Never live life unnoticed.

Losers are not the people who do not win, losers are the people who
are so afraid of not winning they don't even try.

The beauty of life is not knowing for sure what might come next,
but having faith that there will be a better day.

I always have this fear that one day you will discover
that I'm not as great as you thought I was.

If you have a relationship with God, everything else will work itself out.

There it goes again. That heavy feeling in your chest when you don't feel any
desire to speak or move. All you want to do is close your eyes and sleep,
because the process of being broken is incredibly exhausting. You attempt your
best to make your days fulfilling, but no matter how hard you try you can't seem
to connect to anyone or anything.

Use your smile to change the world.
Don't let the world change your smile.

Tonight I feel like the world won't miss me.
So much to say but there's no one listening.
If we're alone are we all together in that.
I threw a penny in a well for wishing
and prayed for all the things I think I'm missing.
A little time is all I really need.
I am doing the best I can with everything I am.
Don't you know nobody's perfect?
Do you understand how hard I'm trying to do the best I can,
the best I can.

I see myself as a crayon, I may not be your favorite color,
but I know someday you will need me to complete your picture.

Three things you cannot recover in life: the moment after its missed, the word after its said, and the time after its been wasted.

Too many people undervalue what they are and overvalue what they're not.

This coming year, I hope you create a story that you love. I hope you make something beautiful and take great risks. I hope you dare yourself to do brave things. I hope you will have a conviction and see it through. I hope you fall in love-with art or a person or God. I hope you discover the miracle of faith. I hope life breaks you and from the disaster, I hope you come out brand new and beautiful. I hope you have the courage to take the weak things and amplify them until your life overflows with only the good stuff. I hope you see the world and meet interesting people but above all, I hope you have an absolutely passionate love affair with life.

I didn't know why I was going to cry, but I knew that if anybody spoke to me or looked at me too closely the tears would fly out of my eyes and the sobs would fly out of my throat and I'd cry for a week. I could feel the tears brimming and sloshing in me like water in a glass that is unsteady and too full.

Be nice first, because you can always be mean later, but once you've been mean to someone, they won't believe the nice anymore.

I begin to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. He taught me that if you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good, either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be.

Once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain, when you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about.

On this, the first day of the year, you would like to hear me give only promises of success and happiness. But since existence is a long chain of moments that must be lived with awareness one after the other, I can only tell you the truth: your future happiness lies in work and effort. All the efforts you make are recorded on high in the book of life, and what blessings are being prepared for you thanks to these efforts. When you recieve them, you will wonder, 'why all these gifts?' and the reply will be, 'because, by the means of your work, you have risen to the regions of light, and you have also brought light and peace to those in distress and darkness.' There is nothing more I can say. Keep walking in the path of light. What will be at the end of the path? You will find out when you arrive, and you will be dazzled.

^I've been wanting shorts like these for forever. Where do I find them?!^

Just because you're in love with someone doesn't mean you're happy with them and just because you're happy with someone doesn't mean you're in love with them.

 There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who, with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun.

Ihope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something. So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make new mistakes. make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life. whatever it is you're scared of doing, do it. Make your mistakes, next year and forever.

I have discovered that life doesn't actually knock you down. It does, however, provide you with many opportunities to evaluate your standing in life: what you stand on, what you stand for, how you stand within yourself and for yourself.

You could only save someone who wanted to be saved; otherwise, you'd be dragged down for the count too.

Just because life has let you down doesn't mean that you must let yourself down. Pick yourself up, quickly take a positive step, and know that you're closer to reaching your goal than you've ever been before. You've been through some of the hard part and already experienced some of the difficulty you must go through. So keep going, and make that experience count. Change your approach if that's what is called for. Learn from where you've been, adapt and adjust your efforts to be even more effective. Every day, every encounter, and every outcome is a new opportunity to move yourself forward. Keep yourself focused on the goal you've chosen, and keep yourself moving in the best way you know how. The disappointments are just as much a part of the process as the victories. Be truly thankful for it all, and in your gratitude you'll find a way to put it all to positive use. Whatever has happened is a perfect reason to keep going. Keep going, and create the life you have chosen to life.

You get a strange feeling when you're about to leave a place. Like you'll not only miss the people you love but you'll miss the person you are now at this time and this place, because you'll never be this way ever again.

