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.

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
