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

the sun is going to shine & the rain is going to fall. in the end you might get burnt or wet, but that's life. so dance in the puddles and bathe in the sun; at the end of the day, smile, because everything is going to be alright.

  The difference between can and cannot are only three letters.
Three letters that determine your life's direction.

i've watched so many relationships destroy people. i don't want that. i want someone to learn  who i am on the inside, and like my personality; not my appearance. i want someone to take the time to get to really know me. and decide that, that is what they want to spend the rest of their life with.

laying there with your arms around me, i felt so comfortable & safe. my heart was beating a mile a minute having you so close to me. as you played with my hair & kissed  me, i couldn't help but smile straight from my heart. i could see how much you cared from the look in your eyes. it made me never want to let you go, to just stay wrapped in your arms forever, where nothing else matters but you & me.

screw dinner dates & prom dances. just because i like to wear fancy clothes doesn't mean i like fancy places. take me to McDonalds or for a walk down by that lake. we can sit in your car & stare at the stars for all i care. my dress will clash with these places just like our personalities do, & boy, isn't that the most beautiful thing?

Life is funny. It's funny how the simplest things can knock us off our feet, the perfect gust of wind, driving down country roads with the windows down, seeing someone you love smile, being where you feel right, skinny dipping at midnight while the moon shines, letters from old friends...And yet, these simple things, remind us why we live.

But mostly, I cried because my life had been going full speed for so long and now it had just stopped, like running right into a big brick wall, knocking the wind and the fight right out of me. And I didn't know if I ever even wanted to get up and start breathing again. We're so busy watching out for what's just ahead of us that we don't take time to enjoy where we are.

Stars make me smile, because every time i see one i feel hope. hope that tomorrow is a new day with a new feeling. that something different, better, is out there waiting. everyone wishes on stars with the same hope.

Dont you realize what you are to me, and you're always gonna be? you're the love of my life. everone else is gonna be second best. there will never be another you.

i hope to god that we don't ever forget about each other.

sometimes all i really want to do is sit beside you. i want to watch cheesy and crappy movies with you, and we will laugh at them together. i want to plan things with you, things we’ll never do, but for some reason just planning them with you is fine with me. i want to talk to you about everything and anything. i want to goof around with you and make jokes that aren’t funny but we’ll laugh at them nonetheless. i just want to fall in love with you over and over and maybe at one point we’ll get tired of each other, but until then, i want you, and just you.

You hold my hands to your chest. I love to hear your heart beat.
Especially when I know it beats just for me

oh good god when that boy smiles i just get all these butterflies,
& its a feeling that you just cant explain.

Scars remind us where we’ve been. They don’t have to dictate where we’re going.

This year, do what makes you happy and forget about the things that may stand in the way of that feeling. Let go of the pain that was caused by trying to find love and this year, let love find you. You have 365 days to make it wonderful

Some days, we'll cuddle together on the couch, wearing sweats and eating ice cream that we both like, watching our favorite movie, making and laughing at the jokes that only we understand, I realized that this everyday, simple, no-big-deal moment is my kind of happiness.

It's time to move on with my life. I've got to stop
reading the same pages, and continue turning them.

Happiness is an attitude.  We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong.  The amount of work is the same.

You can't erase the past, you can't even change it. But sometimes, life offers you the opportunity to make it right.

We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets.

We don't talk anymore and I can't understand why.
It's like you gave me wings then told me it's illegal to fly.

Don’t let your victories go to your head, or your failures go to your heart.

A hug can turn your day around. It's like an emotional Heimlich. Someone puts their arms around you, and they give you a slight squeeze. And all of your fear and anxiety comes shooting out of your mouth. And you can finally breathe again.

i want a guy that doesn't care about what i wear or how i do my hair. who loves my smile & my dorky laugh & how i get hyper when i'm tired. who would never want to see me cry; at least not tears of sadness. and who would do those small things that make my day just because he knows it would make me happy.

i'm a happy person, i swear i am. i sing in the shower, and dance down the hallways. i laugh and giggle. i do all the things happy people do. i just love life, but that doesn't mean i don't miss him. it doesn't mean that i don't wish things had ended differently, and it doesn't mean that i don't get upset over the fact that he doesn't miss me at all. no, it doesn't mean that at all.

