[one] you're not my type but i think i like that
idea because my type usually breaks my heart

[two] Wake up. Get out of bed and stop hiding under the duvet, no matter how warm it is. You will get nothing accomplished. Put some clothes on. Wear red tights with the mustard yellow shoes. Arrange the 3 day old curls in your hair. Do something nice for yourself today. Be pretty for absolutely no reason other than to prove to yourself that you're not worthless and sloven. Buy yourself your favorite burrito, and make sure you get extra guacamole. Drive past Emily Dickenson's house and imagine the lack of life she had. Spend the extra money on your favorite art magazine and plan a trip to Sweden in your head. Sing your favorite songs in your car. Make a pit stop to the reservoir. Collect the last leaves from autumn. Watch the sun sink into the horizon. Don't stare at your phone and wait for it to vibrate. Don't mope. Don't think about the only men in your life that have belittled you this week. Don't sit. Don't wait. Don't look at the time that you've always set to three hours behind. Don't delay your life even though someone has attempted to delay yours.

[three] "well that's what we do, we fight... you tell me when I am being an arrogant son of a bitch and i tell you when you are a pain in the ass; which you are, 99% of the time. i'm not afraid to hurt your feelings. you have like a 2 second rebound rate, then you're back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing."
-the notebook.

[four] when you know things are ending, you tell them everything you possibly can. praying it will change their mind, but knowing it never will

[five] i wanna hold hands and waste friday nights with you.

[six] Celebrate the challenges as much as the joys, the loss as much as the gain, they are all part of the same dance

[seven] And now we're standing face to face, isn't this world a crazy place?
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

[eight] 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.

[nine] impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given, than to explore the power they have to change it. impossible is not a fact. it's an opinion. impossible is not a declaration. it's a dare. impossible is potential. impossible is temporary. impossible is nothing.

[ten] Every bad situation will have something positive. Even a dead clock shows the correct time twice a day.

[eleven] Here's a big fuck you to the calls I waited for. The dates I hoped for, the love I wanted, the tears I cried, and the heart you broke. Asshole.

[twelve] at the age of five, the boy and girl played in a little grass maze. the little boy ran off, the girl yelled, "you lost me!" in eighth grade, the boy and girl were in the same math class. the girl didn't understand how to do one of the problems. so she asked the boy to help. he started to explain. once he was done, she said, "you totally lost me." they laughed and he tried to explain again. in tenth grade, the boy asked her to be his girlfriend, and after six months of them going out, the girl found out the boy was cheating on her. when the boy called her to apologize, she picked up, "i never want to talk to you again. you've completely lost me." by graduation, the girl became very sick. she wasn't at the celebration, so he decided to go visit her. when he got there, he asked how she was doing. the doctor said she wasn't doing well. he rushed to her room. right as he walked in, the monitor started beeping, she stopped breathing, and she died. the boy fell to the ground and started to cry, "i lost her for good this time."

[thirteen] i wonder when i pass by, does his stomach do a flip? does he get nervous? does he ignore his friends, just to look at me? does he wait to see me smile? does he get sweaty palms? does he think to himself, "oh, gosh; here she comes."

[fourteen] You read "sorry, try again" off the inside of a bottle cap; story of your life. You never come first, you're never the winner, you're never the best. There's always someone better. Maybe next time; you did your best. At least you tried. All these things are supposed to make you feel better, but it just reminds you that no matter how hard you try, how you gave it your all, you failed. You'll never be good enough.

[fifteen] you forgot that kisses mean something
and second glances come
more often than second chances
and forgiveness is far from surfacing here
cause love is not a game we play.

[sixteen] if it doesn't kill you, it will shape you. if it doesn't break you, it will make you

[seventeen] it`s that tragic story of a shallow boy,
with the girl who sees way too much in him,
the story of the boy who turned her down
because she just wasn't pretty enough, and
the world spits in her face telling her she`s not
good enough day after day, and everyday she
paints on a smile and pretends she`s fine...
it`s the story of my life.

[eighteen] Her heart finally realized what her mind knew all along; He's not worth it.

[nineteen] "At times the world may seem an unfriendly and sinister place, but believe that there is much more good in it than bad. All you have to do is look hard enough. and what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events may in fact be the first steps of a journey.``
— Lemony Snicket

[twenty] It was him not fighting for me. I gave him the ultimatum and he let me walk away. I didn't want a life seperate from him, and that's all he could give me. It's like he's driving a car and I just want to be in the passenger seat. He's locked the door and I have to hold onto the bumper. I am not even asking him to open the door for me, just leave it unlocked and say come in, but he didn't do that. So I am hanging onto the bumper and life goes on. And the car goes on and I get really badly bruised and I'm hitting potholes and it hurts, it really hurts. So yesterday I had to let go of the bumper because it hurts too much.

[twentyone] Don't worry about what you heard about me. I might have done a little dirt and left a few of them hurt, but whatever has occured, they all got what they deserved.

[twentytwo] I had a boyfriend who told me I'd never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, & that he hoped I'd fail. I said to him, "Someday, when we're not together, you won't be able to order a cup of coffee at the fucking deli without hearing or seeing me.
( Lady Gaga in Cosmo Magazine )

[twentythree] I'm not going to spend my life chasing people. You wanna leave? Fine then, go ahead.
Cause I'm done with chasing and caring for people who never had interest in me.
Nothing lasts and people change. I've learned love is hard and life is strange

[twentyfour] Well, I know it's over but I still have feelings. I still get a prickly sensation that runs up my spine when I see you. You just try not to look at me, you try not to see the pain that is written all over my face. Instead, you laugh and have a good time. I don't know how, I can't read your face. I don't know what you're feeling and honestly that bothers me more than anything, but I keep going and for some reason you won't let me fall out of love with you. It scares me because I don't want to be in love with you, but I guess I am. I am very much so in love with you. One of those that you can't fall out of love. It's pretty lame, I know. I just want to know what you do behind my back, when I don't see you. You're probaly with her, you forgot about me already - but I guess that okay, I'm better off without you.

