i have learned to take a step back and stop trying to understand all the whys and how comes that go along with the world and this life. sometimes you really just have to say "fuck it" and just live.

and there she goes again, listening to her ipod, trying to forget about the silly boy who might break her heart.

we didn't realize we were making memories. we just knew we were having fun.

i believe that everything happens for a reason. people change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate when they're right. you believe lies so you eventually learn who to trust besides yourself, but always give second chances. && sometimes good things fall apart so that better things can fall together.

but if something was really important fate made sure it somehow came back to you and gave you another chance.

she's banged up mentally, emotionally, literally and metaphorically, but every day she walks outside with a smile on her face because that's who she is.

i think love thrives on unlikely circumstances and chance.

leave your worries at the bridge, your clothes in the sand, and your heart at the beach <3

The process of letting go isn`t easy ;
but it`s part of growing up..

Don`t expect her to hang around much longer. You can`t keep leading her on, & then going back to the one girl you know is going to break you. she deserves to be more then second best cause she has feelings of her own & a heart that`s going to shatter over your "mistakes."

i`ve met a guy; who`s not scared to laugh at me
& call me a loser when i do something dumb.
a guy that`ll run up behind me & cover my
eyes & ask me to guess who he is, even
though it`s pretty obvious. a guy who hides
behind a corner & jumps out to scare me,
so he'd have a reason to hold me. a guy that
leaves me numerous voicemails, just cause.
a guy that`d call to wake me up in the morning,
cause he wants to be the first voice i hear each
day. a guy that would never let go of my hand.
a guy that would look me in the eyes & tell me he
loves me. & mean it. yeah, that guy.

& this right here..
is the exact reason why
i never gave up on you
when everyone else said
to stop trying.

I can`t be the best person in this world but I can be me, I may not be the sweetest but I can be as I can be, I may not be the one for you, but I`ll always be there for you

I make mistakes. I have regrets.
I hate being alone. I`m always late.
I hate school. I don`t like being wrong.
I`m a huge procrastinator. I hate being ignored.
I cry. I`m shy. I have enemies. I can`t sing.
I laugh way too loud. I can`t look anyone in the eye.
Many things just seem to get to me.
I`M N0T PERFECT

I beg to differ with all your pointing fingers.
And second guessing, my second chances.
Because you're whats been keeping me up at night.

and you say we're too young, but maybe you're too old to remember

Falling in love is rather like a dance. Each dancer has his or her own steps, but for the dance to work, each dancer must also understand the other's steps & they must move together in a fluid moment, sometimes parting but always aware of the other. It is a beautiful thing to watch. And yet, so many budding romances fall at the first hurdles; too many dancers spin apart from each other, or fail to bend to the other's rhythm.

Believe me; I've always loved you.
And even when you loved someone else,
I kept quiet because I knew that you
deserved so much better than me </3

I started thinking today. Yeah, about him. And I smiled, & I laughed. I remembered his arms around me & the touch of his lips when he knew I was upset. I remembered all the late night talks & all the words I was so comfortable saying to him, but I would have never been able to say to anyone else. I remembered all the songs that take me back & make me smile. I remembered all the promises, the ones we both knew would be broken. I remembered all the moments he took my breath away & how he knew more about me than I thought anyone could. I remembered the games we'd play because we talked about so much I couldn't think of anything else to say. I thought about what kind of person could have thrown that all away & hurt someone that much. Going into it, I never thought it would have ended like that. After wanting someone for so long, it's supposed to be perfect, right? And everything should last forever. But I fell out of love, & when you've loved someone you just want them to be happy. Even if their happiness doesn't involve you.

Youll never learn anything
by playing it safe.

Too many people get caught up in what could be instead of appreciating what is. Don't fall into that trap; appreciate what you have & who you have, because the future can take it all away from you.

In life one problem is replaced by another.
There is never a time when you wont have any problems.
If you enjoy the challenge then life is an adventure.

There are two kinds of people in your life.
People that are there to pick you up and the
people who are there to push you down.
In the end, you're going to thank them both.

never trust anyone with your heart.
it's all that's keeping you alive.

you're doing the right thing. your true
best friend will stick with you &
support you, even if what you're
doing is wrong.

remember; time is precious.
so be careful with who you waste it with.

My friends & I are so tight,

we make spandex look baggy!

I remember the times being just friends with you.
& I remember the time when I could look at you
& not want to kiss you.

Never ruin an apology
with an excuse.

Peyton: Buds over studs.
Brooke: Hoes over bros.
-One Tree Hill

listen skank,
just because you say really mean things
in a really nice way doesn't mean we dont think
your a total skank!

I hope you didn't forget.
no, i know you didn't forget.
please, just don't let yourself
forget who your real friends are.

she talks about you like you put the stars in the sky.

She's a mess of gorgeous chaos,
you can see it in her eyes.

i'm not perfect. I'll annoy you. I'll piss you off,
say stupid things, then take it all back.
but put all that aside, and realize that you'll never
find a girl who cares more about you than me.

When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot, hang on & swing.

In love you find the oddest combinations:
Materialistic people who find themselves
in love with idealists. Clinger`s fall in love
with players..homebodies capture & try to
smother butterflies. If it weren`t so serious
we could laugh at it.

I don`t wanna be just a girl you met
I don`t wanna be just a memory
I wanna be the best memory you ..
[ e v e r . h a d ]

there are many things that i'd like
to say to you; but i don't know how...
~ wonderwall (oasis)

You and me :
we go back to jump rope & grade school ♥

I deserve the right kind of love. The kind of love that makes me happy. The fantastic love that's in books & movies. Even if we aren't together forever, I want to look back & never regret having fallen in love with you. That's the kind of love I think we all deserve.

hold a friend's hand through times of trial,
let them find love through a hug and a smile;
but also know when it is time to let go, for
each and every one of us must learn to grow.

keep away from people who try to belittle
your ambitions. small people always do that,
but the really great make you feel that you too,
c a n b e c o m e g r e a t .

do you like dreaming of things so impossible, or only the practical? or ever the wild or waiting through all your bad days just to end them with someone you care about? or do you like making out and long drives and brown eyes and guys that just don't quite fit in?

remember last summer, when we were
bored out of our minds, had no idea what day
it was, and still had the time of our lives?

i want something real, something i can touch
and hold onto. a love

 that makes my heart skip,
and gives me that amazing feeling in the pit
of my stomach. i want forever.

