Love when you can, cry when you have to, be who you must, that's a part of the plan. Trust isn't something that's spoken and love's never wrong when it's real. Remember why you came and while you're alive, experience. The only truly painful goodbyes are the ones that are never said and never explained. Let people talk behind your back, it just reminds you you`re a step ahead. Experience is a name everyone gives to their mistakes. It`s amazing how little you can put up with from people you like, and how little you can take from the people you don't. Life is full of choices, if you have the guts to go for it. That`s why I get immediately bored with anyone`s complaining about how boring their life is or how bad their town is. Fucking leave and go somewhere else. Or don't. -Henry Rollins I don't know why we all hang onto something we know we're better off letting go. It`s like we`re scared to lose what we don`t really even have. Some of us say we`d rather have that something than nothing, but the truth is, to have it halfway is about ten times harder than not having it at all. 
Ultimately, he`s going to find out. How you chew, how you sip, how you dance, how you smell at every point in the day. The fact that most of your friends are shallow. That you hate sitting in an aisle seat. How you don`t really like chocolate, how you get hyper when you travel, how certain games or shows make you really happy. How cranky you get when you`re tired, how you think you look bad in all of your pictures. He`s going to know everything about you. And you know what? He`s still going to love you. No matter what, once in your life, someone will hurt you. That someone will take all that you are, and rip it into pieces and they won`t even watch where the pieces land. But through the breakdown, you`ll learn something about yourself. You`ll learn that you`re strong. And no matter how hard they destroy you, that you can conquer anyone. I used to think you had to be like everybody else to succeed. But I learned people will love you for you. The key is to be comfortable in your own skin. You have to love yourself. -Jordin Sparks I think you`re scared just like the rest of us. But I think you`re smart enough to see that one day when you look back from whatever big job or big house, or whatever it is that you got, that when you look back at this time, I dare you to beat it. I dare you. -Friday Night Lights This is about knowing the difference between right and wrong, between the truth and a lie. And if you can`t tell the difference, then you can`t trust anyone. And if you can`t trust, you can`t love. -Georgia Rule Don`t re-think things. Because usually, your first thought is what you really want to do. So just follow it through. This is life. People will screw you over. You`ll fight with your family. You`ll witness things that will change you forever. You`ll blame new lovers for things old lovers did. You`ll lose best friends you thought would always be there. You`ll come to realize that everyone has a past. You`ll cry, you`ll laugh and you`ll embarass yourself. But then, you`ll find your very own moment where none of that matters; where you can sit back and realize that shit happens to the people who can handle it and that this is who you are, and that no one should want to change you, including yourself. She`s chosen to pursue her life`s dreams, and that`s one of the beauties of living in this country. Freedom to change your life if you don`t like the way it`s going. -Summer People ; Elin Hilderbrand You can`t live a positive life with a negative mind set. Sometimes the most horrible days can teach you something, even when you didn`t want to learn it. 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. Tragedy blows through your life like a tornado, uprotting everything, creating chaos. You wait for the dust to settle, and then you choose. You can live in the wreckage and pretend it`s still the mansion you remember. Or you can crawl from the rubble and slowly rebuild. Because after disaster strikes, the important thing is that you move on. Beauty is grace and confidence. I`ve learned to accept and appreciate what nature gave me. -Lindsay Lohan Life and love will go on. On a sunny day, the sounds of summer take me away. Happiness is flowing this way; beauty is on the sweetest display. | | |

Here's to fireworks and fireflies and sharing looks and making eyes, the kind that lead to laughs and sighs when spread across a summer sky. What's so wrong with sing-alongs to melodies from July songs? A crowded street can be a quiet place when you're walking alone. Now you think that you're the only one who doesn't have to try then you won't have to fail, if you're afraid to fly. Then I guess you never will. We can never manage to live in our own time. We constantly live in the past or in the future. Never can I be happy simply just to be here now, no, I must spend my hours looking forward to tomorrow, looking forward to school, looking forward to the end of school. Or I am stuck in childhood years, remembering and wistful. It is such a shame that we can never love this moment. I think everybody needs a place to go when things become too much. A place where the world is the way you want it to be and if you had a choice, it's how you would've created it. Cheers to lost love and broken hearts and no matter what you can never fully forget it. -Postsecret When you finally get something good, enjoy it, keep it, cherish it. Don’t go on trying to look for something better. I have a long list of things to say, but I'll leave it at, you amaze me. I think my ability to love somene has progressed a lot because I have learned to love myself more. And when you learn to accept yourself, and the more you learn to be okay with yourself, the easier it is to love somebody and allow them to love you. -Seventeen Magazine Why waste a second not loving who you are? Those little imperfections make you beautiful. -Natasha Bedingfield We were just there together, and that was enough. Don't go away again. I want to be more than a phone call at four am. Seems like every time you come back home it's just to steal my heart and leave. Don't go away again. I want to be more than a story to tell your friends. Seems like every time you come back home it's just to make me fall again. I would rather write her a song, because songs don't wait to resolve, and because songs mean so much to her. Stories wait for endings, but songs are brave things bold enough to sing when all they know is darkness. These words, like most words, will be written next to midnight, between hurricane and harbor, as both claim to save her. | | |

