some things just arent meant to last.
they take up a little space in your heart
and leave you a little smarter for next time.

i know ya miss her, but yaa dissed her
she was ya everything and now he's with herr

bet you thought i'd break but it aint that easy
bet you thought i'd need you a million times
before you needed me

it took so long just to feel alright
remember how to put the light back in my eyes
i wish i would have missed the first time we kissed,
cause you broke all of your promises.

you're not easy to love, why is everything with you so complicated
why do you make it so hard to love you while i hate it
cause if you really wanna be alone then i'll throw my hands up
cause baby i tried..

well i know your full, full of good intentions
but that dont mean a thing cause im already out of here

but there is a cold breeze blowin over me, im over you
success is the best revenge to payback
and that payment is overdue, i came over odds to get even

nothing to lose but everything to gain
reflecting on how things could have been
im happier now, it was worth it in the end

sleep now baby, cause when you wake up it'll be the same
you'll realize nothing has changed

so head is saying fool forget him,
but my heart is saying dont let go

not only did i walk away,
but i never looked back around for one last look.

every second gives you a chance to turn it all around
and every second is a chance for it all to be taken away

stress em? never that
i dead em, forget em, & act like i never met em

if you dont care, why should i?
time moves fast and baby so do i

anyone can give up, its the easiest thing in the world to do
but to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you would fall apart..
that's true strength.

you never think the last time is really the last time..
you always think there will be more..
you think you have forever, but you don't.

surround yourself only with people who will lift you higher.

so at the most, we may play the silent game
or catch eachother's eyes again
but that's where it ends
because im gone.

Because for some reason every teenager is breaking something.
Walls, arms, phones, and hearts.
So maybe that's why this is the hardest time of our life,
because we're never quite whole.

If you don't fight for something you want
It's not because you're weak, or because somebody's holding you back.
It's the simple fact that you don't want it bad enough.

"Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons."
- Michael Jackson

you can act like you dont care and play little pretty games
but as the tables are turned and the games on you dont be pissed at me,
be pissed at yourself for letting a girl outsmart your foolish little games.

Little miss ill take less when I always give so much more.
It's alright. It's alright. It's alright.
Yeah sometimes you gotta lose until you win

If you want to know where your heart is; look where your mind wanders.

if you're going to do something wrong,
do it big, because the punishment
is the same either way
-JAYNE MANSFIED

If you care about something enough, it’s going to make you cry.
But you have to use it. Use your tears. Use your pain
Use your fear. Get mad.
-Sherman Alexie

 
We should all start to live before we get too old.
Fear is stupid. So are regrets.
-Marilyn Monroe

 
I thought, perhaps you might have had something to say,
but I see we are nothing to each other. If you're quite convinced
that any foolish passion on my part is entirely over,
I will wish you good afternoon.
-Elizabeth Gaskell

the wrong people always look so right to me
-andy warhol

 
"There is only one page left to write on. I will fill it with words
of only one syllable. I love. I have loved. I will love."
--Audrey Niffenegger (The Time Traveler’s Wife)

 
holding on to someone is not always the same as keeping them close
-I Am Not Myself These Days

 
Do not follow where the path may lead.
Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

 
"There are some people who meet that somebody that they can never stop loving, no matter how hard they try. I wouldn’t expect you to understand that or even believe it, but trust me, there are some loves that don’t go away. And maybe that makes them crazy, but we all should be lucky enough to end up with somebody who has a little of that insanity, someone who never lets go, someone who cherishes you forever."
-Ally McBeal

 
Your destiny is not tied to the people who walked away.
-Joel Osteen

 
It’s often said that no matter the truth, people will see what they want to see. Some people might take a step back and find out they were looking at the same big picture all along. Some people might see that their lies have almost caught up to them. Some people may see what was there all along. And then there are those other people, the ones that run as far away as they can so they don’t have to look at themselves.
-Gossip Girl

 
it's crazy, right? to love someone who's hurt you?
it's crazier to think that someone who hurts you loves you.
-jodi picoult.

