Haven't posted quotes in awhile, but here are some more. And I haven't mentioned it in my previous blogs (at least I don't think so) but I don't take credit for most of these quotes. For the ones I have made up, I haven't bothered to high-light them and claim them, because that's not what these quotes are for.  So I hope you enjoy these. I'll post a couple of poems next time.

----------------------- Quotes -----------------------

So this is my life and I want you to know that I am both happy and sad. And I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.

Time passes and things change. In the next minute, things will never be the same.

If I could spend every minute of every day with you, I would.I think about you all the time. I think about you when I go to bed, and you're the first thing I think about when I wake up. I can't go trough a day without wanting to see you, needing to see you. You're addicting. I don't get it, what is it about you?

I just want to be the girl you talk about, the only one you couldn't live without...To be the one who makes your heart beat crazy. And for you to say to your boys, "She's my baby."

One day you'll hear me singing on the radio a song that I wrote for the lies you told.

Yes, terrible things happen, but sometimes, those terrible things, they save you. Even if it's killing you inside, you need to stick it out. Hold your head high. Breath.

Don’t send me mixed signals. I don’t like the confusion that it brings. I’d rather have the honest truth even if it hurts, because then I won’t be wasting my time depending on false hope to keep me hanging on.

And when she breaks down, of course she'll make a sound. But you'll never hear her.

Tell me my dreams are unrealistic. I'll tell you your dreams aren't big enough.

"Sometimes it seems like you are the only one in the world who's struggling, who's frustrated, or unsatisfied, or barely getting by. But that feeling's a lie. And if you just hold on, just find the courage to face it all for another day, someone or something will find you and make it all okay."

"If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with." -Michael Jackson

I lay awake another night, a sleepless dream that becomes unheard of, and I let the last tear fall, but I lie, there may never be a last tear. For I have felt so much grief, so much passion for I cannot contain it all some times, but where do I put to rest these feelings, when in me, they are burning alive still.

She's in a suicidal mindset. Popping pills to chase the dreams, and sipping booze to ease the screams.

There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.

I am coming to terms with the fact that loving someone requires a leap of faith, and that a soft landing is never guaranteed.

Music is a total constant. That's why we have such a strong visceral connection to it, you know? Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song says the same, just like that moment.

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

What did it feel like, I wondered, to love someone that much? So much that you couldn't even control yourself when they came close, as if you might just break free of whatever was holding you and throw yourself at them with enough force to easily overwhelm you both.

All I'd ever wanted was to forget. but even when I thought I had, pieces had kept emerging, like bits of wood floating up to the surface that only hint at the shipwreck below.

You can't help who you love, and the only person you have to be honest with is yourself. If they were really your friends, they would understand that.

What’s worse than being blindly in love with a guy and not seeing what he really is, is being head over heels in love with a guy and seeing him for exactly what he really is. The asshole, the cheater, the guy who breaks your heart over and over again... and still loving him, and not being able to get over him.Read More

I'd pull the sun down from the sky to light up your darkest night. I wouldn't let a drop fall down into your life. Put your heart in my hands, and I would never paint your world blue. And if sometimes it seems I've lost my mind, I might be crazy, but I'm crazy for you.

Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change, so do cities. People come int...o your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away.

I'm always on my way to somewhere else. Searching high and low to find myself. Stuck on that highway between here and there, I could be anywhere. You're like the eye of a hurricane. You are a constant in a world of change. You are the calm in the storm when life gets strange.

Summer is for breaking. Pack nothing. Leave without a note. Follow your internal compass. Wear what you slept in. Sleep in what you're wearing. Use spf. Listen to the ocean but don't take it's advice word for word. Insist on karaoke. Display skin. Attract a following. Steal a heart. Lose track of time. Live your life

Even when you're not sure where you're headed, it helps to know you're not going there alone. No one has all the answers, and sometimes the best thing to do is just apologize and let the past be the past. Other times we need to look to the future and know that even when we think we've seen it all, life can still surprise us, and we can still surprise ourselves. - Gossip Girl

Why are you scared to dream of God, when it's salvation that you want?

Here's to the nights we'd kill to get back. The moments that haunt our dreams. Here's to the people forever loved. Who make our hearts want to scream.

