I’ve learned this past year. I’ve changed, I’ve grown and maybe things do happen for a reason. Maybe they don’t. But no matter what, they still happen. That’s what we need to remember. I learned to stop analyzing things, to just let them happen. And if I get hurt, or if something bad happens, there’s nothing I can do to change that. I’ve learned to go with my gut, and that it’s okay to make mistakes because the ones that matter won’t care. I’ve learned that love really is as great as they say it is. I’ve learned that your friends can save you from your worst enemy: yourself. And most importantly, I’ve learned that today is all we have.

It’d be interesting to see the look on your face when you realize that it’s me you should have been with the whole time.

Be thankful for having haters. They are your biggest fans and they take time out of their lives to watch your wrong moves.

Don't you dare tell me things are different. Because the only thing that's changed is you.

I’m scared that you’re going to get tired of me.

After a while, you learn the difference between holding a hand, and falling in love. You'll learn kisses don't always mean something. Promises can be broken just as easily as they were made, and as hard as it is to believe, sometimes goodbyes are forever.

Here's a lesson for every single girl out there: Never, ever settle. You may think you aren't gorgeous, smart and have too many insecurities too count. But there is going to be someone in the world who truly loves you for you. Don't ever think that you've got to put up with some boy's shit because he's the first one in a long time to show some interest. You are all beautiful in your own individual way so never lower your standards.

Don't ever apologize for something that wasn't your fault. The right sort of person won't want your apology, and the wrong sort of person will take advantage of it.

The worst feeling is when someone makes you feel special, then suddenly leaves you hanging, and you have to act like you don’t care at all.

You can't let yourself fall for the same shit over and over. You can't allow it to trap you up, and suffocate you until you say what it wants you to say. You can't allow yourself to say yes and fall into it's arms. You need to get a grip on yourself because each time you say yes, you know for sure it's going to end up with tears on your side. You know it's a constant cycle, and it's bound to happen again. Seriously, get a grip on yourself and walk away when you still can. Because it's a monster. It can kill you. Love doesn't die, but it can kill you.

I'm just tired of finally letting people in and them leaving the second I do. I just wanna count on someone for once. Is it really too much to ask for? 

If you want to find what you’re looking for, stop looking. Life will lead you to where you need to be.

You just can't expect that an apology will make everything better. Just stop trying to blame your own mistakes on everyone but yourself. It's old and overused and everyone is catching on.

Walking away isn’t the hardest. The most difficult thing to do, is telling yourself that you can’t look back and move on.

I’ll move on but you’re going to have to go through the rest of your life knowing you turned your back on love.

Bad things are always going to happen in life. People will hurt you. But you can’t use that as an excuse to fail or to hurt someone back. You’ll only hurt yourself.

Forgive your enemies, but never forget their name.

I believe in sleeping in. I believe in giving 100% when you only have 80%. I believe in jamming out by yourself in the car. I believe in kisses on the forehead. I believe in smiling until your cheeks hurt. I believe that you can have just as much fun sober. I believe in taking chances and making mistakes. I believe in having someone tell you that you’re beautiful. I believe in swinging on swings and running in the rain. I believe in miracles and random acts of kindness. I believe in saying hello to anyone and everyone. I believe in second chances. I believe that everyone’s lucky to be alive.

Don't screw up the best thing that ever happened to you just because you're a little unsure about who you are.

The best feeling in the world is knowing you finally took a step in the right direction, a step towards the future where everything that you never thought was possible is possible.
