SHE'S ALWAYS FEARLESS


Mackenzie. Almost eighteen. Freshman in college. I like to swim, walk with friends, pretend I know how to play the guitar, do my best Bob Marley imitation, attend concerts, iChat with my best friends, hang out in downtown at 3 in the morning, sleep outside on the deck, go to the gym, read by the pool, play with my dogs, get starbucks, stay up late, wake up early, eat fruit, SLEEEEEEP, party, play GTA, play guitar hero, play rock band with my best friends and make believe we're Green Day, listen to music, write, read Rolling Stone, read Alternative Press, think about things, plan the future, play the Sims 3 , go to the movies, drive with my windows down, dance/sing/love/kiss/play/make out in the rain, sleep on my little brothers floor when he has a nightmare, sit out on my roof at night and read or think, listen to my record player, try and fail to organize my room, purses and shoes, hanging with my "bad" friends. And that... that my lovely reader, is only what I do in the summer and on weekends. This site has been open since 2006; I update it when I'm bored. Like this? Cool. Subscribe and leave a comment. Let's be friends. I'm chill. :)

when you try your best but you don't succeed

“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.”
— Neil Gaiman



“When I first met Michael at my audition, I thought he was a cheeseball. Halfway through, he broke character to say how pretty I was. I didn’t know what he was trying to do. Sabotage my audition? Afterward, he offered to drive me back to my hotel & by the time we got there he had charmed me. I realized he really WAS being in character. Michael lets his guard down a lot, which is sexy to me. His favorite thing is to stay home, cook & watch sports or a movie. He likes to drink wine, play backgammon, have people over. His place is a sophisticated mess. There’s lots of wood & beautiful colored rugs & walls. Then you poke around & find his 60’s posters - Bond girls in bikinis & Antonioni films. Michael is a real McQueen freak, a real guy. He’s very tall but not lanky. He’s solid. He’s a tree. One day whoever he falls in love with will feel she can rest her head on that big chest.”
— Cote de Pablo about Michael Weatherly (TV Guide - June 2005)



life update: i hate school and im still not hot



I always think of you before I fall asleep. The words you said, the way you looked. The things we laughed about, the silent moments we shared. And when I dream, I'll dream of you. Because it's about you, it's always about you.



I met an old mistake walking down the street today. I didn't wanna be mean about it. I couldn't think of one good thing to say.



Who cares what other people think? Let them make fun of the music you listen to and the words that come out of your mouth. Let them tell you how you should be, and ignore it; At the end of the day, you are who you are and no one can take that away.



I'm a straight forward kind of girl. If you ask me what I'm thinking I'll tell you, no sugar coating. Because that's not what life's about. It's about dealing with the pain that comes along. So, if you are going to tell me how you feel, don't lie. If I ask something, I want to know the truth, the first time.



Don't be so hard on yourself. Yeah you screwed up. You're not perfect, fine. Learn from it. But don't punish yourself. Be kind to you, even when you screw up. You'll bounce back eventually. You'll make up for it.



Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived.



I'm a bitch so get used to it. Because trust me, I am going to say what I want to say, do what I want to do, and be whoever the fuck I want to be. And nobody said you had to like it.



If anyone asks, I'll tell them we both just moved on. When people all stare I'll pretend that I don't hear them talk. Whenever I see you, I'll swallow my pride and bite my tongue, pretend I'm okay with it all, act like there's nothing wrong.



I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday.



The first to apologize is the bravest. The first to forgive is the strongest. And the first to forget is the happiest.



Larger than the moon, my love for you. Worlds collide as heaven pulls us through. The secret of the world is written in the stars. I'm carrying your heart in mine.



I'm gonna break these chains around my broken heart
You could have had it once but you tore it all apart
I'm gonna throw your lying eyes over my left shoulder
Not gonna let you wear your crown, not this time around



My fingertips are holding onto the cracks of our foundation, and I know I should let go, but I can't.



Our eyelashes brushed like they would weave together by themselves, turning us into one wild thing. I say, “I think I missed you before I even met you."



Don't let insignificant people have significance in your life.



I think we spend too much time wondering why we're not good enough. We waste too much time putting ourselves down, that we don't ever stop to see that we are good enough. We spend too much time with our heads down and hearts closed, and never get a chance to look up from the ground and see that the sun is shining and tomorrow is another day.



"Why do I do it? Because nights alone aren't permanent. Missing him reminds me that I'm lucky to have someone so special, and because I am not afraid to make sacrifices for true love."



We may only have tonight, but til' the morning sun, you're mine.



Because you're young, you're torn between a world of hate and a world of dreams. So much to lose, so much to gain, so much to fight for, so much to change.



Serious relationships are not something anyone should really be actively looking for because sometimes, the best relationships happen only by accident. I was beginning to see, though, that the unknown wasn’t always the greatest thing to fear. The people who know you best can be riskier, the words they say and the things they think have the potential to be not only scary but true, as well.



The essence of life is not being perfect, impressing people, or succeeding at everything. The essence of life is simply making mistakes and learning from them, surrounding yourself with people that love you when you're being yourself, and getting through the failures so that you can continue improving.



You and I were different. We came from different worlds, and yet you were the one who taught me the value of love.



Don’t you hate it when people make a joke about you, about something that you are actually incredibly insecure about and they don’t realize it, but every laugh feels like a stab in your chest, because it hurts so much and brings up memories you’d rather forget. But you can’t say anything, because then people would know your weaknesses. They’d know how insecure you really are. So instead you just laugh it off, and hide the pain you feel inside.



I'm thinking that sometimes you just have to make the decision to be happy. Just realize that things aren't ever what you hoped they'd be. Not ever. For anybody. The only thing that separates one kind of person from another is that there are some who stay angry about it and there are some who accept what comes their way.



When I’m with you, I act different. In a good way of course. I smile more and laugh more. I don’t have to pretend everything is okay when it’s really not. With you, I can drop the fake smile and put on a real one. I don’t feel hurt and alone when I’m with you. Instead, i feel safe and loved. You’re easy to talk to, and you listen to me. I don’t have to worry about holding back with you. I don’t feel self conscious. I don’t ever feel insecure or sad. You show me that you really do care, and you’re not just pretending. I really appreciate your company, because with you I’m different. With you, I’m happy.



I know this is hard to believe, but she cared. She cared a whole fucking lot about you. She's not perfect, she knows that, but she loved you, remember that. She still does. She probably still will, after she leaves and she goes her way, she's still gonna fucking care.




In this New Year, 2012, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union address will occur on the same day. This is an ironic juxtaposition of events.

One involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to an insignificant creature of little intelligence for prognostication.
The other involves a groundhog.



Don't you worry beautiful, one day you're going to be able to wake up and not even think about him.




Your smile says you're happy, but it's cheaper than your words. And your silence speaks almost clearly, but I swear we can make this work.



Everyone has that person that they go back to. Each time, they swear it's different, and they're done for good. But they aren't. They wish they were, but the things is, they can't be. Because that person they keep going back to, they can't be completely happy without them.



Honestly, I don't know which one I'm in love with, you, or the memories.



Don't talk to me. Don't try to make me laugh. Don't make a joke in front of me. Don't look at me. Don't act as if I give a shit about you. You might not hate me, and I might not hate you, but the things you said about me are absolutely unforgivable.



Scared as hell to want you, but here I am, wanting you anyway. And fear means I have something to lose, right? And I don't want to lose you. So this is it, this is love. Giving you the power to break me, but trusting you not to.



“Why do people say “grow some balls”? Balls are weak and sensitive! If you really wanna get tough, grow a Vagina! Those things take a pounding!”
Betty White



Don't waste time with a boy who is positive that you're always going to be there. Find the boy who stays on pins and needles when he's around you, never giving you a reason to leave.



It's amazing how at one point in our lives we will be extreamely close with someone and then later they will become a complete stranger. You will pass by them without a word. Without a single acknowledging look. This person, who once knew you so well, who once knew your fears, your desires, your dreams, your past is now walking right past you, seeing right through you.



So what? We only talk when it's convenient for you? What about the times I lie in bed, clutching my tear-stained pillow over my throbbing mouth, trying to contain a scream that's releasing all the exploding nerve endings? What, are you too busy with her to text me back? Jackass.



And you taught me what this feels like. And then how it feels to lose it. And you showed me who I wanted. And then who I wasn't. And you ticked every box. And then drew a line. And you weren't mine to begin with. And then not to end with. And you looked like everything I wanted. And then became something I hated. And you get thought of every day. And then not in a good way. And you let me leave. And then wish I'd stayed. And you almost killed me. But I didn't die.