Have you ever heard a song from so long ago with so many memories tied to it that it made you cry? And didn't you wish that you could go back to the time when everything seemed so much simpler and carefree? Those are songs that are the soundtrack of our lives... the ones that bring back childhood memories, best friends, first love, first heartbreak... the memories

Sometimes, you just have to take a step back and realize whats important in your life, what you can live with, but more importantly what you can't live without. - The Hills

Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond what you were.

I believe in love and lust and sex and romance. I don't want everything to add up to some perfect equation. I want mess and chaos. I want someone to go crazy out of his mind for me. I want to feel passion and heat and sweat and madness and I want valentines and cupids and all the rest of that crap. I want it all.

That boy's got a heart the size of Kentucky, & he loves you. That's important. Take it from someone who knows. My mom used to tell me that whatever you do, marry someone who loves you more than you love him. - Nicholas Sparks

It's not like you have a choice of who you love and who you don't. You just love someone. It doesn't mean that everyone else has to understand or approve of it. That's not love. Love is something special between two people that doesn't change or alter for anyone.

If someone loves you, give love back to them. in whatever way you can. not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to everything that’s around you.

It's always the same. You find someone, think that they're the one, and then they end up ripping your heart out. But this one? This is different. The real "one" is easy to pick out. See the kid that has always been there for you? The "guy friend" that you never thought you would date? Open your eyes. That's the one.

No matter how ugly you think you are or someone else around you has it better than you, there's always gonna be that one special guy who loves you simply because you're not like anybody else.

He's the only one for me. No matter how many miles away from me he is, he'll always be there for me. He has it all and i don't want anybody else, because there is nobody better than him and nobody can make me feel the way he does.

Every girl needs that guy who she can wrap her arm around. The one who will kiss her on the forehead when she's sleeping. The one to wipe away her tears and tell her she's beautiful. The guy who just doesn't compare to anyone else.

She may be confused about a lot of things, but she knows for sure that the only time she's truly happy is when she's with him.

He stared at her as they walked down the hallway: hand in hand. sure, he smiled. she laughed. But do they really love each other? or do they just like people saying 'whoa! you guys make such a cute couple.'

She smiles like everyone expects her to. She's living up to the expectation of never letting anything get to her. But something's really wrong with that smile today. Congratulations, kid- you finally got to her.

If a boy really likes you, he doesn't care how tired he is, how much homework he has or how late it is. He'll talk to you.

I’ve learned that good-byes will always hurt; pictures will never replace having been there; memories, good or bad, will bring tears; and words can never replace feelings.

So listen to me now because if you can't believe, be afraid. 'Cause everybody lies, everybody cries in the end.

I miss you the most when I'm driving alone and that song comes on the radio.You know, the one you always used to sing to me no matter how much grief I gave you. You always sang it and I always smiled.

The purpose of life, is to find something worth dying for, and then living for it.

Love is a bitch, pain is a whore, and misery is the motherfucker that won't leave me alone...

I'm a sucker for the sweet talkers. The ones that treat me right, the ones that call randomly or to just say goodnight the ones that pull my hair back loosely behind my ears the ones that challenge me and make me face my fears.

Love is irrational, I reminded myself. The more you loved someone, the less sense anything made. - Stephenie Meyer

I'm the kind of girl who kicks the soda machine because it ripped me off. The kind who skips with friends down to the mall then stops and says, "Nevermind. I know too many people here today." The kind who can always win an argument because I start to get illogical. The kind who likes to get noticed. The kind who is afraid of everything. The kind who will hug you without even knowing your name. The kind who will talk for hours on the phone when you might not even be there. The kind who doesn't order a salad on a date. The kind who doesn't really know who she is, but will never forget what she isn't. The kind who has a hard time letting go. The kind who has OCD traits and wants everything to be perfect. The kind who wants to find the one. The kind who listens to the rules and follows them; for the most part. And most of all, I'm the kind of girl who wants to change the world.

Whatever you go through, it all makes your stronger. No matter how many tears, or how many screams, or whines. Even when you think, you're positive it's all making you weaker, and tearing you down from the inside. But it never does. It only prepares you for the future.

I argue with him like he's my brother. I flirt with him like he's the friend that he is. But i love him like he's the only one for me.

Was it something I did? Was it something I said? I don't know what went wrong, but I can't get you out of my head. I keep thinking about, all the good times we shared. And those tender moments, you still cared. Now I'm left out in this world, on my own. Scared to death, of spending them forever alone. Baby, would you ever come back to me? I'm still begging you to, please.

