This was why I was here. This was why I would take whatever reception waited for me when I got back. Because, underneath all the anger and the sarcasm, my friend was in pain. Right then, it was very clear in his eyes. I didn't know how to help him, but I knew I had to try. It's more than that I owe him.. And it's because his pain hurts me, too. He's become a part of me, and there's no changing that now

Tragedies happen. What are you going to do? Give up? Quit? No.
I realize now that when your heart breaks, you gotta fight like hell, to make sure you're still alive. Because you are. And that pain you feel? That's life. The confusion and fear? That's there to remind you, that somewhere out there is something better, and that something is worth fighting for.

Sometimes, pain becomes such a huge part of your life, that you expect it to always be there, because you can't remember a time in your life when it wasn't. But then, one day, you feel something else, something that feels wrong, only because it's so unfamiliar.
And, in that moment, you realize you're happy.

The essence of life is not being perfect, impressing people, or succeeding at everything. The essence of life is simply making mistakes and learning from them, surrounding yourself with people that love you when you're being yourself, and getting through the failures so that you can continue improving.
Being beautiful is more than how many boys look at you, or how much makeup you wear. It's about what you live for. It's about what defines you. It's about the heart that you have and what makes you special. It's about those little quirks that make you, you. It's about knowing that you are a creation of God, created in His image. It's about shining for Him, no matter what else is going on around you. It's about going against the flow, and living out what you honestly think. And that is a beautiful thing.

If you can dream it, you can do it. Because, winners don't wait for chances, they take them. The power to hold on in spite of everything, to endure, that is the quality of a winner. You won't get it all in one try. You have to learn that your greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising again, every time you fail. And the most important thing is: you have to cross the line. You cannot discover new oceans, unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.

To all the secret writers, late-night painters, would-be singers, lapsed and scared artists of every stripe, dig out your paintbrush, or your flute, or your dancing shoes. Pull out your camera or your computer or your pottery wheel. Today, tonight, after the kids are in bed when your homework is done, or instead of one more video game or magazine, create something, anything
They say that the hardest goodbye is the one unexplained. A sudden stop without any argument. People no longer have the audacity to stay “faithfully” in a relationship or even have the guts to finally commit. These are the ones you call “almost-had-you-relationship”, for me this is the hardest. You’re not officially a couple but you do what normal couples do, or you wish. It’s standing on a cliff, and maybe your in the position who wants to take that jump but you’re not really sure whether the other person will take the jump with you. The uncertainties of him/her waking up one morning and realizing that “this” is not what he or she wants anymore.
No assurance, you’re always second-guessing and at the end of it all, one leaves without a care in the world while the other one with a shattered heart. It’s the awkwardness when people ask you what’s your relationship and you know within yourself you don’t literally know

And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive
-Goo Goo Dolls - Iris

I want to get the chance to shine; not infront of a crowd, not by being famous. I want to shine from the inside out, and I want it to come from happiness and love and promise and clarity. I dont want to do it for you or for anyone else. I want to do it for myself, I want it to matter, and I want to get lost in it. I want to look back on my young years and see a blur of happiness, colors, love and fun. I want to be able to smile and say, I had my chance to shine, and I took it.

I felt something catch in my throat, a sudden urge
of sadness. It caught me unaware, almost taking my breath away.
that was the thing; you never get used to it,
the idea of something being gone.
Just when you think it's reconciled and accepted,
someone points it out to you and it just hits you all over again.

We are all a little damaged,
some of us hide it better than others
but on some level we are all torn up.
we take it out on others,
and beat through life carrying it all
& we will end up damaging someone else
and most of the time we won't notice, nor care,
because we are too busy with
our own little disaster.

do not let your fire go out,
spark by irreplaceable spark,
in the hopeless swamps of the approximate,
the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all.
do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved
but have never been able to reach.
check your road and the nature of your battle.
the world your desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible.
its yours.