The only problem with her is that she is too perfect. She is bad in a way that entices, and good in a way that comforts. She is mischief but then she is the warmth of home. The dreams of the wild and dangerous but the memories of childhood and gladness. She is perfection. And when given something perfect, it is the nature of man to dedicate his mind to finding something wrong with it and then when he is able to find something wrong with it, he rejoices in his find and sees only the flaw, becoming blind to everything else. And this is why man is never given anything that is perfect, because when given the imperfect and the ugly, man will dedicate his mind to finding what is good with the imperfect and upon finding one thing good with the extremely flawed, he will only see the one thing good, and no longer see everything that is ugly. And so, man complains to God for having less than what he wants, but this is the only thing that man can handle. Man cannot handle what is perfect. It is the nature of the mortal to rejoice over the one thing that he can proudly say that he found on his own, with no help from another, whether it be a shadow in a perfect diamond, or a faint beautiful reflection in an extremely dull mirror.

I like drinking coffee alone and reading alone. I like riding the bus alone and walking home alone. It gives me time to think and set my mind free. I like eating alone and listening to music alone. But when I see a mother with her child, a girl with her lover, or a friend laughing with their best friend, I realize that even though I like being alone, I don't fancy being lonely.

I know what it does to you, I know. Maybe that's why we hold on as hard as we do. We just can't believe that such a miracle can happen to us twice. But it can. Someday. Someday you'll find it again.

There's something nice about the silence of a car ride in the dark, going home. When you were tired of the radio and conversation, and it was okay to just be alone with your thoughts and the road ahead. If you're that comfortable with someone, you don't have to talk.

When I think of you and me and what we shared, I know it would be easy for others to dismiss our time together as simply a by-product of the days and nights we spent by the sea, a "fling" that, in the long run, would mean absolutely nothing. That's why I don't tell people about us. They wouldn't understand, and I don't feel the need to explain, simply because I know in my heart how real it was..how real this is.

Forget what has hurt you in the past, but never forget what it has taught you.

I'd rather be with someone screwed up and open about it than somebody perfect and ready to explode.

That's who you really like, the people you can think out loud in front of.

So you know what I mean when I say that I don't think anyone who falls in love has a choice. You're just pulled to that person like a true north, whether it's good for you or bound to break your heart.

When you are attracted to people, it's because of the details. Their kindness. Their eyes. The fact that they can get you to laugh when you need it the most.

Thank you for coming into my life and giving me joy, thank you for loving me and receiving my love in return. Thank you for the memories I will cherish forever. But most of all, thank you for showing me that there will come a time when I can eventually let you go.

Amazing how you could get so far from where you'd planned, and yet find it exactly was where you needed to be.

You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.

You will try to run and he will let you but he will be standing exactly where you left him when you went ahead and lost your mind, not because he has nowhere else to be or because he's a pushover, but because he understands that you are worth waiting for. And you are, not because he proved it to you, but because he gave you the time to realize it for yourself.

And I learned what is obvious to a child. That life is simply a collection of little lives, each lived one day at a time. That each day should be spent finding beauty in flowers and poetry and talking to animals. That a day spent with dreaming and sunsets and refreshing breezes cannot be bettered.

Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made or dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused.

Cinderella believed in dreams alright, but she also believed in doing something about them. When prince charming didn't come along, she went over to the palace and got him.

It's your choice to decide what looks good on you. What world you fit in. What you feel about that. And don't be afraid of having to be one look. Be anything you want to be. And be many things.

Love is a funny thing, you expect it to be easy. You expect it to be a world of roses and laughs and perfect moments that you find only in movies. You expect her to always say the right thing, and always know exactly how you feel, or exactly how to react to it. You expect her to calm you down when you're yelling or to chase you when you run away. You expect so much that you're entirely, and utterly defeated when something doesn't exactly match up with all your plans. But that's the thing..love isn't a plan. It doesn't have a certain beginning and it certainly has no end or visible finish line to those deeply in it. Love happens; it is so incredibly messy. People around you can't comprehend why you do the things you do, or why you fight so hard for something that seems to cause you so much pain, because simply, they can't see. They can't see the invisible ring of sanity that surrounds you when you're in love. It's inconvenient and painful and devastating at times, but we can't live without it. What you don't learn is how hard love is. How much of ourselves we have to put into it. How it isn't worth it until we are complete and utter idiots about it. Love isn't about her calming you down when you well. It's her yelling. Just as loud, just as hard, right back at you, right in your face to wake you up and keep you grounded. It isn't bringing her roses everyday or cute things that make your relationship appear more presentable. It's right after a fight that drains the life and bones right out of you both, and yet her or him showing up at your doorstep the next morning anyway. It's not her saying all the right things or knowing exactly how to handle you. So no, it's not her caressing your hair and telling you everything is going to be okay. It's her standing there, admitting she's just as scared as you are. You have to remember that with love, you're not the only one involved. You unknowingly put your life, your heart into the palms of another's hands and saying, 'here. do what you will. Mash it into a million pieces. Or forget i ever handed it to you in the first place. Just as long as you have it.' It makes reality invisible and erases all the lines that we shouldn't cross. Because love isn't about fencing ourselves in; feeling safe, feeling sure about the future. It's about scaring the shit out of every nerve in our body, but pushing forward anyway. Because all the fighting and all the tears and all the uncertainty is worth it. And it's a hell of a lot better than being one-hundred percent happy without someone to show us that there is a world of a difference between feeling 'happy' and feeling whole.