 
Now I do as I please and lie through my teeth
Someone might get hurt, but it won’t be me

 
"The friend who holds your hand and says the wrong thing
is made of dearer stuff than the one who stays away."
— Barbara Kingsolver

 
"I think I love him, but I also think that you can love people who aren't good for you."
— Augusten Burroughs (Dry: A Memoir)

 
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.
-Alice Hoffman, Blue Diary

 
i learned too late that to leave it not the same as
being left but for some reason it feels the same
-playground; jennifer saginor

 
"i read somewhere that if you think you're going to cry, you can recite the color of things to make it stop. green tree. red windmill. blue sky. blue jeans. blue eyes. i wanted to tell him. i wanted to tell him all of it, but that was crazy, wasn't it? i mean, i just met him. so what did i do? i asked him to tell me something. the amazing thing was that he did and when he looked at me, i felt not the rush of yesterday, when it seemed like the whole world was awake and alive and singing, but something else. something big and profound and bottomless. something that answered another question, one that i wasn't even aware that i had asked. standing there next to an overgrown mini-golf course in the middle of the woods in North Carolina, i heard an answer. and that answer was yes."

 
"The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead."
-Marilyn Monroe

 
"She’s a pretty typical teenager. Angry, insecure, confused.
I wish I could tell her that’s all going to pass,
but I don’t want to lie to her."
-American Beauty

 
"People keep telling me that I fall in love too easily- that I should protect my heart, that I shouldn’t wear my heart on my sleeve…I fall in love at least 20 times a day. I fall in love with the sky and the sun and the flowers and my children. I fall in love with smiles, with music on the radio and with french fries and Dr. Pepper. I fall in love with the sound of laughter, blue jeans, accents… Sometimes I fall in love with complete strangers, especially the ones holding hands and kissing in public. The ones who aren’t afraid to be in love with the idea of being in love either….I don’t mind the pain of unrequited love so much, because I think they’re wrong. Love looks good on me."
-Natalie Anne Erlanson

 
if you don't know what you want,
you end up with a lot you don't

There are all kinds of love in the world, but never the same love twice."
-F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Sensible Thing

 
This is exactly what I wanted, as commitments
had never really been my thing. And it wasn’t like it was hard, either.
The only trick was never giving more than you were willing to lose.
~ Sarah Dessen

 
there were things I wanted to tell him
but i knew they would hurt him
so I burried them and let them hurt me
- Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

He and I had something beautiful
But so dysfunctional, it couldn’t last
(A Fine Frenzy)

 
After he left, I cried for a week. And then I realized I do have faith:
faith in myself, faith that I would one day meet someone
who would be sure that I was the one.
-Sex & the City

 
To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.
-C.S. Lewis

 
You get a little moody sometimes but I think that’s
because you like to read. People that like to read
are always a little fucked up."
-Pat Conroy

 
"i know i should proabably hurt so bad, but i can't feel a thing.
i know i should probably say something but i can barely breathe.
i'm sorry if i'm giving up too easily."

 
I had to learn the hard way that some people
walk into our lives and physically walk out…
but they never really leave.
— Arminda Meer

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.
-Away From Her

 
"i hope you live a life you're proud of. if you find that you're not,
i hope you have the strength to start all over again."
-The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

 
I've learned a lot this year.. I learned that things don't always turn our the way you planned, or the way you think they should. And I've learned that there are things that go wrong that don't always get fixed or get put back together the way they were before. I've learned that some broken things stay broken, and I've learned that you can get through bad times and keep looking for better ones, as long as you have people who love you.
— Jennifer Weiner (Good in Bed)

 
You don't need a reason to forgive...
If you want to go on with someone, that is what you do.
— Melissa Bank

 
Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you;
you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.
-Bob Marley

  
He loved her, of course, but better than that, he chose her, day after day. Choice: that was the thing.
- Sherman Alexie

 
It is best to love wisely, no doubt; but to love foolishly is better than not to be able to love at all.
– William Makepeace Thackeray

  
No, you are not worthy of the love which I have devoted to you. I knew all along that the prize I had set my life on was not worth the winning; that I was a fool, with fond fancies, too, bartering away my all of truth and ardour against your little feeble remnant of love. I will bargain no more: I withdraw.
– Vanity fair by William Makepeace Thackeray

“Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.”

