Life gave me lemonade
and I can't imagine why.
Born on a sunny day,
beneath a tangerine sky.
I live life without pretending.
I'm a sucker for happy endings
Thanks for the lemonade.

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.

Don't be so quick to judge me,
You only see what I choose to show.

it's great to have someone you know so well, that you
don't even have to verbalize what you're thinking most
of the time. the other person just gets it, picks up on it.

I have all these feelings, these weird feelings, & I've had this burning desire to express them. But I can't. I just can't. And these feelings, they're trapped. They're like stuck in my heart & I just feel so lonely.

Made you look.

If you want to kiss,
you should kiss.

When you truly care for someone, you don't look for faults. You don't look for answers. You don't look for mistakes. Instead, you fight the mistakes. You accept the faults & you overlook excuses. The measure of love is when you love without measure. There are rare chances that you'll meet the person you love & who loves you in return. So once you have it, don't ever let go. The chance might never come your way again.

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

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, and 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.

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

I lay there upon my blankets, and in the still of the darkness, I picture you and wonder where you are, what you're doing right now, and wishing whatever it is, I could somehow be a part of it.

"the reason so many people never get
anywhere in life is because when opportunity
knocks, they are out in the backyard looking
for four-leaf clovers"

honestly, I wish you never
let go of me when you held
me in your arms. it gave me
that feeling that maybe you'd
be one to stick around just a
little bit longer ...

It's better to cross the line &
suffer the consequences
than to just stare at the line
for the rest of your life.

put your troubles into music
and we'll dance them away

Did it ever occur to you that maybe, you're so caught up
in making the right choice that you won't stop to consider
that maybe there isn't a right or wrong choice,
there are just a lot of choices?

your last words to me,
are on constant replay in my head.
why do i always hope, wish
& dream for the chance to
say the things i never said,
tell you how i really feel about you.

after all, it's all kinds of things
that make up life, right? the big,
like falling in love and spending
time with your family. or the little,
like blow drying your hair,
applying concealer just for a boy,
and cursing those magazine inserts.
it all counts, it has to.

Practice safe lunch; use a condiment.

there will always be that one boy
who loves you because you're not
like anyone else.

Just be yourself, it doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else
-the middle by: jimmy eat world-

These words did not come easily.
Still, you know I had to write them
down.You must know what you mean
to me. I wish that you could always
be around. I hope you find everything
you are worthy of. I'm gonna miss you.

I used to listen to it all the time when I was little and thinking about grown-up things. I would go to my bedroom window and stare at my reflection in the glass and the trees behind it and just listen to the song for hours. I decided then that when I met someone I thought was as beautiful as the song, I should give it to that person. And I didn’t mean beautiful on the outside. I meant beautiful in all ways.

I remember friends. I remember the calm night air. I remember electricity soaring, the innocent desire. I remember the disappointment, the substitute. I remember fireworks, the excitement. I remember when that was enough.

-two pixels(little, sometimes annoying, pictures at the bottom of all my posts)  today!! because i didn't have enough icons

-i don't update much lately, did yah notice? it's basically because my life is filled with EXCELLENT, FUN, VALUED things to do. ((maybe in opposite world))  it's just because of homework, and reading, and baseball and all the other normal-boring life activities. but never worry, i haven't forgotten all of you in my race against the world

-warning: zebras are featured in this post. i discovered one or two while i was creating and simply thought, 'wowie, zebras'.

The only dream worth having
is to dream that you'll live
while you are alive,
and die only when you are dead.

Sometimes you have to be strong for yourself. You have to know that you are a good person and a good friend. What is meant to be will end up good if what is not won't. Relationships are worth fighting for but sometimes you can't be the only one fighting. At times, people need to fight for you. If they don't, you must move on and realize what you gave them was more than they were willing to give you. Hopefully, people realize great things when they come around and don't lose something real. Always fight, until you can't anymore, and then be fought for.

I just think there's more to you and I want to see that side of you that no one else knows.

i want a guy who saves my texts
just to look at when he misses me

And it's been ten days without you in my reach,
and the only time I've touched you is in my sleep.
But time has changed nothing at all. You're still the
only one that feels like home. I've tried cutting the
ropes. Tried letting you go. But you're still
the only one that feels like home.

It's impossible to ignore you.

imagine a city where graffiti wasn't illegal, a city where
everybody could draw wherever they liked. where every
street was awash with a million colors and little phrases.

Don't let the 'if' in 'life' hold you back.

I have to face the truth,
that no one could ever look at me
like you do, like I'm something worth
holding onto. There's times I think of leaving,
but it's something I'll never do. Because
you can do better than me, but I can't
do better than you.

You're not living until you're living crazy.

and i think maybe the worst feeling is
being forgotten by the one person you
couldn't ever forget about.

Any boy who would shake his
booty with me automatically
has my heart

we spent most of our time talking
about nothing, but I just want to let
you know that all of these nothings
have meant so much more to me
than so many somethings.

Life is the ability to feel so happy, you think your insides are going to explode. It's being so upset or disappointed, you feel as if your stomach just dropped ten feet out of place. It's running so hard, you can barely breathe. It's the feeling of panic when you know you've been caught doing something wrong. It's having that sudden rush before you kiss someone you care about. It's opening your eyes and feeling them sting because you spent the whole night crying. It's letting people go because new ones come in, and all the while realizing that life doesn't have a purpose unless you let it.

You can't change the one you love.
You're not supposed to.

Take him & cut him out into little stars
& he will make the face of heaven so fine
that all the world will be in love with night.

how I wish you could see the potential, the potential
of you and me. it's like a book elegantly bound,
but in a language that you can't read.

i love how i can be a total dork
around you, and you will still make
me feel ABSOLUTELY amazing.

Bottom line is, even if you see them coming, you're not ready for the big moments.
No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does.
The big moments are gonna come, you can't help that.
It's what you do afterwards that counts, that's when you find out who you really are

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."

Nothing makes us so lonely as our secrets.
-Paul Tournier

In my opinion,
the best thing you can do is to find a person
who loves you for exactly for who you are.
Good mood, bad mood, ugly,
pretty, handsome, what have you,
the right person will still think
that the sun shines out your ass.
That’s the kind of person that’s worth sticking with.

Sometimes me think,
"What is friend?"
And then me think,
"Friend is what last
chocolate chip cookie is for."