If I say, shut your eyes
if I say, look away
bury your face in my shoulder
The things you put in your head
they will stay there forever
I'm trying hard to hide your soul from things it's not meant to see
help me to carry the fire to keep it alight, together
help me to carry the fire, this road won't go on forever
if I say, look away
bury your face in my shoulder
The things you put in your head
they will stay there forever
I'm trying hard to hide your soul from things it's not meant to see
help me to carry the fire to keep it alight, together
help me to carry the fire, this road won't go on forever

There will come a time in your life when you become absolutely infatuated with a single soul. For this person, you’d do anything and not think twice about it, but when asked why, you have no answer. You’ll try your whole life to understand how a single person can affect you as much as they do, but you’ll never find out. And no matter how badly it hurts or how badly you hate it, you’ll love this person for the rest of your life without regret
I think life is simpler than we tend to think. We look for answers and more answers. But there are no answers. Things happen in life, good things and bad. People say, ‘why did it happen to me?’ Well, why not? Some people win the lottery, and others die in a car crash. it happens, and there is nothing we can do about it.

It's amazing what one person can do. Some people build you up just to bend & break you. Some people bring out parts of you that you had no clue existed. All throughout life we meet people & every single one of them brings something to us, gives us some sort of purpose. We come across people that will hurt us so incredibly much that it seems unbearable to go on with our lives, but the truth is ; We can overcome anything we want to if we believe in it enough, if we have faith in ourselves, in who we are. The most important thing in life is to find yourself, know who you are at all times & stand by that for the rest of your life. No one has the right to tell you who you are or try & control your life cause it's yours. Your life is meant to be lived by no one else but yourself. We sometimes let people get the best of us, destroy us & change our opinions on what we believe is true. Only you can know what's right for yourself, you have the power, you make the choices & you learn. Each experience we go through in life is a lesson to be learned. We all make mistakes, why is that so hard for some to understand? No one should be judged by the mistakes they have made. It's past news. Everything happens for a reason, & without the hard times, how would we ever realize our true strength? It's only through a time of suffering when we realize how strong we truly are inside, when we realize how much we can actually put up with & deal with before we eventually break..

The way you make me feel is like smelling fresh grass or being in the back of a convertible under the stars. Or returning home from a long trip or just driving with no destination in the summer. It's like the feeling you get when you get an 'A' on your report card and your parents tell you how proud they are. Or when you hear your family laugh t o g e t h e r. It's like when you're outside on a hot summer day and you have a cold glass of water or when you talk to an old friend after a month or two, yet the two of you are still as close as ever. It's like the feeling you get when you hear your favorite childhood song on the radio for the first time in years, you turn it up and feel so alive. Or lying in bed watching a snow storm, knowing you don't have to get up for hours and just lay in the warmth of your comforters for hours. It's the way your stomach flip flops during your first kiss, or how your body feels when you take off in an airplane for the first time. Or when you drive around in the front seat of a car that belongs to the boy you like and even though you should feel scared beyond control because he's driving so fast and stupid, you feel safe and alive. Yeah, that feeling. That way you make me feel, feels good to me.

I'm never letting this one go because, often, certain people enter our lives at the most peculiar times for the most beautiful reasons. They seem to make the most perfect impressions while leaving us behind an everlasting impact. Some of the best things in life appear when you least expect them, things you can never forget
zaterdag 22 januari 2011
You're sixteen; not married yet, so go with the flow. Laugh tons. Use manners. Try something new. Just kiss him already! Trust your feelings. Spend your cash. Introduce yourself. Take a chance. Study hard. Seek happiness. Regret nothing. Don't laugh at people's dreams. Wish. Challenge yourself. Take pictures. Appreciate the memories. Dance in your underwear. Learn from the past. Dress up... then take your clothes off. Have the best times of your life
You want back in my life. After all the hurtful words, lies and heart ache you put me through, you think im just going to let you walk right back in? Of course, i want to but i just cant. I know you're having a hard time believing that but its impossible to let you back in. I cared about you too much. But you through it all away, i just cant trust you with my heart anymore.
The sad part is.. you're still on my mind, all day long. Everything reminds me of you, and it's so hard not to look at you when we pass by in the hallway. I'm only trying to show you that I don't care, when I care more about you than I care about myself. I'm sorry I'm not good enough for you. I'm sorry you don't like me anymore, but why can't you just tell me you don't? Is it that, you don't want to hurt me or something? It's not like you haven't done it before. You know for a fact you have because you admitted you hurt me. Stop hurting me.
You gave me the best gift anyone ever could, you took me through one of the biggest life experiences. You and I made countless memories that I will cherish forever, and you completely helped me find myself. Although the pain ran deeper than nearly anything else, I would never have wanted to share my first love with anyone else.