I'm sorry you had to take me so seriously
All we have left to do now is lay in our beds by ourselves every night
When we were laid right by the beach
The sand on our skin, the hair in your face
The salt on our lips when we kissed
And now I can't forget
All of the little things we said with confidence
I was mistold that every good thing we have
must come to a bitter end

when all the world is a hopeless jumble
and the raindrops tumble all around
heaven opens a magic lane;
when all the clouds darken up the skyway
there's a rainbow highway to be found
leading from your window pane to a place behind the sun.
just a step beyond the rain.

And I hope your hands are steady and never need to make a fist.
And I hope that when you're ready, you get one never ending kiss.
And I hope that deep inside of you, there's a sweet eternal song.
And I hope the words are pretty and that you'll always sing along.

" maybe you dont go to hell for the things you do.
maybe you go to hell for the things you don't do.
the things you dont finish "

i am coming to terms with the fact that
loving someone requires a leap of faith,
and that a soft landing is never guaranteed.

hello, good morning, how you do?
what makes your rising sun so new?
i could use a fresh beginning too.
all of my regrets are nothing new.
so this is the way that i say i need you.

and think not you can direct the course of love;
for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

now i've lived on the roof and i've lived on the moon;
i live so i can spend another day in june with you.
tell me what it's all about. it's funny how it all works
out:; everything works out. but nothing good
comes easy, especially to you and me.

today i caught you looking at me.
i was talking and you were watching.
i don't know if it was a sign when
our eyes met, but i miss you.

and you-with all your little flaws
and your little quirks,
somehow you keep drawing me back in
Summer-the oc

knowing when to stop running away
and start fighting for the most important
thing that you can ever feel

better to be without logic than without feeling

Darling, I would hate to ruin this because
we both know that it's almost flawless.
But those beautiful nights don't last forever
& a beautiful world will never exist.

I'm afraid of being alone forever,
dreams not being fulfilled,
having something tragic happen,
losing someone close to me,
or just losing the sense of being alive altogether.

every scar you have tells a story.
the times you fell off your bike,
the time you scraped your arm while
climbing that tree. or maybe the time
another boy broke your heart.

I`m always a mess. I can never keep my own secrets. I laugh too hard at stupid things. My favorite songs can make me cry. I always watch for 11:11, but i miss it more than i notice it. I live in the past, in the memories i have with the people i love. I hate thinking about reality & i`m so homesick that it`s not even funny. But not homesick in a missing my house kind of way..maybe it`s more like heartsick for all the things that i can`t get back. It`s hard for me to define myself..I guess i`m just a cliche--the girl who loved too hard & didn`t get anything in return. i don`t want to be the heroine in some tragic love story, i just want the one person who has never given me a second thought.

The days will always be brighter because he existed.
The nights will always be darker because he's gone

I wish I could laugh with you again. I wish I could still call you friend.

Missing someone isn't about how long it's been since you've seen them last
or the amount of time since you've talked.
It's about that very moment when you're doing something, and you wish,
you wish that they were right there with you.

You looked my way and said, "You frustrate me."
Like you're thinking of lines and times when you and I were you and me.
We took our chance on the streets,
then I missed my chance and chances are it won't be coming back to me.

To love is to let go when you know
that his feelings are not for you.

Love is all emotions, brought together cause of one person, anger if they`re taken, fear of rejection, sadness without them, happiness with them, it`s all these emotions that light the fires known as love, but all these emotions can also bring love crashing to the ground, keep your love in the right place.

Did you know I kept all of your pictures?
i don`t have the strength to part with them yet
I tried to erase the way your kisses taste
But some things a girl can never forget.

You Don`t Always Get A Second Chance

If he were a flower, he`d be a sunflower ; tall & strong,
radiating light & energy. If I was a flower I`d be your
average daffodil ; nice enough but nothing special,
not the sort of flower that people stop & admire.
[ The Beat Goes On ;; Adele Minchin ]

oh boo hoo. you have a sob story.
we all have a sob story. don't think
you`re so special or different
just cause you`re hurting..cause
here`s a secret..we`re all hurting..

So, please, just be patient. I`m so afraid to care about someone. I know it seems like I'm this strong girl who can get through everything, but inside I`m very fragile. I`ve had so many things thrown at me, & each one has only made a crack. What I`m afraid of is shattering.

you want to know the hardest thing about summer?
not falling in love & wondering if it will last..
no, it`s putting on a bra over a sunburn

& sometimes despite all your best choices,
& all your good intentions, fate wins anyway

Love doesn`t mean you`ll never break up,
it just means that you`ll always get back together.

the truth is we're still young.
we've got time to mess up, things
to do that we might regret, hearts
to break & mend, and parties we'll
never remember. we're just kids.
we have to fuck this up right.

because the people who are crazy enough to think
they can change the world, are the ones who do.

that's how people go on forever, you know?
because somebody takes them along.

You say I'm going nowhere
and that's what makes me keep dreaming
You wish I would just shut up
and that's what makes me keep screaming
You tell me to watch my step
instead, I'm falling out of love
I thought you were all that I had
but without you I've got it all.

What is broken is broken and
I'd rather remember it as it was, at it's best,
than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.

I am very interested and fascinated by how everyone loves each other,
but no one really likes each other.

I may only be able to count my good friends on my fingers,
and that doesn't say a lot about me, but it says everything about them.

The truth hurts. So I'm going to tell you every bit.