"Sometimes it seems like you are the only one in the world who's struggling, who's frustrated, unsatisfied, barely getting by. But that feeling's a lie. And if you just hold on, just find the courage to face it all for another day, someone or something will find you and make it all okay. Because we all need a little help sometimes-someone to helps us hear the music in their world, to remind us that it won't always be this way. That someone is out there. And that someone will find you."
-onetreehill


"But we will not go quickly, no we will not die so easily.
Somehow I knew that this would happen, it always does.
And I knew I couldn't help my reaction, so I let it come. I let it come."

I see your face in my mind as I drive away,
Cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way.
People are people,
And sometimes we change our minds.
But it's killing me to see you go after all this time.

I am a dreamer and when I wake,
You can't break my spirit, it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be

"why does everybody lie?
you know, the bad guys lie to get in your bed,
and the good guys lie to get into your heart."
-onetreehill

along the way, i’ve learned that you can’t let anyone in
too far and you can’t trust endlessly. the biggest mistake
you can make is to care or love someone more than yourself,
because then you are just setting yourself up for disappointment.
boundaries are necessary so that you can protect yourself,
because once you’re broken, you’ll never be fully fixed.

People figure I crossed the line.
The truth is, there is no line.
There's only your life, how you mess it up,
and who's there to save you or who isn't.

because i need something more. i know you all have your messy love lives and your secrets and your silliness, but i want more. i need something to hold on to.
-grey's anatomy

I usually don't like thinking about the future. I mean, let's face it, you can't predict what's going to happen. But sometimes, the hting you didn't expect is what you really wanted after all. Maybe the best thing to do is just stop trying to figure out where your going, and enjoy where your at.
-Scrubs

Now just beacuse you deserve this doesn't mean they're going to give it to you. Sometimes you have to take what's yours.
-Coach Carter

Human nature is to search for answers. Sometimes the one you get is the one you least expect, but the important thing is to never stop searching.
-Scrubs

if you look for the worst in people, and expect to find it, you surely will.
-Abraham Lincoln

You find a glimmer of happiness in this world, and there’s always someone who wants to destroy it.
- Finding Neverland

once in a lifetime, you meet a person who takes your breath away. not because you want them to, but because they`re meant to.

life isnt about who you love & who you hurt. its about keeping your trust. its about what you say & what you mean. its about judgements you pass & why, its about jealousy, fear, & revenge. but most of all, its about using your life to touch or poison other peoples hearts in a way that couldve never occured alone.

say what you want to say when you have the feeling & the chance. tomorrow may be a day too late. our deepest regret may be the things we didnt do, the opportunities we missed, & the things we left unsaid.

this isnt a perfect world. people get hurt. you smile when you feel like crying. you act like youre okay when youre falling apart, but you have to let go & move on cause theres nothing else you can do.

you just have to go after what you want. If it doesn`t want you back than so be it. It doesn’t deserve you anyways.
-nicole richie

Hate isn't the opposite of love. Indifference is the opposite of love. Because if you hate, you still care.

you cant live your life for other people. you've got to do whats right for you, even if it hurts some people you love
-the notebook

unless it's mad, passionate, extraordinary love- it's a waste of time. there are too many mediocre things in life, and love shouldn't be one of them.

