  Don’t let mixed signals fool you, indecision is a decision.

  

  It’s not what’s happening to you now or what has happened in your past that determines who you become. Rather, it’s your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you’re going to do about them that will determine your ultimate destiny.

  

  Some people are afraid of what they might find if they try to analyze themselves too much, but you have to crawl into your wounds to discover where your fears are, once the bleeding starts, the cleansing can begin.

  

  Hope is a driving factor in helping us stay on course in life, it may feel as though it comes and goes, but in reality there is always hope, there is always a chance for something else to happen, and you need to have faith that it will.

  

  Life’s under no obligation to give us what we expect, we take what we get and are thankful its no worse then it is.

  

  We like to pretend that high heels don’t hurt our feet, and that we always look as good as we do when we’re wearing make-up and our prettiest clothes. We like to tell ourselves that not every guy is the same, and that maybe he’ll change if we’re patient with whatever life throws our way. We hide behind smiles and mask ourselves in laughter while thinking maybe it’ll be enough to convince ourselves we’re really that happen; we tell ourselves we really need to be that happy. But sometimes, life isn’t okay, and it’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to hurt, and sometimes, we just need a reminder that we’re only human. And as miraculous of a blessing as that is, it can still break you down, leave a mess, shake you up, and confuse you until you don’t understand what it means anymore. You’re going to hurt, you’re going to fall, and you’re going to make mistakes that – sometimes – you even know better than to allow yourself to make. But that’s okay. Sometimes, you just need a reminder that it’ll all be okay; here’s your reminder, beautiful. Hold on for better days, keep that gorgeous smile where we can see it, because I can promise you things won’t always be this way.

  

  You start out life with a clean slate. Then you begin to make your mark. You face decisions, make choices. You keep moving forward. But sooner or later there comes a time where you look back over where you have been… and wonder who you really are.

  

  With every moment we share, every smile, every touch, I become more certain that in you, I’ve found something I’ve looked for a very long time. I don’t know what the future holds, but I do know how much your love excites me and how happy I feel when I’m with you. And, from this day forward, that’s more than enough.

  

  Always take comfort in knowing that you are independent enough, that you don’t need to rely on anyone else for your own happiness.

  

  There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul and to me, this has always been enough.

  

  Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen.

  

  Sometimes a break from your routine is the very thing you need.

  

  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 are not worthless. As a human being who walks this earth, you are inherently worthy- worthy of love and kindness, worthy of compassion and forgiveness, worthy or respect and acceptance, and worthy of being happy. You exist and therefore you’re important and you matter. You have just as much worth as every other human being on the plant. So why do you see yourself as an exception? What about you is so awful and intrinsically wrong that would warrant having no worth? Whatever qualities you possess, mistakes you’ve made, or things you’ve done that you feel make you worthless, try to imagine that someone you love and care about made those same mistakes and had those same qualities. Would you judge them as harshly as you judge yourself? If they had the same things about them that you see in yourself as inherently bad, would you think they’re worthless too? Chances are, you wouldn’t. You would recognize that the people you love are more than their mistakes and you wouldn’t allow the things they’ve done in the past to discount their worth. So why do you hold yourself to a different standard? Despite what you feel, you are not an exception. You deserve the same kindness and compassion and forgiveness you would give to someone you love. No one is perfect. We all make mistakes and mess up and hurt the people we love. But that doesn’t make s inadequate or worthless- it makes us human. You’re doing the best you can each day to cope and survive, and that’s all you can ask of yourself. It’s enough, and so are you.

  

  It’s up to you to find beauty in the ugliest days. Don’t you waste your life waiting for it to change. Just put on your dancing shoes and dance those cares away. If I’m The Sound Of Music, you’re The Science of Sleep. Cause I’m obviously, and you’re obviously, too young to care, too bold to love. Too naive to notice that sometimes all you need is some love to get by, to be alright, even when the world’s falling off it’s axis. I need a new love, someone to help me home when I’m drunk and can’t stand up. Someone to tell me wrong from right, so I won’t screw it up again. Maybe we could wait til the sunset sank, and devise a new plan to start over again.

  

  There are days when everything seems wrong, when little things hurt you for no good reason. And then there are days, when the world just sings to you, from the minutes you open your eyes to the minute you shut them again at night.

  

  I wonder how you react when my name comes up in conversation.

  

  Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. Never pity yourself. Be hard on yourself – and be lenient to everybody else.

  

  The thing about pain is, it teaches you humility.

  

  Don’t you think it’s better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it, than to be just okay for your whole life?

  

  I’m afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.

  

  When you start to see people change, you start to wonder if they were like this in the beginning, and if you just never noticed it. But don’t forget you once loved who they were before. Don’t take it out on them for changing, because nobody stays the same. We all grow and we all change.

  

  Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving.

  

  If a girl understands your bullshit, sticks through your mistakes, smiles even when you’ve done nothing for her, it’s obvious she’s a keeper. But it’s also obvious you don’t deserve her.

  

  Nobody gives you a chance, you’ve got to take chances.

  

  I drink coffee like water and I still never know what to say. I still don’t know how to get out of bed half the time. It’s not pretty or endearing. I whisper you secrets, I’m still looking to be saved, sometimes I am so weak, sometimes I am so strong, here you go, I’ll give you everything for one more chance. My heart is ugly, but it could be all yours.

  

  You can’t judge my choices without knowing my reasons.

  

  It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living, I want to know what you ache for. It doesn’t interest me how old you are, I want to know if you are willing to risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive. I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine. It doesn’t interest me where you live or how rich you are, I want to know if you can get up after a night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and be sweet to the ones you love. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and truly like the company you keep in the empty moments of your life. 

  

  Every time you are able to find some humor in a difficult situation, you win.

  

  I look at you and I see my best friend. Your energy and your passion inspire me in ways I never thought possible. Your inner beauty is so strong, that I no longer fear being myself. I no longer fear at all. I never thought that I could find someone to love that would love me back unconditionally. Then I realized, you were always with me, and you were my soul mate. You give me purpose, when I feel I have none. Without you, my soul would be empty. My heart, broken. My being, incomplete. I thank God every day that you were brought into my life. And I thank you for loving me.