I`ve worked too hard to be distracted, & moving our relationship to the next level will more than distract me. Maybe that makes me a prude or a geek, but it`s who I am, & it`s what keeps me feeling bulletproof. Staying away from distractions. Staying the course. Spending the extra 10 minutes to get that calc problem right, even when my friends are just slapping something onto the page to get it turned in on time.
[ Sticky Fingers ; Niki Burnham ]

I`m not usually a reckless person. What happened the summer of my junior year was not about recklessness. It was about the way a moment, a single moment, could change things & make you decide to try to be someone different.
[ Honey, Baby, Sweetheart ]

Tell your family that you love them everyday, give your best friend the biggest hug in the world, & cherish every moment you share with your lover, because you never know when it will be your last time experiencing it.

You have enemies?
Good. It means you have actually
stood up for something in your life.

dont tell me who i am because unless i write
all my thoughts down on a piece of paper and
& hand it to you , you dont even know half of my life.

Break the rules
Stand apart,
Ignore your head
Follow your heart
if everything happened when & how we
wanted it to,nothing would be worth waiting for

I hate that time before you go
to sleep at night cause that's when
all the thoughts you've been trying
to avoid start to linger in your mind.

I remember when I used to be the happiest, loudest, spunkiest person alive.
Nothing could get me down for very long.
I smiled all the time and laughed nonstop.
I still see glimpses of that girl sometimes, but not much.
I miss her. She was a good kid.

we better speak up.
we better say something.
we better believe ourselves for once.

Love is rolling over in the middle of the night
to kiss your loved one on the forehead,
just to make sure that it isn't a dream.

he's the one boy that actually
got through to her heart. </3

Tell me my dreams are unrealistic,
& I`ll tell you yours aren`t big enough.

"Through humor, you can soften
some of the worst blows that life delivers.
And once you find laughter,
no matter how painful your situation might be,
you can survive it."

Let's live it up like it's our last,
cause there's no room for "i wish i had's"
it's time to live until tomorrow ends,
because we don't need to rest.
we'll sleep when we're dead

You kiss a hell of a lot better than you listen.
Maybe that's why I can't get enough of you. It's
true what they say, old habits are hard to break,
but you'll remain my most tempting mistake.

Being a bitch means :
I stand up for myself and my beliefs. I stand up for those
I love. I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do
things my way. I won't compromise what's in my heart, I
live my life my way. I won't allow anyone to step on me, I
refuse to tolerate injustice. It means I have the courage &
strength to allow myself to be me. So try to stomp on, douse
my inner flame, squash every ounce of beauty I hold within.
You won't succeed. And if that makes me a bitch, so be it.
I embraced the title and I'm proud to be a bitch.

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 and 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 and be okay with it.

let's go out and cause some trouble;
you're among friends so don't be humble.
let's go live on the edge.
not care what anyone says.

life only gets harder as it passes you by.
learn not to let things get to you and
hold your head up high, turn around and
say goodbye. just learn not to let yourself cry.

summer, after all, is a time when wonderful things happen to quiet people.
for those few months, you're not required to be who everyone thinks you are.
and that cut-grass smell in the air and the chance to dive into the deep end of a pool
give you the courage you don't have the rest of the year.

people think they're just going to meet
the perfect guy. don't be ridiculous.
++Kelly Clarkson

i love staring at people sitting at a stop light. even though it may seem rude, you can learn a lot about people within that ten second range that you are with them. they're confidence, or lack of it, shines through at that very moment they realize you're looking at them:; for they can either look away, or they can stare right back at you and hold that gaze until the light changes green.

there are some things you don't have to say
some things should just be understood

Show me who you are. Stop me before I go too far. 'Cause it hurts to hold back, so hold me or I might crack. I'm gasoline, you're the match. I'm not sure if we could hand that. It might explode, could be a mess... I say we take the chance.

Nobody is perfect... Just perfect for each other.

Have you ever had to choose between two people? Especially when the one you choose is going to be the one you'll be with, & the one you don't just might not be the same anymore when you see them? The decision had to be made somehow, but you just don't know what to do. One gets along with your friends, but you feel more comfortable around the other. One makes you smile & can talk about almost anything with them, but you realize that you simply just have much stronger feelings for the other. How many times have your friends told you to just follow your heart, yet they tell you who to pick anyways? No matter how hard you wanted to decide who to pick, you just couldn't seem to make a choice. You eventually stress yourself out about this. There's only one thing you can do though. You make them wait. Obviously right now you can't determine who you have stronger feelings for, so why not make them wait & see who has stronger feelings for you? Whoever really truly believes they can be with you obviously likes you a lot & is willing to wait for you.

so don`t chase me.
unless you`re ready to catch me.
[ Grey's Anatomy ]

You must be a good runner,
because you're always running on my mind.
You must be a great thief,
because you've stolen my heart.
But I must be a terrible shot,
because I miss you always.

you closed your eyes ; that was the difference. sometimes you can`t believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel & if you`re ever going to have people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them too even when you`re in the dark ;; even when you`re falling.

run in the rain just to get wet,
call a friend just because you care,
smile just because you can.
& laugh just to make people stare.

I didn't mean to hurt you,
but I know that I did </3

I want to be the girl that
changed everything. The girl
that made a difference. The
girl that gave you a story to tell

She changed from clear
lipgloss to pink shimmer.
What more does she need
to do? Shout "I love you"
from rooftops?
- That 70's show

I'm not afraid of heights;
I'm afraid of falling.
I'm not scared of the dark;
I'm scared of what's in it.
I'm not afraid to love;
I'm afraid of not being
loved back

Her mind says,
"I think you'd better forget
that person." But
her heart says, "Never"

She looked like her whole world was him.
She looked a kind of happy I can't even imagine.
[Bloom by ElizabethScott]

Love isn't perfect, so don't wait around for the fairytale.