I need you to understand something. I wrote this for you. I wrote this for you and only you. Everyone else who reads it, doesn't get it. They may think they get it, but they don't. This is the sign you've been looking for. You were meant to read these words.

To wake up next you, and confirm that the images I saw on the back of my eyelids seconds before, have all been made real.

He gave me that night and back this time, I told you the truth. We talked and held each other till the sun came up. And as I went to hell, the devil asked me if it was worth it. I said yes. Yes it was.

I burnt my tongue on you. Now I've lost all sense of taste, or decency.

Calling your name, it's a waste of my breath.. there's no reaching you across this cold and empty bed. Stirring up ashes, trying to find passion where there is no love left, is like trying to put smoke back in this cigarette.

You can go higher, you can go deeper. There are no boundaries above and beneath you. Break every rule, 'cause there's nothing between you and your dreams - No Boundaries by Adam Lambert

Trying not to break but I'm so tired of this deceit. Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet, all I ever think about is this. All the tiring time between and how trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me - From the Inside by Linkin Park.

In this farewell, there's no blood. There's no alibi, 'cause I've drawn regret from the truth of a thousand lies. So let mercy come and wash away what I've done. I'll face myself, to cross out what I've become. Erase myself and let go of what I've done. - What I've Done by Linkin Park

Yet, no matter how accurately you write it or mumble it under your breath, it won't change the way things stand between you. A poem, let alone a paragraph, is not a magic spell. And the only people who can write those stay in padded rooms, listening to music no one's ever played.

I'll pretend that you mean the weather when you ask me how things are. I'll say cold and dry.

I'll do every dish ever made. I'll change as much as I can without changing who I am. Just promise me, you'll stay.

I have pretended to go mad in order to tell you the things I need to. I call it art because art is the word we give to our feelings made pbulic, and art doesn't worry anyone.

Just like you mistook lust for love, you have mistaken being alone with loneliness. So I'm fine, thank you for asking.

You see, the problem isn't that our generation has chosen sadness as an icon; it's that other generations don't know why.

I read what you leave in public spaces. The songs you reference, the quotes you quote. I know it's about me. I can feel you thinking of me. I want to tell you that I know and I admit I feel the same. But I can't, not yet.

So you look for patterns because that's what humans do to try and make sense of things. In hope of some divine order. And you look in movies and songs and the things that you read for symbols, points and swirls that match your own. But the only real pattern there is, is the one you make when you hold up a mirror. And reflect.

So yes, we could kiss. I could kiss you and you could kiss me. There's no science, plane ticket or clock stopping us. But if we kiss, it will end the world. And I've ended the world before. No one survived. Least of all me.

They want me. I want you. And you want someone else. But none of us want to turn around.

It takes millions of years for the continents to drift. And butterflies live a lot less than that. You can live all your life in a day. Or spread it out and live slow.

Forget about your lists and do what you can because that's all you can do. Phone up the people you miss and tell them you love them. Hug those close to you as hard as you can. Because you are always only a drunk driver's stupidity, a nervous shopkeeper's mistake, a doctor's best attempts and an old age away from forever.

And if you'll have me, I'd like to come back as a cartoon character, forever playing jokes in your scenes.

You taught and turned me into what I am with fire and steel, and hurt and hate because that's what happened to you. But I will teach and turn with love and kindness. I will kill your spiral.

So you've given me all these things and I don't want you to think that I don't appreciate them because I do but all I really want from you today, is a smile.

You are not too old. You are not too young. You are not too poor. You are not too sick. You are not any of the things that stop you from doing what must be done. You are right here. You, are just right.

When you finally understand what it meant, the truth will leave your lips. Not as words. But a sound at the back of your throat.

Each week, you trade 5 days for 2. That doesn't sound right to me.

As you drift further into the past, my memory of you fractures and splinters until all I can clearly remember is not a picture but a feeling.

And if you can't say yes, answer anyway. Because I'd rather live with the answer than die with the question.

These are all the tears you’ve ever shed. The ones that taught you who you are. That made you grow up. That let you know that what you felt, mattered. And they are all here for a reason.

No storm is so bad that you can't learn something from it. You can grow in a storm. You can thrive. Rain cleans the air.

Learn to live for today, no one can promise you tomorrow.

You will hear it and no one else will, like your soul wears headphones and only it can hear the music.

You always fall in love with the sound of music only your heart can hear.

