  You don’t have to learn how to control your thoughts; you just have to stop letting them control you.

  

  You need to see that life is not always perfect. We will not always get what we want. And though it hurts a lot, what should’ve happened, happened. Who should’ve left, left, and whatever has thrown you off course will always bring you to where it is you need to be.

  

  To put it in the simplest of terms, you are beautiful. You really are.

  

  If you haven’t the strength to impose your own terms upon life, you must accept the terms it offers you.

  

  It’s over before you know it, it all goes by so fast. The bad nights take forever and the good nights don’t ever seem to last.

  

  I thought a broken heart was the worst feeling possible, but I was wrong. Regrets are sitting right before it.

  

  You self-destructive little girl, pick yourself up, don’t blame the world. So you’ve screwed up but you’re gonna be okay. Now call your boyfriend and apologize. You pushed him pretty far away last night. He really loves you, you just don’t always love yourself.

  

  I haven’t heard your voice in a very long while now. I’m forgetting the way your words sounded. I’m sort of glad.

  

  Making mistakes is apart of growing up. You don’t just wake up and know what to do. If you think you do, you’re just wrong. It’s not an opinion, it’s a fact. A mistake can lead to something good, or bad. Sometimes it’s a choice. Sometimes you can avoid the bad, and choose the good. Sometimes it’s uncontrollable. Just like making mistakes. Mistakes are uncontrollable.

  

  The worst part is that they don’t notice. It’s not that they hate you, no. If they did, it would be so much easier. If they did, you could just hate them right back. Only, they don’t. They don’t hate you. They just don’t notice you. You’re just not there to them.

  

  Focus more on your desire than your doubt and the dream will take care of itself.

  

  The bad things in life open your eyes to the good things you weren’t paying attention to before.

  

  I’ve always avoided fights. I make jokes instead. I tell people what they want to hear in order to avoid a confrontation. I pretend to want things I don’t want, and I pretend not to want things I do want. No one gets hurt. Except me. The lines are so crossed and blurred at this point that I don’t know what I want. I just know I want it to be easy.

  

  Some people can just move on, you know? They mourn and cry and then they’re done with it or at least appear to be. But to me, I don’t know. I didn’t want to fix it; I didn’t want to forget it. It wasn’t something that was broken, it was just something that happened. And I’m finding ways, everyday, of working around it. I’m respecting and remembering it, but I’m getting along with my life at the same time.

  

  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.

  

  It doesn’t matter where you go in life, what you do or how much you have. What matters is who was beside you the entire time.

  

  The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

  

  You don’t have to hold it together every second of every day. It’s okay to break down. It’s okay to cry. You’re not invincible, you’re human.

  

  I remember being young. Having crushes that weren’t longer than a week. Valentine’s days came around and everyone knew they’d get a cute little card that said something cheesy, but cute to us. I remember putting his last name with my first and it went so well together. I was young, but even then I believed in love.

  

  It was a small mistake, but sometimes that’s all it takes.

  

  Sometimes you have to hold your head up high, blink away the tears, and learn how to say goodbye.

  

  Well, how did you expect it to be? You signed up for a car crash when you signed up with me. And you can’t swim to safety on a sinking ship. So go home if you’re ready to quit.

  

  Sometimes people decide to just be friends, even if their feeling is mutual. Not because love is hard to sustain, but because commitment complicates everything.