The definition of love is a feeling which
hints a completeness of a soul ♥

Go to Heaven for the climate
& Hell for the company.
-Mark Twain

I don't know what I would do without you. You are the most incredible person I've ever met & I just want to thank you for everything you've done for me. From the littlest things to the bigger things. You are the most amazing friend a person could ever have & I know I can talk to you whenever anything is bothering me. You are reliable & trustworthy & so much more. Having a person like you around brightens my day. You always check up on me & see how I'm doing, whether it's a text or call. You always seem to make me feel better & let me know that you care. I know no matter what, you won't walk out on me, & all I can really do is thank you & return the favor. You mean the world to me & whatever it is that you need, I'm here. I'm gonna be here to talk to if you ever need me; I'll try my best to give you advice or just be the person to lend a shoulder to you. You are my best friend & I just wanted you let you know how special of a person you are. Thanks for everything.

I'm holding out my hand;
why don't you reach for me?

don`t look for the hottest guy or the most
popular jock. look for the guy that makes
you feel like you`re actually worth a
second glance. the one that makes you happy
to be the person you don`t have to try to be,
or want to be. the guy who isn`t like all the
rest.. but completely different. yet, it`s why
you like him, cause he isn`t like any guy
you`ve ever known. he`s just him.

So this is when we finally learn the real meaning of change. You do the things you used to be against, you date the people you thought you never would, & you befriend the people you used to hate. You`ll learn what it`s like to have your heart broken, to lose a friend that truly meant something to you, & to feel as if everything`s really falling apart. There`ll be times that your life seems so absolutely horrible it feels like it`s not real. Despite all this, good things will come too. You`ll make the most amazing friends that will be there for you even when they probably shouldn`t. Your broken heart will heal once you find the most perfect guy you`ve ever met, & just as nothing else can go wrong, things will only get better. There`ll be the days you`re so happy, & the days that you feel like dying. Drama happens, gossip goes around, & people talk crap. Maybe this is just highschool, maybe it`s life, or maybe this is just what growing up is like.

you don't get to choose how you're going to die. or when. you can only decide how you're going to live. now.

forever came too soon.

the soul needs friendship
the heart needs love
- English Proverb

I love nice boys
who hold your hands
and hug you from behind just because.
Boys who don't say I love you every second
because he wouldn't have to,
I'd already know.

I'm just a summer girl soaking up
some summer sun <3

I missed 11:11 by just a minute last night;
I guess that's fate's way of telling me
you're not worth wishing for anymore.

Live your life so the preacher
doesnt have to lie at your funeral

here's to the nights we'd kill to get back,
the moments that haunt our dreams.
here's to the people forever loved,
who make our heart's want to scream.

i came down here to tell you
it rains in heaven all day long
i want to find you so bad & let you know,
i'm miserable up here without you.

i have no illusions about love anymore.
it came, it went, it left casualties, or it didn't.
people weren't meant to be together forever,
regardless of what the songs say.

is anybody satisfied with who they really are?
you could be the moon,
and still be jealous of the stars.

secret #24;
even though we weren't in love,
i miss that boy more than anyone
will ever understand.

Just live.
Do what makes you happy.
Be with people who make you laugh.
& Find a boy who makes you smile.

that's what people do.
they stay alive for each other.

something so strong shouldn't make me this weak.

i'm the kinda girl who can get in the shower,
and then realize there are no towels.
i'm the kinda girl you'll have crazy memories with.
i'm the kinda girl who will leave the house, with just her pajamas on.
i'm the kinda girl who will burst into tears from laughing so hard.
just because she can.
i'm the kinda girl who carries her emotions on her back.
the one who makes you remember what we had.
and won't ever let you forget it.

why are some girls so naive?
he didn't unbutton your shirt to see
a better view of your heart.

She had nothing left to give
& when she felt like giving up,
he came out of nowhere
& swept her off her feet

Someday I'll show you an extraordinary boy. They do exist. You just have to believe me.
-The Truth about Forever

Friends are like jello.
There's always room for more.
- Full House

being a teenager, it's a torturous time
when you learn almost everything
you have to know about survival.
the important thing to remember
when you're going through it, however,
is that you have absolutely no idea
how smart, strong & beautiful the pain
will make you. so go fourth and suffer.
one day, you'll rule the world.

i think that everything you learn
in high school, you have to spend
the rest of your life unlearning

Sure, we had our song,
but we never danced to it.
maybe some friendships aren't meant to be saved. maybe we're meant to spend a certain part of our lives with certain people, and then move on.

Giving back is the new black.

yeah, they talk about her.
& she smiles like she's so tough.
she says "hey, can you talk a little louder?"
"i don't think my heart's broken enough."

what she wants is pretty simple.
just a sticky note in her locker saying "i love you"
or a daisy stuck to her books because its
the little things in life that mean the most.

you aren't born tough
you get that way
when no one is there
to wipe away your tears

you can't buy happiness;
but you can buy brownies.
& that's kind of the same thing. :]

He said, "see you don't get it. Everyone in this world
has that one thing that completely destroys them.
Most of us work to cover it up. That's all you gotta do.
once you do that, you're just like everyone else. Living
a life of fake smiles and filled hearts. but until then,
you're just gonna be like this...forever."

Sometimes life is painful.
Sometimes it's beautiful.
But most of the time,
it's both.

Someone will always be smarter than you,
Someone will always be prettier than you,
Someone will always be funnier than you,
Someone will always be cooler than you,
But no one will ever be you.

And I would recommend that you live with no regrets, and even if it seems like the world is crashing in on you you shouldn't let it hold you down, hold you back.

You must have had a map when everyone else didn't,
because you found your way into my heart
when no one else could <3

you have such a pretty smile,
it's a shame the things you hide behind it.

Life is about finding out who you are
& saying fuck you to anyone who interferes

Life is about feeling someone pushing you
from behind & realizing it`s you

Life is a mixture of sunshine & rain, laughter & pleasure, teardrops & pain. So when clouds hide the sun & your skies are all gray, remember I`m only a phone call away.