Tell me you've had trouble sleeping. That you toss and turn from side to side. That it's my face you've been seeing in your dreams at night. Tell me that you wake up crying, and you're not sure exactly why. Tell me that something is missing in your life. Tell me that it's not just me.



Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… but rather learning to dance in the rain



Sometimes you meet somebody and you know that whatever you did before, it must have been right. Nothing could have been too bad, or gone too far wrong, because it led you to this person. You're that person.



You can't tell someone you love them and then change your mind. That's not how it works. Once you love someone, you always love them. Isn't there a part of you that thinks of him for no reason? They'll always be in the back of your mind. And no matter how much you love someone else, you'll always love them too.



I'm sorry I constantly want to talk to you. I'm sorry when you take long to reply, I get sad. I'm sorry if I say things that might piss you off. I'm sorry if I come off as annoying. I'm sorry if you don't wanna talk to me as much as I wanna talk to you. I'm sorry is I think about you too much and too often. I'm sorry if I tell you about my pointless drama when you don't really care. I'm sorry if I come off as being clingy, but it's just me missing you.



Relationships aren't supposed to be easy. I'm willing to make it work if you are. As long as you put in effort, I will too. I don't like when people give up so easily. I don't think there's ever really a right "time" to let someone go. If they mean something to you, you should try your hardest to keep them in your life no matter what. No one said finding the right person for you was a walk in the park.



You know what I hate? Waiting. I hate waiting for anything. Waiting for a TV show, waiting for a text back, waiting for school to end, waiting for the bagel to come out of the toaster, waiting for anything. But the worst thing to wait for is you. I hate waiting for you to talk to me, I hate waiting for you to tell me you true feelings. I hate waiting, but I do it for you. Why? Because your worth it.



"What's wrong?" "Nothing." "Why can't you tell me?" Because you are the problem.



I've never had this many feelings for one person. Don't get me wrong, I've fallen for people before. But it's different this time. This time, I feel so much.



I always want to talk to you. No matter what time it is, where I am, or what I'm doing. I'd drop whatever I'm doing just to have a conversation with you. Why? Simply because I love talking to you. I love how we talk about the most random topics. I love how you know how to keep a conversation going. I love how we lose track of time. IA simple text, or phone call from you can make me smile throughout the whole day. I know it sounds rather silly, but it's true. You're on my mind all the time.



Maybe I'm scared because you mean more to me than any other person. You are everything I think about, everything I want.



Emotionally I'm done. Mentally I'm drained. Spiritually I'm dead. Physically I smile.



You cannot hold onto anything that wants to go. Do you understand what I’m saying? You've just got to love while you've got it, and that’s that.



Sometimes I really wonder how stupid it would seem to him. How I sit here with my eyes never leaving the screen of my phone waiting for his new text. Or refreshing the screen until it says he's online. Or how when I miss him I read the things he told me months and months ago. I really wonder what he would say if he knew he meant that much to me.



“The best part of having a relationship is getting to call the person or lay down next to them and tell them all the crazy things that happened to you all day long. And in the end that’s what it’s about, kids. It’s not about the sex, it’s not about the money that they give you or whatever. It’s not about how good-looking they are, it’s about, can they listen to you talk for hours and hours and hours about stupid shit that doesn’t matter. And if they can, then you’re meant to be together forever. Even if that means you have to call them 100 times, that’s okay.”
— Tegan Quin



You know what's attractive? Seeing people change for that one person. Whether it's cutting down their drinking habits or to stop doing drugs and maybe even something small like to stop swearing. It just proves that when it comes down to it, they would do whatever it take to see that person happy. Stopping habits is a hard thing to do and to see people actually doing that for someone's love is really attractive to me.



Don't let her go to sleep upset. Because, she'll only toss and turn in frustration until sadness pulls her into sleep, and tears stain her pillow. You'll never be her first thought when she wakes up, and more than anything she'll wish she could go back to sleep, back to the silence, to the empty blackness. Don't do this to her, she's worth so much more, if she wasn't, she wouldn't care.



“In a strange way, I had fallen in love with my depression. I loved it because it was all I had. I thought depression was the part of my character that made me worthwhile. I thought so little of myself, felt that I had such scant offerings to give to the world, that the one thing that justified my existence at all was my pain.”
— Elizabeth Wurtzel



“I was thinking how amazing it was that the world contained so many lives. Out in these streets people were embroiled in a thousand different matters, money problems, love problems, school problems. People were falling in love, getting married, going to drug rehab, learning how to ice-skate, getting bifocals, studying for exams, trying on clothes, getting their hair-cut and getting born. And in some houses people were getting old and sick and were dying, leaving others to grieve. It was happening all the time, unnoticed, and it was the thing that really mattered.”
— Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides



me: you're really funny
me: thanks



It's always gonna be there, isn't it? You and me.



"You don't have to be perfect. I mean, no matter what kind of person you are and no matter what shit you do when you're feeling down doesn't matter to me. I'll be here forever, behind you. Beside you. I'll support you no matter what because that's what real friends do."



I sit and laugh with friends at what we've all been through,
but I still catch my breath when someone mentions you.



I think best friends are the ones who've been through what you've been through. They understand where you're coming from and where you're going. It's always a challenge to stick by a friend who's making choices we don't agree with, and are sometimes even dangerous, but it's at these times that are best friends need us the most.



I’m not always as confident as I seem. There are many nights and many days when all I want is to be held. I love being held. Always. Sometimes I don’t want to talk about what is bothering me. Sometimes I just want a hug. Someone who will let me cry. I like when boys cry in front of me - when people aren’t afraid to show what they’re really feeling. I don’t like when people run from their true feelings because it doesn’t do anyone any good. I wear my heart on my sleeve, but I am not naive. I know what it feels like to be completely broken and I am all too familiar with what it means to be hurt. I know what it’s like to see something funny and not laugh. I’ve been taken advantage of, used, and abused. My feelings have been blatantly disregarded. But I still believe that all people are good at heart. And my trust in people has not diminished. To be completely honest, I hope it never does. Ever.



You know what the best feeling in the world is? Having a best friend, that one person who loves you and never judges you no matter what you matter how badly you fuck up. Someone who you have endless conversations with and can communicate by just using your eyes. That one person who just walks in your house, opens the fridge and grabs whatever they want out. Lastly it’s that person who knows so much about you that they could ruin your life in a second. But you trust them with your life, and you know that they will never ever do that no matter what.



No relationship is perfect, ever. There are some ways you have to bend, compromise, to give something in order to gain something greater. But the love we have for each other is bigger than those small differences, and that's the key. Love makes up for a lot.



I didn't mean it whenI said i didn't love you so, I should have held on tight I never should have let you go. I didn't know nothing, I was stupid, i was foolish. I was lying to myself. - Mariah Carey



Why, well , you got the key to my heart but you ain't gunna need it. I'd rather open up my body then show my secrets you didnt know was inside, no need for me to lie. - beyonce



My opinion on how school is going to be in 100 years time...
Teacher: Today we will be learning about the start of the World Wide Web War on January 19/20, 2012, now turn to page 394 on your Kindles
Student: My great grandparents fought in that war. On their Tumblr blogs.
Teacher: You must be very proud of them



So burn all your bridges, leave your whole life behind. You can do what you want to do cause you’re strong in your mind. And anywhere you might wander you can make that your home. Just as long as you’ve got love in your heart you’ll never be alone.



You know that feeling when you're just waiting, waiting to get home into your room, close the door, fall into bed, and just let everything out that you kept in all day, that feeling of both relief and desperation? Nothing is wrong, but nothing is right either, and you're tired, tired of everything, tired of nothing, and you just want someone to be there and tell you it's okay, but no one's going to be there, and you know you have to be strong for yourself because no one can fix you. But you're tired of waiting, tired of having to be the one to fix yourself and everyone else, tired of being strong, and for once, you just want it to be easy, to be simple, to be helped, to be saved, but you know you won't be, but you're still hoping and you're still wishing and you're still staying strong and fighting with tears in your eyes. You're fighting.



Life changes every minute of every day. You lose friends. You gain friends. You realize your friend wasn't ever really your friend, and that person you used to hate can make a really good friend. You look for love. You find love. You lose love. You realize all along that you've been loved. You laugh, you cry. you laugh so hard that you cry. You do this, you do that. You really wish you hadn't done that. You then learn from that and are glad that you did. You have your ups. You have your downs. You see good movies. You see bad movies. You wonder if your life is just one big movie. You look at others and wish you were them. You then realize who they are and are glad that you're you. You love life. You hate life. In the end, you just find yourself happy to be living life, no matter what's thrown at you.