If I knew that today would be the last time I'd see you, I would hug you tight and pray the lord be the keeper of your soul. If I knew that this would be the last time you pass through this door, I'd embrace you, kiss you, and call you back for one more. if I knew that this would be the last time I would hear your voice, I'd take hold of each word to be able to hear it over and over again. If I knew this is the last time I see you, I'd tell you I love you, and would not just assume foolishly you know it already.

When I first met him,  knew in a moment I would have to spend the next few days rearranging my mind so there'd be room for him to stay.

I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And it's these things I'd believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn't all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything.

Somehow she knew that you didn't get many moments like this in your life: moments when you knew, without any doubt, that you were alive, when you felt the air in your lungs and the wet grass beneath your feet and the cotton on your skin; moments when you were completely in the present, when neither the past nor the future mattered. She tried to slow her breathing, hoping somehow to make this moment last forever.

Isn't it odd how much fatter a book gets when you've read it several times? As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells...and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower...both strange and familiar.

You're in a car with a beautiful boy, and he won't tell you that he loves you. And you feel like you've done something terrible, like robbed a liquor store, or swallowed pills, or shoveled yourself a grave in the dirt, and you're tired. You're in a car with a beautiful boy, and you're trying not to tell him that you love him, and you're trying to choke down the feeling, and you're trembling, but he reaches over and he touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist, and you feel your heart taking root in your body, like you've discovered something you don't even have a name for.

Dare to look foolish. The real fools are those who never attempt anything. Dare to make mistakes. They are the best teachers you will ever know. Dare to take action. There's a risk you may fail, yet if you take no action failure is a certainty. Dare to be fully alive. Dare to speak your mind. Dare to enjoy the beauty of the world. dare to make a difference. Dare to love. Dare to be the person you know you can be. Dare to expect the best, with your words and actions. You'll usually get it. Dare to do what is right rather than what is convenient or expedient. It will truly make a difference in the way you see yourself, and the way others see you. You're here, with this magnificent day avaliable to you. Dare to make it the best you can.

I want to grow old without facelifts. I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I've made. Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you'd never complete your life, would you? You'd never wholely know you.

Everyone knows that goodbyes aren't easy. So I'm not going to say bye, I'm going to say thanks for all the times you made me smile, for the times you kissed my forehead and my cheek instead of my lips. For the nights you hlep me when I felt that my world was falling apart. The days you told me to get back up when I thought I wouldn't be able to get out of bed. For holding my hand and holding it so tight. For long drives with your hand on my knee, for the nights I never wanted to end because I didn't want you to let go. For showing me I'm stronger than I ever thought I was. In telling me I'm beautiful. Telling me that you never want me to leave and that I never want to. For letting me cry until my throat was sore and telling me it was going to be okay, I believe it will be. I just want the world to slow down. No, I want the world to stop. Right now. How can time just let things fall apart?  Because for me, things fall apart and they never know how to be put back together. Things will never be put back together. No matter how hard I try, I know I'm going to lose you. You're one star in a sky of a thousand but you're the brightest one and I know you'll fade. You'll fade until I can't find you anymore. I can't find you anymore.

I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as making a 'life'. I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

I think the hardest part of this whole situation is that neither of us knows what's going on. Neither of us know what the other is thinking. And we are both trying to make decisions on information we don't know.

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, its how you wouldve created it.

Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater achievements of the future. Give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. Live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

You're the closest thing to perfect and the farthest thing away from me.

Winds Of Change.

I haven't got a clue if you're the one but I like you. And I like how you make me feel.

