Learn from your past, move on, grow stronger.
People are fake, but let your trust last longer.
Do what you got to do, but always stay true,
and never let anyone get the best of you.

You have to laugh,
love, and live everyday like it's your last

I want to meet good people with good in intentions, the open-minded,
the optimistic, the people that make an effort.

When you bring peace to the past,
you can move forward to the future.

Be careful not to confuse coincidence with fate.

I never understood the whole "opposites attract" phrase.
If two people are different and have different interests, why would
they get along so well? But then I thought about it. "I love you for
everything I'm not." So, basically, two opposite people come
together to fill in the missing parts of themselves.

Friends are like walls. Sometimes you lean on then, and sometimes
it's good just knowing they're there.


As I look back on all that's happened...growing up, growing together, changing you, changing me there were times when we dreamed together, when we laughed and cried together. As I look back on those days, I realize how much I'll truly miss you and how much I truly love you. The past may be gone forever...and what the future holds, our today’s make the memories of tomorrow. So, my lifetime friend, it is with all my heart that I send you my love, hoping that you'll always carry my smile with you, for all we have meant to each other and for what the future may hold.



I like not being a double zero in jeans unnaturally; Skeletons just aren't my thing.
So if I jiggle a bit, confidence will give me all the happiness I need.
It's okay if I'm not the hottest girl around, as long as I have decent personality,
I'll be fine. I've lived, I've laughed, I've loved. Maybe not in the ways people would appreciate, but it's been more than enough for me.

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.


I have been told that I have an amazing sense of humor.
I love this because I find it easy to have a laugh and joke with people,
I don't like to take things too seriously and believe that everyone should laugh as much as they can.
I love the fact that I can regularly make people laugh, when I see my friends laughing and know
it's because of me it makes me feel good that I could make their day enjoyable for a few
moments despite anything else going on in their lives.

I got everything I need right here with me. I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you... to make each day count.

I did not know i was on a search for passionate aliveness. I only knew i was lonely and lost and that something was drawing me deeper beneath the surface of my life in search of meaning. There is a hunger in people to go to those deep depths; to know that our lives are sacred; that our hearts are truly capable of love. It is a yearning to be all that we can be. A longing for what is real.

The moon passes into and out of its phases, flowers bloom in spring and stars fall from the skies. Life simply goes on.
