I’ve got some friends, some that I hardly know, but we’ve got some times I wouldn’t trade for the world. We chase down these days with the talks of where we will go.
I hang my hopes out on the line Will they be ready for you in time If you leave them out too long They’ll be withered by this song Full stops and exclamation marks My words stumble before I start How far can you send emotions? Can this bridge cross the ocean?
To get a woman’s heart, a man must first use his own.
Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.
Burn it down until the embers smoke on the ground. Start new, when your heart is an empty room. With walls of the deepest blue.
To belittle is to be little.
Why is it that as soon as we really start to get over someone they have a way of showing up?
Life is all so crazy and god must be thoroughly entertained by all our little dances.
Sometimes there is no next time, no time-outs, no second chances; sometimes it’s now or never.
Some things tie your life together, with slender threads & things to treasure. Days like that should last & last.
In a way, I know my heart is waking up, as all the walls come tumbling down.
When you truly care for someone, you don’t look for faults. You don’t look for answers. You don’t look for mistakes. Instead, you fight the mistakes. You accept the faults and overlook the excuses. The measure of love is when you love without measure. There are rare chances that you will meet the person you love and who loves you in return. So once you have it, don’t ever let go. That chance might never come your way again.

Enjoy your youth. You’ll never be younger than you are at this very moment.
Today I am happy because I don’t have any reason not to be.
Learn from your past, move on, grow stronger. People are fake, but let your trust last longer. Do what you gotta do, but always stay true. And never let anyone get the best of you.
When a man says he doesn’t know what he wants, he means he doesn’t want you but he’ll keep you around ’till he finds what he wants.
Don’t forget to love yourself.
We love everything that is tied up neatly, easily, and simply but when we can not find that, it scares the hell out of us, to not know the next step, or where things are headed. Being unsure is never part of our plan. But it’s those moments, the ones where you risk it and take a chance regardless of how vulnerable it makes us, that help us remember that life is larger than we’ll ever know.
Live without pretending, Love without depending, Listen without defending, Speak without offending.
Hold up, hold on, don’t be scared You’ll never change what’s been and gone May your smile, Shine on, Don’t be scared Your destiny may keep you warm.
Don’t worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say.
He’s gonna be so sorry he lost you, so stop worrying. Forget the past, forget the pain, and remember what an incredible woman you are. When you do that, is when he realize what he’s lost.
If they can’t do their part, then they don’t deserve your heart.
Everything leaves a mark.
Happiness is not a consequence; it’s a state of being.

Like I know somethin’ y’all don’t know Man that talk is gettin’ old You better mind your buisness, man watch your mouth Before I have to knock that loud mouth out I’m tired of talkin’, man y’all ain’t listening Them ol’ dirt roads is what y’all missin’
It’s like every time we spend time…it feels like the first time…we never spend enough time…you catch me at the worst time.
Acknowledge me now, or lose me forever.
If you’re planning to let me go today, make sure you’ll never come back tomorrow.
If somebody doesn’t realize your worth, then they don’t deserve to be with you.
I wanted everything to stay the same, but feelings fade and people change.
If things aren’t working out and you gave your all, move on, if it comes back to you it will mean much more.
If you’re just an option to him then moving on should be a priority for you!
Let us forget with generosity those who cannot love us.
Time turns flames to embers you’ll have new Septembers every one of us has messed up too Minds change like the weather I hope you remember today is never too late to be brand new.
Love it when you’re here, but I’m better when you’re gone.
Let your waves crash down & take me away.

I wish there were a rulebook for intimacy. Some kind of guide to tell you when you’ve crossed the line. It would be nice if you could see it coming, and I don’t know how you fit it on a map. You take it where you can get it, and keep it as long as you can. As for rules, maybe there are none. Maybe the rules of intimacy are something we have to define for ourselves. – Meredith Grey
She lacks confidence, she craves admiration insatiably. She lives on the reflections of herself in the eyes of others. She doe not dare to be herself. – Anais Nin
When people are protecting something truly special to them, they truly can become…as strong as they can be. – Masashi Kishimoto (Naruto)
Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one’s head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace. You can help me. You can open for me the portals of Death’s house, for Love is always with you, and Love is stronger than Death is. – Oscar Wilde
If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude. Don’t complain. ― Maya Angelou

I will remember your small room, the feel of you, the light in the window, your records, your books, our morning coffee, our noons, our nights, our bodies spilled together, sleeping, the tiny flowing currents, immediate and forever. Your leg, my leg, your arm, my arm, your smile and the warmth of you who made me laugh again. – Charles Bukowksi
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 promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don’t blush, I am telling you some truths. 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 and a fortunate accident. – Louis de Bernières, Captain Corelli’s Mandolin (via c0mets)
Years of love have been forgot, in the hatred of a minute. – Edgar Allan Poe

