• What consumes your mind, controls your life

  

  

  We all make mistakes, why is that so hard for people to understand? No one should be judged by the mistakes they have made. It’s past news.

  
  

  The whole world, myself included, seem to have one thing in common: We’re just a crowd of people who don’t really fit in anywhere, attempting to convince one another that we do.

  
  

  I do love you. Don’t you see? Don’t you understand? You’re the love of my life. I can’t leave you. But you’re constantly leaving me. You walk away when you want, you come back when you want. So, I’m asking you, if you don’t see a future with us, please just end it. Because I’m in it. Put me out of my misery.

  
  

  I don’t understand how you can smile with all those tears in your eyes and tell me everything is wonderful now.

  
  

  Happiness is a conscious choice, not an automatic response.

  
  

  Life is great. Don’t let circumstances and society fool you into thinking that it’s not.

  
  

  A lot of people are afraid to say what they want, which is why they never get what they want.

  
  

  We become attached to what’s familiar, and sometimes we hold onto things that are safe and predictable, even if they are bad for us.

  
  

  I don’t have enough middle fingers to tell you how I really feel about you.

  
  

  If you are perfect. You haven’t lived.You know why? Because you never learn anything because you are so perfect. Because you never felt sadness and rejection. Because you are perfect no one will be good enough for you.

  
  

  Somehow everything’s gonna fall right into place. If we only had a way to make it fall faster everyday.

  
  

  There are all kinds of ways to force yourself to decide. We do it all the time, make decisions. If we actually thought about every decision we made, we’d be paralyzed. Which word to say next. Which way to turn. What to look at. Which number to dial. You have to decide which decisions you’re actually going to make, and then you have to let the rest of them go. It’s the places where you think you have a choice that can really mess you up.

  
  

  When you run from something, it only stays with you longer. When you fight something, it only makes it stronger.

  
  

  Not being perfect in every way doesn’t make you flawed, it makes you real.

  
  

  A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.

  
  

  Life doesn’t give you the people you want. It gives you the people you need. To help you. To hurt you. To love you. To leave you. And to make you into the person you were meant to be.

  
  

  Its a lesson we all gotta learn over and over; appreciate people while we still got them.

  
  

  Oh I’m sorry, I forgot, I’m only your friend when you have no one else.

  
  

  We all go through life like bulls in a China shop. A chip here, a crack there. Doing damage to ourselves, to other people. The problem is trying to figure out how to control the damage we’ve done, or that’s been done to us. Sometimes, the damage catches us by surprise. Sometimes, we think we can fix the damage. And sometimes, the damage is something we can’t even see. 

  
  

  I wish you would just show up on my doorstep. Not with anything special, just you. And when I’d open the door you’d smile and while I’m trying to figure out what the hell you’re doing here you’d tell me how hard the past months have been, how much you’ve thought about me, how much you regretted everything. And then you’d take me into your arms and ask me to forgive you and I would without hesitation. Then you’d grab my face and kiss me the way you used to and everything would be perfect again.

  
  

  You don’t know what freedom is. I’m free. I can breathe.

  
  

  Wanna know a secret? Somebody out there can’t stop thinking about you. You are beautiful. Don’t ever believe differently.

  
  

  You want to know the truth? I’m just trying to make it through the day with enough energy to face tomorrow.

  
  

  You are alive. You are living and breathing in this moment. You are terribly beautiful and fantastically unique. Do not waste it. Live each moment, my friend.

  
  

  Next time you look at someone thinking, “I wish I was that pretty,” remember that another person is thinking that same thing about you.

  
  

  Don’t give up, okay? I know you’ve been hurt, I know how it feels. Believe me, I do. But the feeling will pass. The tears will stop falling. Your heart will heal itself. I promise you it will, so hold on. Don’t let go, and don’t lose hope, because I promise you’ll find someone who will treat you right; the way he never did. Someone who will never leave you, the way he did. He’ll be worth the wait, so hang in there because I love you and I want you to be happy.