These eyes tell the tale of a desperate man too afraid to tell the truth. Just trust me when I say I'm alright. Just trust me when I say I'll get by, I just don't know who I am anymore.

There's bound to be a ghost at the back of your closet, no matter where you live. There'll always be a few things, maybe several things, that you're going to find really difficult to forgive.

Lately I'm alright and lately I'm not scared. I've figured out that what you do to me feels like I'm floating on air. I don't need to know right now because all I know is I believe in the very thing that got us here and now I can't leave.

And the truth is, I'm scared of you. I've never felt so drawn to another person, so much that it's impossible to keep my distance.

So it goes unsaid that we've been here before. Lonely nights and endless fights and sleeping on the floor. And he's sorry, so the story goes. It's read and replayed and ends the same way. Stop expecting change, he's just a lost cause that you're waiting on.

You're going to hate me when I tell you everything.

Tell me I'm only dreaming. Tell me he's just sleeping. And when morning comes, we'll both wake up to see the sun and love that's enough to keep our friends alive.

I feel sometimes, that nobody's held me down and forced me to cry or made me hug them, or got to the inside of me. It's like I say "Oh I'm fine" and I walk away. Nobody's ever said "No you're not."

You can exit out the back and make your getaway before anyone can see the damage you have done

I wonder how many people I've looked at all my life and never seen.

It hasn't been a long time, and we haven't been talking late into the night or even hung out enough times that I can't count on my fingers. But we've talked enough for me to know I want to pursue this. You make me smile, and for now that's enough.

If it isn't real, if it isn't real then how do you explain all of these things that I feel, that I feel.

It's not brave if you're not scared.

I want something else. I'm not even sure what to call it anymore except I know it feels roomy and it's drenched in sunlight and it's weightless and I know it's not cheap. Probably not even real.

I think you know what I'm getting at. I find it so upsetting that the memories that you select, you keep the bad, but the good you just forget.

Before I lose my mind, I have to tell you, you make the whole world brighter.

Just give me something to hold onto. It's so clear now that you are all that I have.

How can you be so calm when the truth is sometimes living in the eye of the storm? With everything going on around us, I feel comfort in the sounds when you say: it will be okay.

It was the look on your face. It gave you away. It was the way that you said my name, my name. It gave you away.

I will kiss away every tear, they'll disappear in my mouth. And I will believe in all your fears. You let them in, I'll let them out and put them in their place, my love.

"She knew better, but her crazy heart didn't."

I never feared the unexpected until I found myself in this peculiar place, unaware of where I was headed. Turns out it was your footsteps I chased. Well, I should know so much better than this. But you’ve occupied the center of my universe.

Liars don't get second chances and secrets don't make friends. So open up, spill your guts, make sure you make an honest mess.

"I know there will be risks, but I want to face them with you. It's wrong that we should only be half alive, half of ourselves. I love you. So here I am, standing in your doorway. I've always been standing in your doorway. Isn't it about time somebody saved your life?"

I know who you are. I love you. I love everything about you that hurts.

Most times, its just alot easier not to let the world know what's wrong.

You think the only people who are people, are the people who look and think like you.
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you’ll learn things you never knew.”

Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will either. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as you see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different.

And she loves regardless of everything that has stained her life. She loves with everything she has left, and that is beautiful.

God always has something for you.
A key for every problem, a light for every shadow,
a relief for every sorrow and a plan for every tomorrow.

The saddest people I've ever met in life are the ones who don't care deeply about anything at all. Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand, and without them, happiness is only temporary because there's nothing to make it last. I love to hear people talk about what their most passionate about, because that's when you see the person at their best.

Never expect, and never assume. You don't always get what you want. Everything happens for a reason, and if something is meant to be, it will be. You're in control of the decisions you make, but God directs you to the right path. If he believes something is right for you, then it will happen. Until then? We should not worry, but live every second.

I want everyone to know, but mostly you. That I am so strong. You pushed me into the dirt, but I have the strength to rise again. So don't you ever, ever tell me that I'm not strong enough.

I've been waking up everyday with the sense that I am falling behind despite my best efforts. I feel as if I've been failing. I once was doing things because I wanted to. And now, it's gradually started to feel like I have to. As if I have no other choice.

You said yourself that you were done with this. I believed you, it's the trust I miss. When my eyes start to tear, you'll remain part of everything. I am your friend, talk to me, tell me anything. I love you despite everything.

All guys should learn from the Mario Brothers. No matter how far their princess is they go after her.