Sometimes it just takes patience for everything to happen. You won't get respect in just one day, you can't be in love with someone that you just met, and you won't be able to forgive yourself in a second. I've learned that helping people is good, but helping someone too much won't let them grow. You grow by making mistakes, getting hurt, learning from your regrets. Thoughts are there to help guide you to your decision. It's you that has to take that first steponto the pathway of happiness. It's your doing that makes you who you are. Don't assume, get your facts straight; that's what messes a lot of people up. There's always the true story and reasoning behind everything. We are all different, but have one thing in common; we all want happiness. It's like we're all trying to fight for it, trying to get what we want and it makes us forget the whole reason why we wanted it in the first place. Nobody said life was going to be easy. Life is what you make of it. Change for the better, don't change for someone else, change for yourself. Don't be selfish. Don't limit yourself from doing things just because you don't think you can make it through. Remember, time isn't going to wait for you, so make the best of it.



You may not know it yet, maybe you'll never even think about it. But you're going to meet a lot of girls throughout your life, and maybe a lot of them will be special to you, but I'm telling you right now, you'll never find another me.




It is days like today that remind me how lucky I am to be alive, how lucky I am to have you, how lucky I am to be able to feel.



“Even people I’ve known for so long soon become strangers to me. People change and grow tired of having you in their life. I’m my own best friend. It’s sad, but it is what it is.” -Megan Fox



Stop falling. Stop listening. Stop texting back. Stop worrying. Stop getting your hopes up. Stop telling yourself that this is different. You've heard this story time and time before and you know how it ends. He's playing that game you keep losing.



Nothing has turned out as we expected. It never does. Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect. We take what we can get and are thankful it's no worse than it is.



Sometimes you have to forget what's gone, appreciate what still remains, and look forward to what's coming next.



You ask why I haven't been talking to you. Well maybe it's because you've slowly been pushing me out of your life. I'm glad you're finally noticing.



Life isn't all that easy; it's hard. You'll come across times where you feel like you can no longer go on. Don't give up. It's so easy to give up. Prove yourself wrong, it'll be worth it.



The more anger towards the past you carry in your heart, the less capable you are of loving in the present.



My hands, they're strong. But my knees were far to weak to stand in your arms without falling to your feet.



You don't choose who you fall for. You just fall and you get this person who is all wrong, but yet so right. You know that you like them so much, except sometimes they drive you insane and no one can explain.



There is no way to be a hundred percent sure about anyone or anything. So you’re left with a choice. Either hope for the best or just expect the worst.



I wear my heart on my sleeve, but I'm not naive. I know what it's like to be completely broken, and I'm all too familiar with what it feels like to be hurt. I know what it's like to see something funny and not laugh. I've been taken advantage of and used. My feelings have been blatantly disregarded. But I still believe that all people are good at heart. And my trust has not diminished. And to be honest, I hope it never does.




The American Government.
Casey Anthony: So it's kind of obvious that I either killed my kid or knew about it and don't give a fuck lol.
Court: Sounds good. You're free to go.
OJ Simpson: So after being found not guilty for killing my wife, I wrote a book about doing it. That's kinda just slapping it in your face that I did it and you let me go.
Court: Nah, I know you're a good guy.
Teenagers: I can't really afford CDs or iTunes, so I download my music so that I can -
Court: How dare you breathe



If a guy tells you he is different, he is just like all the others. If he really is different, he'll show you, not tell you.



Yeah, I do talk to other guys. I laugh with other guys, and I hug other guys. But don't you doubt for a second that any of them mean as much to me as you do.



People get lost when they think of happiness as a destination. We're always thinking that someday we'll be happy. You know, we'll get that car or that job, or that person in our lives that will fix everything. But happiness is a mood and a condition, not a destination. It's like being tired or hungry- it's not permanent. It comes and goes and that's okay. I feel like if people thought of it that way, they would find happiness more often.



“The claim that sex workers “sell our bodies” is not only logically absurd (I was a prostitute for years, but my body is still right here with me), but totally sexist because it is based on the notion that a woman’s sexuality is her entire worth. The belief behind this expression is that since a woman has nothing of value to offer except her sexuality, if she “sells” that she has “sold herself” and there is nothing left. The fact that anti-sex worker activists use this expression so often says a lot about them.”
— Maggie McNeal Commenting on Chicago Tribune article

“Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don’t complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don’t bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality . Wake Up and Live!”
— Bob Marley



“You can’t miss forever. No matter how close forever feels right now. You can’t hurt forever. Even if your heart whispers in your ear and tries to convince you otherwise. You can’t bleed forever. Sooner or later, you will either die or live. Neither of us can do anything for forever. Because forever passed away, long ago.”
— The Snow Falls on Forever (Hush)



“Am I arguing that girls and women shouldn’t be held responsible for their behaviour? Not at all. If a woman drinks to excess, then falls over in the street, loses her wallet and vomits all over her shirt, she has only herself to blame. But rape is not a consequence of getting drunk. It’s a consequence of a man deciding to rape someone.”
— Emily Maguire, Princesses & Pornstars: Sex, Power, Identity



Doctor: Are you sexually active?
Me: You mean for real or in my head? Cause in my head I'm a whore.



Hey America, I have a cute idea. At least sort out your health care system, hand gun violence, unemployment, public education, gay marriage, marijuana legislation and middle east conflict before you fuck around with the internet because lets face it, there are bigger issues in the world than someone uploading a photo with a musician in it.



“Take chances, take a lot of them. Because honestly, no matter where you end up and with whom, it always ends up just the way it should be. Your mistakes make you who you are. You learn and grow with each choice you make. Everything is worth it. Say how you feel, always. Be you, and be okay with it.”
— Unknown



"Here’s the truth about the truth, it hurts. So we lie." -Grey’s Anatomy



Because in a sense, it's the coming back, the return which gives meaning to the going forth. We really don't know where we've been until we've come back to where we were. Only, where we were may not be as it was because of who we've become. Which is, after all, why we left.



You can lose your boyfriend, you can lose your best friend. You can fail a class, you can get kicked out of your house. You can get robbed, you can get screwed over. You can lose parents, you can lose it all. Anything can happen, but it won't break you if you keep your faith. Always have faith and you'll get through anything.



I didn't plan on falling in love with you, and I doubt if you planned on falling in love with me. But once we met, it was clear that neither of us could control what was happening to us. We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has happened only once and that’s why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I’ll never forget a single moment of it.



"I guess if ever you were to ask me whether it was worth it, I would say yes. But still, it hurts."



"I've grown up so fast. From my first day of school, to my first day of high school. Everything has gone by like a blur. I'm moving so fast, I'm forgetting my purpose."



Do me a favor? I know it isn't your fault I don't trust people or their word, but can you do one thing for me? Don't make me a promise you can't keep. Do not trick me into thinking you are always going to be there because let's be honest, there is no way you could be unless you were attached to me. Then you would just get annoying. I know you're going to lie sometimes, I will too. I know you're going to get mad and frustrated and probably say some things you don't mean...we all do. I'm not going to be unrealistic in the things I ask from you, this is it. I think with this I can always be happy, with you.



In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life. It goes on.



It's not always right to stay in pain when you know you've already had too much. And it's not always wrong to be happy when you know it's about time you deserve to be.



If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together, there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. I'll always be with you.



When you finally get something good, enjoy it. Don’t go looking for something better.

Wait for the guy that pursues you. The one who will make an ordinary moment seem magical. The kind of guy that brings out the best of you and makes you want to be a better person. Wait for a guy that will be your best friend. Who will drop everything to be with you at any time. No matter what the circumstances. Wait for the guy who makes you smile like no one else. And when he smiles you know he needs you. Wait for the guy that wants to show you off to the world when you're in sweats and have no make up on, but loves it when you get all dolled up for him. And most of all, wait for the guy that will put you in the center of his universe because that's where you belong.

I won't give up on us, even if the skies get rough

“I think and think and think, I’ve thought myself out of happiness one million times, but never once into it.”
— Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close




“Oppressive language does more than represent violence; it is violence; does more than represent the limits of knowledge; it limits knowledge.”
— Toni Morrison, The Nobel Lecture in Literature



We think we know who we are but we don't, not until something bad happens to us.
-Pretty Little Liars



There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.