"I didn’t plan on falling in love with you, and I doubt if you planned on falling in love with me. But once we met, it was clear that neither of us could control what was happening to us. We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has happened only once and that’s why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I’ll never forget a single moment of it. "
maandag 3 januari 2011
Trust me; I’m not lying. I do miss you deep down inside. You told me that I wouldn’t lose you, yet I lost you. You told me you wanted to spend time with me, but I didn’t get my chance to. Somehow I should have expected this to happen, but I didn’t let it bother me. It’s kind of like I wanted it to happen. You said things that no one has ever said to me and you opened my eyes to what surrounds me. You made me realize that I had a lot more than I actually thought and no one has made me feel so loved like you did. You taught me how to love. You taught me to not only love myself, but you taught me how to love others. Whether you believe it or not, I fell in love with you.
I miss talking to you everyday. What happened between us? Did I stop talking or did you? As each day kept passing by, did I ever cross your mind? Looking back now, I’ve realised how long it’s been. I wonder why we stopped talking. Did we run out of things to say to each other? Have we replaced each other? I just miss how we use to be.
The truth is, I’m one of those few people who actually care when I ask “What’s wrong?”. The only problem is that usually I have no idea what to say afterwards or how to make it better. I try not to use phrases like “That sucks” or “I’m sorry”, but I still can never find the right words to say. But I promise, I’ll always listen. I guess that’s all I can do.
Everything is changing. Day by day, we don’t notice it, but just look back over the past year and you will realize everything has. People you thought were going to be there forever aren’t, and people you never imagined you’d be speaking to are now some of your closest friends. Life makes little sense, and older we are the less sense it will make. So make the most of now, before it all changes once again, because in the near future, all that’s left would be memories.
The next thing i knew he was holding my hand and looking right in my eyes. My heart stopped. It just stopped beating. And for the first time in my life, I had that feeling. You know, like the world is moving all around you, all beneath you, inside you, and you’re floating. Floating in mid air. And the only thing keeping you from drifting away is the other person’s eyes. They are connected to yours by some invisible force, and they hold you fast while the rest of the world spins, and twirls, and falls completely away.

Lilly: What's a soulmate?
Dawson: Well, it's like a best friend, but more. It's the one person in the world that knows you better than anyone else. It's someone who makes you a better person, well, actually they don't make you a better person - you do that yourself because they inspire you. A soulmate is someone who you carry with you forever. It's the one person who knew you, and accepted you, and believed in you before anyone else did or when no one else would. And no matter what happens... you will always love them.

Have you ever wondered about the things we tell ourselves before we fall asleep? We whisper the words in the dark, telling ourselves that we’re happy, or that he’s happy, that people will change their minds. We persuade ourselves that we can live without the people who have left. Each night before we fall asleep we lie to ourselves in a desperate hope that come morning, it will all be true.
Because right now, all I have are memories which hurt to remember. It’s a painful uphill journey, going through each day wirthout you and knowing you don’t care. There are moments when I think that it’s gonna be a different day, when things may just finally fall into place but those are just moments that fade away rapidly, in a measure of a heartbeat.
One Tree Hill, Season 7
Haley: It all just feels so fake, you know? This idea that good things happen to good people. That there’s magic in the world, and that the meek and the righteous will inherit it. Too many good people suffer for that to be true. Too many prayers go unanswered. And every day it just gets worse. Every day we ignore how truly broken this world is, and we tell ourselves it’s all going to be okay. But it’s not going to be okay. And once you know that, there’s no going back. There’s no magic in the world... at least today there isn’t.

We make all sorts of decisions and choices everyday and we end up doing things; some we wish we had never done, some we wish we could relieve over and over again. But all of these make us for who we are. If we were to reverse any of them we wouldn’t be who we are now so just live, make mistakes, learn from them and never doubt who you are, where you’ve been and where you’re going.
Everything is changing. Day by day, we don’t notice it, but just look back over the past year and you will realize everything has.