  
  

  Nobody has it easy, everybody has problems. You don’t know what they go through. Nobody is perfect, nobody deserves to be perfect. So before you start judging, criticizing, or mocking, remember everybody is fighting their own war.

  
  

  I’ve decided we should all get a “do-over” in life. Just one chance to change one minute of time in the past. If the series of events of our lives continually hinge on one another, each decision or action being a new turn in an infinite maze of possibilities but with no rewind, then I think we should all get a do-over.

  
  

  Sometimes you just have to put yourself out there and not worry about what happens.

  
  

  You walk down your packed high school hallways everyday. You pass hundreds of people you have never talked to, ex best friends & boyfriends. You pass the people that hate you & most importantly love you to death. If you could just freeze everyone & finally slow down time to look around. Do you finally notice the kids that have never had an equal chance? What about the beautiful popular girls that get all the boys, are they truly happy or is it all an act? And then look at yourself. Are you happy with who you are becoming or has high school turned you into someone you promised you would never be? Take a good look at your reflection before you judge anyone else; be the person you want to do. Fuck what everyone else tells you, just be who you are.

  
  

  The truth doesn’t always set you free; people prefer to believe prettier, neatly wrapped lies. 

  
  

  Don’t let your ears witness what your eyes didn’t see. Don’t let your mouth speak what your heart doesn’t feel.

  

  it’s not supposed to always make sense, because love isn’t made to be predictable.

  
  

  Don’t ever use someone’s past against them. You’re just reminding them of the mistakes they made back then. If you watch their facial expression carefully, then you’ll see the hurt in their eyes as they reminisce everything that happened. Never use emotion as a weapon, it strikes deeper than you can imagine.

  
  

  Say what you think, not what you think you should say.

  
  

  There’s really no point in worrying about the past, because there’s not a damn thing you can do to change it.

  
  

  Never reject anybody in your life, because good people give us happiness and bad people give us experience. Both are essential in life.

  
  

  Growing up can mean a lot things. It doesn’t mean you should become somebody completely new and stop loving the things you used to love. It means you’ve just added more things to the list.

  
  

  Remember the past, plan for the future, but live for today, because yesterday is gone & tomorrow may never come.

  
  

  I’m not miserable, but I’m not happy. I’m not strong, but I’m not weak. I’m not rude, but I’m not polite. I’m not popular, but I’m not a loner. I’m not sexy, but I’m not horrid. I’m not dumb, but I’m no genius. I’m not you, but I am me. Accept it.

  
  

  Nothing that’s worthwhile is ever easy. Remember that.

  
  

  That’s just life, really. Relationships fall apart & friendships end. People will throw away years in a day, but I guess everything has an expiration date.

  
  

  Speak the truth, even if your voice shakes.

  
  

  Be thankful for every heartbreak, for they were planned. They come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. Their purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life. And you do.

  
  

  I feel like everyone else gets the best of you and I just get the rest of you.

  
  

  There’s a story behind every person. There’s a reason why they’re the way they are. Think about that before you judge someone.

  
  

  Shut up, you’ll never be the man your mother is.

  
  

  A best friend is the person that you call when you are at your absolute worst, it is the person who saves you when you didn’t even notice that you needed saving, mostly it is the person who accepts you for who you are, & the person that you are becoming.

  
  

  I don’t wish to be everything to everyone, but I would like to be something to someone.

  
  

  Always keep a calm mind, it is our inner happiness. By letting go of our flaws, mistakes and criticism within our thoughts, we ‘ll free ourselves of this world’s problems. Just let everything simply exists beautiful through you.

  
  

  You couldn’t have loved her. You don’t destroy people you love.

  
  

  Don’t complain about things that you can’t change, because you can’t change them. And if something that you can change is bothering you, change it. There is no reason to not be happy in life.

  
  

  Choose me or lose me. I’m no one’s second choice.

  
  

  The best way to fight negative feelings is to surround yourself with positive people.