"He's not perfect. You aren't either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn't going to quote poetry, he's not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don't hurt him, don't change him, and don't expect more than he can give. Don't analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he's not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don't exist, but there's always one guy that is perfect for you." -Bob Marley



3 things I want in a relationship: Eyes that wont cry, lips than wont lie, and love that wont die. ~ Wiz Khalifa



To succeed in life you need three things: a wish bone, a back bone, and a funny bone.



You might be thinking, 'when he looks at me, I bet you he doesn't feel a thing.' But do any of us really know that? He could be looking at you and wishing you two didn't mess things up. He could still care about you, and you just don't want to believe it. Maybe he is really the one who would want you in his life, maybe not as much, but it's better than nothing at all, right?



I hate those moments right before you go to sleep, when you are forced to think about all the things you tried so hard to forget.

“It never occurred to me that our lives, until then so closely interwoven, could unravel and separate over a thing like that. But the fact was, I suppose, there were powerful tides tugging us apart by then, and it only needed something like that to finish the task. If we’d understood that back then – who knows? – maybe we’d have kept a tighter hold of one another.”
— Kazuo Ishiguro



“She came home from the hospital after her father passed covered in tears. I started crying and kept asking her ‘What can I do for you? Tell me how I can help’…And she looked up at me and said ‘Just hold me..’cause you’re the only thing that can fix me right now.’ ”
- Chris Martin on the inspiration for ‘Fix You’



I didn't have the heart to hurt you. That's the last thing I wanted to do. But I didn't have the heart to love you, not the way you wanted me too.




Just once I want someone to look at me and right away and think I was beautiful. Not after they get to know me, or after they see inside my soul, just me. I want to walk in a room and light up, not blend.



The ones depressed don’t dress in black. The ones who believe they’re fat don’t announce it. The ones scared don’t scream. The ones struggling don’t show their scars. The ones hurting the most are the ones hidden.



Eventually, everything ends. Age doesn't guarantee maturity. Love doesn't mean you'll always be together. Things don't always happen like you imagined. Being the bigger person, takes a big effort.



Just pretend you don't care. And don't be surprised when he comes crawling back saying he made a mistake. And if you want to go, go with him again. But make him work for you. Don't be his doormat. Don't let him in the first time he rings the bell. Make him come back every day until you trust him enough. If he doesn't come back after a couple of tries, just let him go. But if he comes back every day, then he's worth it. Trust me, he's worth it.



The minute you start enjoying yourself and the person who you've become, when you walk into a room with your head held high, the minute you wake up and are glad to be you, the possibilities and opportunities will come knocking at your door.



Before you, I was never so emotional. No one could make me cry, and no one made me think so hard. But now the tears flow like rain from the saddest sky there is, and my frantic thoughts are tearing me apart. I'm not going to let it end this way. I'm done feeling sorry for myself, and I'm done being broken, and I'm done letting you make me feel like that at all. I'm going to make myself stronger,no matter how I have to do it, because these thoughts are enough to drive someone insane, and I'm not going to let that be me anymore. I'm taking a stand.



I'm sorry for everything I'm not, but I know that I love you with everything I am.



I know you're upset about him. It's okay, be upset, cry, scream into your pillow till you think you've lost your voice. But looking back on this stupid boy who broke your heart in the future, you'll laugh at him, Laugh because he thought he was doing the right thing at the right time. Turns out he wasn't because he lost something amazing. And you'll thank him. Thank him for making you stronger, and to say to hell with him, I'm great. But most importantly you'll appreciate what he did, because without him leaving you wouldn't have found the amazing boy you're with now.



Everything you have been told is a lie. Things do not happen for a reason. They just occur and you deal with it. People will always leave you. Everybody has somebody they use. Everybody lies. Everyone gets mad and says things they do not mean. Watch your mouth, but more importantly watch your back. There is always someone standing there ready to stab you.



I tried so hard. You know that right? I tried harder than you could ever imagine, and now here I am, trying my best just to forget everything. Every piece of you, the way you smell, the feel of your skin. I can still feel you. I think I always will.



I'd like to think I never did those things, or never said that to you. But the truth is, I did and that's apart of me. I make mistakes, and I know who I am because of them. I lost you because of it, but to lose you meant to gain myself.



Sometimes, we're too into the moment to look at the big picture. We fail to see things in perspective because we're too absorbed in what's taking place at that very instance. The thing is we should face reality. Find ourselves from being lost in the moment and think about everything the way it is. Because sometimes being realistic can save us from pain and disappointment.



It’s not what you do, it’s how you do it. It’s not what you see, it’s how you look at it. It’s not how your life is, it’s how you live it.



You can't waste time over missing something in the past. Life changes, people grow up and grow apart, and you accept that. Yet you still can't stop thinking of how good it used to be; afraid you'd never experience it again, afraid you've already lived it and already lost it.



Because you don't deserve it. A second chance, let alone a third, fourth, fifth or six. I'm mad and sad. Mostly I'm jealous because I wish I'd had as many chances as you've been given. Because I know I'd take it seriously. I wouldn't take advantage of anyone. I wouldn't lead anyone on. I would try my hardest not to hurt anyone and that is so much more than I can say for you. I guess you're just used to getting whatever you want. I'm done.



Cheer up. You're not going to be single forever. Bottom line is, you're young. Don't base your future on your past.



It's weird. I mean, yeah, I miss you, but it's so much more than that. I miss the way my heart just stops at the sight of you and your smile, but the sad part is, it's not just your smile I'm missing. It's mine too.



I've always followed my heart instead of my head. I've always jumped, always took that leap of faith into the unknown, having no idea of what the outcome of my actions would be. But now, now it's so very clear. I need to stop following my heart. I just need to stop, before I do anything at all. I need to stop and think about it, about what I am about to do. I need to think about whether it is right or it is wrong. Because when you follow your heart, you lose track of what's right and what's wrong, and it tears you apart.



It's obvious that it's real love because you disgust me, and I put up with you willingly when nobody else will. Thought I could stick it out a few more years, but who's to say, you would actually stay.



In all honesty, I don't think people change. At the end of the day, you are who you are, and probably who you have always been.



I'm so tired of people needing a reason for doing everything in their lives. Do it because you want to. Because it's fun. Because it makes you happy.



No matter what you do, bad or good, people are always gonna have something to say about it. Just remember this: if people always have something to say about your life, that's saying little about their own. Keep your head up, stay strong, and just breathe. Live. If you needed some encouragement today, this is it. So don't waste it. Pass it on, spread it, but most importantly believe it.



The minute you start enjoying yourself and the person who you've become, when you walk into a room with your head held high, the minute you wake up and are glad to be you, the possibilities and opportunities will come knocking at your door.



When I was five years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down, "happy." They told me I didn't understand the assignment, I told them they didn't understand life.



After a while, you just can't cry anymore. You just have to believe that what happens in what's supposed to happen, and well, you can't change that even if you tried. So just dry the tears and hope that tomorrow will be a better day.



Did I mention, when I see you it stings like hell, due to the fact that we could have something?



When I was with him, I didn't have to be perfect, or even try for perfect. He already knew my secrets, the things I'd kept hidden from everyone else, so I could just be myself. Which shouldn't have been such a big deal. But it was.



I like the feeling of always having someone chasing after me, wanting to win me over, and constantly fighting for me. But in all honestly, they will never win me over. I have had my mind and heart set on him for way to long to ever give the other boys a second glance.



"My four walls came down that day. It was a horrible awakening. I learned the meaning of the word hate. I understood what it is like to lose the only thing that ever mattered to me. Simply because I hadn't mattered much to him at all."



I tried to move on. I really did. I tried to tell myself that you don't want me and I can't have you anymore. I tried so hard, but how can you let go of the only person who makes you happy? The only person who makes you feel alive? The only reason you're still here? You cant just "let go" of someone like that.



I can’t be with someone who has doubts, no matter how small they are. I need someone who wants to be with me as much as I want to be with them. I don’t want just part of your heart, I want all of it, and you can’t promise me that.



You know those people who can predict when change is coming in their life? I'm not one of them. Change has a way of walking up and punching me in the face.



“I have wanted to kill myself a hundred times, but somehow I am still in love with life. This ridiculous weakness is perhaps one of our most melancholy propensities; for is there anything more stupid than to be eager to go on carrying a burden which one would gladly throw away, to loathe one’s very being and yet to hold fast, to fondle the snake that devours us until it has eaten our hearts away?”
— Voltaire



"Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."
Martin Luther King Jr.



