love's not like math.
it's not black&white
it's somewhere in between
but there's not an answer that is right. <3

summer of 06.
shooting stars. secret wishes.
summer love. midnight kisses <3

You truly know youre in love
when they make you so mad youll want to kill him,
yet at the same time would rather
give up your own life to preserve his.

Everyday's a fashion show and the halls are our runways.
We're your mediocre teen actors reading from a script.
We're overworked and well rehearsed, underpaid and self absorbed.
But one thing's for sure
you're going to see our names in lights someday.
Haven't you heard? We're the next big things. We go to all the
right parties and know all the right things to say, hang out with
all the right people, party all night and sleep all day.
There's only one question we need answered.
Who are we pretending to be today?

now who'd of ever thought that we'd both be here tonight.
and the world looks so much brighter with you by my side.
i know that something has changed.
never felt this way - i know it's for real <3

whoever said
"what you don't know can't hurt you"
was a complete & total moron.
cause for most people i know,
not knowing is the worst feeling in the world <|3

At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict, or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child, or a parent. - Barbara Bush

Spend your life here investing in people, making memories, having good times with them and sharing yourself, then you never really do go away. I mean, you're not physically here, but you know, you're here, you're up here. But if you spend your time working and you spend your time trying to make money, you don't make those memories, you don't live on inside somebody after you're gone.

you think eating carpet lint is fun.
wait until you fall in love <3

no matter how hard we try to ignore it or try to deny it
eventually the lies fall away, whether we like it or not.
but here's the truth about the truth - it hurts.
so, we lie.
lying is bad, or so we're told constantly from birth.
honesty is the best policy, the truth shall set you free,
i chopped down the cherry tree. whatever. the fact is lying is a necessity.
we lie to ourselves because the truth, the truth freaking hurts.
++ grey's anatomy

Maybe it's just an act ; maybe you still do think of me often..in stealing moments, or at night when you can't fall asleep. Wondering if I was wondering.

love is a marathon.
that's why you get tired so fast of everyone.
so slow down and pace yourself cause when it's good,
it's a long, long open road <3
++ teddy geiger

so just live, have a wonderful time & make mistakes.
but never second guess where you've been,
where you are, and most of all where you're going.
++ sex and the city

the cracks in the concrete just remind us,
that you'll fall - no matter how strong you are <3

love & heartache.
a writer's two best friends.

i realize now that when your heart breaks,
you gotta fight like hell to make sure your still alive,
because you are. and the pain you feel, it's life.
the confusion and fear - that's there to remind you
that somewhere out there, there's something better,
and that something is worth fighting for <3

you never think the last time is the last time.
you never think there will be more.
you think you will have forever. but you don't.
++ grey's anatomy

i know i'll never be the girl with the perfect hair
or be able to wear white without spilling anything on it,
but it's okay <3
++ sex && the city

sometimes we just don't appreciate those people who really care for us
until they leave us until we lose them ; then we regret.
outer beauty does not matter. it's the inner that counts.
it's better to tell someone how much you love them
rather than not to tell them and lose them.
love is when we fight til the very last mintue to show
and tell someone how much we really do truly love them <3

hes the kind of boy who i can see falling asleep with. the kind of boy who wont mind if i eat all the yellow skittles & leave the green ones. he wont care that i hate wearing shoes or that i dont have the perfect manners. hes the kind of boy who will take the long way to class just so he can walk with me. the kind of boy who will mouth "i love you" in the middle of class. he wont care that i talk too fast, & laugh too much. he sees past all the stupid things i do, he sees who i truely am....& he loves me no matter what.

once & awhile a girl gets lucky. she'll have a bestfriend & a boyfriend... but if shes really lucky, she'll find both in one person. <3

and maybe it's that she's just scared.
because all the guys in the past that said
they would be there no matter what - left. <|3

what i have with him is worth it.
it is worth every lonely night, every tear i cry from missing him.
& the pain i feel from not having him close.
it is worth it cause he is my one and only.
when i picture myself years from now, i see only him.
no matter how painful distance can be,
not having him in my life would be so much worse <3

i used to be such a strong person
but a lot has changed, a lot has happened.
and i've had to deal with so much more than
any person should ever have to go through.
and you know something? i finally broke.
everything around me crashed and i fell right with it.
i'm not that strong anymore, and i
can't handle this anymore <|3

when you and your friends start to drift apart,
it doesn't mean something's wrong.
you are becoming different people.
meaning you will have different friends. <3
++ teen people