A person doesn't always get what she deserves. Remember it. If there's anything in life you want, go and get it. Don't wait for anybody to give it to you.
-peyton place

If you say you miss someone, and you had the chance to contact them and chose not to...then it's your own fault. Don’t say it - do something about it.

just because somebody loves you, doesn't mean they won't hurt you. because people lie, things change. boyfriends cheat, friends ditch. and there are always going to be those people who would kill to see you fall.

too many people go through life running
from something that isn't after them.

You ever look a picture of yourself, and see a stranger in the background?. It makes you wonder how many strangers have pictures of you. How many moments of other peoples life have we been in. Were we a part of someone's life when their dream came true or were we there when their dream died. Did we keep trying to get in? As if we were somehow destined to be there or did the shot take us by surprise. Just think, you could be a big part of someone elses life, and not even know it.
-One Tree Hill

There are only two absolutes in life, Vodka and friends.
and the best of times, usually invovles them both.

I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you...to make each day count.
-Titanic

Life changes. You get it all lined up just the way you like it and then something beyond your control comes along and bumps you off center. How nice it would be if you could get everything just the way you want it and say, 'Okay, now, stay.' But nothing stays the same. You grow up, make friends, lose friends, go to college, lose track of people, meet new ones, and sometimes you ask yourself why. But all I can tell you is the every single experience you go through like this changed you in some way. Every new person who comes into your life changes you. Every moral dilemma or emotional experience you come up against changes you. It's your job to decide how. That's how character is developed.

I don't believe that old cliche, "good things come to those who wait." I believe that good things come to those who want something so bad they can't sit still.
- Ashton Kutcher

someday, someone is going to walk into your life & make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else.

Dealing with backstabbers, there was one thing I learned. They're only powerful when you got your back turned.
-Eminem

You know, some people say life is short and that you could get hit by a bus at any moment, and that you have to live each day like it's your last. Bullshit. Life is long. You're probably not going to get hit by a bus, and you're gonna have to live with the choices you make for the next fifty years.
-I Think I Love My Wife

I was taught that when you have something good, what you're supposed to do is hang on to it. You know? You hang on to it with both hands. And if someone tries to take it from you, what you do is make sure they pry it from your cold, dead fingers.
-the oc

Do whatever makes you happy cause in the end, you`re the only one who`s guaranteed to be there.

There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment you must choose your direction. Will you fight to stay on the path while others tell you who you are? Or will you label yourself? Will you be honored by your choice? Or will you embrace your new path? Each morning you choose to move forward or to simply give up.
-One Tree Hill

As you go through life you'll see there is so much more that we dont understand & the only thing we know is things dont always go the way we planned
-The Lion King

The only people you need in your life
are the ones that need you in theirs.

Growing up sucks. And not all kisses are magic. And most boys do not live up to your expectations. But there are those times when everything - I mean love, romance, relationships - It all falls together perfectly and it's incredible. It's those moments, no matter how depressingly few and far between, that make growing up worth it.

Ther is no mistaking love. You feel it in your heart. Love really is everything it's cracked up to be. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And, the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.

Sometimes we put up walls. Not to keep people out,
but to see who cares enough to knock them down.

A lot of people are afriad to ask for what they want. Thats why a lot of people never get what they want.
-Madonna

sometimes you just need to cry and be sad. you need to break down and be torn apart. you need to learn how to pick yourself up and put yourself back together. sometimes, the only way to be happy is to give into sadness first. cause without sadness, there is no happiness, you would never learn to smile.

A heart is a fragile thing. That’s why we protect them so vigorously, give them away so rarely and why it means so much when we do. Some hearts are more fragile than others. Purer, somehow. Like crystal in a world of glass, even the way they shatter is beautiful.
-Everwood

Sometimes you just need someone. Someone to make you smile when you're sad, someone to tell you you're beautiful, someone to look forward to seeing you everyday. Someone to call you every night, someone to say I love you and mean it. Sometimes you just need someone.