"Formerly I believed books were made like this: a poet came, lightly opened his lips, and the inspired fool burst into song – if you please! But it seems, before they can launch a song, poets must tramp for days with callused feet, and the sluggish fish of the imagination flounders softly in the slush of the heart. And while, with twittering rhymes, they boil a broth of loves and nightingales, the tongueless street merely writhes for lack of something to shout or say."
Vladimir Mayakovsky, The Bedbug and Selected Poetry



"What horrifies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age." -Sylvia Plath



"You just do it. You force yourself to get up. You force yourself to put one foot before the other, and God damn it, you refuse to let it get to you. You fight. You cry. You curse. Then you go about the business of living. That’s how I’ve done it. There’s no other way."
Elizabeth Taylor



"It is difficult to see ourselves as we are. Sometimes we are fortunate enough to have good friends, lovers or others who will do us the good service of telling us the truth about ourselves. When we don’t, we can so easily delude ourselves, lose a sense of truth about ourselves, and our conscience loses power and purpose. Mostly, we tell ourselves what we would like to hear. We lose our way."
Jon Katz



Letting go is hard, but it's better to let go than to hold on to something that was never meant to be. So hold your head high, gorgeous, and stay strong because once you let go, better things are going to come along.



So, please, just be patient. I'm so afraid to care about someone. I know it seems like I'm this strong girl who can get through anything, but inside I'm very fragile. I've had so many things thrown at me, and each one has only made a crack. What I'm afraid of is shattering.



It's funny how the less you talk, the more you begin to realize it was not meant to be. It's funny how slow it began, and how fast it ended. It's funny how in the beginning he liked you, but in the end he like someone else. It's funny how he meant everything to you, but you meant nothing to him.



Maybe sometimes you have to stop waiting for someone to come along and fix what's wrong. Maybe you have to stop feeling sorry for yourself and realize that no one else has the answer. Sometimes you have to be your own hero.



You don't get it do you? You made it so fucking easy to walk away. I never settle for less than I deserve. I deserve someone who actually cares. It took me way to long to realize that I was just some sort of game to you. I don't want some sort of apology, I just want you out of my life, even if that means forever.



I needed something to go right so badly that I convinced myself it was real. Even though I think, deep down, I knew it wasn't. I think I knew he was going to leave, I just didn't want to believe it.



You're letting her think that you're emotionally available. You're letting her think she has a chance. And there's nothing worse in the world, than thinking you have a chance when really you don't.



Scared as hell to want you, but here I am, wanting you anyway. And fear means I have something to lose, right? And I don't want to lose you. So this is it, this is love. Giving you the power to break me, but trusting you not to.



I am the kind of girl who enjoys the chase. I get a thrill when it comes to winning someone over and making them fall in love with me. Then when rough times in a relationship emerge, I run off kicking and screaming. I analyzed my actions once. I came to the conclusion that I'm afraid of getting too close to someone because I'm scared to get hurt. When a boy takes one step forward, I take three steps back. I've done this my whole life. It is my greatest downfall, the reason I have lost so many loves.



Never underestimate the strength of karma, sometimes it takes a while, but eventually it will play out,and people will get what they deserve. Then you will finally be able to have a good laugh.



The best feeling in the world is finally knowing you took a step in the right direction, a step towards the future where everything that you never thought was possible is possible.



Anyone can easily walk away from somebody else. Nobody is forced to stay, we all have choices. The real test is if someone would rather stay with you, even though walking away could be so much easier.



i have this weird self esteem problem where i hate myself yet i still think i’m better than everyone else



Something always brings me back to you. It never takes too long. No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here til the moment I'm gone. Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity. Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.



I know you've changed, but when I talk to you, it's like we're the same two people we always were.



Not everything turns into what it's supposed to be. And not everybody is supposed to just walk out of your life. Sometimes surprises and second chances do happen. And when they do, don't be afraid to let them happen.



I love how we're not kissy all the time. How we can argue and just mess around. We don't have to show other people how much we love each other, because all that really matters is that both you and I know.



In every language, how to say hello and goodbye are taught at the same time for a reason. Because the hardest times in your life will revolve around those two phrases.



Tell me I'm not making a mistake. Tell me that you're worth the wait, that you're always going to be here. Make me believe that I'm making the right decision by still holding on. Show me that you're going to be around to catch me when I fall.



I think everybody just needs someone to believe in them. Someone to think they're beautiful, someone to think they're amazing. I need that person. Can you can be that for me?



Scientist: The average person spends 13 hours online per week
Me: lol



You wanna get over him? Here's my advice. Fill your schedule. Have no spare time because every time you have a moment to yourself, your mind will find it's way right to him and you'll be just as fucked as you were before.



I say I'm over him but am I really? Of course not, he was the boy that I got butterflies in my stomach when I saw him. The boy I waited for to come online, the boy that if he smiled at me, nothing else could bring me down. But he is also the boy that didn't love me back. So if anyone asks, I'll just say, "Oh him? He was nothing." When he was everything and more.



"Books can be possessive, can’t they? You’re walking around in a bookstore and a certain one will jump out at you, like it had moved there on its own, just to get your attention. Sometimes what’s inside will change your life, but sometimes you don’t even have to read it. Sometimes it’s a comfort just to have a book around. Many of these books haven’t even had their spines cracked. ‘Why do you buy books you don’t even read?’ our daughter asks us. That’s like asking someone who lives alone why they bought a cat. For company, of course."
Sarah Addison Allen



Never give up on anyone. Miracles happen everyday.



And sometimes someone can mean so much to you, not even the truth can change your mind.



“Remember, we're madly in love, so it's all right to kiss me anytime you feel like it.”
- The Hunger Games



Your heart, its never wrong. It may get you in some deep crap but it was all what you wanted. So follow your heart, even if that means breaking the rules. I promise you will sleep much better knowing you did what made you happy than wondering 'what if?



Long distance is hard. You have to trust that as you each change on your own, your relationship will also change along with you. It takes hope, good humor and idealism. It takes a massive dose of courage to protect the relationship at all odds. It is hard, but worth it. You'll both be stronger as a result.



You give me more courage than anyone I have ever known. I'd skydive off a plane if I knew you'd be there right beside me. That's what life is about. It's those moments when you feel entirely carefree, like nothing can touch you. It's those moments that make the hard parts worth it, those moments when I'm with you.

"It’s amazing how you can get so far from where you’d planned, and yet find it was exactly where you needed to be."
Sarah Dessen



"You will lose someone you can’t live without,and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp."
Anne Lamott



"But it was unpleasant for her to read, that is, to follow the reflection of other people’s lives. She wanted too much to live herself."
Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina



"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death."
Robert Fulghum, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten



There’s a reason why two people stay together. They give each other something nobody else can.



He talked to her again, as friends. It's been a while, but his eyes were just as brown and his smile was just as bright as always. He made her smile, he made her fall in love, again.

friend: (looking at favorite character) ooh, he's good looking! who is he?
me: (fighting an urge to elaborate his whole history and woes and the hardships that he has to face and his relationships with other characters which in turn will have to be explained and how he is so fantastic and amazing and his character is so complex and i could possibly write a ten-page essays regarding him and oh the people who he is shipped with and my own OTP and how mine is the best but that's ok because he's that fucking badass that anyone would be happy to have him but i mostly ship him with myself and his favorite past-times and his style in clothing and pretty much a biography of him)
me: uhm, that's my favorite character. he's cool.



hot guy: hi

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, suffering, struggle, loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross



Something you should know.
If you start talking to me everyday and night, I’m obviously going to get attachted to you. Even if I never planned to in the first place, I will. So before you start getting close to me, make sure that you won’t just suddenly leave me. Because you know, that happens to me a lot.

Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.



There is no way to be a hundred percent sure about anyone or anything. So you’re left with a choice. Either hope for the best or just expect the worst.



What we can't have is what we replay in our heads over and over again before we sleep. -Taylor Swift



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.

