people who dont know me think i'm quiet.
people who do know me wish i was.



And after awhile, you learn that
you don’t need anyone else in order
to survive.  No one else is ever going
to always be there, no matter what
they say or what they promise you. 
You just gotta suck it up, accept it
and keep on keepin’ on.



Don't give up when
you still have something to give;
Nothing is really over until
the moment you stop trying.



If you have made mistakes, even serious ones,
there is always another chance for you.
What we call failure is not the falling down but the staying down.



For all sad words of tongue and pen,
the saddest are these,
"It might have been".



Here's a toast. To the good days, the better friends.
The ones that you just can't live without. The people
that have taught you how to party. How to live.
How to have a good time just sitting around.
Here are to the people that no matter how bad things seem.
Are going to be there for you.
To lean back on and catch you if you fall.



In life, we do things. Some, we
wish we had never done,and some
we wish we could replay a million
times,but they make us who we are
and, in the end, they shape and detail
us.If we were to reserve them, we
wouldn't be the person we are toda y.
So, just live. Make mistakes and have
wonderful memories.But, never second
guess who you are, where you've been
and, most importantly, where you're going.



"We are only asked to love, to offer hope to the many hopeless. We don't get to choose all the endings, but we are asked to play the rescuers. We won't solve all mysteries and our hearts will certainly break in such a vulnerable life, but it is the best way. We were made to be lovers bold in broken places, pouring ourselves out again and again until we're called home."

so hold fast to all of your hopes

and chase your dreams with all the things you know,

live each day like it could be your last because

this world can be a cruel place.

the more you give it, the more it seems you lose faith.

hold on tight and things will be just fine.

its funny because when you do
something right, no one remembers.
but when you do something wrong,
no one forgets.

Wait for the right guy
but in the meantime,
flirt with the wrong ones

life is like an ocean;
it can be calm and still
or rough and rigid.
but in the end
its always beautiful<3



"I clutch at images like dying breath. And I don't want to make a fuss about it, but the only certain thing in life is death."

Yeah and it's over before you know it. It all goes by so fast. Yeah, the bad nights take forever, and the good nights don't ever seem to last. Wherever you walk tonight, I wish you the best of everything. In the world. And honey, I hope you found whatever you were looking for.

People who dream when they sleep at night know of a special kind of happiness which the world of the day holds not, a placid ecstasy, a nd ease of heart, that are like honey on the tongue. They also know that the real glory of dreams lies in their atmosphere of unlimited freedom. It is not the freedom of the dictator, who enforces his own will on the world, but the freedom of the artist, who has no will, who is free of will.

 
It's like going too high on the playground swings and taking polaroids
to show where it all began. Laying down, out of breath, pink cheeks.
It's love and I don't want anything else.
It just feels right for once in my life



You didn't hear it from us, but in every girl's life there
comes a moment when she realizes her mother
may be more messed up than she is.

The belief, and the believing changes everything. We’ve the right to dream, and that, I suppose is the greatest power; the notion that we can pick possibility from the trees like ripe fruit. We are filled with hope. 
Alive with transformation of what we can become.

You don't always have to win your battles,
but it's good to know you fought.

You will always be a part of my life ;
a happy memory, a good laugh, a tear or two,
I will never forget you

If you don't know where you are
going, any road will get you there.

You can't waste time missing something in the past.
Life changes, people grow up and grow apart,
and you accept that. Yet, you still can't stop thinking
of how good it used to be.
Afraid you'll never experience something like it again.
Afraid you've already lived it and already lost it.

I want to take the leap, I really do.
The truth is, I'm terrified of the fall.

I was so cynical, just inconvincible.
Nobody seemed worth trusting.But sure
enough, just when I'd near given up, you
appeared there among the destruction.

I believe in karma. What you give is
what you get returned. I believe you can't
appreciate real love until you've been burned.
I believe the grass is greener on the other
side.I believe you don't know what you've
got until you have to say goodbye.

You don't have to be tough every
minute of every day.It's okay to let
down your guard.In fact, there's moments
when it's the best thing you could possibly do;
as long as you choose those moments wisely

 You've given me reasons to smile
and good times to laugh about,
but most of all you've given me
memories I could never forget.

 there's something special about every girl.
maybe she can't see it, but someone can. <3
and there's something amazing about every girl,
but its up to her to find the [one person]
who will see that and love her for it.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Little girl, don't be so blue.I know
what you're going through.Don't let it
beat you up.Hitting walls and getting
scars,only makes you who you are.No
matter how much your heart is aching,
there is beauty in the breaking.

it's only in the black of night that you see the stars

When you don't have anything,
you don't have anything to lose.
[SixteenCandles]

Life isn't about having a size 0. It's not about how many boys you've made out with or how many boys have asked you out. It's not about how many clothes you have from Abercrombie or Hollister or AE. It's about living the best life you can. It's about being the best person you can be. It's about having people love you for you. It's about being 100% you in front of people you love. It's about being on the phone at 3 in the morning talking about the boy you love. It's about going prom shopping when you are 14. It's about getting your nails done, your hair done & getting a new outfit to walk around the street. It's about stringing together a bunch of little things & making everything count but life is mostly about living it up.