There are so many people reading these words now that if you put your hand against the screen, I can promise you, no matter what time it is, no matter where you are, someone else who feels the same is doing it too.

You are more than welcome to copy me and the things I do. I'll be busy doing new things while you do that.

No matter how you stack me. No matter how you arrange me. No matter how you look at me. I am still here and I am still the same person made of the same things. I regret nothing.

Sometimes, you’re the entire universe and all it contains and we are just actors in your dream.

This is my voice. This is my face and if you touch it, you will see I'm telling the truth.

There's only so many chances you can receive in life. Never let it get the best of you.

I'll do anything I can to make it. This dream means everything to me and more.

I will never stop believing that I can become what I've always wanted to be.

You might not always like me, the things I do or the way I do them. But these are my things, this is the way I do them and I am me.

I can't change who I am for you. But then again, I shouldn't have to.

And if you look a little closer, you'll see that if a person believes that life is terrible, they’ll constantly look for proof of this, to confirm their view of the world. They’ll find quotes and situations and events in their life and magnify them a hundred times. If a person believes that life is wonderful, they’ll look for the corresponding signage and behave in a similar manner to the previous person with their view of the world. Often, this is the same person on different days of the week.

You can never lose yourself so much that I won't find you. And remind you of what it felt like to be here.

All the hardest, coldest people you meet were once as soft as water. And that's the tragedy of living.

I'm the type of person that doesn't give up on people. Regardless of their mistakes, and little imperfections. Because I realized a long time ago, the mistakes in our lives shape us into who we are, and the tiny imperfections are what make us perfect.

I need a hero to save my life. I need a hero just in time to save me. - Hero by Skillet

Late at night, here is somewhere else. And I wish you were more than my emergency contact number for a broken heart.

For I may fall and I may fail but I will stand again each time and you will find no satisfaction. Because you cannot kill me here.

The only reason I hate you now is because I loved you then.

I'm lost and looking for the sky, for moving parts and a place that doesn't rust. For wheels that burn and a world that turns. For a road that phantom cars still drive down while lovers long lost feel wind that's blown too long in silver hair. You are the only map I know.

If I die from this, you can't expect me to act surprised.

The alcoholics are only romantic in movies.

The secret side of me I never let you see. I keep it caged, but I can't control it so stay away from me. The beast is ugly, I feel the rage and I just can't hold it. It's scratchin' on the walls. In the closet, in the halls. It comes awake, and I can't control it. Hidin' under the bed, in my body, in my head. Why won't somebody come and save me from this? Make it end! - Monster by Skillet

Everything lives on as long as you remember. But once you've forgotten, it rests in peace.

We look at the people who tell the truth, who say real things in public, like they’re confused. Crazy. As if everything should be said safely or not at all and what you feel shouldn’t be taken seriously. Which is why it's not polite to say "I'm going to kiss you now because I can't do anything else."

But nothing is wasted. There's no song you can listen to, no person you can speak to, no moment it takes to see things as they are that doesn't teach you something. You need everything you know.

I always thought that I was sick and you were the cure. But everyone gets things backwards sometimes.

And there are thousands in the crowd outside everyday. And everyone's there. And they love me. And I don't care. Because they're not you.

You and me, we're clever. People on the other hand, are stupid.

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first

I write the love letters you never got, the ones you never sent. And I'll throw these words out there like confetti at the wedding you and I never had.

Sometimes I touch the things you used to touch, looking for echoes of your fingers.

I couldn't convince you that the blue you see is the same blue that I see. But maybe that's how lovers know they're meant to love; they see the same blue. And they both know it.

I'm learning to love myself, and it's the hardest thing I've ever done.

I honestly couldn't care less if you like the same bands or you've read the same books. Tell me one original thing, tell me one true, real thing that brings me to my knees that I've never heard before and I'm yours.

You need to stop being so concerned with collecting beautiful things and start being more concerned with making things beautiful.

Let's pretend we're artists and everything we feel is something new to be proud of. Let's take our imaginary friends on a double date and ditch them in a movie and hope they get along while we kiss outside on the sidewalk. Let's take the dreams you mumbled in your sleep and paint a child's nursery. And if we don't finish today, we've always got tomorrow.

If you found anything of value here or in others, it's only because you'd seen it before inside yourself.