"We could imagine all sorts of universes unlike this one, but this is the one that happened."
Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close



"There are certain people who come into your life, and leave a mark… Their place in your heart is tender; a bruise of longing, a pulse of unfinished business. Just hearing their names pushes and pulls at you in a hundred ways, and when you try to define those hundred ways, describe them even to yourself, words are useless."
Sara Zarr, Sweethearts



"My soul is impatient with itself, as with a bothersome child; its restlessness keeps growing and is forever the same. Everything interests me, but nothing holds me."
Fernando Pessoa



"What you tell me about in the nights. That is not love. That is only passion and lust. When you love you wish to do things for. You wish to sacrifice for. You wish to serve."
Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms



"Let’s face it: I’m scared, scared and frozen. First, I guess I’m afraid for myself, the old primitive urge for survival. It’s getting so I live every moment with terrible intensity. It all flowed over me with a screaming ache of pain, remember, remember, this is now, and now, and now. Live it, feel it, cling to it. I want to become acutely aware of all I’ve taken for granted. When you feel that this may be goodbye, the last time, it hits you harder."
Sylvia Plath



"When you love someone… truly love them, friend or lover, you lay your heart open to them. You give them a part of yourself that you give to no one else, and you let them inside a part of you that only they can hurt—you literally hand them the razor with a map of where to cut deepest and most painfully on your heart and soul. And when they do strike, it’s crippling—like having your heart carved out. It leaves you naked and exposed, wondering what you did to make them want to hurt you so badly when all you did was love them. What is so wrong with you that no one can keep faith with you? That no one can love you? To have it happen once is bad enough… but to have it repeated? Who in their right mind would not be terrified of that?"
- Sherrilyn Kenyon



"You are willing to die, you coward, but not to live."
Hermann Hesse

Dear whoever is reading this, you're beautiful and someone out there is crazy about you. So smile. Life is too short to be unhappy.



"I am so busy keeping my head above water that I scarcely know who I am, much less who anyone else is"
Sylvia Plath



"The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them."
Ernest Hemingway



"If you want to write, if you want to create, you must be the most sublime fool that God ever turned out and sent rambling. You must write every single day of your life. You must read dreadful dumb books and glorious books, and let them wrestle in beautiful fights inside your head, vulgar one moment, brilliant the next. You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads. I wish you a wrestling match with your Creative Muse that will last a lifetime. I wish craziness and foolishness and madness upon you. May you live with hysteria, and out of it make fine stories — science fiction or otherwise. Which finally means, may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world."
Ray Bradbury

“I’m in love with you, and I’m not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you.”
— John Green

I don't just want to be a footnote in someone else's happiness...

“‎So avoid using the word ‘very’ because it’s lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don’t use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women - and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do.”
— Dead Poets Society, 1989



“If we wait until we’re ready, we’ll be waiting for the rest of our lives.”
— Lemony Snicket



I want someone who knows how
completely insane I am, yet
wouldn't want it any other way.



I've been waiting my whole life for the right guy to come along,
and then you showed up and you're nothing like the man I imagined.
You're cynical and cranky and impossible. But the truth is fighting
with you is the best thing that's ever happened to me and I think
there's a very good chance I'm falling in love with you.



We'll be together soon, our story's
just begun. Time will bring us near.
I'll never be too far. Oh baby, don't
you fear, I'll always be where you are.



People are always talking about how
hard it is to find a good man, but
nowadays it's hard to even find a
good person. It's so hard to just even
find a person to talk to; someone who
will just listen and not judge, someone
who will just take you as you are.



Communication. It's the first thing
we really learn in life. Funny thing
is, once we grow up, learn our
words, and really start talking, the
harder it becomes to know what to
say or how to ask for what
we really need.



And you get to a point where you
stop feeling sorry for yourself. You
realize no one's going to save you, so
you have to save yourself. You turn
your life around, not knowing where
you're going, just knowing that
you'll do anything, anything to be happy again.



missing someone gets easier every day because even
though it’s one day further from the last time you saw
each other, it’s one day closer to the next time you will.



the world may never know every detail of your life,
but that’s because they don’t care. but when you find
the ones that want to know every detail, they’re the keepers.



you act like i am going to give my heart to
anyone, like one of those smiley face stickers
at walmart. "hello, please take my heart, &
have a nice day." no way, i'm waiting for the
a guy who is going to sweep my off my feet.



Everyone comes with baggage from previous
relationships. If you’re lucky though,
you’ll find someone who's willing
to love you enough to stand there & help you unpack.



The women who don't seek attention are usually the
women you need to be giving your attention to.



Whatever makes you mad; leave it.
Whatever makes you smile; keep it.



I don't understand how you can love someone so much but a day
later your with her and acting like i never even crossed your mind.



We're gonna do what lovers do,
we're gonna have a fight or two;
but I ain't ever changing my mind.



Sometimes, all a girl wants is for you to fight for her.
Make her believe that you want this relationship
more than she does.



me: he is my baby
friend: he's like over 30
me: my baby grows up so fast i know



I like being alone, but I hate the feeling of being lonely. When you’re alone, you have time for yourself. Your thoughts finally catch up to you. You set your mind on things and everything is just clearer. Nothing’s bothering you and everything just feels right for once. When you feel lonely, you feel as if no one’s there for you. It feels like no one understands you or is willing to listen. It feels like you’re screaming in a crowded room, yet not one person hears you.



You need to know. Everyone deserves love without terms and conditions. Everyone has a right to live their life the way they want. Everyone has the right to be happy without feeling guilty. No one deserves abuse. No one is not good enough for healthy love. No one has the right to hurt anyone. Everyone can be happy. Everyone feels completely alone and lost sometimes. It is okay to be yourself. It's okay to do what you want to do. It's okay to be happy with yourself, your life. It's okay to say no. You need to be honest, with everyone and yourself. Live your life, be honest, love everyone - everything you can, don't listen to anyone but yourself, do anything you want as long as it's not hurting someone else, don't take shit, you deserve the best, you can have it if you want it bad enough.



My life hasn't been spectacular lately.
I don't ever tell people how I'm feeling and
I think it's all built up. I'm having bad day after bad day.
I need to get out of this rut I'm in.



one day you'll learn to live for no one but yourself and when
that day comes then you'll know true happiness



But don't forget who you really are. And I’m not talking
about your so-called real name. All names are made up
by someone else, even the one your parents gave you. You
know who you really are. When you’re alone at night, looking
up at the stars, or maybe lying in your bed in total
darkness, you know that nameless person inside you. Your
muscles will toughen. So will your heart and soul. That’s
necessary for survival. But don’t lose touch with that person
deep inside you, or else you won’t really have survived at all.



If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything.



Look at you. You’re young and you’re scared. Why are you so scared? Stop being paralyzed. Stop swallowing your words. Stop caring what other people think. Wear what you want, say what you want, listen to the music you want to listen to. Go out for a drive at midnight and forget you have school the next day. Stop waiting for Friday. Live now. Do it now. Take risks. Tell secrets. This life is yours. When are you going to realize that?



I will always have problems trusting people.
I’ll never think that anything will last.
Friendships and relationships, all of them just seem doomed.
But I still try, for the rest of my life, I will try.



I guess you're right; I'm afraid. I'm afraid to put my guard down. I'm afraid that if you know who I am, you won't feel the same. And I'm afraid that once my barrier is defeated and I'm comfortable, that you'll walk away.



I've learned that goodbyes will always hurt. Pictures never replace having been there. Memories, good or bad, will always bring tears. And words can never replace feelings.



Falling out of love is chiefly a matter of forgetting how charming someone is.



I constantly wonder how my life looks in other peoples lives. Do they think I have it easy? Do they think I have nothing going for myself? Or are they fascinated with who I am? The thing is no one will ever know my whole story. No one will ever know the things I've had to overcome. Not even my closest friends, not even my own family. People are so quick to judge now a days. You only see a person from what they want and allow you to see. I always try to look as put together as i can, and I guess that's my way of hiding from the truth. It's just that way that everyone will assume that every thing in my life is okay. That I never go through anything. If only everyone knew how broken I am, and how I'm holding on for dear life on this one last strand thats recently become very delicate. The truth is no one really knows me. No one will ever know me, and sometimes that really scares me.



A girl can wait for the right man to come along, but in the meantime that doesn't mean she can't have a wonderful time with all the wrong ones.



I think everyone has a side where they are depressed and unhappy. Some people ignore it. Some people try to change it. Some people completely show it. And some people, they deal with it.



At this age, everything is changing. Day by day we don’t notice, but just look back over the past year and you will realize everything has. People you thought were going to be there forever aren’t, and people you never imagined you’d be speaking to are now some of your closest friends. Life makes little sense, and the more we grow the less sense it will make. So make the most of it now, before it all changes once again, because in the near future, all of this is only going to be memories.



You know why it's hard to be happy?
It's because we refuse to let go of the things that make us sad.



Smile beautifully. Smile big. Smile confidently. That way everyone thinks you’ve got all kinds of secret things going on. That keeps them wanting more. And when they want more, you’re automatically interesting.



Even though you are a liar, if you told me, right now, that you loved me and that you were sorry, I would believe you.



The minute you think you're going to lose something, it suddenly becomes the most important thing in your life.



We are all someone else when we are alone. When we are alone, we are allowed to dream without limits, to cry till our voices are hoarse, to laugh till we cant breathe anymore. When we are alone we are who we really want to be.



