something about baby, you & i

"I guess I still need to constantly remind myself that

trying to reconnect with you is pointless.

At least, for now anyways.

I don't need you in my life, & everyone was right

when they told me that time would heal everything.

I must admit that I sometimes wonder

how you are, where you are, & who's loving you now.

But then I snap back into reality, & I remember

that I shouldn't keep returning to the past.

I have a very bright future ahead of me,

& it'll shine just as brightly with you in it or not."

Sometimes, it's ok to let go of some people,

to help them understand your

value & importance in the future.

Hating is for the weak.

Loving is for the strong. It takes more to love someone

who wronged you than

to hate them.

If you ignore me, I will ignore you.

If you don't start the conversation, we won't talk.

If you don't put in the effort, then why should I?

Whenever a person is ignoring me, what they're actually doing is

making a conscious choice to communicate

that I'm not important to them....

it is also giving me an idea to care less.

It takes a lot of strength to hold on,

but sometimes it takes

much more strength to just let go & move on.

Cutting people out of your life is easy,

Keeping them in is hard.

People never change, they just become more of who they truly are.

when you remember me & before you set me free..oh listen please...

Sometimes, no matter how much you want something,

you just have to give it up.

It just ain't worth the heartache.

One day, they'll regret that they lost you.

you are what i never knew i always wanted.

so i guess you don't care so shouldn't i be done caring too?

Can't lose what you never had,

can't keep what's not yours,

& can't hold on to something that

doesn't want to stay.

Sometimes it's better to push someone away,

not because you stopped loving that someone, but because there comes a point that you

have to shield yourself from pain.

There's something I wanted to say so I'll be brave.

you were what I wanted, I gave what I gave,

I'm not sorry I met you, I'm not sorry it's over,

I'm not sorry there's nothing to save.

i'm pretty sure i didn't meet you for nothing.

No matter how painful your decision has been,

as long as you can sleep well at night,

it means you did the right choice.

Maybe friendships aren't meant to be saved.

Maybe we're meant to spend a certain part of our lives

with certain people then move on.

"I've heard it a million times. "You can do better. You deserve so much more."

In reality, you're right. But sometimes when you love, you love the

person for who they are despite what they've done wrong to you. That's what love does to you. It's not about who you deserve.

It's about who you want, who you need, & who you love."

Why do people always say, "If we're meant to be, we're meant to be."

Don't they know that without effort, destiny won't work.

& i don't even like cats....

I think part of the reason we hold onto something so tight

for so long is because we fear something so great

will never happen again.

you make my heart have premature ventricular contractions.

I'm scared of serious relationships. Scared of being too attached to someone.

Why? Because I know that people never stay.

They always leave you alone, when you've

started to trust them.

If you miss me, you can't text, you can't email,

you can't post it on my wall.

If you really miss me, you come & see me.

V-day

What makes Valentine's day so special anyway? Why not spread the love everyday?

You love someone, let them know - every single day. Because life is short,

& you never know whether you'll get a chance to see that person again

or even talk to them. In the end, we only regret the things we didn't say,

the chances we didn't take,

the relationships we were afraid

to have, & the decisions we waited

too long to make.

~Live, Laugh, Love~ Fear is stupid & so are regrets!

& who gives a shit if you're single today?!

especially when you look

<----------------- this HOT ;) jk

[single & unavailable by choice]

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone! Y

you my always & forever, you my sunshine, on my mind constant, think about you all the time

Definition of Love:

Love is a funny thing. You expect it to be easy.

You expect it to be a world of roses & laughs

& perfect moments that you find only in movies.

You expect her/him to always say the right thing,

& always know exactly how you feel,

or exactly how to react to it.

You expect them to calm you down when

you're yelling or to chase you when you run away.

You expect so much that you feel entirely,

& utterly defeated when something doesn't

exactly match up with all your plans.

But that's the thing. Love isn't a plan.

It doesn't have a certain beginning & it

certainly has no end or visible finish line

to those deeply in it.

Love happens; it is so incredibly messy.

People around you can't comprehend

why you do the things you do,

or why you fight so hard for something

that seems to cause you so much pain,

because simply, they can't see.