[twentyfive] Hell, I am young. I am free. My teeth are clean. The sun shines. To hell with everything else. -Stephen Fry

[twentysix] "Harry Potter is all about confronting fears, finding inner strength and doing what is right in the face of adversity… Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend."
-Andrew Futral

[twentyseven] Prove to me you're not average and we will be on the same page. The only difference I see in guys is that they all have different names.

[twentyeight] She's as pretty as a picture, every bit as funny as she is smart; Got a smile that'll hold you together & a touch that'll tear you apart; When she's yours she brings the sunshine, when she's gone the world goes dark; Yeah, she's heaven on the eyes but boy she's hell on the heart."

[twentynine] We have voices and stories and plans and dreams and ideas.
We have hope.
We will wake up tomorrow to a day that has never been known.
We are living a life that has never been lived.
We are here for a reason.
We exist to love and be loved.
Life comes back.
Things do change.
Storms do pass.

[thrity] sometimes we have to wait;
other times we have to move on

[forty] i'm so sick of the hook ups, the set-ups, the fuck-ups, the guy who only wants one thing, the guy who doesn't know what he wants, the guy who does; but won't admit it. i just want the real thing, and i want it to stick. i don't want these doubts, these worries. i want a guy who won't always be so unsure of me, of us. it's like, they need time to decide. it's as if they're looking for something in particular and later on they realize they were looking for you.

[forty-one] too bad for you. when you had me you didn't know what to do. games over; you lose

[forty-two] fairytales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten

[forty-three] There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails & told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 87 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it & the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed & the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand & led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man & draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say "I'm sorry", the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one

[forty-four] I thought algebra was hard to get, but then I met you.

[forty-five] I wish people would just say what they feel.
Because who cares about fucking signals.

[forty-six] it's like we're more than just friends but still less than lovers. you're oh so tough, but i want to be your first weakness. here we go again with the mixed signals and second thoughts.

[forty-seven] we spent most of our time talking about nothing, but i just want to let you know that all those nothings have meant so much more to me than so many other somethings. and it's the nothing that i miss the most, which must make the nothing truly something

[forty-eight] there are three types of friends; those like food, without which you can't live. those like medicine, which you need occasionally. and those like an illness, which you never want.

[forty-nine] "i need a reason to beleive. to beleive that there's such a thing as "soul mates" and not all guys just want hookups. and that not ALL guys are bad, and not all guys are going to make me feel like i was never good enough in the end. because the only difference i see between guys is their names"

[fifty] sometimes i wonder if you ever think of us. and what happened between us. or, really, what never happened between us.

[one] It's hard to find the good in someone when you've already found the best in someone else.

[two] an inspiring fact to bear in mind::
mathematics may not teach us
to inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide
or to love a friend and forgive an enemy
but it gives us every reason to hope that
every problem has a solution

[three] You know people often have a favorite song of the
moment or the song of the week? They like one song
& listen to it all the time till they get bored & tired
of it, or if they hear a better song with a better beat. Well,  I don't want to be one of those 'favorite songs of the  moment'. I want to be the lyrics stuck in your head & the first time you heard it, the words & melody
struck you like lightning. I want to be the song in your
head & forever in your heart.

[four] you tell me you miss me. sometimes you have to walk for hours to clear your head of my memory. i tell you i still wish on the first star like you taught me. you tell me you think its cute, but at the end of the night, you still tell her she's the one.

[five] So lets lie in the grass & stare at the stars, live
in the moment & try to figure out who we are.

[six] There's a difference between goodbye & letting
go. Goodbye is "I'll see you again when I'm ready
to hold your hand, & when you're ready to hold
mine." Letting go is "I'll miss your hand. I realized
it's not mine to hold, & I will never hold it again."

[seven] I'm not into the idea of living life, without you.

[eight] Lets unwrite these pages &
replace them with our own words;
If love is a labor, I'll slave til the end.
- Rise Against

[nine] I predict our love will last, because
we've made it through one hell of a past.

[ten] We fell in love with the windows rolled down
chasing the sunset through another empty town.

[eleven] I guess what scares me the most is knowing
that at any moment, you could rip my heart
out of my chest, tear it in pieces, throw it
on the ground, then stomp all over it.. &
I'd just pick it up, & hand it back to you.

[twelve] Time waits for no one, but love waits forever.

[thirteen] It's just like me to overanalyze your every word.
Thinking that maybe for a second, it meant something.

[fourteen] Probably never shoulda even opened my mouth.
And I had no right to say what anything meant to you.
We all know sometimes I speak too quickly,
been known for choosing all the wrong words.
Seems I wasn't very careful when traveling back in time.
Remembering how I'd wished we coulda
burned a little bit brighter the second time around.

[fifteen] Do you know what it's like to reach
for the phone and then have to pull your
hand back because you remember you can't call anymore?
You sit back with tears building up in your eyes 
because you know it's not the last time
you'll miss the conversations you shared.

[sixteen] sometimes i sit. i sit and wait. wait for an excuse to talk to you.

[seventeen] hate is easy, love takes courage

[eighteen] i can't stay sober if it's over </3

[nineteen] I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.
( Jimmy Dean )

[twenty] If I can't remember the words, could you be my tongue for these few seconds & spit them out for me? See, I've crossed the line & I've done what I told myself I'd never. We've become everything we once hated. Feeling special, actually listening to my conscience when it confronts me. I told myself I wouldn't waste my time holding my breath for what may potentially be a lost cause. Leave me stranded, branded stupid & all too often a sucker for the teenage delusion called true love. But you changed me. You are the risk that I'm taking.
( Car Crash Love ; Ambry )

[twentyone] I'm starting to learn you can't make someone love you. You can't make someone be faithful to you. You can't control your own fate & sometimes things happen... some good, some bad, some indifferent. You just have to let some things go, close your eyes, & hope they turn out for the best.