May the sunlight find your face, even when the rain does fall. And get back on your feet again every time you slip and fall. Keep your heart wide open and always taking in. And even when it's broken, be strong enough to fix it again.

You are the reason I can't give out second chances. At this point, I don't know who is more stupid: me for giving you countless chances, or you, who, when given every opportunity to get better, throws it away. How long will this last? I tried so long to have hope, I truly did. But do you realize how hard it is to watch someone crash and burn and there is nothing you can do about it? And I'm so done. Second chances don't mean shit. You are only allowing that person to hurt and disappoint you more.

If I ever have kids, and they are upset, I won't tell them that are people starving in China or anything like that because it wouldn't change the fact that they are upset. And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn't change the fact that you have what you have.

Never compare yourself to another woman (or get threatened). If you pretend not to notice her, she'll see your confidence in yourself and then she'll be intrigued with you. Suddenly she won't look so good. She only has as much power as you give her.

I used to be so strong, I used to be able to do whatever I want, and then I feel like I've been broken down little by little. I don't know what to do. I can't have him talk to me like this anymore. I just want to be with someone who loves me so much. Okay, whatever, I do think I deserve to be a princess, I think that every girl deserves to be treated like a princess. But you don't treat me like crap. That's not okay, that's not an excuse. Like, I know what I have to do and I know what I want to do, but why can't get I get there? I just don't know what to do.

Awkward moments define me. I'd sleep all day if I could. I lack the capability to keep my mouth closed. Yeah, everyone has bad days, I just have more frequent ones. If you don't like me, don't act like you do; it really won't offend me. I've made mistakes, I've let people take advantage of me, and I have accepted way less than I deserve.

Two of the hardest tests in life: The patience to wait for the
right moment and the courage to accept that you've waited for nothing

There's something to be said about a glass half full. About knowing
when to say when. I think it's a floating line. A barometer of need and
desire. It's entirely up to the individual. And depends on what's being poured.
Sometimes all we want is a taste. Other times there's
no such thing as enough, the glass is bottomless. And all we want is more

And I'll have you know I'm scared to death.

I felt something catch in my throat, a sudden surge of sadness that caught me unaware, almost taking my breath away. That was the thing - you never got used to it, the idea of someone being gone. Just when you think its reconciled, accepted - someone points it out to you, and it just hits you all over again.
-Sarah Dessen

You should always say yes to your
happiness, even if it means saying
no to someone else. God wants you
to be happy, and He wouldn't want
you to be with someone who couldn't
make you feel that way.

If I could choose, I'd go
back to believing in everything,
and knowing nothing at all.

hahaha. no respect for bieber, but thats hilarious.

If your love is deep, passionate
and extremely profound, fight
for it. Otherwise, don’t bother.
We already have so many mediocre
things in life, and love should not be one.

I have so much to give to you. So
much love and heart and soul.
So much caring. Everything that
I have in me. I am not an empty
vessel. I am brimming with passion
and smiles and stories and pictures
and romance. I want to break it,
everything inside of me, into a
million tiny pieces and wrap them
up and give you one every day until
you have all of them. All of me.

We tend to forget that happiness
doesn't come as a result of getting
something we don't have, but rather
of recognizing and appreciating
what we do have.

He who kneels before God,
can stand before anything.

"So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my
righteous right hand."
Isaiah 41:10

Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them.
Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good.
Love each other with genuine affection,
and take delight in honoring each other.
Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord
enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope.
Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.
—Romans 12:9-12

Take all the time you need to heal
emotionally. Moving on doesn't take a
day. It takes a lot of little steps to
be able to break free of your broken self.

Courage is going from failure to
failure without losing enthusiasm.

Do not look back and grieve over
the past, for it is gone. Do not be troubled
about the future, for it has yet to come.
live in the present, and make it
so beautiful that it will be
worth remembering.

Some people say that the truth
hurts, but so do the lies. Lies
ruin peoples' lives. They turn
people into monsters. They break
peoples' hearts. I don't think
anyone would rather be lied to,
than told the truth. Because yeah,
the truth may hurt, but it's better
than believing the lie,
and then finding out it
wasn't the truth later.

When you're ready, and when it's time,
God will put someone in your life
that will make you realize why it
never worked with anyone else.

I pity the man who truly believes

I need him. I am a whole person, a

complete individual on my own. I do

not need a boy to “complete me”.

This does not mean I would not

appreciate a nice guy. It just

means I am a human,

capable of functioning with

or without a man by my side.