I guess that's what I thought; that leaving something behind would erase it from memory forever. It doesn't. If something touched you that deeply, it never goes away without a fight
Where there is love, there is pain. -Spanish Proverb We need to have things taken away before we recognize how good things are. -Mr. Rosenthal Looking back at what I’ve been through, I’d be a complete mess if I didn’t have you. -Friends I just know when you’ve got a good thing, you hang onto it. With both hands. And if someone wants to take it from you, you make sure they pry it from your cold dead fingers. -The OC Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two. -Captain Corelli's Mandolin I could laugh, it's such a lie -- That's what living in this world is - A Big Lie. An illusion where everyone looks the other way and pretends that nothing unpleasant exists at all, no goblins of the dark, no ghosts of the soul. -Libba Bray; A Great And Terrible Beauty That's the only reason people get angry; because they're hurt. People only get angry to cover up the hurt. When I'm around you, I get this feeling in the pit of my stomach. It's like I want to run away as fast as I can because you radiate something great, something that's sometimes too powerful to stand. You're just that beautiful.
I gave you my heart. So, when we fall short, I know we'll be okay. You're my forever. you're my always. -One Tree Hill The first time I saw you, my heart fell. The second time I saw you, my heart fell. The third time, fourth time, fifth time and every time since, my heart has fallen. When I see you, the world stops. It stops and all that exists for me is you. There's nothing else. No noise, no people, no thoughts or worries. No yesterday, no tomorrow. The world stops, and it's a beautiful place, and there is only you. Just you. You should have a guy that makes you feel happier, not upset. I don't think that's too much to ask for. -The Hills Take the pain out of love, and then love won't exist. I can`t really offer you much, but I can offer you that empty spot on the carpet right next to me. I can offer you late nights of you and me sitting together. I can share with you my mind, my words, my music, and maybe I'll move you just like you move me. Eventually you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is. -Gary Zukav
A lot of people say they want to get out of pain, and I'm sure that's true, but they aren't willing to make healing a high priority. They aren't willing to look inside to see the source of their pain in order to deal with it. -Lindsay Wagner
There is something beautiful about all scars of whatever nature. A scar means the hurt is over, the wound is closed and healed, done with. -Harry Crews
Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars. -Henry Van Dyke You don't need to know everything in life; just the things you need to be happy.
Trust that little voice in your head that says, "Wouldn't it be interesting if.." And then do it.

| I had unleashed my fury and it had come back to me, unrequited. What did I expect? An apology, a declaration of love? I could have not been that foolish. That's all anyone wants from someone else. Not love itself but the knowledge that love is there. I was afraid to tell you some things, but some things all find a way to get told. Hearing it from the lips of somebody else must have knocked the wind out of your sweet chest. Fuck that. What if this life was all there was? When I got to the end, and it was gone, what if my only experiences were sitting in libraries and turning down offers for dates? A general feeling of apprehension is a human experience, sure, but I'd got my share of that one already. What about terror and guilt and fear and excitement? What if I died without ever realizing that I was going to die? I wanted to gather up everything I just said and stuff it back into my mouth. But once you've said something you can't unsay it. Your words are out there, aren't they? Buzzing around in the quiet of the room so you can hear them echoing back to you. What a difference a day made, twenty four little hours brought the sun and the flowers, where there used to be rain. My yesterday was blue dear. Today I'm a part of you, dear. My lonely nights are through, dear. Since you said you were mine, oh, what a difference a day made. Carry on, love is coming, love is coming to us all. All these places have their moments with lovers and friends, I still can recall. Some are dead and some are living in my life, I've loved them all. It never gets any easier: people you love not being there anymore. Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And of course, stability isn't nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand. A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved. No explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant. I've had my share of broken dreams, and more than a couple of falls. And when chasing what I thought were moonbeams, I've run into a couple of walls. But in looking back at the lessons I've learned and the mountains I've gotten to climb, I'll be the first to say I wouldn't have done it any other way. I've been trying to get down to the heart of the matter but my will gets weak and my thoughts seem to scatter, but I think it's about forgiveness...forgiveness, even if you don't love me anymore. I don't believe in destiny or the guiding hand of fate. I don't believe in forever, or love as a mystical state. I don't believe in the stars or the planets or