[twentytwo] Every now & then, you wake up to a day that affects your whole life. The day in your life when you know you'll never be the same, the day that changes the way you think about everything & everyone.

[twentythree] I've been doing fine without you, really, up until the nights got cold. & everybody's here, except you, seems like everyone's got someone to hold. But for me it's just a lonely time 'cause there were Christmases when you were mine.
( Christmases When You Were Mine ; Taylor Swift )

[twentyfour] i know your thinkin' i make it hard to be faithful

[twentyfive] today, i told you, everything. how i can't get over you, i can't move on, and you said you can't either. but when i asked why we aren't together, you said because you love her now. i don't understand how that works, loving someone when you still have feelings for someone else. but that killed it. although hearing you love her now wasn't what i wanted to hear, its what i needed to hear. i think i'm finally getting over you.

[twentysix] You can see the cruelest part of the world, and see the most beautiful part. You can go from one extreme to the next, but you can’t have one without the other. The cruel part...it’s damn cruel. But the heaven...it’s heaven. And I’ve been to both places.?
--Britney Spears

[twentyseven] Have some faith, not everyone you love is gonna leave you.

[twentyeight] i never thought this day would come. it took 15 months, a lot of chocolate, many sleepless nights, and losing a lot of friends to realize, your not worth it. i was fighting for you so hard. i was waiting for the day you would fight for me. you were one of the only things i beleived in. i always knew you would come. somewhere in waiting for you and wishing for you, i began to lose myself. i missed her. she was a great girl. pretty too, one of the prettiest girls to ever give you a second look. and now she's back, and your crazy to think you have a chance, because she was there once. but baby, i'm gone. [heart_breaker_dreamtaker]

[twentynine] once you get over being hurt, being mad, and then missing what you had a forgetting how bad it actually was, you'll realize, if he wanted you, he would be with you.

[thirty] Loving someone who can't love you back is like in a comatose. Comfortably lying but unconsciously bleeding and safely sleeping but silently hurting.

[thrityone] & the tears on my face they stand for something l'm not just emotional l'm not just depressed. No, these tears running down my face. They are the last && final straw. l know l can do better than you. && your about to find out how bad that hurts.

[thirtytwo] One day, you will wake up. You will be able to get dressed, eat breakfast, brush your teeth, take a shower, go to school, eat lunch, go to class, and come home. And you'll be able to do all of that without thinking about him.

[thirtythree] I'm banged up. mentally and emotionally.Liiterally and metaphorically. But every day l walk outside with a smile on my face because that's who l am.

[thirtyfour] Imagine a future moment in your life where all your dreams come true. You know, it's the greatest moment of your life and you get to experience it with one person. Who's standing next to you?

[thirtyfive] Tell me it doesn't mean anything; and I'll drive away right now. And when we pass each other in the halls, we can pretend we don't even know each other.

[thirtysix] I think it was me it must have been me I guess I did something wrong I tried too hard wanted too much I guess that's why it's gone I lost my pride, I falled and cried I felt like a little kid What's wrong with me? Still can't believe I did the things I did.

[thirtyseven] Welcome to my world where everyone I ever need always ends up leaving me alone

[thirtyeight] Yeah, but that's just it. I mean, 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.

[thirtynine] ever wonder how it would be if you died?
like what people would say at you funeral? maybe that guy you like would say how beautiful you were. or those mean girls would regret all those things. or that boy would regret missing his chance and breaking you heart. maybe people would cry. maybe people would cheer. it'd be nice to know.

[forty] Put that music up a little louder on my iPod,
My ears are hurting yet I don't care.
All I can think about is that tune,
And I am not thinking about you.

[fortyone] i want a guy who is right there with me
as i walk home in the rain
who`ll look at me with my dripping wet hair
& soaked clothes and kiss me
and say "i`ve never loved you more."

[fortytwo] according to my friends, I'm the strongest
person they know. if only they knew
what happens behind closed doors.

[fortythree] You've changed so much. I guess that's what happens. I wish you knew how much you've changed me. I wonder if I've changed you, if your life is different because of me.. because mine's different. My God, you taught me so much, and now we don't even talk to each other. I guess that's what happens.

[fortyfour] psychological fact: when a person cries and
the first drop of tears comes
from the right eye, it’s happiness. but
when the first roll is from the left, it’s pain.

[fortyfive] i don't know what's wrong with me. i don't want flowers, & i don't want him to slowly brush the strands of hair off my face, as we watch the sun set over the ocean. i want crazy make-out sessions behind bookshelves, as we try not to get caught. i want thumb wars, i want brutal, undisguised honesty when we scream at each other in the middle of the hallways. i want to hang out with him for the sole purpose of prank calling pizza places. and i don't want him to say he loves me, i just want something believable. is it true that blissful perfection never lasts, or am i just not wanting the romance inside the love? 

[fortysix] She's a girl.
A sixteen-year-old beauty on the brink of freedom.
A rebellious child with everything to lose.
Just another confused youth who thinks she's special,
because she listens to bands whose names have
more words than some sentences. She pretends
not to care, and most of the time, she gets away
with it. But the truth is, no one could care more
than she does. She pretends to hate herself
more than she really does. And she's scared
to remember the past, but even more scared to forget it.

[fortyseven] it's because of you. and she's
gonna break up with the next
guy because of you. and the guy
after that. she's gonna keep doing
it because for some reason, you're
the one she's supposed to be with.