I'm still not ready to move on.
It's sort of like on the one hand,
expectations can inspire you,
but, then again, they can
really let you down. I'm not
ready to be let down quite yet. But,
I still have hope that one day
I'll take a chance again, in the
horrible face of expectation,
and it'll be worth it.

There's a difference between
giving up and knowing
you've had enough.

I'm so tired of being the
bigger person in situations
where I shouldn't have to be.

they're beautiful.

She thinks she's getting
better, but in reality, she's
just getting used to the pain.

Focus on today. God meets
daily needs daily. He will give you
what you need when you need it.

An English professor wrote these words
"A woman without her man is nothing" on the
chalkboard and asked his students to
punctuate it correctly. All of the males
in the class wrote: "A woman, without
her man, is nothing." All the females
in the class wrote: "A woman:
without her, man is nothing."

Falling for you wasn't the
plan, but when you held
me in your arms something
told me this is where I needed to be.

And this is my prayer: that your love
may abound more and more in knowledge
and depth of insight, so that you may be
able to discern what is best and may be
pure and blameless until the day of Christ,
-- Philippians 1:9-10

May I just say, this show
has got to be one of the most amazing shows in Television history. :)

God is doing a greater work in us,
and that can only come as we learn
to trust him no matter how dark the
days and sleepless the nights.

She is clothed with strength and dignity,
she can laugh at the days to come
-Proverbs 31:25-

You've sunk lower than I've ever seen,
and even though you deserved this
I tried to catch your fall.
I've grown so tired of your childish threats.
Know that I'll never run from anything.

Sometimes it seems safer to hold it all in,
where the only person who can judge is yourself.

I am just so cynical, just inconvincible,
nobody seems worth trusting.

Be soft, do not let the world make you hard.
Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not
let the bitterness take your sweetness. Take
pride that even though the rest of the world
may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place. -- I really need to soak this in.

I decided, very early on, just to accept life
unconditionally. I never expected it to do
anything special for me, yet I seemed to
accomplish far more than I had ever hoped.
Most of the time it just happened to me without
my ever seeking it.

Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love.
A gift to that person, a beautiful thing.

Sometimes you have to be strong for yourself.
You have to know that you’re a good person and a good
friend. What’s meant to be will end up good and what’s not-
won’t. Love is 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 just have to 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.

No one can make you who you are. I've
learned that no one will be able to define me.
Everything is in me. Everything is up to me. Whatever
I choose, whoever I want to be, it's all up to me.

And you give, and they take, and it's love that you want,
but not love that you make. Save your heart for someone
that's worth dying for, don't give it away.

Be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse I love you.
Go to work, do your best, don't outsmart your common sense.
Never let your prayin knees get lazy & love like crazy.

I may not know what I want to be when I grow up, but I do know that
someday I want to live in a house filled with my books and travel souvenirs.
And the walls that aren’t covered in bookshelves will be covered with photos
of my family and friends. When I leave the house I will be going to a job I
love, and I’ll return to a person I love. So, that’s the dream I’m working on.

People of character do the right thing. Not because they think it will
change the world, but because they refuse to be changed by the world.

HAHAHA. My cat does this all the time. Soo funny.

Be proud of every scar on your heart, each one holds a lifetime’s worth of lessons.

HAHAH. I love that video. So true.

The things that will destroy us are
politics without principle, pleasure without conscience
wealth without work, knowledge without character,
business without morality, science without humanity
and worship without sacrifice.

Im hearing what you say but I just cant make a sound.
You tell me that you need me then you go and cut me down.

:)

You don't have to try so hard for me to love you
you had me at hello.

Happiness is like a butterfly. The more you chase it, the more it eludes you.
But if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.

There are some things that can’t be changed and there are some situations where an apology won’t be able to change a thing.
The twist of fate can bring people together and “everything happens for a reason” can tear them apart.

Life is never going to be perfect and you need to realize that.
People you thought you knew are going to turn into strangers.
The one you thought you loved may be the person you hate the most someday.
You’re going to be happy and you’re going to fall.
You need to know life isn’t perfect and that’s what makes it best of all.
Live your life for today and don’t forget to believe in yourself.

Being yourself is what makes you attractive.
Being something you’re not makes you a liar.
And relationships built on lies don’t last.

Missing you is my hobby, caring for you is my job,
make you happy is my duty, and loving you is my life.

Hahah. Oh my gosh.

women are like police
they can have all the evidence in the world
but they still want a confession.