I'll tell you the truth so close to your lips it'll taste like a lie. There's a tongue in my mouth. It matters. This matters. The only thing that works is the truth and you are the hardest truth to tell. So kiss like you give a damn.

I'm not the person you left behind anymore. There's no one there to miss.

And I can feel your eyes on these words as I write each one. And I know you read it. And it's the tips of your fingers that pushes back on each key. And your hand on the mouse. And your back in that chair. And I just want you to know, that I know.

Someone you haven't even met yet is wondering what it'd be like to know someone like you.

I’m all out of midnight phone calls and flowers sent to your door. I’m out of throwing letters off fire escapes and drawing a cathedral in the sand. I’m out of spray-painting your name on freeway overpasses. I’m low on cute names given between blankets and 9am. I’ve got no dramatic displays of public affection left. And now everyone else I ever love is going to think me boring. Because I used it all up on you.

Who you want to be is not nearly as important as who you are right now.

There are a million ways to bleed. But you are by far my favorite.

The slightly above average intelligence part of the world exists to take advantage of the below average intelligence part of the world while the above average intelligence part of the world can only look on in despair. You're here to help make the world more intelligent.

There's nothing scary about choice. Scary is when you don't have choice.

Your ability to stop and think, about what you think, is the most important gift you possess.

You can chase the shadows if you want to. But you're only making them longer.

You either want to be known as someone who's done something or you actually want to do something. They're not the same.

If you've never felt your ribs pushing against your skin. If you know when you're next going to eat. If you slept under a roof last night. If you know how to use a computer. If you can see this picture. If you can read these words. If you know someone you can share this with. You have a lot to be thankful for.

You are defined by the way in which you treat the people you love. And, the people you hate.

You'll be glad to know that all the people who are the best at what they do are also the people who are the best at being nice to the people around them.

It might not seem like an adventure right now but when you look back, you'll see.

If you don't want to be average then just try one little bit harder than everyone else around you. That's it.

You have people looking after you everywhere you go, even if you don't know they're there.

No matter where you go, bring your love with you.

As soon as you think you're done. You are. Keeping going. Never be done.

The only thing we've written down happened yesterday. What you do today is a new page.

I am far more delicate than you can possibly imagine. You need to move slowly.

As the ground shattered below us and the sky was ripped open above us, it became clear that all you and I could ever really hang to, was each other.

I would find you down the line with broken wings, pick you up, and swear that you would taste the sky again.

We wanted a war but we called it peace. And we bombed each other’s cities till nothing was left. Now you’ve left me alone to take care of the wounded. The least you’ve could’ve done was help me bury the dead.

The world will tell you that the way you say things is more important than what you say. The world is wrong.

Just so you know, there are days when I'm a complete and utter insecure, paranoid wreck.

You only get to touch a handful of souls in your lifetime. Know them well and make sure they remember you.

And strum my fingers gently across your skin, like I was playing the slowest love song in the world and only you and I could hear it.

Wait. But don't wait too long. Work hard. But don't forget how to play. Sing loudly. But don't learn all the words. Wonder. But not so much that you lose yourself. Read magazines. But read more books. Love.

Love who and what you love because you love them. Not because other people do. Or don't.

Create. Not because you want to or because the mood grabs you or just because you happen to feel like it. Create because you need to. Because it feels like if you don't, you might die.

You get to choose the people you like. Not the people you love.

I'm never gonna dance again 'cause guilty feet have got no rhythm. Though it's easy to pretend, I know you're not a fool. I should have known better than to cheat a friend. And waste the chance I'd been given. So I'm never gonna dance again, the way I danced with you. - Careless Whisper by Seether. ft George Michael.

From when I wake in the morning till I go and I fall asleep each night I fight to hold onto a love that is inside because my past is like a nightmare that I never can escape and I can't wait till I wake up so I can fall back asleep - The Moment by Safetysuit.

Intoxicated eyes, no longer live that life You should have learned by now, I'll burn this whole world down I need some peace of mind, no fear of what's behind You think you've won this fight, you've only lost your mind - Had Enough by Breaking Benjamin

Strange, how laughter looks like crying with no sound, and how raindrops taste like tears without pain.

look in the mirror. you're beautiful. he may not think so, but that's not what matters. what matters is that you know you are

It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance. It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance. It's the mind afraid of losing that never learns to give, and it's the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live. - The Rose by Bette Medler

Shes deeper then you think she is, she has secrets of her own, little secrets no one must know. But all you see is the outer image, the fake smile & cool clothes. She smiles because thats all she can do.