[fortyeight] It was that she truly believed you could be fourteen when you learned how love could change the speed your blood ran through you, how it made you dream in kaleidoscope color. It was that she knew she couldn't have loved him this hard, if he hadn't loved her that way, too.

[fortynine] Don't worry babe, you will see me again.
You'll see me with a guy who treats me right.
One that knows how to love me.
You'll see all you could have had. & you'll regret.
Regret like hell.
Regret letting me go.
But the thing I want you to see the most?
You'll see; I survived without you.

[fifty] you see her smiling and
laughing in the hallway;
you'd never know she cried
herself to sleep last night.

The hurt began to fade and it was easier to just let 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, in 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 want to ever forget that
-Nicholas Sparks

know a boy before you believe one.
promises mean maybe, forever isn't
nearly as long as you think, and he
may say he's Mr. Right, but that
usually means Mr. Right now.

maybe i found comfort in the words you said,
not from laying in your arms. they were the words
i needed to hear, and it didn’t matter who from.
it wasn’t puppy love or infatuation or love at first
sight or anything that people always talk & laugh about
maybe you don’t know just what I mean.
i can’t really explain it. it’s so hard to put into words.
but, well, maybe it was just something i’d never felt before,
something i’d never even known.
people can’t just tell you about things like that.
you have to find them out for yourself.
that’s why it is so important.
it was something i’ll always remember

when i look at you, i know im happy,
when im in your arms, i know im safe,
and when you say i love you, i feel my heart race
that is how you know i love you

every man is afraid of something.
that's how you know he's in love with you;
when he is afraid of losing you.

for once in my life, i don't have to try to be happy,
when i'm around you it just kind of happens

when life gives me hundreds of reasons to cry,
you give me thousands of reasons to smile.

i just want to be the kind of girlfriend you can
tell your friends about and be proud of

without you, tomorrow wouldn't be worth the wait
and yesterday wouldn't be worth remembering.

love is when you miss him even before
he is gone, when you could listen to him
all night and not get tired of his voice, when
the sound of his name sends chills down your spine,
and when you see his smile the second you close your eyes

Somewhere there is someone who dreams of
your smile,and finds in your presence that
life is worth while.So when you are lonely,
remember it's true, somebody,somewhere is
thinking of you

Crying doesn't indicate that you're weak.
Since birth, it has always been a sign that
you're alive.

Everyone has a weakness, but I have two;
everything you say and everything you do.

90 people get the swine flu
and everybody wants to wear a mask.
A million people have AIDS
and no one wants to wear a condom.
[interesting isn't it?]

"When the power of love overcomes
the love of power,
the world will know peace."
-Jimi Hendrix

Is anybody satisfied with who they really are?
You could be the moon and still
be jealous of the stars.
You've got to learn to swim
if you can't walk upon the sea.
So I'm learning to live with me.

A guy out there is meant to be the
love of your life,
your best friend,
your soul mate,
your sweet heart
the one you can tell your dreams to.
He'll smile at you,
but he'll never laugh at your heart or your dreams.
He'll support you in all of your dreams.
He'll brush the hair out of your eyes.
He'll stare at you during the movies
even though he paid $7 to see it.
He'll call to say goodnight
just because he is thinking of you.
He'll look in your eyes and tell you,
you're the most beautiful girl in the world
and for the first time in your life,
you'll actually believe it.

With every moment we share,
every smile,
every touch,
I become more certain that in you,
I've found something I've looked for a very long time.
I don't know what the future holds,
but I do know how much your love excites me and how happy
I feel when I'm with you.
And, from this day forward,
that's more than enough

there comes a point where you miss someone
so much that you can hear their voice echo
in your head. and you can hear the names
that they used to call you, the words they
used to tell you. you memorized their laugh,
their smile, and their silly ways. you can
also feel their arms around you and
you don't want to let go even though you
know it's just an illusion. every time your
phone rings, you smile because it's them
that's calling. every time you hear their name,
your heart beats 100 times faster and
sometimes, you can't even breathe.
you knew that looking back on the tears
would make you laugh, but you never knew
that looking back on the laughs would also
make you cry. all you want is to go back in
time. not to the time that you first met, to
the time that you were known as nothing,
but strangers. but no matter what, you're
in denial.you hide your feeling so no one
would know. you put on a fake smile and
don't let a single tear break through.
you're so used to hiding your feelings that
you don't even realize the pain you're
causing for yourself. your thoughts become
invisible. it's still there, but no one knows.
like a love letter you did

their plan had been very simple:
to stay together for the rest of their lives.
a plan that anyone within their circle would
agree was accomplishable.
they were best friends,
lovers, and soul mates,
destined to be together,
everyone thought.
but as it happened,
one day destiny greedily changed its mind.
- p.s. i love you

no one will ever understand the way he makes
me feel when he smiles that smile at me
or the way my heart feels when he kisses me
or how it makes my whole day when he calls me
just to say he loves me or how i feel butterflies
every time my phone rings because i know it him.

i love the fact that you see something in me
that no one else has ever seen you see a heart
of gold a smart bright girl and a girl who in
her weak moments will still try to make you
laugh a girl who hates to fight but is so
good at it and most of all you see your best friend

Out of all the things I could do with you,
I look forward to sleeping with you the
most. Not having sex, just sleeping
in the same bed, you holding me in your
arms, and me falling asleep on your chest
and waking up with you right next to me.
That's what I want. That's what I look
forward to.

Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, hey girl, magenta! and she's like, oh, you mean purple! and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, no - I want magenta!
-John Mayer

Take everything you need.
Take my heart if you like the beat.
Take my lungs if it's hard to breathe.

I think catch and release fishermen are heartless weenies. I think putting a fish through agony for nothing more than your own entertainment is just plain cruel. I think if you're going to torture a living thing, if you're going to make it look into the eyes of its maker, face its own puny little place in the universe, then, for God's sake, have the decency to eat it!

