You were my lesson I had to learn. I was your fortress you had to burn.

At the time my life just seemed too complete, and maybe we have to break everything to make something better out of ourselves. –Fight Club

Don't lose yourself in attempt to hold on to someone who doesn't care about losing you.

So good that I'm so bad. I guarantee I'd be the greatest thing that you ever had.

Life is your professor, know that bitch is gonna test you.

Have faith in yourself and in the future. The best will come, eventually.

You’re gonna realize you miss this.

Don’t waste your time on people who aren’t kind to you. In the long run, karma will always come into play and if you just take the high road, you’ll be fine.

It’s time to love who you are and look forward to who you’re going to be.

Love is rare, life is strange. Nothing lasts, people change.

I wish I could understand how you don’t care, how you could get to know someone as well as you know me, think they’re beautiful, tell them everything, get along with them fine and still never love them.

When you smiled you had my undivided attention.
When you laughed you had my urge to laugh with you.
When you cried you had my urge to hold you.
When you said you loved me, you had my heart forever

The other boys just won't do, because boy - all I want is you.
You light up my eyes; you're the star in my sky. We're the perfect two & I know it's true.
Because when I think of love, I think of you.

There's always something left, if two people really loved each other.

Love without trust is like a car without an engine.You can try to push, but it won’t get you far.

Smile it is the key that fits the lock of everybody's heart.

War is like love, it always finds a way.

Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well.

RISK more than others think is safe.
CARE more than others think is wise.
DREAM more than others think is practical.
EXPECT more than others think is possible.

Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.

Sure, there's plenty of fish in the sea. But there's also sharks, seaweed, and toxic waste.

A teenager once asked an old man, "in a relationship, which is more important: to be loved or to love?"
Then he replied, "which is more important to a bird? The left wing or the right?"

Don't repeat chapters,
the ending of the story will never change.

The truth of the matter is, people are always going to
stay in our hearts, whether or not they are in our lives.

Do you remember what it was like before? It's been months, and everyday I remember something new.
It's like little pieces of wood floating to the surface, only hinting at the shipwreck beneath.

Nothing is more memorable than a smell. One scent can be unexpected, momentary and fleeting, yet conjure up a child-hood summer beside a lake in the mountains; another, a moon-lit beach; a third, a family dinner of pot roast and sweet potatoes during a myrtle-mad august in a mid-western town. Smells denote softly in our memory like poignant land mines hidden under the weedy mass of years. They hit a tripwire of smell and memories explode all at once. A complex vision leaps out of the undergrowth.

2. What they say, life goes on, is mostly true. The mail is delivered, and the christmas lights go up and down from the houses, and the ladders get put away, and you open yet another box of cereal. In time, the volume of my feelings would be turned down in gentle increments to near quiet, and yet the record would still spin, always spin.

"A person can learn a lot from a dog, even a loopy one like ours. Marley taught me about living each day with unbridled exuberance and joy, about seizing the moment and following your heart. He taught me to appreciate the simple things-a walk in the woods, a fresh snowfall, a nap in a shaft of winter sunlight. And as he grew old and achy, he taught me about optimism in the face of adversity. Mostly, he taught me about friendship and selflessness and, above all else, unwavering loyalty." - Marley and Me by John Grogan

Sometimes we don't ever move on...it's kind of like if someone was to dig a huge hole in the street, the first few times you would forget it's there and fall into it and get injured. But, as time goes on you rememer that it's there and you start reminding yourself to walk around it.

That's why I don't do drugs or drink. I want everything I say or write to come from the heart, not a pill or a pipe.

Maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there’s a tomorrow. Maybe for you there’s one thousand tomorrows, or three thousand, or ten, so much time you can bathe in it, roll around it, let it slide like coins through you fingers. So much time you can waste it. But for some of us there’s only today. And the truth is, you never really know.

"The only calibration that counts is how much heart people invest, how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated. And the only thing people regret is that they didn’t live boldly enough, that they didn’t invest enough heart, didn’t love enough."