Isn't it strange the places on the map your heart can take you? And then you figure out sometimes it's okay to stay still for a while, you don't have to go everywhere all at once, you can see a boy & you can love him for a minute & maybe it's real & maybe it's not, but sometimes all you have to do is wave back & keep going.
[TheGeographyOfGirlhood by KristenSmith]

There is no real definition for love. It could be that endless feeling of happiness you get from being around that person or the butterflies you feel fluttering around inside of you when he smiles. But one thing I'm sure of is that we all fall in love sometime in our life, & when we do, then & only then can we give our definition of love.
-Kayla Custino

don't change yourself for anyone
because that thing that you changed
may be the one thing that someone
else fell in love with.

falling is the first step in learning how to fly

change is never easy.
you fight to hold on and
you fight to let go.

sometimes you need
to walk alone, just to make
sure you still can

No one falls in love by choice; it's by chance.
No one stays in love by chance; it is by work.
No one falls out of love by chance; it's by choice.

& most of all I`m sorry to myself
for treating me worse than I would
anybody else. <|3

I`ve seen a lot of things in my life, a lot of ups & downs, made a lot of mistakes, no matter what you`ve always been by my side, you`ll always be my best friend.

I wish I could get rid of all my worries.
You know?
& be one of those people who just sails
right through life. You know?
& they do what they want to do,
whatever makes them happy & they don`t care
what other people think about them.

Sometimes we fall for people,
& they just aren`t ready to catch us.

Life's a bitch,
'cause if it were a slut,
it'd be too easy ;)

Life takes your dreams & turns them upside down;
friends talk about you when you're not around.
People make promises they just can't keep,
& I've come to realize that talk is cheap.
Too often we don't realize what we have until it's gone;
to often we wait to long to say "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones we hold dearest to our hearts,
& we allow foolish things to tear our lives apart.

Without love, forgiveness is impossible.

Here's to the moments in which
we didn't think about right from wrong.
Moments in which we just lived,
crossed our fingers and hoped for the best.

It's hard to believe we aren't those kids anymore,
almost as hard as it is to believe we ever were.

"There's always going to be somebody
who'll try to take your dignity and self-esteem.
Just never let them take your voice."

Under the streetlight, dancing by herself,
she is waiting for a car to stop, a star to fall,
someone to change her life.

And the world thought I had it all,
but I was waiting for you.

there are millions of people out there. but in the end it all comes down to one. i still panic sometimes, forget to breathe. but i know there's something beautiful in all my imperfections. a beauty in which he held out for me to see, a strength that can never be taken away.
- crazy/beautiful.

and sure there's obstacles in the way - broken hearts, and bitter best friends, life problems, and bad hair days, but everyday, she smiles and moves on because nothing in the world is gonna stop her.

i want to be the girl that changed everything. the girl that made a difference. the girl that gave you a different story to tell. that girl that you just can't live without.

i was thinking about how it drives me crazy just to feel your hand in mine, and how simple that is.

i love that when i breathe you in you smell like cake batter. and i love that you have this insane way of talking in circles that makes perfect sense.
- because i said so.

find a heart that will love you at your worst and arms that will hold you at your weakest.

soul mate: two little words, one big concept. a belief that someone, somewhere, is holding the key to your heart.
- sex and the city.

this place, with you by my side, is where i'll always want to be.
- nicholas sparks ; the choice.

promise me one thing. when you pick the boy you're gonna really be with. promise me he's someone who respects you and treats you well. someone who makes your heart race and he's someone you love. because of who he is. not what he does. use your head and follow your heart.
- one tree hill.

don't place expectations on people, enjoy the time you have with them and let it go where it goes.

the moment when my troubles are going to end is not the moment when my courage is going to fail me.
- marie antoinette

if one day you noticed we havent talked in awhile its not because i dont care anymore. its because you pushed me away.

listen, kid, love is the only chance for happiness you'll ever get in this life, and if you're going to let a little thing like rejection stand in your way, baby, you might as well stay right there on the ground, because people are going to be walking over you for the rest of your life.

distance never separates two hearts that really care.

Because the people who are crazy
enough to think they can change the
world are usually the ones who do.

Close your eyes tightly, so you won't see,
the tears you promised you'd never cry.

Your worst battle is between

Well, she's fashionably lean, & fashionably late.
She'll never rank a scene, she'll never break a date;
but she's no drag, just watch the way she walks.

You're like a shooting star headed for a brick wall
Oh so much potential, wasted in the end

And in the end the words won't matter,
'Cause in the end nothing stays the same
And in the end dreams just scatter and fall like rain.

So you failed. You wanna be really great?
Then have the courage to fail big and stick around.
Make them wonder why you're still smiling.

Maybe one day you'll be better, you'll be smarter.
More grown up, and a better son or daughter.
And a real good friend, and you'll be awake.
You'll be alert, you'll be positive though it hurts.
And you'll laugh and embrace all of your
friends and you'll be a real good listener.
You'll be honest, you'll be brave,
you'll be handsome and you'll be beautiful;
you'll be happy.

Always fight, until you can't anymore,
then be fought for.

The only thing I can say is,
"Thanks for being my best friend
and for sticking by my side. I love you."

Sometimes you need to forget what you want
and know what you deserve.
Sometimes you have to test someone.
Not because you don't trust them, but to see
how much they'll sacrifice for you.
And sometimes you have to let them go,
not because you suddenly stopped loving them,
but to see if they love you enough to come back.

I want the boy, you know,
the one that sings so terribly that
it makes you love the song.

People who belong together, stay together
despite major setbacks & disagreements.
They may deal in fault & blame temporarily,
but ultimately they work things out.
Love conquers all; in sickness & in health.

It's a shame that
some girls think
that guys are like
handbags; they
get sick of them
in a week

Don't wait for
someone else
to make your
life terrific.
That's your job

They say love
is around
every corner.
I must be
walking in circles

look at us in that photograph,
so beautifully naive,
i want it back.

I guess it`s gunna have to hurt.
I guess I`m gunna have to cry &
let go of some things I love to get
to the other side. I guess it`s gunna
break me down like falling when you're
trying to fly. It`s sad but sometimes
moving on with the rest of your life
starts with goodbye.