Maybe that's just growing up. When you're young, you tell yourself things like, 'Well if it didn't work out, it wasn't meant to be,' as if that actually meant something just because it sounds like it does. I think you can say something like that so blithely because you expect to stumble onto something else just as wonderful just around the next bend in the road. But people are rare, unique things and just because everyone really does live a life full of farewells doesn't mean you shouldn't at least realize what it really means to say goodbye to something that meant everything. Just because you will survive and get over it doesn't mean you should let it go.
-Adam Duritz

 I don't believe in the word "regret" I believe in the phrase 'you fucked up and now you learned from it'

so you wanna be perfect? -well let me tell you something about perfection. perfect people always smile. perfect people dont step in dog doo. perfect people never have their cars brake down. perfect people find a perfect husband or wife and live happily in perfection. they never get stains on their clothing.they have never done anything embarrassing. they have perfect grades and perfect friends and perfect jobs. they end up in perfect houses surrounded by perfect white picket fences. perfect people dont make mistakes. perfect people never learn from pain and cry. perfect people dont take the risks that are worth taking. perfect people never experience the feelings you have when you're in love, when you've been scraped, when you've been heartbroken. well, it sounds like the perfect life is the worst because perfect people never lived.

People said I've changed so much Well, here's the truth: I grew up. I stopped letting people push me around. I learned that you can't always be happy. I accepted reality.

i don't know why we all hang onto something we know we're better off letting go. it's like we're scared to lose what we don't even really have. some of us say we'd rather have that something than nothing at all, but the truth is... to have it halfway is harder than not having it at all.

if you can't laugh at yourself, life is going to seem a whole lot longer than you'd like.
- garden state

maybe we are meant to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift. maybe it is true that we don't know what we have until we lose it, but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives. giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. the happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

it's hard to wait around for something that you know won't ever happen. but it's a million times harder to stop when that thing is everything you want.

too often we're scared, scared of what we might not be able to do, scared of what people might think if we tried. we let fears stand in the way of our hopes. we say no when we want to say yes. we sit quietly when we want to scream & we shout with the others when we should keep our mouths shut. why? after all, we do only go around once. theres really no time to be afraid. just do it.

listen, kid, love is the only chance for happiness you'll ever get in this life, and if you're going to let a little thing like rejection stand in your way, baby, you might as well stay right there on the ground, because people are going to be walking over you for the rest of your life.
-2 Stupid Dogs

One of the worst feelings in the world is having to doubt something you thought was unquestionable.

love. easy word to spell. easy word to say. most people throw around the word "love" like it's nothing. but it's definitely something. it's that "i can live without you, i just don't want to" kind of feeling that you get when you see that special someone. it's more than romance, more than the exchange of sweet words. it's the feeling of holding hands, soft kisses on the cheek, knowing that no matter what you're going through in life, no matter how you're feeling, that special someone will always be there to brighten your day, to know how to make you smile in their own special way. don't throw the word love around like it's nothing, because it's everything. never tell someone you love them when you don't. wait for that special someone, the one person that makes love what it is.

you can't start over. there's no such thing as starting over. there's only history. and right now you're making tomorrow's history, so go out and do something that will be fun to remember.
- girls' poker night

whoever said "what you dont know cant hurt you." is a complete and total moron. cause for most people i know, not knowing - is the worst feeling in the world.

There are moments... moments that in a split second your life changes forever, and before you know it... you're somewhere else.

It's not hard. It's painful. But it's not hard. You know what to do already. If you didn't, you wouldn't be in so much pain.
-greys anatomy

you got a dream, you gotta protect it. people can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you that you can't do it. you want something? go get it. period.
-pursuit of happyness

If you're convinced that you're not good enough. You'll have a hard time accepting someone into your life who thinks you are.

