What screws us up in life
the most is the picture in our
head of how it should be.
The trouble with doing something
right for the first time is that nobody
appreciates how difficult it was.
Life is a matter of choice. You can be a
doctor who saves life, a lawyer who defends
life, a soldier who protects life. Or just be
yourself, a person who touched my life.
Happiness cannot be traveled
to, owned, earned, worn or
consumed. Happiness is the
spiritual experience of living
every minute with love, grace
and gratitude.
I think it's okay that you're the only one
that gets me, and I love how I can't breathe
quite right as you slowly whisper in my ear,
Your beautiful and I love you.
Bad is not an absolute, but a relative term.
Ask the robber who used the cash he stole
to feed his infant; the rapist who was sexually
abused as a child; the kidnapper who truly
believed he was saving a life. And just
because you break the law doesn't mean
you have intentionally crossed the line into evil.
Sometimes the line creeps up on you, and before
you know it, you're standing on the other side
.
The difference between fiction
and reality? Fiction has to make sense.
I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or  how bad it
seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way
they handle these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and
tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of
your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when
they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a "living"
is not  the same thing as making a "life." I’ve learned that life
sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you
shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands;
you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned
that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually
make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have
pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you
should reach out and touch someone. People  love a warm hug,
or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a
lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said,
people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how
you made them feel.
Maybe not everything is
supposed to last forever.
Certain things are like skywriting; 
like a really beautiful thing that
only lasts for a couple moments.
The saddest kind of sad, is the
sad that tries not to be sad. You
know when sad tries to bite it's
lip and not cry and smile and say,
No, I'm happy for you?
That's when it's really sad.
If you could hear me, I would
tell you, that our fingerprints don't
fade from the lives we've touched.
Nobody has ever measured,
not even poets, how much the
heart can hold.
Our story has three parts: a beginning,
a middle, and an end. And although this
is the way all stories unfold, I still can't
believe that ours didn't go on forever.
Faith is believing in something beyond
yourself it's believing in things you can't
see, touch, hear; like love or hope. It's
never too late to realize whats important
in life, and start fighting for them.
Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels.
The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square
hole. The ones who see things differently. They're
not fond of rules. And they have no respect for
the status quo. You can quote them, disagree
with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only
thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they
change things. They push the human race forward.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones,
we see genius. Because the people who are crazy
enough to think they can change the world, are the
ones who do.
But, is just a word you use
when you are afraid of trying.
You do your thing, I'll do mine.
You go your way, I'll go mine.
And if we end up together, it's beautiful.
So, let's say that theoretically I really like
you. And theoretically, even though it sounds
moronically cliche and overused, you give
me butterflies. And just for kicks, let's add
that, all in theory of course, you may be one
of the most wonderful people I have ever met.
And hypothetically, my heart beats ten times
faster when I see you. Do you think that you
would supposedly, and in the most theoretical
sense, feel the same way?
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.
This is not my strongest point, that she knows.
She pardons me for stepping on her toes. I've
heard she's a pageant queen, so what's she doing
dancing with me? I hope time could stop. It's
hard for me to breathe. She's really falling in love
with me. What should I say? What should I do?
Don't let this end now. Slow this dance
down. I could stay here all night, forever.
People need to see that, far from being
an obstacle, the world's diversity of
languages, religions, and traditions is
a great treasure, affording us precious
opportunities to recognize ourselves
in others.
I've learned that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be. The number one reason why people give up so fast is because they tend to look at how far they still have to go, instead of how far they have gotten.
You don't have to be afraid to put your dream in action. Your never gonna fade, you'll be the main attraction, not a fantasy. Just remember me when it turns out right.
I may still not know what I want to be when I grow up, but I do know that someday I want to live in a house filled with my books and travel souvenirs. And the walls that aren’t covered in bookshelves will be covered with photos of my family and friends. When I leave the house I will be going to a job I love, and I’ll return to a person I love. So, that’s the dream I’m working on.
The bottom line is that if you really care for somene, it's easy to make the sacrifice.
in the best, most desireable way, you scare me. but i love the way you scare me but it makes me nervous & then i say or do something really stupid so i spend all this energy coming up with ideas to be smart so that you dont think im stupid & those ideas inherently backfire therefore making me look more stupid. its a vicious circle, & im at the end of my rope because all i really wanna do is kiss you & i feel if i dont kiss you soon, im gonna explode.
There's a difference between goodbye and letting go. Goodbye is "I'll see you again when I'm ready to hold your hand, & when you're ready to hold mine. Letting go is "I'll miss your hand. I realized it's not mine to hold, and I will never hold it again."
I just want something beautiful. I wanna look in your eyes. I wanna listen to you sing my favorite song and cry. I wanna reach into your oceans. I wanna calm your sea and your storms. I wanna let you take a hold of this sinking ship and lead me home. I wanna pack up and move with you, and never look behind. I wanna take your hand as we chase down the skyline. I wanna tell you my stories, and wake you up in the middle of the night. I want you to tell me I'm wrong. And I just want you to smile at me when I'm right.

Her voice became his passion,
His love became her obsession,
it was sweet yet dangerous
just how she wanted it
as she gazes upon his smile, she think to herself,
she's never seen an angel fly so low
No matter how painful the
decision may have been, 

as long as you sleep well

 at night, you made 

the right choice.
I want you. And me. I want us.
I want holding hands.
I want looking each other in the eye.
I want hugs, and kisses.
I don't expect to be lavished in gifts,
I don't even expect you to compliment me every minute.
I just want us. I want to give us a fair chance.
I want to be able to call you mine,
And I want to be able to say I'm your's.
I just want to give it a shot, that's all.
Watching you walk out of
my life does not make me
bitter about love. But rather,
makes me realize that if I
wanted so much to be with
the wrong person, how
beautiful it will be when
the right one comes along.
Men may have discovered fire;
but women discovered how
to play with it.
You want everything to stay the
same until you're ready for it to
change. But you can't do that. You
can't expect the whole world to
stand still until you're ready.
There's really nothing left to save.
I mean, you & I, we both gave
what we gave. Now is not the time
to go back and determine who was
right & who was wrong. Honestly,
no one has made me miss them
this bad in so long. It seemed
so harsh, how could you just
forget about me? I close my eyes
to shut out the world, still you're
all I see.
I will always be that girl, wanting
but never having. I will always be
that girl, seeing but never feeling.
I will always be that girl, who
doesn't know the difference
between dreams & reality. I guess
you can say, I will always be
that girl, waiting.
The key is to trust people to be who
they are. Instead, we trust who we
want them to be, and when they
aren't, we cry.
That's what life is. It's a series
of rooms and you base you're decisions
off of who you're stuck in a room with
and that makes you who you are.
I'll pull the sun down from the sky to light
your darkest night. I wouldn't let one drop
of rain into your life. Put your heart in my
hands & I would never paint your world
blue. & if sometimes it seems I might have
lost my mind, I might be crazy, but I'm
crazy for you.
God placed our heads above our hearts
so that we can think over what we feel.
be good or be good at it.
I look at you and I see my best friend. Your energy and your passion inspire me in ways I never thought possible. Your inner beauty is so strong, that I no longer fear being myself. I no longer fear at all. I never thought that I could find someone to love that would love me back unconditionally. Then I realized, you were always with me. You give me purpose, when I feel I have none.
