up. Others matter more than you do, so 'don't fuss, dear; get on with it.'
Audrey Hepburn

Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.
Audrey Hepburn

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

"There is no formula for success except perhaps an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings."

men are like a deck of cards.
you'll find the occasional king, but most are jacks.

something tells me we'll see
each other in the future.
we may be apart for now,
but soon you'll see
I'll be staring at you, and
you'll be staring at me.

So my feelings for you might have gone away, but that doesn’t mean I don't still think about you everyday.

I still manage to find it unbelievable, me and you. I left it all behind, all in the past. But that doesn't mean the memories don't catch up to me. I'm still finding it hard to believe, because every time I look back, I realize I don't even know who that is anymore. It's like you can't tell whether or not the past between you two is reality or your imagination.

Sometimes letting go is a way of saying I love you

The times I spent with you, were the happiest times of my life. We were perfect, you and I. Now we aren't, but those memories will be locked in my heart forever and always.

You want to see pretty? Look in a magazine. You want to see beautiful? Look in a mirror.

I love you, I really do. Not because you're gorgeous, or funny, or prince charming, or perfect, or whatever all those other girls imagine. I love you because you get me, you know me and you somehow still manage to be around me. You've never left me and you make me feel like I'm the only person in the world.

love love. I love being in love. I don't care what it does to me.

We only have 86,400 seconds in a day to turn it all around or throw it all away. We have to tell them that we love them while we got the chance to say it. We have to live like we’re dying. We never know a good thing until it’s gone. You never see a crash until it’s head on. All those people are right when we’re dead wrong, you never know a good thing until it’s gone.-kris Allen

if you're going to go through hell, i
suggest you come back learning something.

"And I learned what is obvious to a child. That life is simply a collection of little lives, each lived one day at a time. That each day should be spent finding beauty in flowers and poetry and talking to animals. That a day spent with dreaming and sunsets and refreshing breezes cannot be bettered. But most of all, I learned that life is about sitting on benches next to ancient creeks with my hand on her knee and sometimes, on good days, for falling in love."

"In time, the hurt began to fade and it was easier to just let it go. At least I thought it was. But in every boy I met in the next few years, I found myself looking for you, and when the feelings got too strong, I'd write you another letter. But I never sent them for fear of what I might find. By then, you'd gone on with your life and I didn't want to think about you loving someone else. I wanted to remember us like we were that summer. I didn't ever want to lose that."
— Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook)

After the funeral, my grandfather hugged me. And I’ll never forget what he said. He told me that he had just lost the love of his life, the most important thing in the world to him, and that it hurt like hell. He said he probably wouldn't ever be the same. But then he looked me straight in the eyes; he said that his time with her was something he would never trade, that it was the only thing worth living for. He told me to find that. He told me that once I had that, nothing else would be as important. And he said once I found it, to cherish it and never let it go.

Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.

When you find yourself lost in darkness and despair, remember, it's only in the black of night that you see the stars.

No one is afraid of heights, they are afraid to fall.
No one is afraid to play, they are afraid to lose,
no one is afraid of the dark, they are afraid of whats in it,
no one is afraid to say I love you, they are afraid of the response.

Just remember, every girl before me was a mistake, and every girl after me will be a downgrade.

she's getting stronger, you know, since you didn't push her away. no, you threw her away. she's learned. you aren't the only thing she talks about anymore, she laughs a little more, and i can see that glow inside her begin to flicker again. she's picking herself up and she's getting stronger and immune to you everyday.
