live to learn, learned a lot

My wish for you is that this life becomes all that you want it to.

Your dreams stay big and your worries stay small.

You never need to carry more than you can hold.

And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,

I hope you know somebody loves you & wants the same things too.

Yeah, this is my wish.

it's weird how suddenly everything can change.

We become attached to what's familiar & sometimes we hold onto things that are safe & predictable even if they are bad for us. You aren't some knight in shining armor. You're just a guy who's grown tired of screwing the same girl & you feel guilty about it. You think that sucks? Why don't you try being the one who has to wonder why all the people she loves don't love her back. ~Morrie Schwartz

Don't come into my life unless you want to stay.

The truth is, I still care and always will.

I'm not the type of girl to let people walk out of my life

& pretend that they don't matter anymore.

I may not like that person anymore,

or talk to him or her but, I still care.

I'm always going to think back to my life

& say I wonder what happened to so and so.

I hope they're alright. I will actually mean it.

That is the type of person I am.

Once you're in my heart, you're there forever.

We live by faith, not by sight.

2 Corinthians 5:7

I hate being second to those I put first.

It's a small world sweetie & we share the same sky.

If you fear long distance, why not give it a try?

Don't talk to me because you're "bored."

I'm not here to entertain you.

And don't come to me only when you need a favor.

I don't like being used.

Just get the fuck away because

I'm not going to be your last resort.

I want someone to talk to me

because they sincerely want to.

Those kind of people are worth my time.

In my lifetime I've come to realize that

you can't depend upon other people for

what you want, and you can't be scared to

go out there and get it.

You have to dream hard, wish big,

and chase after your goals,

cause no one else is going to do it for you.

And even if things don't work out,

you'll always be able to say you tried.

disguise my tears so that you'll never see

Imagine if I were you & you were me.

And I saw what you saw & felt what you felt.

And finally I could understand you

& why you do these things to me.

And you could know where I'm coming from

& why I do these things I do.

You still cross my mind from time to time.

And I mostly smile.

Still so set on finding out where we went wrong & why.

So I retrace our every step with an unsure pen,

trying to figure out what my head thinks,

but my head just ain't what it used to be.

And then again, what's the point anyway?

Never take too much care on someone,

because you won't be able to stand the pain

when they start avoiding you.

Forgiveness might make us look weak,

but the weakest person is the ones

who hold hatred and anger.

I guess I just got tired being the last thing on your mind.

When someone walks out of your life, let them.

There's no use in wasting your time on people that leave you.

What you make of yourself & your future is no longer tied to them.

Yeah, you may miss them. But remember that

you weren't the one that gave up.

It's amazing how guys always act like big, bad, tough guys,

yet they're always too scared to admit something.

Don't come running back to me,

when you get treated the exact same way you treated me.

There is a difference between

giving up and knowing

when you've had enough.

I might not be everything you ever wanted,

but I'm always going to be more than you deserve.

So when she forgets about you, don't you dare think of me.

You don't need to give reasons for the things you do --

you just have to do what you want.

And sometimes the thing that seems messed up

to everyone else is what's right for you.

You have to do it & not be ashamed for it.

~Kristen Stewart

Numbing the pain for a while

will make it worse

when you finally feel it.

~Albus Dumbledore

You don't know what you've put me through.

It's okay, I've forgiven you.

But in some way, I hope it fucks with you.

Like a rainbow after the rain,

there's always a good thing after the pain.

It's like you wait until I'm happy again,

and then you decide to walk right back into my life.

And one day I hope you look back at what we had,

and regret every single thing you did to let it end.

I'm not much of a revenge person,

because I think when you start with revenge

it cheapens what you've been through.

My rule is to hold your head high

and never stop looking that person in the eye,

because they know & you know,

and you're still the professional.

And they can just feel like an

ass for the rest of their lives.

That's my favorite thing to do.

~Sophia Bush

What's worse; not getting everything you wished for,

or getting it but finding out it's not enough?

~One Tree Hill

rumour has it he's the one i'm leaving you for

She, she ain't real.

She ain't gon be able to love you like I will.

She is a stranger,

You & I have history, or don't you remember?

Sure, she's got it all.

But baby is that really what you want?

Bless your soul, you got your head in the clouds.

She made a fool out of you & boy she's bringing you down.

She made your heart melt but you're cold to the core.

Now rumour has it she ain't got your love anymore.

She is half your age but I'm guessing that's

the reason that you stayed.

I heard you been missing me.

You've been telling people things you shouldn't be,

like when we creep out, she ain't around.

Haven't you heard the rumours?

Bless your soul, you got your head in the clouds.

You made a fool out of me & boy I'm bringing you down.

You made my heart melt yet I'm cold to the core.

But rumour has it I'm the one you're leaving her for.

All of these words whispered in my ear

tell a story that I cannot bear to hear.

Just cause I said it, it don't mean that I meant it.

People say crazy things...

Just cause I said it, don't mean that I meant it.

Just cause you heard it...

But rumour has it he's the one I'm leaving you for.

you turned out to be the best thing i never had

You can't just walk into my life &

just walk the fuck out of it.

The fuck you think I am?

Sometimes no matter how much you love someone,

that person can't just love you back the same way.

They say people come & go.

Truth is, no one really disappears from your life.

People never really leave, their roles just change.

"It is a risk to love.

But what if it doesn't work out?

Ah, but what if it does?"

~Peter McWilliams

The more you show the person that you can't live without them,

the more reasons you're giving them to take you for granted.

Yes, I am smiling.

But you are not the reason anymore.

why is it that we love the ones who ignore us & ignore the ones who love us?

When something bad happens,

you have three choices:

you can either let it define you,

let it destroy you,

or you can let it strengthen you.

"I get it...the fear of letting people in,

getting close to somebody,

& then it just not working out."

~One Tree Hill

It seems when you want someone, they don't want you.

And when someone wants you, you don't want them.

And when you both want each other,

something has to come around & mess it up.

And all I need to know is that I'm something you'll be missing.

Sometimes it takes a heartbreak to shake us awake

& help us see we are worth so much more

than we were settling for.

"It's just hard you know? I look at you

& it hurts so much to know

that we can't be together."

~One Tree Hill

Life is too ironic to fully understand.

It takes sadness to know what happiness is,

noise to appreciate silence,

and absence to value presence.

I'd rather be physically hurt than emotionally.

Because you can put a band-aid on your finger,

but you can't put one on your heart.

Love is a temporary madness;

it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides.

And when it subsides you have to make a decision.

You have to work out whether your roots have

so entwined together that it is inconceivable

that you should ever part.

Because this is what love is.

Love is not breathlessness, it is not

excitement, it is not the promulgation

of eternal passion. That is just being in love,

which any fool can do. Love itself is

what is left over when being in love has burned

away, and this is both an art & a fortunate accident.

Those that truly love have roots that grow towards

each other underground, and when all the pretty

blossoms have fallen from their branches,

they find that they are on one tree & not two.

~Louis de Bernieres

I fall too fast, crash too hard,

forgive too easy,

and care too much.

I believe that we are who we choose to be.

Nobody's going to come and save you,

you've got to save yourself.

Nobody's going to give you anything;

you've got to go out and fight for it.

Nobody knows what you want except for you.

& nobody will be as sorry as you if you don't get it.

So don't give up.

People can be cruel, and they will be.

People can hurt you, break your heart & they will. But only you can

let them keep hurting you.

Have you ever noticed that the saddest person

have the most beautiful smile?

Don't judge it until you have experienced it.

There's a huge difference between getting over things

and getting through them.