  
  

  There’s nothing wrong with shedding a few tears. It cleanses the soul.

  
  

  Sometimes when you are just trying to live normally, you’ll pass by or think about a certain place that makes you remember everything, everything that makes you want to stop living. And you try to convince yourself not to give up. Not again.

  
  

  As soon as I accept that you’re gone, your back.

  
  

  And no relationship is perfect, ever. There are some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something in order to gain something greater. But the love we have for each other is bigger than those 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.

  
  

  It’s real easy to talk about the right thing to do when it’s not your life.

  

  Sometimes words are not enough to make someone feel that you care for them. Sometimes, it needs a little effort to convince them you really care.

  
  

  Be proud of every scar on your heart, each one holds a lifetime’s worth of lessons.

  
  

  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 may never come your way, again.

  

  Failure isn’t falling down, it’s remaining where you’ve fallen.

  
  

  If there’s one thing I could take away from my previous relationships it would be to search for a beautiful heart, not necessarily a beautiful face. Beautiful people are not always good, but good people are always beautiful. There is nothing more beautiful than an intelligent, hard-working, independent, respectful man. It’s hard to say you deserve better when you, ladies, are in control of what you deserve.

  

  Friends are like boobs, some are real and some are fake.

  
  

  I just don’t get some people. If you have all the time in the world to talk about other people, and for them to be a topic of discussion with you and your friends, whenever you all get together…you obviously aren’t living your own life.

  
  

  Always remember to forget those who forgot you.

  
  

  There is inner beauty about a woman who believes in herself, who knows she is capable of anything that she puts her mind to. there is a beauty in the strength and determination of a woman who follows her own path, who isn’t thrown off by obstacles along the way. there is a beauty about a woman whose confidence comes from experiences – who knows she can fall, pick herself up and move on.

  
  

  The past; it’s done, it’s unchangeable. Move on.

  
  

  If you love someone, be brave enough to tell them, otherwise, be brave enough to watch them be loved by someone else. 

  
  

  The choices we make, and the chances we take, determine our destiny.

  
  

  That’s the problem with us, we’re too much alike. We’re stubborn asses and always want to get our own way. We both hate to be wrong and love to be right. But that’s the thing about love. No matter what happens, we always come back for each other one more time.

  
  

  Never be reckless with someone else’s heart, and don’t tolerate those who are reckless with yours.

  
  

  Sometimes life sucks. Sometimes people who you think you can rely on, let you down. Sometimes the things that you do turn around and bite you on the ass. Sometimes, you just wanna give up. But then there are those people who pick you up again, and help you see that, sometimes, life doesn’t have to suck.

  
  

  So here’s a piece of advice: let go when you’re hurting too much, give up when love isn’t enough, and move on when things aren’t like before. Because, surely there is someone out there who will love you even more.

  
  

  Maybe I’m not really in love with you. Only with the idea of love, of being together with someone. Of holding hands, kissing in the rain, and whispering secrets. The idea of someone you belong with. To share you worries with, to smile meaningfully to and to be yourself with. The idea of knowing that someone loves you for who you are and knowing that someone is thinking about you all day and dreaming about you all night. And vice versa. The idea of always having someone in your mind. Of drawing heart everywhere and singing along with all the love songs. You were my idea of love for so long. Now you’re just inextricably linked with it…I’m in love with love.

  
  

  Learn from the mistakes of others. You don’t have time to make them all yourself.

  
  

  I don’t care what everyone thinks, let them think they are better than me. Because I’m going to be the one to get out of this run down town. I’m going to be the one to look back and say “look at me now.”

  
  

  I fear being like everyone I hate, I fear failure, I fear losing control. I love balancing between chaos and control with everything I do. I always have a fear of going one way or another, getting lost in something, or losing everything to get lost in. And I fear being a completely acceptable sheep in society.

  
  

  Sometimes you have to forget what’s gone, appreciate what still remains, and look foward to what’s coming next.