I saw him staring at me.
Not glancing, but blatantly staring.
And i wondered if he was staring
at the wreckage he created
or if maybe, just maybe he regretted
ever hurting me in the first place.
 

Have some fire. Be unstoppable. Be a force of nature. Be better than anyone here, and don't give a damn what anyone thinks.

The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.”

I don't know what it is,
I just cry sometimes.
Maybe I'm just so oblivious to the things going on around me,
that I don't realize that I'm hurting as much as I am,
so when the tears stream down my face &
 I don't have anything to say
don't ask me why I'm crying, because I simply don't know,
just hold me, I just want to be held.

You know when you find that guy that knows just what to say to make you smile? He makes you feel safe & completely comfortable with being yourself. It`s okay to sound stupid every once in a while because it makes him laugh. You stay up all night playing Mario Cart & having thumb wars. You spend most of your time together goofing around & cuddling. & when you`re not together, you talk on the phone till 3:30 in the morning. It takes 10 minutes just to say goodbye because he won`t let you go & you don`t wanna leave. Yeah.. that`s what I call love

If there is a tomorrow when we are not together,
there is somethign you must always remember:
you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
but the most important thing is,
even if we're apart, I'll always be with you

Well I’m sorry I’m not who you thought I was,
but what’s happened is in the past, and all I can
do is try to change. If you can’t accept that, then
you’re not who I thought you were.
- (gossip girl)

Wherever you are- know I really love you.
Wherever you've been- know I've been there too.
Whatever you're doing; when you need a friend, call me,
I'll be there just to listen to you.

Now we have hands-free phones, so you can focus on
the thing you're really supposed to be doing.
Chances are, if you need both of your hands to do something,

laughter; when a Smile has an orgasm.

I think I’ve finally come to the point in my life where I’m happy with myself
 and know that I don’t have to change or be a certain way
 for people to like me anymore. I’m just fine
 and if someone doesn’t think I am, screw them.

I'm not a poet, I'm just fucked up in the head.
This isn't a song about love, it's about wanting you dead.

Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
For as long as you can.

It's crazy, but so what
I might never understand it
I'm caught up and I'm hanging on
I'm gonna love you, even if it's wrong.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about taking chances. and how it’s really just about overcoming your fears. Because the truth is, every time you take a big risk in your life, no matter how it ends up, you’re always glad you took it.
-Scrubs

Everytime that you hurt me,
Everytime I felt pain,
Every lie that you told me
Made me who I am today

Isn't it crazy how when you lose someone or miss
someone, every little thing you see or do reminds
you of them? A song, a picture, a smell, a word.
You have a head full of memories of being happy
with them, so when they walk out of your life, it's
the memory of them that keeps your love for them growing

Yesterday he ran up to her and
just waited for her to talk to him,
but she's done waiting. She's done
waiting for her chance to shine.
She's done it too many times.

There's a guy out there who's going to be
really happy that you didn't get back together
with your crappy ex-boyfriend

when were in love we do things we swear we
would never do and when its over we regret
everysingle minute of what we did.

dont feel stupid for missing him,
even if he treated you like shit.
you still had happy memories.
&& you're always going to miss them.
dont try to replace him cause you wont.
just get through each day &&
eventually it will get better.
i promise. eventually someone will
come into your life and whether or
not you realize it;; they are going to
be something special to you. so
dont throw yourself at every guy
you see, trying to replace him or
at least dull the memories. cause
you're only going to make yourself
see how hard he is to replace.
someone better will eventually come along

Don't get me wrong, you're still my favorite
person I look forward to everyday. But you
are smothering me without doing anything.
That's my problem: You. You are the reason
I can never look at a guy the way i wanna
look at you. You are the reason I will
probably never love the way i wanna love you.
You are the reason i can never want to be with
someone other than you.

Do it today; It could be illegal tomorrow.

You could move on, do the best you could. But an ending is an ending. No matter how many pages of sentences and paragraphs of great stories led up to it, it would always have the last word.

"And the bottom line is, what defines you isn't how many times you crash, but the number of times you get back on the bike. As long as it's one more, you're all good."

Still, more than ever this summer, I'd learned that it's not just where you go, but how you choose to get there

You couldn't just pick and choose at will when someone depended on you, or loved you. It wasn't like a light switch, easy to shut on or off. If you were in, you were in. Out, you were out. To me, it didn't seem complicated at all. In fact, it was the simplest thing in the world.

You will never forget your first love. That's what makes it so special. You love so hard, so deeply, and so intensely because you don't know any different. It's the best thing until it's over. Eventually you love again, but you love differntly. You will love more carefully and more cautiously, continually comparing that perosn to your first love

I believe that two people are connected at the heart. And it doesn't matter what you do, or who you are or where you live. There are no boundaries or barriers if two people are destined to be together.

It's like once you've been hurt, you're so scared to get attached again, like you have this fear that every person you start to like is going to break your heart.

There's always going to be that one person you always want to be with even after you find out that they don't want to be with you.

It happens to everyone as they grow up; you find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that the people you've known forever don't see things the way you do. And so you keep the memories but find yourself moving on.

at the end of the day, i realize that you're all I really want.
when all the confusion clears and I think about my life,
I can't think of anyone else I'd rather have next to me than you.

i wish i had a parachute, cause i`m falling bad
for you. and i can see the ground approaching
now, but i'm not sure what to do.

i'm the girl your ex will hate, your
mother will love, and the one you'll
want to be with forever

. Get dirty. Get fucking filthy. Get poor. Get off your ass. Get desperate.
Get dangerous. Get vilified. Get vile. Get pro-active. Get started. Get your own life.
Get doing something. Anything. Because before you know it you’re 40 with kids,
a mortgage, and responsibilities that cause your fun to come second. So before cancer,
before children, before 50 hour work weeks, before back and knee problems, before
school loans, before you lose your sense of humor… Fight. Fight and fuck and
run and smile. Smile because the older you get, the less you will. So yes, “quit
being such a goddamn pussy,” because bitching and
whining and worry never made anything better.

this summer is coming to a close&im starting to figure out i can not live with out you.
i hope your thinking of me because all the stars sing your name. please don't forget to call me, and let me know you're doing okay miles away from me.

