• Do you believe in magic?

  

  

  Too many people get caught up in what could be instead of appreciating what is. Don’t fall into that trap. Appreciate what you have and who you have, because the future can take it all away from you.

  

  You walk around like you’re okay. Maybe you’re not, at least not today. The sun’s not shining, but there’s no rain. This feeling of missing you is driving me insane.

  

  I’m not sure about much and I always struggle to explain the way I feel. I don’t open to anyone and I keep my heart locked away. But somehow you made it leap out of my chest. Somehow you get me to tell you my deepest, darkest secrets. And somehow I might have fallen in love with you.

  

  Do you ever get that feeling where you don’t want to talk to anybody? You don’t want to smile and you don’t want to fake being happy. But at the same time you don’t know exactly what’s wrong either. There isn’t a way to explain it to someone who doesn’t already understand. If you could want anything in the world it would be to be alone. People have stopped being comforting and being alone never was. At least when you’re alone no one will constantly ask you what is wrong and there isn’t anyone who won’t take ‘I don’t know’ for an answer. You feel the way you do just because. You hope the feeling will pass soon and that you will be able to be yourself again, but until then all you can do is wait.

  

  Google doesn’t have all the answers. It can’t tell you how to fall in love, or how to know if someone’s falling in love with you. It can’t tell you if you’re falling out of love, or if someone’s falling out of love with you. It can’t tell you if someone is lying to you. It can’t tell you how to say goodbye to people you love. It can’t tell you if you should follow your head or your heart. Google can’t explain why he left. It can’t explain why he didn’t follow when you walked away. Nobody can answer those questions, except ourselves.

  

  Eventually you will come to realize that love heals everything and love is all there is.

  

  I want warm summer nights, to lie in a hammock, staring at the stars, telling you stories. I want to dip my toes in the water, to dangle my feet off the edge of the dock and sit leaning forward, looking at you, laughing. To huddle around a fire on the beach, salt water drying into my hair, reading from that book you always carry. I want to sit next to you on a log and sleep next to you in a tent. I want to wake up early and make pancakes over a fire, to wash the dishes in the river while we swim. To build sandcastles and castles-in-the-air. I want to drive home with my bare feet on the dashboard, the windows down, my hair whipped in every direction from the wind rushing through the open windows. I want to hear your voice humming to the tune of the songs on the radio that you don’t know the words to. I want to be able to look at you and smile and not say a word. To have adventures and passion and to truly live.

  

  Things change, I mean you make a discovery and sometimes you’re just not meant to be. Or it’s just not the right timing or you just learn from it.

  

  Let go but never forget the past. There are many great things that can be learned from what you have been through.

  

  I guess the real fact of the matter is, we don’t know what tomorrow’s going to bring and the only thing we really have is right now. so, don’t stay mad for too long. learn to forgive. love with all your heart. stay up all night. Hhve fun. live your life the way you want to live it. fon’t worry about people that don’t like you. enjoy the ones who do. have a crush. kiss a boy. just live life the way you want and you’ll be happy with and don’t let anyone tell you you’re doing it wrong.

  

  Eventually all the pieces fall into place. Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moment and know that everything happens for a reason.

  

  I don’t know what hurts more; Being told you’re just one of the many girls, or he wants many girls, but you at the end of the night.

  

  If we knew what people say about us, and how unfair many of their judgements are, we would be slower to judge others without knowing all that is going on behind the scenes in their lives.

  

  If you think i’ve given up on you, you’re crazy and if you think I don’t love you, then you’re just wrong.

  

  I’m not always as confident as I seem. There are many nights and many days when all I want is to be held. I love being held. Always. Sometimes I don’t want to talk about what is bothering me. Sometimes I just want a hug. Someone who will let me cry. I like when boys cry in front of me – when people aren’t afraid to show what they’re really feeling. I don’t like when people run from their true feelings because it doesn’t do anyone any good. I wear my heart on my sleeve, but I am not naive. I know what it feels like to be completely broken and I am all too familiar with what it means to be hurt. I know what it’s like to see something funny and not laugh. I’ve been taken advantage of, used, and abused. My feelings have been blatantly disregarded. But I still believe that all people are good at heart. And my trust in people has not diminished. To be completely honest, I hope it never does. Ever.

  

  It has never been a question of who forgets. But sometimes, there’s a definite pain on being the one who remembers everything.

  

  I love writing, I love opinions and quotes and expressions. It’s so beautiful to know that you’re not alone in this messed up world. It’s relieving to know that someone else feels the same way you do.

  

  Sometimes you have to be strong for yourself. You have to know that you’re a good person and a good friend. What’s meant to be will end up good and what’s not – wont. Love is worth fighting for, but sometimes you cant be the only one fighting. At times, people need to fight for you. If they don’t, you just have to move on and realize what you gave them was more than they were willing to give you. Hopefully, people realize great things when they come around and don’t lose something real. Always fight, until you can’t anymore, and then be fought for.

  

  My mom always said, “Men don’t think.” I thought she meant, “They are mistaken in their thoughts.” But they’re just not thinking anything at all. About you. They’re watching the game. That’s why they haven’t called.