I don`t know what love is, but when i`m with you, 
I feel like the safest person in the world.
I forget about everything else. nothing else matters.
It`s about the here & now. & when you leave,
it`s a waiting game.
Cause all i want is the next day I get to see you.
& that`s the reason I keep on going everyday,
in hopes that today is the next day
I get to spend even one minute with you.
so if this isn`t love, it should be,
cause it`s the best thing in the world.

I mean, you were right.
I got into this for all the wrong reasons.
But I lucked out cause now that I`m here,
I can`t imagine being anywhere else.

God doesn`t give you the people you want.
Instead, He gives you the people you need.
To teach you, to hurt you, to love you & to
make you exactly the way you`re meant to be

Kiss all the guys you can, because if you don't,
you're always gonna wonder if he was the one
you would've seen fireworks with.

the scariest thing about memories
is thinking you're going to forget them.

it's not about who you've known the longest.
it's about who's never left your side.

when it hurts to look back and it's hard to look ahead,
you can look beside you and i promise i'll be there.

i enjoy corrupting america`s youth.
it`s actually one of my hobbies.

If you had to describe love in three words, what would they be? Someone asked me this
& I had no clue. What three words could possibly sum up the meaning of love?

We make our relationship the way we want it to be. We could make it so there are regrets & second thoughts, we could forgive but not forget or not forgive at all. We can be selfish or we could compromise. We can agree or disagree. We could cry or smile. We could make up or break up. But at the end of the day, everyone just wants to be happy. So we do what we could to keep it that way, even if it means sacrificing a little, because you know they'd do the same. I've done what I could, so now let's see what you're capable of.

Friends & family are like condoms;
they're your protection when things get hard.
Thanks for being my Trojan (=

Every girl needs a man. You know, the kind that'll treat you right. The kind that has enough respect for you & is willing to change, just to be with you. The kind that searches for you with all his heart & that can be trusted in a room full of beautiful girls. Every girl needs a man who won't cheat on her because he knows she's got all that he wants & needs already. He would be willing to be your friend & your lover & won't mind calling you early in the morning just to say good morning or late at night to say good night; maybe even sing you a good morning song & tell you a bedtime story or talk to you until you fall asleep. This guy will be the kind that'll do anything for you, even if it's to just go to the store & buy you your favorite kind of candy. He would defend & fight for you & wouldn't bail on you for his friends when you need him most. The kind that won't leave you lonely & wondering; the one that calls you surprisingly, even if he's out with his friend, to just tell you that he loves & misses you a lot. The kind that isn't afraid to smile to his friends every time you're around & tell them, "She's the one". The kind that appreciates you for the things you do for him, even if they're little. The ones that actually thank you for the little love notes you leave him, waits for you when you're falling behind, & opens doors for you. Every girl needs a man who will take you out on dates once in awhile & buys you flowers just because it's a Wednesday. The kind of guy that notices your hair when you just got it cut or done beautifully for him. He would remind you that he loves you & that he's happy to be with you, just in case you forget. The kind that just doesn't want kisses & hugs, but to actually be loved & to love. You deserve a guy that will call you beautiful instead of hot, who kisses your forehead when you're down, tells you to be strong & to not cry, & when you do cry, he'd cry with you when times are hard. Those kinds that will go through thick & thin with & for you. Those kinds that just loves you for who you are & not for who you aren't; loves you because you're his little brat & he's your teddy bear.

Sometimes, I just miss that boy. The one who held my hand walking down the street; who's arms I laid in & never wanted to go away. The one who I talked to for hours & told pointless stories to. The one who knew everything about me & liked me anyway. The one who knew exactly what I was saying even if I didn't, & helped me when I had no clue what to do. The one who showed me what love was & what it was like to need someone there. The one who could only make me cry & hurt me like no other guy could. Those eyes that said everything, that sense of sarcasm that was always there; the way even he couldn't stop from falling in love. That even though we fought constantly & couldn't stand each other, we couldn't leave each other's side. Something is still there; something that never left me the day that boy broke my heart in two. Something like your first love that wasn't ready to end. Something that makes your stomach flip at the brush of a hand or arm. Something that makes it so much harder to know that he's not yours anymore, but hers. Something that makes you want to hide away & cry all those tears, because suddenly all of those memories come back & it almost hurts worse to know that it's all out of control. And you just miss everything about that boy that isn't ever coming back.

I`m weird with relationships,
I think I know what I want,
& then I run cause I`m scared.
I`m scared that I might get hurt
or maybe I just haven`t found
someone who I know is worth
being hurt for.

You say girls are confusing? Nice try. Girls are the easiest to understand. We want love. We want trust, we want everything most guys lack. We want someone to change for us; we want them to accept the fact that sometimes we forget to shave. We want someone who doesn`t put drugs & alcohol before us. We want back rubs; we want you to give us flowers. We want you to hold our hand; we want you to be able to have sex with us for the beauty, not just cause you want it. We all just want our own Prince Charming.

You know what? Tragedies happen. What are you going to do? Give up? Quit? No. I realize now that when your heart breaks, you got to fight like hell to make sure you`re still alive. Cause you are, & that pain you feel, it`s life. The confusion & fear, that`s there to remind you that somewhere out there is something better, & that something is worth fighting for.

Stop playing mind games with her; she`s better than that. Stop telling her what to do & how to do everything, she can make decisions on her own you know. But most importantly, just cause your scared..don`t take it out on her, she cares for you more than any girl ever will. Realize it & appreciate it & treasure it & don`t ever let her go.

sometimes you just need to cry and be sad.
you need to break down and be torn apart.
you need to learn how to pick yourself up
and then put yourself back together again.
sometimes, the only way to be happy
is to give into sadness first. cause without it,
there's no happiness, you'd never learn to smile.

he drives me crazy,
but he keeps me sane.

the truth is, there is no line.
there's only life and how you
mess it up and who's there
to save you, and who isn't.

when silence between two people is
comfortable, then you know it's love.