You know you're in love when you forget about
that one person you thought you'd never get over

I dropped a tear in the ocean,
when they find it, I'll stop loving you.

You know you really love someone when you don't hate them for breaking your heart

The best feeling in the world is not falling in love. It's finally falling out of love with someone who never loved you

When I said I didn't want to see you anymore, why did you choose that particular statement to be the only one you ever listened to?

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

I like people who have a sense of individuality. I love expression & anything awkward & imperfect because that's natural & that's real.

You know how you're watching a movie, & you kind of already know how it's gonna end, but you watch it anyway, just because? Well, that's how it was with you. I knew it was only a matter of time, that it was gonna come out sooner or later. I knew how it was going to end, but I went on with it. I kept feeling the way I did because as selfish as it sounds, it made me happy. You made me happy. Now though, you're gone, & I have no one to turn to. Would I take it all back if I had the chance? Yes, I would. If I could do it all over again, I'd wish never to have met you at all because no matter how happy I was at the time, in the end all you left me with was pain.

They say "absense makes the heart grow fonder" but I think I like you more when you're here

You are what you make of yourself. I don't know abuot you, but I've got things to do with my life. I don't know where I'm headed, but I'd settle for anything. I don't know how I'd stop regretting, but I'll forget my mistakes. I don't know who to trust, but I know I'm protected. I don't know who I am yet, but I'll find out soon. Love has taken all of my energy, & I'm still confused. Life in general has been overwhelming, but I'm gonna make something of myself & the best part is, no one is going to stop me

I don't like ass kissers, flag wavers, or team players. I like people who buck the system. Individualists. I often warn people: "Somewhere along the way, someone is going to tell you 'There is no "I" in team' What you should say to them is 'Maybe not, but there is an "I" in independence, indiciduality, & integrity." Avoid teams at all costs. Keep your circle small. Never join a group that has a name. If they say, "we're the so-and-so's," take a walk. & if, someone, you must join, if it's unavoidable, such as a union or a trade association, go ahead & join. But don't participate; it will be your death. & if they tell you you're not a team player, congratulate them on being observant

This might be my last chance, so maybe I should take it. I just hope you're listening to everything I'm saying. I miss the long drives, the car rides, the bad fights, the good times. The way you make me feel will never leave my mind. Think of you later in my empty room where I will fall asleep alone.

Everyone's heartbroken nowadays, but i mean, we all just gotta move on. what's the point of
reminiscing when you know the person is no longer worthwhile ; when they're no longer who they used to be? when their heart is
somewhere else? do you think they still care for you , still sit there thinking about you? because frankly , they don`t.

you may have chemistry with her ,
but you have history with me.

I want somebody to sleep with me & just sleep. Someone to cuddle up with during a movie on a couch. Stay up all night talking about nothing. Get lost in the woods together. Challenge me, let me challenge him. Talk about dreams & make dreams. Have fights, the kind that only really matter because you're having them. Someone I can wrestle with, you know, play hard somethings & not worry about breaking a nail or an arm. A guy who will bring me flowers once in a while. 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.

She's the kinda girl that will call you on your bullshit .
She isn't afraid to dance and she offers to pay.
She doesn't decide before a date whether or not she's
gonna kiss you; She's not earnest , yet she's not
completely ironic either. She orders dessert
and she can be ready in ten minutes

Anyone can fly, all you have to do is throw yourself at the ground and miss.

if you could read my mind,
i wonder what you'd think of yourself

The weak can never forgive.
Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
Gandhi

She's only sixteen years old. she's not perfect, never has been, never will be.
she's emotional & she doesn't think about things before she says them.
she'll say some things that will make you want to strangle her.
she'll probably hurt you & make more mistakes than you can imagine.
she doesn't mean to, but she probably will. however, she'll apologize.
she's still learning about everything, even if she thinks she already knows it.
she's been hurt. sometimes she feels so alone she can't stand it.
other times she's so happy she can't believe it.
she's just trying to figure out this twisted time in her life when everything gets
real complicated, real fast. & everything seems to spin out of control before
she even begins to understand what's going on.
but she loves, laughs, & does her best.
& that's all you can ever ask of her.

A Native American grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he felt.
He said, "I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart.
One wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one. The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one."
The grandson asked him, "Which wolf will win the fight in your heart?"
The grandfather answered, "The one I feed."

I met a blind man the other day,
he taught me how to see love

the last memory i have of him
was blurred by tears

It's been a tough year for all it's worth.
I still keep your phone number at the bottom of my purse,
between the sticks of gum and the reasons why I don't call you anymore.

i dont mind not seeing you as often as i want
for the mere fact that ill have the rest of
forever to spend with you everyday and everynight

i don't like typical stuff. when you buy me a ring, get me some 25cent thing while you're at the grocery store with your mom it shows i crossed your mind, when you see me, get down on one knee and propose to me like a gentleman, and ask me to kiss you instead of marrying you. flowers are great, but only if they can squirt stuff at you. going back&forth about who'll hang up first on the phone is cute, but belching contests&political debates are so much better.  5star resraunts are nice, maybe even romantic, but i'd rather eat a hot dog in a stadium. &i love you is so over used, so when you fall for me say it in some other language like...spanish :)

Sometimes I touch the things you used to touch,
 looking for echoes of your fingers.