Change is constant. How we
experience change that's up to
 us. It can feel like death or it
can feel like a second chance at
life. If we open our fingers, loosen
our grips, go with it, it can feel like
pure adrenaline. Like at any moment
we can have another chance at life.
Like at any moment, we can be
born all over again.

Here's to the moments where
we didn't think about right &
wrong; where we just lived,
crossed our fingers,
and hoped for the best.

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

We are given a clean
canvas,the rest; the beautiful
design, is up to you.

I get lost in the beauty
of everything I see. The
 world ain't half as bad
as they paint it to be. <3

So just kiss me and let
my hair messy itself in
your fingers and let me steady
myself in the arms of a
boy that wont ask me to
be what he needs but
lets me exist as I am.

 Don`t quit because something went wrong. Quit because you tried your hardest & nothing made it better.

If you ever decide to go, i want a warning. you know, big flashing red lights and one of those clocks that counts down like a bomb in a movie. and there's a whole bunch of colored wires and i'm not sure which is the right one to cut but i guess the green one and then at the last second, no, the red one, then click, it stops with three-tenths of a second left but then you don't leave. like that, okay?

I've learned that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

It's not about how many times you had my back. It's about the one time you stabbed it.

it's amazing how fast time goes by, and how long it takes you to realize that you're losing someone that you thought would stand beside you forever.

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. And nobody will be as sorry as you if you don't get it. So don't give up on your dreams.

It's hard to forget someone who gave you so much to remember.

There's a thousand ways for things to fall apart, but it's no one's fault. No, it's not my fault. Maybe all the plans we made might not work out, but I have no doubt even though it's hard to see. I've got faith in us, and I believe in you and me.

I've realized that when I'm with you, the world goes away. When you look at me with your big green eyes, I could stay with you forever. And that every time we're talking, I constantly have a smile on my face. I've realized now that when I say I love you, I actually mean it with everything I have. I've realized that I can't be without you.

Who I am and who I used to be are two completely different people. Stop getting them confused.

I want silly pictures and late night texts. I want inside jokes and humorous stare down in the hallway. I want random hugs and good morning messages. I want to be asked 'oh, are you dating?' and I want to hear 'aww, you guys are adorable.' I want to be cliche, in every possible way. I love you, now won't you love me too?

The only nights I don't dream about you are the nights I stay up thinking about you.

Take a moment; promise me this. That you'll stand by me forever, or if God forbid fate shoud step in; & force us into a goodbye; if you have children someday, when they point to the pictures; please tell them my name.

Alone people don't want to hear about the together people, its just sort of mean. It's sort of like bringing a 6-pack to an AA meeting.



Remember when we were 11 years old? And we couldn't wait until we were teenagers? We looked at all those cool teens, with their cool cell phones, and cool Facebook's. Their cool makeup and cool clothes. All those cool boys they hung out with & going to PG-13 movies, with their cool friends. We looked at them and thought they were so cool, because they listened to those cool IPods, and wouldn't turn the volume down when their parents asked. We couldn't wait to grow up. We couldn't wait to wear that cool makeup, and hang out with those cool boys. We couldn't wait to not listen to our parents & blame it on being a teenager. And now that we’re teenagers, what were we thinking back then? Some of us put makeup on every morning, hoping that that one boy will notice us. We listen to our IPods so loudly to block out the world and all the drama. We’re sick of our cell phones and Facebooks. We turn off our phones. And log off of Facebook. Because we don’t want to talk to anyone. We can’t stand our friends & want to be a little kid again. So this is to all you non-teens, never grow up.