It doesn't take much
for someone to hold on
when they should let go.
Love makes us all deaf
to the voices in our heads,
but it lets us feel the strength
of our hearts.

now there is no way to change this.
so i just photographed & framed it.
it's hanging in a hallway that we have no right to walk back down.

i'm leaning on this broken fence between past & present tense.
& i'm losing all those stupid games i'd swore i'd never play.
but it almost feels okay.

& we'll discover new music together. We'll call it our band, and nobody else will know about it. We'll fall in love while listening to it during long drives, while squeezing each other's hands to the beat. <3

take my hand & lets walk across the slippery ice. i promise we'll make it, but if we dont. we'll fall together.

its not until your broken that you realize what you're made of.

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I will bend for you,but I will not break

she said "all I want is to be happy"
he said. "isn`t that a little selfish?"

it's so cute to see someone with a
relationship holding hands, flirting, just
being in love. & even though it might be something
you don't have, it's something that
one day you will find. <3

one day you`ll wake up and realize
you really do love her. & she`ll be
waking up next to the one who
already knew.

"if the person you are talking to doesnt appear to

be listening, be patient. it may simply be that he has

a small piece of fluff in his ear." - winnie the pooh *

the ones you love the most are the ones
that always seem to hurt you in the worst ways

i strapped my memories to my back,
I'm leaving.
i'm already gone.
and i was on a train
somewhere wishing sweet stings to you
to make you never forget
the poetry in wanting.
i want those days to hold you.

you know when we fight and i hang
up & you don't call me back? that hurts
me the most because it makes me wonder..
if we were face to face & we were
fighting, would you just let me go
when i walked away? =/

maybe he's starting to see the real girl. the one
behind an ambitious, quiet, & self-conscious girl.
the one who loves her friends more than life itself
& laughs about pretty much everything `cause she
can - & that's what she thinks life's all about:
h a v i n g t h e t i m e o f y o u r l i f e =)

i've discovered a secret to life. what you need is
just to find somebody else who can fill that deep
aching hole inside that you are always
trying to kick dirt over & pretend it isn't there.

the other night, she looked outside & saw the moon & said
"i hope that somewhere, he's looking at the same moon."
little did she know that at that moment, he saw the stars..
except in another girl's eyes.

seth: no girl wants to be alone on valentine's day.
ryan: how do you know?
seth: because inside, i have the heart of a 14 year old girl.

my friend once told me that love is like playing the piano. first you must play by the rules, & then you must forget the rules and play from your heart. <33

If having things turn out the way you want them to is a measure of a successful life then some would say I was a failure. The important thing is not to be bitter over lifes disappointments. Learn to let go of the past. And recognize that everyday wont be silence and when you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair, remember its only in the black of night that you can see the stars and those stars lead you back home. So dont be afraid to make mistakes, stumble, fall, cause most of the time the greatest rewards come from the things that scare you the most. Maybe youll get everything you wish for, maybe youll get more than you could ever imagine. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end the journey is the destination. - Whitey, One Tree Hill

A teenager is a person who can't remember to walk the dog, but never forgets a phone number ; a weight watcher who goes on a diet by giving up candy bars before breakfast ; a youngster who receives her allowance on Monday, spends it on Tuesday, & borrows it from her best friend on Wednesday ; someone who can hear her favorite singer three blocks away, but not her mother calling from the next room ; a whiz who can operate the latest computer without a lesson, but can't make a bed ; a student who spends twelve minutes studying history & twelve hours studying for her driver's license ; an enthusiast who has the energy to bike four miles, but is usually too tired to dry the dishes; a young woman who loves the cat & tolerates the brother ; a romantic who never falls in love more than once a week ; a budding beauty who never smiles until her braces come off ; a boy who can sleep till noon on any Saturday he suspects the lawn needs mowing ; & an original thinker who is positive that her mother was never a teenager.