This life... is what you make it. No matter what you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is, you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come & go too. & babe, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them Are going to break your heart. but you can't give up because if you give up, You'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole. & that goes for everything; Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, & always, always, always believe in yourself. Because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So. Keep your head high. Keep your chin up. & most importantly, keep smiling. Because life's a beautiful thing & there's so much to smile about.
-Marilyn Monroe

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
-Thomas Edison

i don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but i can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.
- the OC

so far i've learned that everyday of your life must be lived to the fullest, life is about smiling, laughing, and crying, life is about making the most of what you have and what your given, it's about keeping relationships and losing them, life is about falling in love and losing someone you do love, life was given to us as a challenge, and it's not easy, but you have to try and meet that challenge and make the most of it while you can because you don't actually know when it will be your turn to lay down to rest, you only have one shot at life, so make sure you take it with both hands and squeeze every little drop out of it you can

People have scars. In all sorts of unexpected places. Like secret roadmaps of their personal histories. Diagrams of all their old wounds. Most of our wounds heal, leaving nothing behind but a scar. But some of them don't. Some wounds we carry with us everywhere and though the cut's long gone, the pain still lingers.

Friendship isn't being inseperable, it's being seperated and knowing nothing will change.

Experience is a hard teacher. It gives you the test first and the lesson later

the friends who grew up with you deserve a special respect. The ones who stuck by you, shoulder to shoulder, in a time where nothing was certain, all life lay ahead & every road lead home
-the wonder years

to have memories of those you have loved and lost is perhaps harder than to have no memories at all.
-van helsing

And no relationship is perfect, ever. There are some ways you have yo 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.
-Sarah Dessen

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'll never experience it again,
afraid you've already lived it and already lost it.

There are things that you don't want to happen, but you have to accept. There are things that you don't want to know, but you have to learn. And there are people you can't live without, but you have to let go.

you're going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times. but in the end, it's always their actions you should judge them by. it's actions, not words, that matter.

Loved is not a word. There is no past tence of love. You either always love somebody or you never did.

sometimes you need to walk alone,
just to show that you can.

See, that's the thing about second chances. It's two people that are there for each other and support each other and care about each other no matter how much they want to deny it. It's about one person doing everything they can to make sure the other doesn't fall and vice-versa. Second chances are about holding on to that other person's hand no matter how hard they to beg to let go.

if there's one thing i've learned in life it's that you'll fall in love with the most unexpected people at the most unexpected times

When I was in grade school, they told me to write down what I wanted to be when I was grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life.

There's gonna be stuff that you're gonna see that makes it hard to smile in the future but through whatever you see you gotta keep a sense of humor; you gotta be able to smile through all the bullshit.
- Tupac

That's the thing about jealousy; it chews at your soul, and it doesn't stop until you let go.

I was stuck. I was in this place, in between my future & my past & I wasn't sure which one I wanted more. But I guess it was only natural, you know? To dream of a summer love from long ago, or nights you spent with friends you used to know. These people had long since gone, & part of you wanted them back, & god you hated to admit it. That was the funny part. Like admitting you missed people or things or times long ago made you weak or something, but it didn’t. & sometimes I would curl up by my window & stare off into the stars, dreaming of my future, the love & friends I had yet to come. Part of me just wanted to throw myself into the future & the other part wanted me to hurl myself into my past. How was that?

& believe me, I did not want that cause I had a good life before you. Well, not good..but it was okay. Well..it was empty actually, but at least I was blissfully unaware of how miserable I was. Where as now.. cause of you..I'm acutely aware of how completely & totally unhappy I am. Thank you for that.

"You're chicken.You're afraid 'to stick out your chin& say,"OK, life's a fact. People do fall in love.People do belong to each other. Because that's the only chance anybody's got for REAL happiness.You call yourself a free spirit, a wild thing Yet youre terrified that somebody's gonna put you in a cage. Well, baby, you're already in a cage& you built it yourself."

