| God damn, I haven't posted in awhile. Sorry about that guys. I've been having problems lately and just can't muster up the initiative to update. I'm lacking on my inspiration, so I think this might be mostly a picture post today. Enjoy.
061. Hope is the most exciting thing in life. If you honestly believe that love is out there, it will come. And even if it doesn't come straight away there is still that chance all through your life that it will.
062. Turn things you've always wanted to do, into things you've done.
063. Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.
064. Have you ever wondered which hurts the most: saying something and wishing you had not, or saying nothing, and wishing you had?
065. Don't say you love me unless you really mean it, because I might do something crazy like believe it. | | |
| Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I haven't been feeling too well so I haven't had the initiative to post. Today, I'm not posting quotes, but lyrics to a song (well, it's kind of a song) that I thought has good advice. Sit back and enjoy Baz Luhrmann's "Everyone's Free to Wear Sunscreen".
Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '97. Wear sunscreen. If I could offer you one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience... I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh, nevermind, you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now, how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are NOT as fat as you imagine.
Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real toubles in life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing everyday that scares you. Sing. Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with your's. Floss.
Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself.
Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you suceed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements. Stretch.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives; some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't.
Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone.
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40. Maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either - your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's.
Enjoy your body, use it every way you can... don't be afraid of it, or what other people think of it... It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own. Dance... even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. Read the directions, even if you don't follow them. Do NOT read beauty magazines they will only make you feel UGLY.
Brother and sister together we'll make it through. Someday your spirit will take you and guide you there. I know you've been hurting, but I've been waiting to be there for you. And I'll be there just helping you out whenever I can.
Get to know your parents, you never know when they might be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings; they're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future
Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths. Prices will rise, Politicians will philander, you too will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children respected their elders. Respect your elders.
Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out. Don't mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia; dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts, and recycling it for more than it's worth. But trust me on the sunscreen. Everybody's free. Everybody's free.

| It's been a couple days since I've updated last. Too long, right? Sorry, I've been busy with school n' such. Today's theme will be movie quotes. Enjoy!
046. Beginnings are usually scary and endings are usually sad, but it's everything in between that makes it all worth living. -Hope Floats 047. The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return. -Moulin Rouge 048. I love you. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I've ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, everyday we are together is the greatest day of my life. I will always be yours. -The Notebook 049. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. -Ferris Bueller's Day Off 050. Don't forget. I'm just a girl standing in front of a boy... asking him to love her. -Notting Hill
051. Why are you trying so hard to fit in when you were born to stand out? -What A Girl Wants 052. I'm scared of everything. I'm scared of what I saw. I'm scared of what I did, of who I am. And most of all... I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life, the way I feel when I'm with you. -Dirty Dancing 053. The truth is... I gave my heart away a long time ago, my whole heart... and I never really got it back. -Sweet Home Alabama 054. We're women. We don't say what we want, but we reserve the right to be pissed off if we don't get it. -Sliding Doors 055. Sometimes I wish that I had never met you, so I could go to sleep at night not knowing there was someone like you out there. -Good Will Hunting
056. If you love someone... you say it, right then, out loud. Otherwise... the moment just passes you by. -My Best Friend's Wedding 057. Sometimes we love people so much that we have to be numb to it, because if we actually felt how much we loved them.. It would kill us. -Riding In Cars With Boys 058. And all the while I feel like I'm standing in the middle of a crowded room, screaming at the top of my lungs, and no one even looks up. -Titanic 059. Oh yes, the past can hurt. But, you can either run from it or, learn from it. -The Lion King 060. I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. I hate it, I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it that you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call. But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all. -10 Things I Hate About You

031. There comes a point in your life when you come to realize who really matters, who never did, and who always will. 032. The words that escape a friend's mouth are "I'll be there for you when you need me," but the words that are unheard from a true friend's heart are "I'll be there, whether you say you need me or not." 033. Sometimes people run away to be alone, but sometimes they run away to see if you care enough to follow them. 034. Freedom is knowing who you are. 035. No matter how hard we try to ignore it or 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.
036. Let's play "truth or dare". Or just "dare". Nobody tells the truth anymore. 037. Being rich doesn't mean having money. It means being happy with what you have. 038. Some people let their beauty show because they want the world to see it. Others hide their beauty because they want the world to see something more. 039. We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. 040. I get the best feeling in the world when you say "hi" or even smile at me because I know, even if it's just for a second, that I've crossed your mind.
041. If you have no voice, scream. If you have no legs, run. If you have no hope, invent. 042. Madness does not always howl. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "Is there room for one more?" 043. Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue. 044. Beauty is not just skin deep. Real beauty is not seen - it is so far inside of us that it must be sensed. Our beauty can never be taken away as it is something that is always inside of us. We just have to have the strength to reach inside and let it find us. We are who we are - nothing more and definitely nothing less. True beauty on the outside comes from this realization. 045. As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.

| Two updates in one day? Well, the first one was made really early in the morning. I'm pretty bored at the moment so, why not update, right? Right. So here's some more quotes and icons for you!
016. "You always said how lucky you were that we were all friends. But it was us, baby, who were the lucky ones." 017. This was a year of losses, but I am so happy with who I have become. 018. She will chase you around for a little while, but there's going to be a day when she's gonna stop running around in circles around you. She's going to get over you and at that very moment, you're going to wish you had let her catch you. 019. We were given to hands to hold, two legs to walk, two eyes to see, two ears to listen. But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone for us to find. 020. Fall in love or fall in hate. Get inspired or get depressed. Ace a test or flunk a class. Make babies or make art. Speak the truth or lie and cheat. Dance on tables or sit in a corner. Life in divine chaos. Embrace it. Forgive yourself. Breathe. And enjoy the ride.
021. After awhile, you learn the difference between holding a hand and falling in love. You begin to learn that kisses don't always mean something, promises can be broken just as easily as they are made, goodbyes really are forever. 022. If you wait too long for the perfect moment, the perfect moment will pass you by. 023. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away. 024. "People are going to disappoint you, I get that... I kind of expect that, but I don't know, what if you wake up one day and realize you're the disappointment." 025. "It's not about what you look like, or your jobs, or how successful you are. It's about having people in your life who you love and who love you. That's all that matters."
026. The spaces between your fingers were created so that another's could fill them. 027. On the first day of kindergarten, the teacher held up three pictures. Two of them were apples and the other was an orange. She then told us to pick the one that didn't belong. The first lesson that we ever learned was that being different was wrong. 028. If someone does not smile at you, be generous and offer your own smile. Nobody needs a smile more than the one that cannot smile to others. 029. You learn alot about people when you listen to the songs that mean something to them. 030. "Each morning when I open my eyes, I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy with it."