angels watching from above. But I believe there's a ghost of a chance we can find someone to love and make it last. It's that feeling you get right in your core, when you look around, look at all the people you're surrounded by and realize that these people are home. The roles that we construct are constructed because we feel that they will help us to survive and also, of course, because they fulfill something in our personalities and one does not, therefore, cease playing a role simply because one has begun to understand it. All roles are dangerous. The world tends to trap you in the role you play and it is always extremely hard to maintain a watchful, mocking distance between oneself as one appears to be and oneself as one actually is. Nobody is perfect. Perfection is a lack of flaws and a lack of flaws is a flaw in itself, which makes the perfect person in question, have a flaw. I need to pour out this expansive dose of words. I can't explain. I need to be alone. I know the timing isn't great but these things, you just can't plan. I need a little time so I can find myself again cause I got buried underneath all the things they think you are. And I'm too tired to pretend it doesn't hurt to be left out. I had a pocket full of dreams, but I gave them all to you. Now I think I want them back, so can you tell me if I'm crazy or confused? Don't ever change the way you are. I've never loved anyone more. You're here. Of course you're here. No matter what I do, no matter what I say, you are there. Always. But, still, I am vaguely curious, because this is a very strange place for you to be. You pass a bunch of people in a day - people in their cars, in the grocery store, waiting for their coffee at an espresso stand. You look at apartment buildings and streets, the comings and goings, elevators crawling up and down and each person has their own story going on right then, with its cast of characters; they've got their own frustrations and their happiness and the things they're looking foward to and dreading. And sometimes you wonder if you've crossed paths with any of them before without knowing it or will one day cross their path again. But sometimes, too, you have this little feeling of knowing, this fuzzy, gnawing sense that someone will become a major something in your life. You know that theirs will be a life you will enter and become a part of. And now I'm thinking that everything is okay. I've got a whole heart and sunlight on my face, I believe we write our own stories and each time we think we know the ending, we don't. Perhaps luck exists somewhere between the world of planning, the world of chance and in peace that comes from knowing you just can't know it all. You know, life's funny that way. Once you let go of the wheel, you might end up right where you belong. I'm here and I love you. I have always loved you, and I will always love you. I was thinking of you, seeing your face in my mind, every second that I was away. When I told you that I didn't want you, it was the very blackest kind of blasphemy. -Edward Cullen The right thing isn't always real obvious. Sometimes the right thing for one person is the wrong thing for someone else. So good luck figuring that out. -Charlie Swan, Eclipse | | |
| It is the greatest shot of adrenaline to be doing what you have wanted to do so badly. You almost feel like you could fly without the plane. We could make this into more than words we speak. This could make us into anything. It could make us grow and become what we'll be. I'm alone, and it doesn't matter what job I have or what I do or what I don't do or what friends I have. He's not here. I mean, you're alone no matter what. So we can stay like this forever. And we'll never miss a party because we keep them going constantly. And we'll never have to listen to anyone about anything because it's all about anything because it's all been done and it's all been said. We're the coolest kids and we take what we get. Some things don't last forever, but some do. Like a good song, a good book, or a good memory that you can take out and unfold in your darkest times, pressing down the corners and peering close, hoping that you still do recognize the person that you see there. That night, I realized how very different we are. You’re so resigned to what life has given you, so accepting of all the misery and pain. You don’t even think about it you just take the hits without questions. I can’t decide if you’re wise or ridiculous. That boy means more to me then the stars do to the sky. A history, like a life, is just what a person chooses to remember. You put on a good show but I'd be willing to bet that you're suffering more than you let anyone see. -Twilight Honey, love isn't a feeling. It's an action. Love isn't staring at the neighborhood boys playing basketball, or flirting with the one you think is the cutest. Love is saying it. Just flat out saying it. 'I love you'. The action of telling someone and caring about someone so much that you would give anything to be with them for the rest of your life. See that old man and woman on the bench over there? Darling, that's love. When you can stand each other when you're both that age, that's love. Sometimes we take for granted the people in our lives that mean so much and when we finally realize that, it can be too late. Take advantage of every minute you have, hold onto and cherish every second. Have no regrets and never forget those that made you into who you are. There are so many stars today that don't realize the impact they have on young people. Being a superstar is great, as long as you can be a positive role model. -Brian Littrell When two people love each other but they just can't seem to get things right, how do you know when enough is enough? -The Mexican It doesn't matter what you say about someone once they're gone. What matters is how you treat them when they're still here. -David Silver; Beverly Hills 90210 You can love him, but you can't save him. -Kelly Taylor, Beverly Hills 90210 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. | | |