Now, it's back to the way we started. Strangers.



Good judgment comes from experience.
Sometimes, experience comes from bad judgment.



Here's a toast. To the good days, the better friends. The ones that you just can't live without.



We are who we are because we made ourselves that way. No one comes into your body and changes the way you act. Sure they have an influence but in the end, it's all up to you how you want to live your life.



He wants to be with her. And she, whether she'll admit it or not, wants to be with him, too. And yet they're not together, which is not only unjust, but really, when you think about it, tragic.



I believe in love. And jamming out in the car by yourself. I believe in someone telling you you're beautiful and dancing in the rain and in miracles. I believe in smiling until your cheeks hurt and laughing until you pee. Last, I believe in second chances no matter how bad people screw up.



I think we all want to feel something that we've forgotten or turned our backs on because maybe we didn't realize how much we were leaving behind.



parents: "can we use your computer for a minute"
me: wipes internet history deletes bookmarks changes passwords changes desktop wallpaper encrypts all folders installs internet explorer opens it up at google
me: "yeah sure here you go"



You're the reason I constantly check my text messages, the reason I go to sleep smiling, the reason I walk into school on a monday in a good mood. You're the reason.



Sometimes I wish I could just turn it all off. I wish I didn't feel anything, for you, for anything and anyone. Because feelings hurt. The moment you let your emotions take control, you're fucked. I suppose you just have to decide whether it's all going to be worth it or not, the troubles that come with love. Because of course, he's going to hurt you. But if you really believe that in the end you will come out of it alive, together, then by all means go for it. I just hope that it all turns out well for you.



I'm not going to spend my life chasing people. You wanna leave? Fine then, go ahead. 'Cause I'm done with chasing and caring for people who never had interest in me. Nothing lasts and people change. I've learned love is hard and life is strange.



"Where love is concerned, too much is not even enough."




If you're strong enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello.



Being a strong person means knowing that in the end, everything's going to be okay.if something's meant to be, then you have to know that no matter what, it will find a way.



My parents said that I was special, that I wear my heart on my sleeve. But really, I just trust people too easily. I usually create a false image of who I want them to be instead of who they really are. Soon, it's the fantasy person I trust. I believe it when they say, "I'm your friend" or "you can trust me" or "I truly care about you." I'm the cause of my own downfall. I trust people too easily. But I learned my lesson; trust no one.



Katie Couric: ...you were once quoted saying, "I'm kind of a guy, but I like the crusade of a girl." What did you mean by that?
Chelsea Handler: I feel like more of a guy in that I don't like to be tied down and I'm not dying to get married or to procreate. I respect those desires, but I don't have them. But I like the crusade of a girl, because it says I can do things my way and create a new path for myself that's not based on what anybody did for me.



When I lost you, I didn't know I would lose me too.



I never know what to say to you when you ask me what's wrong. I mean, how can I tell you that you're all I want, and knowing that I can't have you tears me apart?



A boy sits in his room. With unseen tears running down his face. Not about to end anytime soon. He sits in his bed, and reaches under his pillow. He pulls out that hidden notebook with the pages filled. Page by page, he rips them out, the memories of her, good or bad. The only person he ever loved was this girl. He kept tearing at the pages, trying to let the feelings go, trying to forget the girl who just shattered his heart into pieces. Not too far away from the boy's home, sits a girl. All alone. With music blaring and tears not heard. Her head is down, actions speak louder then words. Her hair falls down, all over her face, so messed up, so misplaced. Unheard tears streaming down her face, as if they will never end. She understands that things will never be the same. She takes out her notebook and a pen. Starting to write of anything that comes to mind. She tries not to think about the boy. Because the only pain worse than having your heart broken, is breaking your own.



I tried to distance myself from you. I tried being the better person in this situation. We haven't talked for weeks and it kills me inside but I'm convinced its for the best.



A healthy relationship keeps the doors and windows wide open. Plenty of air is circulating and no one feels trapped. Relationships thrive in this environment. Keep your doors and windows open. If this person is meant to be in your life, all the open doors and windows in the world will not make them leave. Trust that truth.



I'm willing to lay everything on the line for you, my heart included, but you're not even willing to set a foot down? Tell me, how do you expect me to care when you don't at all?



I know I sort of pushed you away. But even if I hadn't done that, I doubt you would have stayed.



We keep on sticking to who we like, that's why we never noticed those who like us. Sometimes we're dying for someone who doesn't even care, while somebody's already dead trying to please us.



You know, some people say life is short and that you could get hit by a bus at any moment and that you have to live each day like it's your last. Bullshit. Life is long. You're probably not gonna get hit by a bus. And you're gonna have to live with the choices you make for the next fifty years.



Sometimes we learn something about the past that changes everything we know about the present.



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?



I wish I had the guts to walk away and forget about what we had. But I can't because I know you won't come after me and I guess that's what hurts the most.



The thing is, you make me happy. You walked in when it seemed like the rest of the
world walked out. You were there, you are there. I never need to pretend when I am
around you, when I am talking, when I am with you. You are hilarious, you make me
laugh all the time. You seem to pick up when something is wrong before everyone else
does, and you know exactly what to say to make it all okay. And even if it is only for
a little while, it helps. The thing is, I might love you. And thank you.



Every girl thinks she can change a player. But the truth is, it's not the player that needs to change, it's the girl. Every player is on a mission; to find that one girl that makes them lose their desire to play.

“The worst thing is loving someone when you know you shouldn’t anymore. It’s caring about someone, wondering how they are and what they’re up to when the truth is they’ve stopped wondering about you a long time ago. The worst thing is remembering every single detail of your relationship when he’s obviously long forgotten about you. The worst thing is missing him so much when he doesn’t even realize you’re gone, the worst thing is feeling the same as you ever did, knowing you shouldn’t, because he doesn’t anymore.”



Professor McGonagall: Is it true that you shouted at Professor Umbridge?
Harry Potter: Yes.
Professor McGonagall: You called her a liar?
Harry Potter: Yes.
Professor McGonagall: You told her He Who Must Not Be Named is back?
Harry Potter: Yes.
Professor McGonagall: Have a biscuit, Potter.



“She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break – her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.”
— Bob Marley



Tumblr employee: I have an idea! Why don't we make asks more user friendly. Y'know, allow line breaks, links, don't immediately delete the message from your inbox once you've replied...
Karp: NO I HAVE A BETTER IDEA LET'S CREATE AN ENTIRELY SEPARATE MESSAGING SERVICE FROM OUR EXISTING ONE OMG IT WILL BE SO MUCH BETTER
Tumblr employee: But it seems like it might be easier to-
Karp: WHO IS THE 25 YEAR OLD MILLIONAIRE HERE? THIS WILL BE GREAT. WE'LL MAKE THIS NEW SERVICE EVERYTHING THAT ASKS COULD NEVER BE
Tumblr employee: But they could be if we just-
Karp: SHUT UP OK WE'RE GIVING THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT
Tumblr employee: Higher gif size? No more ask limit? Notifications when someone replies?
Karp: UGLY FONTS. MAN, THIS IS SOME GOOD COCAINE.
Tumblr employee: No wonder everyone uses missing e...
Karp: DON'T SPEAK THAT NAME IN MY PRESENCE YOU'RE FIRED



Things Tumblr needs: unlimited asks, +500kb gif size, more photosets layouts, chance to tag hyphens, chance to USE hyphens in urls without tricks, replies notifications, instant messaging, option to know when someone's online
Things Karp gives us: fanmail



“Keepers of private notebooks are a different breed altogether, lonely and resistant rearrangers of things, anxious malcontents, children afflicted apparently at birth with some presentiment of loss.”
— Joan Didion, “On Keeping a Notebook”



Actual conversation from the Tumblr office.
David Karp: Everyone, I have a genius idea; FAN MAIL.
Person: Uhhh, what?
David Karp: Fan mail, you can send someone an online message and they can send one back!
Person: So... basically an ask?
David Karp: Well, yes and no. It's like an ask but it has different fonts. CRAZY FONTS.
Person 2: What if you could change the background into different types of paper?
David Karp: GENIUS, YOU'RE HIRED. You're now the lead community designer engineer.
Person 2: I don't have any website or business experience, I've never even used a computer before and I'm homeless.
David Karp: Doesn't matter, no one here is qualified. Our accountant is a horse with a bow tie.



Sometimes, we're too into the moment to look at the big picture. We fail to see things in perspective because we're too absorbed in what's taking place at that very instance. The thing is we should face reality. Find ourselves from being lost in the moment and think about everything the way it is. Because sometimes being realistic can save us from pain and disappointment.