"But they lived those extraordinary lives that can never be lived again. And in the living of them, they gave me a history that is more profound, more beautiful, more powerful, more passionate, and ultimately more useful, than the best damn history book I ever read."

Hey, what's with the girls with the stars in their eyes screaming blame, love, kisses, tears, and lies. From your lipsticked lips will they ever learn? I'll take it in for a second before we crash and burn.

Summer's filled with breaking the rules and standing apart,
Ignoring your head and following your heart.

But summers had a way of making her smile and feel happier. It was sort of amazing how for those months of summer she always believed in herself and all that she could be.

I've realized that people make it very easy to hide behind a smile
If you just smile and tell them you're ok then they'll leave you alone,
even if they don't believe you,
because it's one less thing for them to deal with,
one less problem on their plate,
one less crazy, messed and possibley suicidal friend to try and help.
So if you just smile and put a little effort into how you look
then you can hide your problems from the world,
even if they all know better.

We didn't realize we were making memories,
we just thought we were having fun.

I'm the kinda girl who can get in the shower
and finally realize there are no towels. I'm the kinda girl
will have crazy memories with, that I r emember the next day
and burst out laughing in the dead silence at school. I'm the kinda
girl who carrys her emotions on her back, but doesn't ask for help,
hoping her eyes beg for her. I'm the kinda girl who will make you
remember what we had and will shove it in your face. Yes, I'm that girl.

It's hard to think about growing
up when you're right in the middle of
doing it. It's hard to know what you
want. Sometimes there are so many
voices in your head, it's difficult to
know which of them is yours.

Somewhere between the procrastination and the homework,
and the incessant forwards and the friendships, and
the nasty cafeteria food and the calls to each other complaining
about crushes. Somewhere between the phone calls to old
friends and the "I miss you's" and the "I love you's", and the
"What are we doing tonight's" and somewhere between all
of the changing and growing. Somewhere between the classes
and the skipping classes, and the studying for tests, and the
pretending to study for tests and the downright not studying
for tests, I forgot. I forgot what high school
is all about. I forgot what it meant to cry. I forgot
that pretending to be happy doesn't make you happy. And
that pretending to be smart doesn't make you smart.
I forgot that you can't just forget the past in fear of the future
. I forgot that you can't control falling in love. And that you
can't make yourself fall in love. I learned that I can love.
I learned that it's okay to mess up, and it's okay to ask for help
and it's okay to feel like crap. I learned it's okay to complain
and whine to your friends for the whole day. I learned that
sometimes the things you want most you can't have. I learned
that the greatest thing about high school isn't the parties or
the hook-ups, it's the friendships, which mean taking chances.
I learned that the things we want to forget are the things which
we most need to talk about. I learned that letters from your
friends are the most important thing. And that sending cards
to your friends make you feel better. But, basically, I learned
that my friends - old and new - are the most important people

to me in the world, and without them, I wouldn't be who I am today.



I've learned that you
can't make someone love
you; all you can do is
stalk them until they
panic & give in

Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe.


I’ve never been anyone's first choice ever.
I’ve never been anyone's first choice for a best friend.
I’ve never been anyone's first choice for a girlfriend.
I’m always the second best, the backup choice.
I’m never anyone's first choice.
And I’m tired of it.
It hurts.



You’re the brightest star in a pocketful of skies.
My colored picture in a world of black and white,
my only dream come true in a restless winter night.


Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.



If I've learned anything in life, it is that sometimes things get in your path and you have a choice: you can either smash right into them, or you can adjust and move around, but you have to do one or the other in order to move forward. -Gossip Girl

i believe in karma.
what you give is what you get.
you can't appreciate real love
until you've really been burned.
the grass is greener on the other side.
and you don't know what you've got
until you have to say goodbye.

Life can only be understood
backwards, but it must be lived forwards.<3

you're only brave until you're scared.
you're only unique until compared.

"Today is the tomorrow you
were worried about yesterday."

because you're young, you're torn between
a world of hate and a world of dreams;
so much to lose, so much to gain;
so much to fight for, so much to change.

Dry your eyes, clear your
mind, you just gotta take it
one day at a time. Dust off your
heart, take it off the shelf, you
gotta remember to love yourself

But love, I've come to understand, is more than three words mumbled before bedtime. Love is sustained by action, a pattern of devotion in the things we do for each other every day.

Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Somethings hurts for you, yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted. A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. and most of us live somewhere in the middle.

The gem cannot be polished without friction,
nor man perfected without trials.
-Chinese proverb

You are every reason, every hope and every dream that I've ever had. And no matter what happens to us in the future, every day spent with you was the best day of my life.
-The Notebook, Nicholas Sparks

There is never an ending, just new beginnings. The past makes you who you are but won't predict who you'll be.  You choose who you'll become.

You know, whenever anyone says something really funny
and I laugh I always look around to see if you think
it's funny too. Even when you are not there, I look around.
-greys anatomy

There`s that occasional night
where you just break down & cry,
cause you know that no matter what ;
things will never be the same.

When we were little, we had dreams
of being big rockstars and doctors.
Now life has changed, and those
dreams have faded. Now we're just
hoping we make it.
