• Best memories come from bad ideas.

  

  

  Sometimes even Superwoman needs a Superman to straighten out her cape…and if I’m Superwoman, you wanna know what my kryptonite is? It’s you. You’re the only one who makes me weak.

  
  

  I’ve learned that no matter how thin you slice it, there are always two sides. I’ve learned that it’s taking me a long time to become the person i want to be. I’ve learned that it’s a lot easier to react than it is to think. I’ve learned that either you control your attitude or it controls you. I’ve learned that maturity has more to do with the types of experiences you’ve had and what you’ve learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you’ve celebrated. I’ve learned that quantity is not as important as quality when it comes to best friends. I’ve learned that it isn’t enough to be forgiven by others, sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself. I’ve learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world will not stop for your grief. I’ve learned that background and circumstances might have influenced who you are, but we are responsible for who we become. I’ve learned that you can’t make someone love you, all you can do is be someone who can be loved. I’ve learned although the word “love” can have many meanings, it loses value when overly used. I’ve learned that no matter how old or wise you think you are, life never stops teaching.

  
  

  You know what the best feeling in the world is? Having a best friend, that one person who loves you, nor ever judges you no matter how badly you mess up. Someone who you have endless conversations with and can communicate by just using your eyes. That one person who just walks in your house, opens the fridge and grabs whatever they want out. Lastly it’s that person who knows so much about you that they could ruin your life in a second. But you trust them with your life and you know that they will never ever do that no matter what.

  
  

  Do me a favor? I know it isn’t your fault I don’t trust people or their word, but can you do one thing for me? Don’t make me a promise you can’t keep. Do not trick me into thinking you are always going to be there because let’s be honest, there is no way you could be unless you were attached to me. Then you would just get annoying. I know you’re going to lie sometimes, I will too. I know you’re going to get mad and frustrated and probably say some things you don’t mean…we all do. I’m not going to be unrealistic in the things I ask from you, this is it. I think with this I can always be happy, with you.

  
  

  No, I can’t bear to live my life alone. I grow impatient for a love to call my own. But when I feel that I can’t go on, these precious words keep me hanging on.

  
  

  Sometimes the only thing that people see is what you did. When in fact, they should be looking at why you did it.

  
  

  You can’t waste time over missing something in the past. Life changes, people grow up and grow apart, and you accept that. Yet you still can’t stop thinking of how good it used to be; afraid you’d never experience it again, afraid you’ve already lived it and already lost it.

  
  

  Make some new memories with the close loved one. Don’t dwell on memories of the past gone one.

  
  

  Some things, however, are true no matter how hard you might try to block them out. And a lie is always a lie, no matter how prettily told. Some doors, once they’re opened, can never be closed again. Just as some trust, once it’s been lost, can never be won back.

  
  

  You want love? I’ll make you fall so hard you’ll break your neck.

  
  

  A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.

  
  

  So, you’ll come across so many people in your life. Ones you think will stay in your life, stay with you forever. You come across people you will love, very much. But sometimes love isn’t enough to tackle all the obstacles in life and you will have to deal with the heartbreak of knowing that that person you love is gone and you’re left, alone, to try your very hardest to fall out of love. To do something you never thought you’d have to do. Just keep your head held high. Don’t let it get to you, don’t fall apart. Clear your heart and let it go. And when it comes around again, let love in. Because you never know. It’s all about having faith.

  
  

  Having someone to sit beside you is nice. Having someone to wipe your tears away is great. Having someone to hug you to sleep at night is wonderful. But trust me, being that someone to somebody feels even better.

  
  

  You know why it’s hard to be happy? It’s because we refuse to let go of the things that make us sad.

  
  

  Do not give up, the beginning is always that hardest.

  
  

  I feel like people get lost when they think of happiness as a destination. We’re always thinking that someday we’ll be happy. You know, we’ll get that car or that job or that person in our lives that fixes everything. But happiness is a mood and a condition, it’s not a destination. It’s like being tired or hungry; it’s not permanent, it comes and goes, and that’s okay. And I feel like if people thought of it that way, they’d find happiness a lot more often.

  
  

  It’s like the people who believe they’ll be happy if they go and live somewhere else, but who learn it doesn’t work that way. Wherever you go, you take yourself with you. If you see what I mean.

  
  

  At this age, everything is changing. Day by day we don’t notice, 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 the more we grow the less sense it will make. So make the most of it now, before it all changes once again, because in the near future, all of this is only going to be memories.

  
  

  Off is the general direction in which I wish you would fuck.

  
  

  Smile beautifully. Smile big. Smile confidently. That way everyone thinks you’ve got all kinds of secret things going on.That keeps them wanting more. And when they want more, you’re automatically interesting.

  
  

  Your face is just fine; but you’re gonna have to put a bag over that personality.

  
  

  I’m thinking that sometimes you just have to make the decision to be happy. Just realize that things aren’t ever what you hoped they’d be. Not ever. For anybody. The only thing that separates one kind of person from another is that there are some who stay angry about it and there are some who accept what comes their way. 

  

  I spent a lot of time searching for reasons, for answers. But you can’t find what’s not there.

  
  

  So please try not to hate me. I am a flawed human being – a far more flawed human being than you realize. Which is precisely why I do not want you to hate me. Because if you were to do that, I would really go to pieces. I can’t do what you do: I can’t slip inside my shell and wait for things to pass.

  
  

  Don’t call yourself a man, when you have no qualities of one.

  
  

  There’s a lot I don’t understand. But I do know it’s important to keep fighting. I learned that from you. We never win. Never will. That’s not why we fight. We do it because there’s things worth fighting for.

  
  

  I’m just going to let it be, take it as it comes and watch it as it leaves.

  
  

  Sometimes you just have to finally admit that you don’t deserve any of this, and leave. Even if it’s going to be the hardest thing you ever do.

  
  

  I’ve learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just assholes. I’ve learned that it takes years to build up trust, & it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t compare yourself to others, they are more screwed up than you think. I’ve learned that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon, & all the less important ones just never go away.

  
  

  It’s so strange how life works. You want something and you wait and wait and feel like it’s taking forever to come. Then it happens and it’s over and all you want to do is curl back up in that moment before things changed.