It's no good being nice and young and naive. There's no good in that at all. You've got to do it all yourself, and you've gotta learn quick. And you can't look for sympathy either. - Johnny Rotten

Where my music is welcomed, I will play it loud. Where my music is challenged, I will play it louder.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope or confidence. - Helen Keller

We are the makers of music and the dreamers of dreams. - Willy Wonka

I've been running around for the past year with absolutely no direction. I didn't know what I wanted. All I knew was that you were always there, always in my head, always under my skin

We've skipped more classes then we've attended Done more drugs then we've should have Stole more things then you can imagine. Will someone ever notice? No.

I wanted to kiss him, but of course I didn't. I wondered why I resisted when in the past I had always followed my impulse with not much thought of the consequences. Maybe because it didn't feel like a game with him, the way it had with so many others before. Maybe because I had more to lose.

it’s pouring down rain; i’m standing on my street corner with my make up all smudged, perfectly straightened hair all wet & curly. i’m wearing my oldest, ripped jeans which are soaked right through & my scruffiest hoodie. now you tell me you love me.

Years passed, I looked down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my "best friend". At the service, they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years. This is what it read: I stare at him wishing he was mine, but he doesn't notice me like that, and I know it. I want to tell him, I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love him but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me! `I wish I did too...` I thought to my self, and I cried.

At the end of the day, there are some things you just can't help but talk about. Some things we just don't want to hear, and some things we say because we can't be silent any longer. Some things are more than what you say, they're what you do. Some things you say cause there's no other choice. Some things you keep to yourself. And not too often, but every now and then, some things simply speak for themselves.

You get to her. You make her cry late at night. You make her scream at the top of her lungs. You make her second guess everything you say. but she's not about to admit it to you. Her pride is too strong. but really, would it matter anyways?

And then I remembered the sweet sound of your voice and I closed my eyes. For just a couple of seconds you were back again. For just a couple of seconds everything was back to how things used to be. I smiled.

I'm not the little girl my parents wanted me to be. There was never anyone who loved me enough to stay. Well, all I wanted was a hand to hold me down. To keep the sky from swallowing me up And all I ever needed was someone to come around And tell me that I suffered long enough.

Sometimes I wonder if anyone knows which statement is fact or fiction. You use to get that you know. Late at night when I was falling apart, I could never tell you I was fine. You always told me to stop lying. But this time, you're no longer around to say that to me.

And I will live my life till my very last breathe, knowing that out of everything I've done; I have no regrets.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. - The Dark Knight

It's the rule of life that everything you have always wanted comes the very second you stop looking for it. - Sex & the City

"Sometimes loving someone means letting them go." Bullshit. Love means holding onto someone just as hard as you can because if you don't, one blink and they might disappear forever.

Heavenly Father, help us remember that the jerk who cut us off in traffic last night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day and is rushing home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and spend a few precious moments with her children. Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested young man who can't make change correctly is a worried 19-year-old college student, balancing his apprehension over final exams with his fear of not getting his student loans for next semester. Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging for money in the same spot every day is a slave to addictions that we can only imagine in our worst nightmares. Help us to remember that the old couple walking annoyingly slow through the store aisles and blocking our shopping progress are savoring this moment, knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back last week, this will be the last year that they go shopping together. Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give us, the greatest gift is love . It is not enough to share that love with those we hold dear. Open our hearts not to just those who are close to us, but to all humanity. Let us be slow to judge and quick to forgive, show patience, empathy and love.

A northern fairytale starts out, "Once upon a time..." A southern fairytale starts out, "Ya'll ain't gonna believe this shit!"

In that moment I just wanted him to push me hard against a wall and kiss me. I didn't want to think anymore; I didn't want to question it. I just wanted to feel it. Sometimes all we need is just to feel it.

As the eyeliner begins to stream down her face, she tries to find a peaceful place, a place without lies and hate, and where dreams come true, a place to forget all about the time she was with you.

It's fearless to have faith that someday, things will change. - Taylor Swift

Let’s just drink to get drunk and tell each other everything for a drunken mind speaks a sober heart, then we can go on pretending like nothing did happen because the truth is i've never fallen so hard, and I don’t think I could deal with the thought of rejection.

I'm not that little girl anymore. I've grown up; I've become something everyone thought I would never be. But here I am, look at me. This is me.

