Friends are an integral part of your life, but every friend you have must live life at their own pace. When the time comes & they must leave you, there is no need to grieve over their parting from your life. It is the very essence of life that it should be so. But it hurts nonetheless and we grieve nonetheless, but we hold them in our hearts forever. Always cherish the joy, laughter, memories and love that they have brought into your lives. Always remember them with a warm smile for what they have given you.

 Perhaps it is good to have a beautiful mind, but an even greater gift is to discover a beautiful heart.

 Kat: I don't like to do what people expect. Then they expect it all the time and they get disappointed when you change.
~ 10 Things I Hate About You

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

~ Lewis Carroll

(5)

 The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it, because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.

~ Chuck Palahniuk

(6)

 If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character...Would you slow down? Or speed up?

~ Chuck Palahniuk

(7)

 We're so busy watching out for what's just ahead of us that we don't take time to enjoy where we are.

~ Calvin and Hobbes

 “You can't just turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood.”
“What mood is that?”
“Last-minute panic.”

 There's no half-singing in the shower, you're either a rock star or an opera diva.

~ Josh Groban

 Just remember, the same as a spectacular Vogue magazine, remember that no matter how close you follow the jumps: Continued on page whatever. No matter how careful you are, there's going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn't experience it all. There's that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should've been paying attention. Well, get used to that feeling. That's how your whole life will feel some day. This is all practice. None of this matters. We're just warming up.

I would LOVE comments & subscribers :)

UPDATE! It's been quite some time. But here are quotes & icons/photography/whatever :)

(1)

The greatest thing in life is finding someone who knows all your mistakes and weaknesses, and still finds you completely amazing.

(2)

The structure of world peace cannot be the work of one man, or one party, or one nation… it must be a peace which rests on the cooperative effort of the whole world.

(3)
Each moment is a place you have never been.

(4)
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; that’s why they call it the present.
~ Eleanor Roosevelt

(5)
Maybe we need to stop analyzing the past, stop planning the future, stop figuring out how we feel, stop deciding exactly what we want, and just see what happens.

(6)
The bad things in life open your eyes to the good things you weren't paying attention to before.



(7)
Trying to forget someone you love is like trying to remember someone you never knew.

(8)
Live for the moments you can’t put into words.



(9)
Everything will be okay in the end.
If it’s not okay, it’s not the end.

(10)
Heaven’s not a place that you go when you die. It’s that moment in life when you actually feel alive.

I would love comments on what you think :)

Thanks so much everyone !

Heyyy! I finally have an update for you all. Long time, I know. Sorry about the wait. I came back On Saturday, late night. And I've been kind of sick since. But I have an update now, so please comment and subscribe if you like what you seee :)

We take a risk when we open our hearts because the truth is, if we open our hearts, we will get hurt. You can’t open your heart and not have some hurt because you’re in a human experience. Even if it’s the love of your life and you have many wonderful, deepening, growing, powerful years together, it’s a human experience and that person will pass over. Love takes courage. Be courageous.
 ~ Mary Manin Morrissey 

(2)
         Someday everything will all make perfect sense. So for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason.

(3)
Friends are like walls. Sometimes you lean on them and sometimes it’s just enough to know they’re there.

(4)
Never take a person for granted. Hold every person close to your heart, because you might wake up one day and realize that you’ve lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones.

(5)
Challenges are what make life interesting;
overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.
~ Joshua J. Marine

(6)
Those who cannot feel the littleness of great things in themselves are apt to overlook the greatness of little things in others.

(7)
Remember tonight, for it is the beginning of always. A promise. Like a reward for persisting through life so long alone. A belief in each other and the possibility of love. A decision to ignore, simply rise above the pain of the past. A covenant, which at once binds two souls and yet severs prior ties. A celebration of the chance taken and the challenge that lies ahead. For two will always be stronger than one, like a team braced against the tempest civil world. And love will always be the guiding force in our lives. For tonight is mere formality. Only an announcement to the world of feelings long held. Promises made long ago. In the sacred spaces of our hearts.

 (8)
I thought I knew you. But I guess it's easier to see what we want than to look for the truth.

(9)
There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroad, afraid, confused, without a roadmap. The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days. Of course when faced with the unknown, most of us prefer to turn around and go back. But once in a while, people push on to something better, something found just beyond the pain of going it alone, and just beyond the bravery and courage it takes to let someone in, or give someone a second chance, something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream. Because it's only when you're tested, that you discover who you are, that you discover who you can be. The person you can be does exist, beyond the hard work, faith, belief, and beyond the heartache, and fear of what lies ahead.

(10)
There are many things in life that will catch your eye. But only a few will catch your heart....
~ Ben Crenshaw

You know it's been said that we just don't recognize the significant moments of our lives while they are happening. We grow complacent with ideas, or things or people and we take them for granted and it's usually not until that thing is about to be taken away from you that you've realized how wrong you've been, that you've realized how much you need it, how much you love it.

(2)
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 now 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.

(3)
There are three kinds of people in this world, those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wondered what happened.

(4)
"Quality is not an act. It is a habit." 
~  Aristotle

(5)
When a defining moment comes along, you can do one of two things. Define the moment, or let the moment define you.
 ~ Kevin Costner

(6)
There is no telling how many miles
you will have to run while
chasing a dream.

(7)
Ships in harbour are safe,
but that's not what ships are built for.
~ John Shedd

(8)
For everything you have missed, you have gained something else;
And for everything you gain, you lose something else.
It is about your outlook towards life. You can either regret or rejoice.

(9)
The most difficult phase of your life
is not when no one understands you;
It is when you don't understand yourself.

 

(10)
We make them cry who care for us.
We cry for those who never care for us.
And we care for those who will never cry for us.

Update for Wednesday starts here:

Far away in the sunshine
are my highest inspirations.
I may not reach them, but I can look up and see the Beauty.
believe in them and try to follow
where they lead.
~ Louisa May Alcott

(12)
Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them.
~ David Hume

(13)
The main interest in life and work is to become someone else that you were not in the beginning.
If you knew when you began a book what you would say at the end, do you think you would have the courage to write it?
What is true for writing and for a love relationship is also true for life.
The game is worthwhile insofar as we don't know what will be at the end.
~ Michael Foucault [very beautiful quote]

(14)
You gain strength, courage and confidence
by every experience in which you stop to look fear in the face.
~ Eleanor Roosevelt

(15)
Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on...
after others have let go.

(16)
I don't believe in circumstances.
The people who really make it in this world are the ones who get up,
and look for the circumstances they want.
And if they can't find them,
they make them.
~ Unknown

(17)
Time is like a river.
You cannot touch the same water twice,
because the flow that has passed will never pass again.

I'm leaving for a week's vacation on Saturday. If I don't get to do another update before I leave, then I will most likely add to this update. Alrighty? So keep checking back for quotes or icons or BOTH :)

EDIT: I know it's Wednesday, but I just felt like adding more things onto this post. I'll probably keep going with it until Friday... so as I said, keep checking back! Thanks everyone.