Whoever loves you now—and you must also love yourself—will love the truth of you. – Cassandra Clare (Clockwork Angel)
If someone really wanted you, they’d actually put some effrot into trying to get your attention, and make sacrifices for you. They wouldn’t just tell you that they want you; they’d show you in every little was possible that they want you.
Don’t you understand that we need to be childish in order to understand? Only a child sees things with perfect clarity, because it hasn’t developed all those filters which prevent us from seeing things that we don’t expect to see. – Douglas Adams
When I was seventeen, I don’t think I even knew what love was. But when it’s right, it’s right, and you just know it. – Nicholas Sparks
That’s what real love amounts to – letting a person be what he really is. Most people love you for who you pretend to be. To keep their love, you keep pretending – performing. You get to love your pretense. It’s true, we’re locked in an image, an act – and the sad thing is, people get so used to their image, they grow attached to their masks. They love their chains. They forget all about who they really are. And if you try to remind them, they hate you for it, they feel like you’re trying to steal their most precious possession. – Jim Morrison

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation. ~Oscar Wilde
Learn to be what you are, and learn to resign with a good grace all that you are not. ~Henri Frederic Amiel
Here are three classes of people: Those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see. ~Leondardo Da Vinci
I believe in angels, the kind that heaven sends. I’m surrounded by angels, but I call them my best friends.
A girl and a guy can be just friends, but at one point or another they will fall for each other. Maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late, or maybe forever.
The only guy a girl can trust is her DADDY. Guys you have BIG shoes to fill because my DADDY will sure be hard to beat.
Love is like a butterfly, hold it too tight, it’ll crush, hold it too loose, it’ll fly.
Friends are like stars. They come and go but the first that stay are the first that glow.

Take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footsteps, kill nothing but time.
In the end, life’s all about broken heart lessons learned and the memories that are made.
Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons later.
Life is full of years that mean nothing and moments that mean everything.
This is your LIFE. Are you who you want to be?
Pain is just there to remind you that you’re still alive.
Somewhere there’s someone, who dreams about your smile, and finds in your presence, that life is worth while. So, when you are lonely, remember it’s true, somebody somewhere is thinking of you.
No matter how serious life gets, you always need those few people that you can always be be completely stupid with.
Your biggest challenge isn’t someone else. It’s the ache in your lungs, and the burning in your legs and the voice inside you that yells CAN’T. Don’t listen. Push harder. And then you hear the voice whisper CAN. And you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are.
Life is a waste of time. Time is a waste of life.
There are three things that should never be broken: Hearts – Friendships – Promises.

Time is the most important thing in the world. It is the only thing that can fix my broken heart. It is the only thing that keeps me going, and it is the only thing that keeps my hopes alive.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
No one can ever promise you they will never hurt you, because at one time or another it will happen. The real promise is if the time you spent together will be worth the pain in the end.
Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.
Time can be your worst enemy or your best friend.
The perfect time will never come; never wait for perfection just make it.
Time is a wheel in constant motion, so you just have to ride with it and take all the bumps and turns. Just focus on the destination and it will get you through.
The only thing that cannot be recycled is time wasted.
The biggest mistake you can make is to drift apart from someone, who you once had the time of your life with.
Sometimes life gets so hard to deal with. And the only escape is to put on your headphones and blast the music until everything goes away.
Take too many pictures, laugh too much, love like you’ve never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back.
The hardest part isn’t finding who we need to be. It’s being content with who we are.
In this life, we’re constantly fighting the battle of who we are & who we wanna be.
Everything happens for a reason. But the hard part is trying to figure out what that reason is.
It’s funny because when you do something right, no one remembers. But when you do something wrong, no one forgets.
You`ll never know what it feels like to get up if you have never fallen down.

Sing from the heart…dream from the soul….smile at the stars…and love like you’ll never let go…
If you live your life being afraid of what people are going to think of you for every little thing that you do then you might as well not be living. Go ahead, make a fool of yourself, as long as you have fun while doing it!
We do not know the value of our moments until they have become a memory.
Happiness comes in many forms: in the company of good friends, in the feeling you get when you make someone else’s dream come true, or in the promise of hope renewed.
There are certain people who are not meant to fit into your life, no matter how much you want them to.
The greatest love is that of God. To love otherwise is mere imperfection.

People universally tend to think that happiness is a stroke of luck, something that will maybe descend upon you like fine weather if you are fortunate enough. But that’s not how happiness works. Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it… – Eat, Pray, Love
Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth. – Benjamin Disraeli

We are dying from overthinking. We are slowly killing ourselves by thinking about everything. Think. Think. Think. You can never trust the human mind anyway. It’s a death trap. – Anthony Hopkins
For every heart that finds love there is a heart that cries. For every dream that is reborn ; there is a dream that dies. For every day filled with sun ; there is a day of rain.

Fight for the things you could never afford to lose and replace.
Don’t let the past dictate who you are, but let it be part of who you will become.
If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never get it. If you don’t ask, the answer is always no. If you don’t step forward, you’re always in the same place.
Just be yourself, and if people don’t like it, well f*** them. – Paris Hilton

Beautiful people do not just happen. – Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