It's a man's obligation to stick his boneration in a woman's separation, this sort of penetration will increase the population of the younger generation.
Cartman from South Park

"People are never perfect, but love can be.
We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love.
Love isn't finding someone perfect.
It's loving someone imperfect, perfectly."

I'm not going to change for him. I have my morals. I do what I want. If he doesn't
like me for who I am, then that's fine. I love who I am so someone else will, too.

As of today, I have absolutely no regrets. I think i am a mature person now who
can take things in my stride. I am grateful for people in my past.
They helped me get to where I am, wherever that is. But now, I’m thinking for myself.

Maybe some people aren't meant to be in
our lives forever. Maybe some are just
passing through to teach us a lesson.

"There's no doubt about it - breakups suck. but in the first few hours
or days or weeks that follow, there's one important truth you need to
recognize: some things can't and shouldn't be fixed, especially that loser
who dumped you or forced you to dump him. it's over for a reason, and
deep down inside you probably know what that reason is."
-it's called a breakup because it's broken.
 Greg behrendt

I'm a slow walker, but I never walk back. 
Abraham Lincoln

Lately, I've been counting my blessings.
I've been doing fine, I've been happy.
Lately, I've realized that..
I don't need you.

You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again.
But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect - you aren't either, and
the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause
you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and
give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day,
but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don't
hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give.
Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss
her when she's not there

So I guess this is the ending or a beautiful mistake.
And if we both agree that we shouldn't be together,
then why does it hurt so much? I feel like I lost my
closest friend. Did I just give up on the best thing
 I ever had? I hope you're happy and completely lonely.

FOR the female half of the population, it may bring a satisfied smile. Scientists have found that evolution is driving women to become ever more beautiful, while men remain as aesthetically unappealing as their caveman ancestors.

Drastic times don't call for drastic measures.
It calls for sitting down,
shutting the hell up,
and thinking things through before you fuck it up more.

I would love to meet people that have their mind straight
and don't bring any problems into my life.
I want to meet more people that think about the same things as I do.
Most of all I want to meet more people with good hearts
and good brains.

after a relationship is over, whether it be a friendship, or a romantic relationship, in the coming days, weeks, months, maybe even years, there come days where you realize where YOU went wrong. maybe you can even pin point the exact time that things started to fall apart. some would say you're lucky for that, but i don't, because then you will always have an urge to use this information to fix things. and thats something that i don't think one can ever let go of. it's the hardest part of moving on. realizing some things- can't be un-broken.

i have moments in my brain when you're not there. my brain is the only place where i know i'm not in love with you. my heart, on the other hand, would do anything to have you back

And I just thought that you should
know that I've been holding on
while you've been letting go.
++ Daughtry

I've noticed that in the end you think about the beginning.

Dear Mr. President,
Come take a walk with me.
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me.
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly.
What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?
What do you feel when you look in the mirror?
Are you proud?

I do understand the impulse.The impulse to put your hand out and want someone to be there at the end of your reach. To want someone to be close to. To want to kiss or touch even if it’s wrong. The point is you can’t control these feelings. Even if they’re wrong, they’re there.They’re always there

Why do you cry when you know
how the story ends? How can you
laugh when you know that it hurts
your friends? We've all been there
once, but you never left. This is
me coming back to get you out to
say goodbye, to make amends.
I'm not leaving this place,
unless I'm leaving with you

Don't let anyone ever make you feel like
you don't deserve what you want

i dont know what ive been waiting for but
every moment im with you feels like everything
ive been waiting for

It's those things you hate about yourself
that someday someone will love about you.

The average person tells 4 lies a day,
or 1460 a year a total of 88,000
by the age of 60.And the most common lie is:
I'm Fine.

She's strong, because she knows
what it’s like to be weak. She keeps
a guard, because she knows what it's
like to cry herself to sleep.

Only time will determine when
and how you're going to move on.
Sure, it might not be right away
like you want it to be, but eventually
one day you'll wake up and realize
that somewhere along the way, that
piercing feeling you've always felt
inside your chest faded and went away
while you were too busy living life to notice.

i'd like to dedicate this quote to you,
because even though you're not friends
with me now,you had this big impact in
my life, bigger than you will ever know.
so this goes out to you,for helping shape
who i am, right now.

Today, it hit me:: I realized I'm never
going to see you again.And it was okay at
first. But then I started thinking about it.
& looking at all the pictures of us And I
realized,I have no idea how I'm going to
get by without you.

She doesn't know what she wants anymore. All she knows is who she really wants and it's the boy who doesn't want her back.

She's getting to you.
You're slowly realizing that you don't like being without her.
You're feeling exactly like she did.

I've gotta admit, I've been a trainwreck ever since you left.

when people ask me if i still like him,
i honestly don't know how to answer.
there's just something that keeps me holding on,
something that tells me that he still loves me.

She belonged to me.
She was, all those things I wasn't. And I was all the things she wasn't.
She could paint circles around anyone; I can't  even draw a straight line.
She was never into sports; I've always been.
Her hands, it fit mine.
--Sarah Dessen

girl: what would you do if one day, i died?
boy: why?
girl: just answer...
boy: well, i'd find a way to join you.

he reached for her hand. "i don't want to lose you." his voice was almost in a whisper. she could feel the tears again, & she fought them back. "but you don't want to keep me either, do you?" to that, he had no response.

you were my first && sometimes i wish you were my last.

If you want him to fall head over heels, give him something to trip over

So many of us find ourselves saying, "But he was so great!" Yes, and the people who got on the Titanic thought they were going on vacation. Things changed and it's important to remember that they did

you look back on those years & you cry because you know no matter how much you change, you won`t be the same person you used to be & neither will he.