*a friends speech on my wedding day*
friend: I still remember her hanging up a poster of him, and she told me that she was going to marry him. We laughed about it, but it turned out that she was right.



Me a few years ago: fake name fake location fake age fake dog name put on mask if someone asks for a picture change voice if calling someone
Me now: lol do u guys wanna know my blood type




Karp: Fanmail was unveiled this morning. How did the community receive it?
Tumblr staff: Based on the reactions we've seen, it seems to be one of the most unpopular and needless additions we've made thus far!
Karp: Yes... yes that's perfect. Say it again. Slower.
Tumblr staff: Sir? There is... a small problem.
Karp: GOOD. I THRIVE ON PROBLEMS. What is it? Does the page crash when you try to send any fanmail? Does it unleash a virus into your computer? Most importantly, can we blame it on Missing E?
Tumblr staff: It's not anything like that. It's... the community has discovered that we haven't put any limits on the fanmail option. No character limits. No hourly limit. We're afraid they might be using it to.... COMMUNICATE.
Karp:
Tumblr staff:
Karp:
Tumblr staff:
Karp: Shut. It. Down.



Hey Theodore Roosevelt, remember that time someone tried to assassinate you, but you just laughed and proceeded to give a 90-minute long speech with the bullet lodged in your lung, where it remained for the rest of your life? Or when you tore up your leg after being thrown into piranha-infested waters while exploring uncharted Brazil? Or all those times you broke your ribs from falling off horses while doing bad-ass jumps? Or when you destroyed the sight in your left eye in a White House boxing match? Or that time you killed a cougar in a knife fight (seriously.)? And how the only way death could finally get to you was in your sleep, in the early morning on this day in 1919. Here's to TR as the infinite inspiration for pure, condensed badassery. ;)



before I shower: ugh damn it i'm too lazy and i don't want to shower
when I'm in the shower: jesus christ this is the most relaxing thing ever it's like a vacation in my own bathroom so warm so magical this is holy water that's been blessed by god himself i never want to leave this spot.



“I’m not an easy person to love. There are lots of times when I’m a very good boyfriend, but there are times when I’m useless. I’m a mess around the house. I talk nonstop. I become obsessed with things — fantasy football, most recently. And she loves me for my oddness, my awkwardness, all of those things that I hate about myself.”
— Daniel Radcliffe on girlfriend, Rosanne Coker



“Go after her. Fuck, don’t sit there and wait for her to call, go after her because that’s what you should do if you love someone, don’t wait for them to give you a sign cause it might happen to you, or her, she’s not a fucking television show or a tornado. There are people I might have loved had they gotten on the airplane or run down the street after me or called me up drunk at four in the morning because they need to tell me right now and because they cannot regret this and I always thought I’d be the only one doing crazy things for people who would never give enough of a fuck to do it back or to act like idiots or be entirely vulnerable and honest and making someone fall in love with you is easy and flying 3000 miles on four days notice because you can’t just sit there and do nothing and breathe into telephones is not everyone’s idea of love, but it is the way I can recognize it because that is what I do. Go scream it and be with her in meaningful ways because that is beautiful and that is generous and that is what loving someone is, that is raw and that is unguarded, and that is all that is worth anything, really.”

“I will remember the kisses, our lips raw with love,
and how you gave me everything you had
and how I offered you what was left of me.”
— Charles Bukowski



She likes you a lot, she just has a funny way of showing it. But hey, so do you.



The reasons I'm alone I know by heart. But I don't want to spend forever in the dark. I swear next time I'll hang on for dear life. If love ever gives me another try.



it was odd his deep blue eyes met my brown, and we didn't look away. for a moment we were caught in this awkward, staring, glance-like thing and then he did the most amazing thing when he finally looked away .. he smiled.



You and I were different. We came from different worlds, and
yet you were the one who taught me the value of love.



Things don't always change with a bang. Sometimes they change so gradually that you can't clearly pinpoint the last moment they were truly the same.



Let's be hasty, and let's be reckless. Just being with you leaves me breathless.



Life is what we make
it, always has been, always will be.



Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do.
But to hold it together when everyone else would
understand if you fell apart, that's true strength



Sometimes you have to put a fake smile on
and pretend like it all never happened.
It’s not called giving up, its called growing up.



I don't want to end up making
promises that I don't have any
intentions of keeping. And I don't
want to end up saying things that
I don't really feel.
++ Boy Meets World



Don't over think things. Your first reaction was probably spot on.
Just go with your gut and follow your instinct.



Did you ever wonder if dreams come true,
if love songs & fairy tales were ever meant for you?
did you ever wonder what's at the rainbows end,
or if romeo & juliet could ever happen again?



“That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you’re not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.”
— F. Scott Fitzgerald



“Realizing that other people have a problem with [homosexuality] was the weirdest thing for me. As a kid it wasn’t even something that was mentioned. It was never something that was even explained to me. It was just, “That’s Mark and he’s gay.” Mark was just another friend of my dad’s who would talk about his boyfriend instead of his girlfriend. I was 5. I didn’t care. It seemed perfectly normal, and still does….It just drives me crazy…that people can make such sweeping, ignorant statements and bring religion into it….Why would you want a god that’s up there picking and choosing who he lets in?…That doesn’t make any sense.”
— Daniel Radcliffe




“Have you seen most of the plus-size sections out there? It’s horrifying. Whoever’s designing for plus-size doesn’t get it. The entire garment needs to be reconceived. You can’t just take a size 8 and make it larger. In my travels, I’ve been an advocate for larger women. I’ve been talking to designers, but only a half-dozen make an effort. Most say, ‘I don’t want a woman who’s a size 10 or 11 wearing my clothes.’ Well, shame on you! It’s not realistic. We need to address real women with real needs.”
— Tim Gunn



love isn't easy; it's damn hard.
it makes you go through things
that you hoped you would never have to.
but the marvelous thing about love is
that it's always worth it in the end.



Tell me I'm not making a mistake. Tell me that you're worth
the wait, that you're always going to be here. Make me believe
that I'm making the right decision by still holding on. Show me
that you're going to be around to catch me when I fall.



I don't know how people can laugh in photos and
|still look pretty & I look like an awkward horse?



mom: wow honey you're so beautiful you could get any person you want
people on the internet: you're so pretty why are you single
your crush: get out of my way you demented potato



Flirting 101 with Psych
Gus: Hey... did you hear about Pluto? That's messed up, right?
Shawn: Baby... all your facial parts are in the right spot.
Gus: A crime in progress. She's stealing my heart but I am not pressing charges.



a friend introduces you to their friend
new person: hey hows it going
me: hey not bad how about yourself
new person: good, good.
me:
new person:
me:
new person:
me:
new person:
me: you smell good



That awkward moment when your parents tell you to stand in line, &
you're near the cashier & they haven't come back yet..



It's easy to take off all your clothes and
have sex, people do it all the time.
But opening up your soul to someone and letting
them into your thoughts, fears, future, hopes, and dreams;
That's being naked.



If you love someone,
be brave enough to tell them,
otherwise, be brave enough
to watch them be loved by someone else.



I hate leaving my house confident and
looking good and then not seeing
anyone of importance the entire day.
What a waste...



A good morning text does not only mean "Good morning".
It has a silent, loving message that says:
"I think of you when I wake up."



Four Lessons on Life
1. Never take down a fence until you know why it was put up.
2. If you get too far ahead of the army, your soldiers may mistake you for the enemy.
3. Don't complain about the bottom rungs of the ladder; they helped to get you higher.
4. If you want to enjoy the rainbow, be prepared to endure the storm.



I tried so hard. You know that, right? I tried harder than you could ever imagine, and now here I am, trying my best just to forget everything. Every piece of you, the way you smell, the feel of your skin. I can still feel you. I think I always will.



Assume that people are good until you actually and specifically learn differently. And even then, know that they have the potential for change and that you can help them out.



So, please, just be patient. I'm so afraid to care about someone. I know it seems like I'm this strong girl who can get through anything, but inside I'm very fragile. I've had so many things thrown at me, and each one has only made a crack. What I'm afraid of is shattering.



“It’s a strange thing, how you can love somebody, how you can be all eaten up inside with needing them – and they simply don’t need you. That’s all there is to it, and neither of you can do anything about it. And they’ll be the same way with someone else, and someone else will be the same way about you and it goes on and on – this desperate need – and only once in a rare million do the same two people need each other.”
— Madeleine L’Engle
