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.

"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.