And I dare you to forget, the marks you left across my neck. From those nights when we were both found at our best.

Sometimes you meet someone, and before you know their name, before you know where they're from, you know that sometime in the future, this person is going to mean something to you.

I smile because when I cry, it doesn`t help. When I cry all it does is make people ask me if I'm okay. I would love nothing more than to punch these people. I'm sitting here, crying, but yes, I'm perfectly happy. I mean, come on. Give me a break. Obviously I`m not fine.

There's nothing more dangerous, than a bad boy with charm.

To all the girls who've had their heart broken; don't stop loving. Don't think for even one second that you won't find someone better. And most of all, don't ever be afraid to fall again

You're screaming at the air, "I don't even care," and all the air is whispering, "Who do you think you're fooling?"

Her voice became his passion. his love became her obsession. It was sweet but dangerous, just how she wanted it.

I sigh with tears in my eyes, flop myself down onto my bead and whisper over and over, "what did i do wrong?"

Singing along in a car packed full of your close friends, laughing & smiling having the best time of your life with the windows down & the moonshining bright. Now those are the days I live for.

The best feeling in the world is doing something that everyone else said you couldn't.

Every time I turned around, another person I'd known forever felt like a stranger to me. Even I felt like a stranger to me.

When I'm in a rockband, I'm going to do a cool mellow song. Then, in the middle, I'll stop, announce, "this part is just to be an asshole to people playing guitar hero" and then flail wildly on the strings for thirty seconds.

You cannot go back in time, even if you wish it with every fiber of your being, your heart and soul. Even if you think about it every day. Trust me, I know.

People will wish you all the success in the world, and then hate you when you get it.

With every appearance by you, blinding my eyes, I can hardly remember the last time I felt like I do. You're an angel disguised. And you're lying real still, but your heart beat is fast just like mine. And the movie's long over, that's three that have passed, one more's fine. ♫ - Awake by Secondhand Serenade

So what happens once you lose control? When the future has to start. What happens when you're still in love, but time rips you apart. Is there ever an answer for when love is not enough? When the world must move on. Who decided that I'd be that tough - End by Secondhand Serenade

You are the end product of time, and time will always takes its toll. Never regret the price you pay to become who you are.

No relationship is perfect, ever. There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater. The love we have for each other is bigger than these small differences. And that's the key. it's like a big pie chart, and the love in a relationship has to be the biggest piece. Love can make up for a lot. -- Sarah Dessen

It does not count if you believe in yourself when it's easy to believe in yourself. It does not count if you believe the world can be a better place when the future looks bright. It does not count if you think you're going to make it when the finish line is right in front of you. It counts when it's hard to believe in yourself, when it looks like the world's going to end, and you've still got a long way to go. That's when it counts. That's when it matters the most.

Many people don't know that the human eye has a blind spot in its field of vision. There is a part of the world that we are literally blind too. The problem is, sometimes our blind spots shield us from things that really shouldn't be ignored. -- Grey's Anatomy

Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

I'm losing what's left of my dignity, but I'll fight till the end for her heart. I'll never give up for what's possibly, for better or worse this love must be cursed. - Holding On, Scary Kids Scaring Kids

Call me a bitch, I'll show you one. Curse at me, I'll curse louder.

I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.

I'm selfish , Impatient an insecure, I'm out of control and at times hard to handle, But if you can't handle me at my worst, You sure in the hell don't deserve me at my best.

You and me. we're like butt cheeks, no matter how much shit we go through, we still stick together.

Heres to the guys that love me, The losers that lost me, And to the lucky bastards that get to meet me.

It's not what I do, but how I do it.

Good girls are made of Sugar and Spice. I'm a bad girl and made of whipped cream and ice.

Being happy doesn't mean everythings perfect. It means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.

Just because you're stupid doesn't mean I'm lying

Hoping, Dreaming Wanting A Night With You; Lets Take This Journey Together Where Ecstacy Is Not A Word, But Reality

You're only as strong as the table you dance on, the drink you mix, and the friends you roll with

I want a guy who would move the hair from my eyes then kiss me, Hold my hand in line at the mall & make all the other girls jealous, Someone who would sing to me at random times. Who would let me fall asleep in his chest. A boy who would throw stuffed animals at me because I was acting dumb then kiss me a million times. Someon who would make fun of me just to make me laugh. He would put his arms around my waist & give me bear hugs all the time. He would tell his friends all about me and smile when he did & we'd make out in the pouring rain, He would never be afraid to say "I Love You" around his friends. I want a boy who would kiss me on New Years Eve & count the stars with me. Someone who would tell me I'm beautiful, but not too often. Who would make me laugh like no one else could. But mostly, I want someone who would be my best friend & would never break my heart.