it's amazing. some people.. they just say these small things. one sentence, & it changes the way you feel about them in an instant. small words that can hurt you so much or make you fall deeply in love forever. it changes everything, & nothing between you two is ever really the same again. even if they don't know, it still happens

Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

FRieNDS are the most important part of your life.
treasure the tears, treasure the laughter,
but most of all treasure the memories

i think we dream so we don't have to be apart for so long. if we're in each other's dreams, we can be together all the time.
-- Calvin & Hobbes

"Someone out there is meant to be the love of your life. Your best friend. Your soulmate. The one you can tell your dreams to. He'll smile at you when you tell him, but he'll never laugh at your heart. He'll brush the hair out of your eyes & send you flowers when you least expect it. He'll call you to tell you goodnight before you get into bed or just because he's thinking about you. He'll be bursting to talk to you each morning, just to hear the sound of your voice. He'll look into your eyes & tell your your the most beautiful girl he's ever seen & for the first time in your life, you'll believe it." --- Dawson's Creek

i've been up all night
counting days that all went wrong.
i opened my bedroom window.
i wish this pain was gone.
there are no useful drugs to escape
from feeling numb.
i remember an amazing birthday.
i remember when i was young.

sometimes you just feel
everything and nothing all at once.
sometimes you'll find yourself smiling
while missing something at the same time.
at time you can absouletly love a person,
all the while wanting to hate them.
life comes without guarantees.
except that smiling will brighten your face,
laughing will enhance your eyes,
and falling in love will change your life.

At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just not facing the truth. Some are evil men at war with good. And some are good struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world. Six billion souls and sometimes all you need is one. - Peyton, One Tree Hill

when you're comfortable with someone you love, the silence is the best <3 -- BRiTNEY SPEARS

You know, everyone always thought so highly of our relationship. They couldn't stop telling me how different we were and how it looked like we really loved each other. But now that we've had our few fights and disagreements, it's like we're just like the rest. And oh, we're not really in love. You know what, it doesn't matter to me because as long as me and you both know that we're so in love and that we always will be, is enough to prove the world and everybody else wrong.

the funny thing is ..
[ he doesn't even know what he's doing to me on the inside.]

& i said "i've gotta be honest,
i've been waiting for you all my life."
for so long i thought i was asylum bound,
but just seeing you makes me think twice.
& being with you here makes me sane,
i fear i'll go crazy if you leave my side.

it was cold; my hands were shaking. & i stepped in front of you just so you could wrap your arms around me as i said "let's pretend winter isn't here." as i buried my head in your shoulder you said "let's pretend the snow isn't the only thing falling fast."

I trust: the sun will rise in the morning, the moon will come out at night, and both are lighting my way. I trust: my complexion will never be perfect, my reflection never quite what I want... but someone will think I am beautiful.

Life isnt about keeping score. Its not about how many people call you and its not about who youve dated are dating or havent dated at all. It isnt about who youve kissed, what sport you play or which guy or girl likes you. Its not about your shoes, ot your hair, or the color of your skin, or where you live, or go to school. In fact, its not about grades, money, clothes, or colleges that accept you or not. Life isnt about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone, and its not about how accepted or unnaccepted you are. Life just isnt about that!
But life is about who you love & hurt. Its about how you feel about yourself. Its about trust, hapiness, and compassion.. its about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance and building confidence. Its about what you say and what you mean. Its about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. Most of all, it is about choosing to use your life to touch someone elses in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise. This is what life's about.

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

there are going to be times in your
life when all you wanna do is lay down
in the middle of the road during rush hour.
just know that no matter how many
times you feel like laying there i will
always be here to block traffic.

don't fall for the one who kisses your ass,
fall for the one who pushes your buttons & pisses you off.
because love isn't supposed to be easy.

but i grew out of that phase
looking at these broken photographs of people
looking glossed just like the way
i still remember a summer ago

another hint in her away message, over his head.

no matter what you do, i will always be in your corner, rooting for you <3