Everyday above ground is a good day.

The Earth is speaking to us,
but we can't hear because of all the racket our senses are making.
Sometimes we need to erase them,
erase our senses.
Then - maybe - the Earth will touch us.
The universe will speak.
The stars will whisper.

There's this perception that perfection will make us happy. I mean, really, what's perfection? We see it as someone being faultless. Someone without anything to worry about because they're faultless. But maybe that's not really what perfection is. Maybe perfection is someone being completely happy with who they are and being the best to their ability. Maybe that's perfection. Maybe that's what it takes to be happy.

So you failed. You wanna be really great?
Then have the courage to fail big and stick around.
Make them wonder why you're still smiling.

Sometimes you need to walk alone, just to show that you can.

Live life to the fullest.
Laugh till you start to cry.
Love like you have nothing to lose.

don't ever listen when people say he's not good
enough for you, because really you are the
only one that knows how he makes you feel.

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

for a complicated girl; she ain't that hard to figure out.

never try to forget something, no matter how much you want to. there's a reason why your mind won't let it go, even if your heart has. your memories are always important, whether you know it or not, and you can't fight that.

Friendship means understanding, not agreement. it means forgiveness, not forgetting. it means the memories last, even if contact is lost

it`s not those who are there when you need them. it`s who has been there the entire time

Surround yourself with people you love being yourself with

what i like the most about you
is that you can make me laugh
when nothing's funny.

it was hard to let go, cause when i was
around him, i was just me. i didn't have to be
anyone but myself. people like that are hard
to find, and i think once we lose those people,
we're afraid we'll never find them again.

the expected is what we live for,
the unexpected is what changes our lives.

i've made mistakes in my life,
i've let people take advantage of me,
and i've accepted less than i deserve.
but i've learned from my bad choices.
and even though there are some things
i can never get back and people
who will never be sorry, i'll know better
next time and i won't settle for
anything less than what i deserve.

sometimes all you can do is not think.
not wonder, not obsess, not imagine.
just breathe. breathe in, breathe out.
everything works out in the end, and the
more time you spend worrying about it,
the longer it takes for things to end up
perfectly, just the way they should.

tell me i'm not making a mistake. tell
me that you're worth the wait, that
you're always gonna be here. make
me believe that i'm making the right
decision by still holding on. show me
that you're going to be around to
catch me when i fall.

nobody forgets what happens, the
secret is learning to live with it.

and her phone rang.
she figured itwas just her best friend.
she looked and saw that it was
the boy who let her go,
the boy whose heart she still wanted.
the boy who hadn't talked to her in days.
she asked why he was calling and he
said i want to see you again.

dreams are answers
to questions we haven't yet
figured out how to ask.

"love is when you find someone
you can really be yourself with
that you can share anything with;
like a best friend. its when you
can't even imagine what your life
would be like without that other
person. when words don't even
come close to how you really feel
and even though it doesn't make
sense to other people you know
you're meant to be together."

she hates seeing couples that are in love,
because it makes her realize that people do care..
just not about her.

Friends change.
Usually into everything they
said they wouldn't be.
You just have to accept it and realize
everyone changes in their lifetime.
The challenge is to stay friends
and prove to everyone that
friendships can last through anything.

I dont know what love is
but when Im with you,
I feel like the safest person in the world.
I forget about everything else,
nothing else matters.
Its about the here and now
and when you leave,
its a waiting game
because all I want is
the next day I get to see you
and thats the reason I
keep on going everyday,
in hopes that today is the next day
I get to spend even
one minute with you.
So if this isnt love, it should be,
because its the best thing
in the world.

I want someone to fall in love with
the way I laugh and fall in love with
my smile. I want someone to listen
to the ramblings of my inner child.
Someone who touches my face and
brushes the hair from my eyes.
I want someone who loves me or
at least holds me like they do.
But I only want that if its you

one touch from him sends shivers
through my whole body, something
i would never trade for anything

sometimes you just need someone.
someone to make you smile when you're sad
someone to tell you you're beautiful
someone to look forward to seeing you every day
someone to call you every night
someone to say I love you and mean it
sometimes you just need someone.

I can say I made a lot of mistakes, but I don`t regret things. Cause at least I didn`t spend a life standing outside, wondering what living would be like on the inside.

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you; Be honest anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between ONLY you ; It was NEVER between you and them anyway  <3

after a while, you just want to be with the one person who never fails to make you smile.

my mom always told me to remember the three L's: live laugh & love. she always asked me which was most important and i would say live because if you don't live you can't laugh and love. however, she was always there to correct me and tell me love was the most important because if you never find love you'll never fully laugh and never completely understand the meaning of living with the one you love.

there comes a point somewhere between the bad hangovers and the drunken heart to hearts that you realize all you need in life are a few good friends and a few good drinks.
- sex and the city.

i think the idea is that every person has to live for his or her own life and then make the choice to share it with other people.

isn't it wierd how people fit together like puzzles? everything and everyone you come across in life makes up of who you are. and those things, those people just fit. so here's to us, for finishing each others puzzles. and here's to us, for never, ever breaking this bond we created.

i think that's what i find most strange about this world is that nobody ever says how they feel. they hurt, but they don't cry out. they're happy, but they don't dance or jump around. and they're angry but they hardly ever scream. because they feel ashamed. nothing's worse than that. so we all walk around with our heads looking down and never look up and see how beautiful the sky is.

i guarantee there'll be rough times, and i guarantee that at some point one or both of us will want to get out, but i also guarantee that if i don't ask you to be mine, i'll regret it for the rest of my life because i know in my heart that you're the only one for me.
- runaway bride.

years from now i won't remember every friday night or the things that made us laugh so hard until our stomachs hurt, but i'll always remember that they were the ones who were there.

i'm not that good of a person, i make mistakes and i have regrets. i laugh way too loud and things just seem to get to me. basically, i'm saying that I'm not perfect, but when i'm with you, it doesn't matter, because you just seem to make me smile.