Let's commit the perfect crime i'll steal your heart you steal mine

All I Want Is For You To Hold Me Tight, I Need A Man Who Knows How To Treat A Woman Right, Not Some Boy Who Just Hangs Around For Fun, But Someone Strong & Brave Who Knows How To Get The Job Done

Smile: It's the second best thing you can do with your lips.

true love is when you shed a tear and still want him, its when he ignores you and you still love him, its when he loves another girl, but you still smille and say im happy for you when all you really do is cry.. and cry..

Guys: No Shirt, No Service - Gals: No Shirt, No Charge

A foolish man tells a woman to stop talking, but a wise man tells her that her mouth is extremely beautiful when her lips are closed.

Sometimes the memories are worth the pain

I need you. I don't know why, but every now and then in my life, for no reason at all, I need you

¤ If you don't understand my silence, you won't understand my words ¤

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal

Waste not fresh tears over old grief's

There is nothing that cannot happen today.

We do not remember days, we remember moments.

When you learn to love Hell, then you will be in Heaven

The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers

Love is too young to know what conscience is

I cannot show you I love you. Time will show you I love you. ♥

You men are shameful. If you're not thinking with your weiner then you're acting directly on its behalf.

A memory lasts forever, never does it die. True friends stay together and never say goodbye

Too many tears have run down my cheeks, too many times my heart broken, too many scars lie upon my wrists yet I keep smiling

Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak, sometimes it means you are strong enough to let go

I loved you once, but I can never forget you... you left a scar upon my heart

Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction."

Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all."

There are no words to describe the lives of this world, each one of us are cable of everything known to man kind and beyond, but each one of us also has the choice to make the decisions that altar fate and destiny

Nothing or no one will ever break me down. I wear these broken chains to show that nothing can stop me from being who I am on the inside and out. I stand strong and firm always and even my fallen tears only prove the trails I've been through not that I was too weak to make it"

school is a jail, the cells are the classes, teachers are the security guard and WE ARE THE PRISONERS

♥(¯`¸·´¯) ♥ To those who have pushed me, thank you. Without you, I wouldn't have fallen. To those who have laughed at me, thank you.Without you, I wouldn't have cried. To those who just couldn't love me, thank you.Without you, I wouldn't have known real love. To those of you who hurt my feelings, thank you.Without you, I wouldn't have felt them. To those of you who left me lonely, thank you.Without you, I wouldn't have discovered myself. But, to those who thought I couldn't do it, who thought I couldn't change, It is to you I thank the most because without you, I wouldn't have tried.  ♥(¯`¸·´¯) ♥

I asked "Am I Pretty?" He said "No" I asked "Do you like me?" He said "No" I asked "Do you want me?" He said "No" So I walked away with tears in my eyes, and he grabbed me by the arm and said "You aren't pretty, you're Beautiful. I don't like you, I Love You, & I don't want you, I need you."

Maybe some women weren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they're suppose to run wild until they can find someone just as wild to run with. But me, I'm definitely one of the wild ones.  

the littlest things make me laugh.
it's not hard to please me.
I'ma free-spirit. I'm strong and determined.
I love to look at the stars. I'm just a girl.
& that's all I wanna be.

I don't forgive people because I'm weak
I forgive them because i am strong enough to know
people make mistakes .

who are you to judge the life I live?
I'm not perfect & i don't live to be,
but before you start pointing fingers,
make sure your hands are clean

Imperfection is beauty. Madness is genius. It is better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.

I don't mind living in a man's world as long as I can be a woman in it.

Men who think that a woman's past love affairs lessen her love for them are usually stupid and weak. A woman can bring a new love to each man she loves, providing there are not too many.

How come you have enough time to go out and make other girls fall in love with you, but you don't have enough time to pay attention to the girl who already is.

I get the best feeling in the world when you say hi to me, or even smile, because I know even if just for a second, I crossed your mind.

It's hard not to love someone when he's all you ever think about.

To love someone when there is no chance of that love ever thriving, that is romance