They can't see the invisible ring of insanity

that surrounds you when you're in love.

It's inconvenient & painful & devastating

at times, but we can't live without it.

What you don't learn is how hard love is.

How much work it takes.

How much of ourselves we have to put into it.

How it isn't worth it until we are

complete & utter idiots about it.

Love isn't about them calming you down when you yell.

It's them yelling, just as loud, just as hard,

right back at you, right in your face to wake you up

& to keep you grounded.

It isn't her/him bringing you roses everyday

or cute things that make your relationship

appear more presentable.

It's after a long fight, that drains the life

& bones right out of you both, &

yet them showing up at your door the next morning anyway.

It's not them saying all the right things

or knowing exactly how to handle you.

So no, it's not them caressing your hair

& telling you that everything is going to be alright.

It's them standing there, admitting they're

just as scared as you are.

You have to remember that with love,

you're not the only one involved.

You've unknowingly put your life,

your heart into the palms of another

person's hands and said, "Here.

Do what you will. Mash it into mince meat.

Or forget I ever handed it to you.

As long as you have it."

It makes us crazy. It makes reality

invisible & erases all the lines

we shouldn't cross. Because love isn't

about fencing ourselves in;

feeling safe, feeling sure about the future.

It's about scaring the shit out of every

nerve in our body, but pushing forward anyway.

Because all the fighting and all the tears

and all the uncertainty is worth it.

And it's a hell of a lot better, than

being 100% happy without someone to

show us that there is a world of a

difference between feeling 'happy'

and feeling whole.

I can't tell it's over because to me it will never be over.

There will always be something between us

that I can't explain no matter how hard I try.

I tell myself that if I ever get a second chance,

I'd never let you go again.

I suppose it's true that we all fall in love with things we just can't have.

i won't give up on you

Time doesn't heal if you're not ready to move on.

Don't attach yourself to anyone who shows you the least

bit of attention just because you are lonely.

Loneliness is the human condition.

No one is ever going to fill that space.

The best you can do is know yourself....know what you want.

Choose a job you love & you will never

have to work a day in your life.

& i remembered something else that makes us human;

faith, the only weapon in our arsenal to battle doubt.

Hope is what keeps us going in life.

We hope we will be strong,

we hope we will pass a test,

we hope we will make new friends,

we hope we will never lose the old,

we hope someone loves us,

we hope that love will find us,

we hope when all seems lost,

we hope when we are hurt,

we hope when we play games,

& we hope when we cry.

Never lose hope,

never give up when someone

gives up on you...

they may still hope as you do.

Everyone you know, without exception,

has their heart all wrapped around someone who will never love them back.

"Would I rather be feared of loved? Easy: both.

I want people to be afraid of how much they love me."

It's just hard, you know?

I look at you & it hurts so much

to know that we can't be together.

All along I knew I was meant to be alone,

out there on my own. Love is not destroyed by a single failure, or won by a single caress. But why is it that the greatest irony of love is letting go when you want to hold on, & holding on when you need to let go? You can never find the right person if you can't let go of the wrong, but at the same time the moment you feel like letting go, you remember why you held on for so long. Sometimes you have to forget what you want & remember what you deserve. To love is to risk rejection, to live is to risk dying, & to hope is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing at all. To reach for another is to risk involvement, to expose your feelings is to expose your true self. To love is to risk not being loved in return. How to define love: Fall but do not stumble. Be constant but not too persistent. Share and never be unfair. Understand & try not to demand. Hurt but never keep the pain. Love is supposed to be the most wonderful feeling. It should inspire you & give you joy & strength. But sometimes the things that give you joy, can also hurt you in the end. Loving people means giving them the freedom; whom they choose to be and where they choose to go. Loving someone means giving them the freedom to find their way, whether it leads towards you or away from you. Love can be a painful risk. To love means that risk must be taken, no matter how scary or painful, for only then you will experience the fullness of humanity of what we call love. If you're not ready to cry, if you're not ready to take the risk, & if you're not ready to feel the pain, then you're not ready to fall in love. I do get called a bitch quite often. What I do NOT get called is pushover, stupid, sweetheart, dear, or doormat. Works for me.