people in your life will come and go. they will lie, cheat, and steal, or do whatever they can to get to your heart. don't let them. the only people that deserve your heart are the ones that prove it.

life is like an hourglass. sooner or later, everything hits the bottom, and you just have to be patient and wait for someone to turn it around.

what is love? as far as i can tell its passion, admiration and respect. if you have two, you have enough. if you have all three you dont have to die to go to heaven.

the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. the beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
- audrey hepburn.

we all need something we consider worth getting up in the morning for. whether it's real or not; healthy or destructive; tangible or false is irrelevant. when you've got nothing to hang onto, deception can seem pretty inviting.

when you're talking about human chemistry only one thing matters: either you've got it or you don't.
- grey's anatomy.

sometimes we'll be piled on the couch wearing sweats, eating the kind of ice cream we like, watching our favorite TV show, talking in the shorthand way we talk that nobody understands. and I'll realize that this every day, simple, no-big-deal moment - this is my happiness.

love is just a word until it is proven to you.

if i had a snowflake for everytime i thought of you, we'd have a really white christmas.
- charlie brown.

it's not supposed to always make sense, because love isn't made to be predictable.

boys are so confusing. it's like they steal your heart, but they forget to give it back.

Time waits for no one, but love waits forever.

You said friends forever, but I guess forever isn't as long as it used to be.

You call me a bitch because I don't care what you say; I'm not like you. I don't care about what everyone thinks about me, says about me; whatever. And you say I think I'm so cool because I don't hate on people like you do? Excuse me, but I don't like to blame on people for talking shit about me when they don't even know me because they don't even know the real thing!

You're something between
a dream and a miracle.

Almost everything in life is easier to get into than out of.

Have you ever thought that if one thing hadn't happened,
a whole set of things never would have either?
Like dominoes; a single event kicked off an unstoppable series of changes
that gained momentum and spun out of control,
and nothing was ever the same again.
Don't ever doubt that a mere second can change your life forever.

If you're missing me,
You'd better keep it to yourself
Cause coming back around here
Would be bad for your health

Time waits for no one, but love waits forever.

You said friends forever, but I guess forever isn't as long as it used to be.

Kiss me in the dark,
tell me you love me in the moonlight,
& spend hours on end making memories
with me under the stars <3

surround yourself with people who are only going to lift you higher

Without even realizing it,
You taught me a lot of things. Not only about life, but how it`s okay to feel something,
extraordinary about someone.

This was how girls left. They packed up their suitcases & walked away in high heels, they pretended that they weren`t crying, that this wasn`t the worst day of their lives.

Even a pain in the ass needs someone to take care of them.

when you stop fighting, you stop living.
we all need that thing that`s worth fighting for.
maybe it`s a certain someone, or a special place, maybe just an idea. So find your right,
& fight like hell, til your battle is won.

I would rather be perceived as the girl who smiled than the girl who broke down about anything & everything.

I`m that girl that`s always happy ;; the one who never has problems, & when I do, they don`t get to me. Everyone sees me as the one they can count on to put a smile on their face cause as far as they know, I always have one on mine. No one looks any deeper than that

Lost in this moment with you; I am completely consumed, my feeling`s so absolute there`s no doubt. Sealing our love with a kiss, waited my whole life for this; watching all my dreams come true lost in this moment with you.

Forgive & forget. That`s what they say. It`s good advice, but it`s not very practical. When someone hurts us, we want to hurt them back. When someone wrongs us, we want to be right. Without forgiveness old scores never settle. Old wounds never heal, & the most we can hope for is that someday we`ll be lucky enough to forget
[ Grey`s Anatomy ]

Maybe not all friendships are meant to be saved, maybe we`re meant to spend a certain part of our lives with certain people & move on.

There are some memories that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives & some things that we choose to forget, but when we look back at those experiences we`ll see our friends, the ones who got us through everything, & we'll realize how lucky we are to have them.

& admit it, you love me. You always will, just like I`ll always love you, you were my first kiss, the first guy to give me butterflies so strong that I felt like I would drop to my knees, right then & there

If you're a mistake... I swear, you're the best mistake I've ever made.

It's nights like this, I feel alive... When every sentence we make is a promise.

Here's to this moment... this moment in your life where nothing at all is perfect, but everything feels so right.

& It's the way you got me head over heels for you. The way you get me like nothing or no one else ever has.

"I make mistakes... That's what I do. I speak without thinking. I act without knowing. I drink so much that I can barely walk. I'm a fantastic lover though & an amazing friend..... God knows I mean well." --Sex & the City

We talk about the old times & it made me smile because you didn't forget.

Let go of what kills you & hold on to what keeps you breathing.

That's the thing about words... They are clear & specific, but when you talk about feelings... Words are too stiff. They are this & that. They can't conclude all the meanings. They always leave something out.

Everything happens for a reason. Things fall apart & others fall into place. Don't question it. Just let it happen.

The things I thought you'd never know about me were the things I guess you always understood.

When she talks to you, listen to her voice. She may be talking about the weather, but she's screaming she loves you.

You'll always be able to make me smile... No matter how long it's been.

She doesn't care if you call her & wake her up in the middle of the night. She hates arguing, but you know she's good at it. She's terrified of the dark, but when she thinks of you, she smiles. She laughs at your jokes, even if they're dumb. She loves the way you stare at her & she wouldn't change that for the world.

I looked out the car window today and I'm realizing that I miss you again, it's funny how out of nowhere you came to mind. The truth is,
I wish you were here more than anything.

The world may never know the truth about your life, that's because they don't care to. But, when you find the one who wants to know every detail of it.
They're the ones to keep. They're the ones who keep you alive.

so here I am again. ending yet another pathetic excuse for a relationship. & it always seems one thing is always the same about it. I`m always the one who walks away from it all. away from the person who always said he`d never let me go. well, once again, I`m walking away..& no one`s stopping me.

Here`s a little something that every girl should know; it`s okay to hold on. But eventually, you`ll have to let go.