Your mouth was made
To suck my kiss.

the truth is, it's always been you. I fell so hard that you've never
really left me. There've been other guys, but when it comes down
to it, at the end of the day, you’re the only one on my mind.

someday you're going to meet someone who
drives you mad, who you're going to fight with
and laugh with. someone who you'll do insane
things for, someone, who is going to turn your
whole world upside down.

only bitches get far in life. guess i’m voted number one to succeed

Regret nothing. Deny Everything.

"Seriously. What's it like?"
"Being perfect? I wouldn't know."
"Not being perfect. Being…gorgeous."
"Again," he said, as the parking lot girls passed by, eyeing both of us.  "I wouldn't know. You tell me"
"Don’t even. We're not talking about me."
"We could be."
"I'm not gorgeous."
"Sure you are."
"You," I said, "have this whole tall, dark, stranger thing going on. Not to mention the tortured artist bit."
"And you," he said, "have that whole blonde, cool and collected, perfect smart girl thing going on.

You can't treat him the way I can, because if you could,
he wouldn't have kept coming back to me

without trust, everything falls apart.

you know, i think thats the thing. everyone has a story. something that made them. for you it might be a death, for someone else it might be a birth. but that girl over there, she's got a lot that made her. she's got THE story.

you take me by the heart when you take me by the hand.

<3!***Have you ever noticed how adults often
compare their love to that of two teenagers?
That's because our love is crazy, senseless
and unlimited. It's the most ridiculously
passionate love there is, and once we've had it,
we'll spend the rest of our
lives searching for a replica of it.

It's weird, we've been
apart for months now,
but still I find you're
the only thing on my mind.
nothing has changed except
for you and your feelings.
I wasn't kidding when I
said that I'd always love you.

remember when a cross your heart swear to die,
stick a needle in your eye was all you needed
from someone to tell them your deepest secret?

en shes not yours, you'll do everything
you can to get her. But when you do
have her, you take everything for granted.
So by the time you realize that you should've
treated her right the first time, she'd be with
the guy that does treat her right every time.

never ask if you're in love ,
because if you have to ask
you're not.

Take every chance you get. Because honestly no matter where you end up, or who you end up with, it always ends up the way it should be. Your mistakes are what makes you the person you are today you learn & grow with each choice. Make everything you do worth it. Live your life as if there won't be any tomorrow. Say how you feel, always be you & be okay with it.

you are faker than the
foundation on your face.

Language was only needed when unattractive
people were born so they could be commented on.

Every time I hear your voice, I hear another reason to keep you forever.

make the girls wanna hate and the boys wanna stare.

If we fall in love because someone makes us laugh.
What happens when we no longer find them funny?
If we fall in love because someone is beautiful, what
happens when that beauty fades? I f we fall in love
because someone can provide for us, what happens
when they lose their wealth? Because love defies all
reasons. When you truly love someone, you can't just
find a reason. You just do.

There are a lot of people who call you
by your name, but there is only one person
who can make it sound so special.

There are millions of people in this world,
but in the end it all comes down to one.
I still panic sometimes, forget to breathe,
but I know that there's something beautiful
in my imperfections; the beauty that he held

The strength that I will never be able to say.

The single hand that wipes your
tears during your failures is much
better than the countless hands
that come together to clap on your success.

I want to marry you because you
are the first person I want to look
at when I wake up in the morning,
and the only person I want to kiss
goodnight. Because the first time
that I saw these hands, I couldn't
imagine not being able to hold them.

Parting a soup is not a miracle. It's a magic trick.
A single mom who's working two jobs, and still
finds time to take her son to soccer practice,
that's a miracle. A teenager who says 'no' to drugs
and 'yes' to an education, that's a miracle. People
want me to do everything for them. What they
don't realize is they have the power. You want
to see a miracle, son? Be the miracle.

She's got a C average which means she's either lazy
or stupid. I can work with either. Frankly sometimes
stupid is easier. I can scare the stupid out of you, but
the lazy runs deep.

That’s what everyone wants. Not 24-7 hot wet sex.
Not a marriage that lasts a hundred years.
Not a Porsche or a blow job or a million dollar crib.
No. They wanna hold your hand. Every single
successful love story has those unbearable and
unbearably exciting moments of hand holding.

When your big and famous, I hope
you save a spot for me in your heart.

His hello was the end of her endings,
Her laugh was their first step down the aisle.
His hand would be hers to hold forever,
His forever was as simple as her smile.
He said she was what was missing,
She said instantly she knew.
She was a question to be answered,
and his answer was I do.
~Sex and the City

I never had to prove myself to you. I never questioned if you meant the things you said. And I never doubted it was real. Even though you're gone, I still don't. It's a sad thing in life that you usually don't know how authentic something is, or isn't, until it's gone, done, and over. I knew, and I still know.

"to ease another's heartache is to forget one's own."
-Abraham Lincoln-

I'm still learning what love is, every day I wake up in your arms.
I'm still trying to figure out what works, how to set off all your alarms

The key to individuality is to get rid
of that "I'm-afraid-of-looking-stupid" fear.

Cinderella walked on broken glass,
Sleeping Beauty let a whole lifetime pass.
Belle fell in love with a hideous beast,
Jasmine married a common thief,
Ariel walked on land for love and life,
Snow white barely escaped a knife.
It was all about blood, sweat, and tears
because love means facing your biggest fears.

You can't just plan a moment
when things get back on track, just
as you can't plan the moment you
lose your way in the first place.
- someone like you (by sarah dessen)

There are moments when it's too quiet.
Particularly late at night or early in the
mornings. That's when you know there's
something lacking in your life.

A person who has good thoughts
cannot ever be ugly. You can have
a wonky nose and a crooked mouth
and a double chin and stick-out teeth,
but if you have good thoughts they will
shine out of your face like sunbeams
and you will always look lovely.

Motivation is what gets you
started. Habit keeps you going.?