You make me so happy… you know? But, I have to make myself happy first... and that's probably the one thing in this whole world that you can't do for me.
-dawson's creek

Cause like you said, this is it.
This is life. And I'm in love with you...
I think that's the only thing I've ever really been sure of in my entire life.
And I'm really messed up right now,
and I got a whole lot of stuff I have to work out,
but I don't want to waste any more of my life without you in it.
-Garden State

At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. So this thing, where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, is usually a load of bull. So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we've chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. No matter how much we hurt them, the people that are still with you at the end of the day - those are the ones worth keeping. And sure, sometimes close can be too close. But sometimes, that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need.

well pardon me if i intrude, you're not a perfect man in a perfect world. look at where your ignorance has brought you. and this will be buried. like the fall of rome, you will come crashing down. the truth hurts, but denial's what will kill you.

Brooke: There are 82 letters in here, and they're all addressed to you. I wrote them all this summer. One a day, but I never sent them 'cause I was afraid.
Lucas: Brooke...
Brooke: I was afraid of getting my heart broken again, like before. 'Cause you hurt me so bad, and I was afraid to be vulnerable. And I was afraid of you and the way that you make me feel. And I know that doesn't matter now after what I did, but I just thought that you should know. This was how I spent my summer, Luke, wanting you... I'm just too scared to admit it.

It has nothing to do with me. It's about you. And it is ALWAYS about you: what you need and what you want. You know, it seems you only want me when you can't have me. You like the chase, and that's all. And you know what? You can have it.

You don't drown by falling in water.
You drown by staying there.

He must’ve known I’d run out on you.
No, he must’ve known you’d always want to come back.
-JK Rowling

You know, I don’t think I’ll ever be happy.
Wherever I am, I’ll wish I’m somewhere else.
Whatever I have, I’ll want something different.

when people can walk away from you, let them walk. don't try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring for you, coming to see you, or staying attached to you. when people can walk away, let them walk. your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.

A woman is like a tea bag-you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.

what is it that you said to a kid? the world aint all sunshines & rainbows. its a very rough, mean place. & no matter how tough you think you are, it'll always bring you to your knees & keep you there permanetly, if you let it. you're nobody & you're never gonna hit as hard as life. but it aint about how hard you hit. its about how hard you can get hit & keep moving foward, how much you can take, & keep moving foward. if you know what you're worth, go out & get what you're worth. but you've got to be willing to take the hit

Joey: You have to, Pacey. You have to hear her out.
Pacey: Why? What's the difference, Joey, huh? No matter what she says the ending's still the same. She slept with somebody else.
Joey: You think that just because the two of you were together what she did hurts more? It doesn't. There's no difference, Pacey, I mean... Look, she's sixteen years old and so are you. We talk like we know what's going on, but we don't. We don't have any idea. Look, we're really young and we're gonna screw up a lot! You know, we're going to keep changing our minds and ... and sometimes even our hearts. And through all of that, the only real thing we can offer each other is forgiveness. And I couldn't do that. Or at least I did it too late. Don't let yourself get so angry that you stop loving because one day you wake up from that anger and the person you love will be gone.

Pacey: Well, because sometimes it's... it's harder to rebuild something than it is to just start from scratch.

you showed me dreams come to life that taking a chance on us was right. all things will come with a little time when you believe.

Sometimes the feelings we start to have again
are the same feelings that never really went away.

you hate me, she hates me, he hates me, they hate me, why? cause i've probably been the selfish me i love to be, and stolen someone away from you.. just as a challenge.. then i brush them to the side and never really talk to them much again. i was tired of playing helpless little girl, i was sick of having my heart broken, it was time for me to do stuff like the boys do.. lead them on & ditch them .. and whose phone never stops ringing? mine, cause i learned how to play the fucking game. but now it's all old. i want someone to be mine .. every day&every night.

sooner or later, everyone grows apart. Whether it's because they got too close, or they changed, or they simply stopped talking.Then you find people to replace the ones you grew out of touch with and they always seem to be even better untill you grow out of touch with them too. Looking back at the times you had with them makes you want to start talking to them again. But that's how things end, and sometimes you wonder, what the heck happened?

Just because something can be worse, does that make something that's terrible any better?
-Chaser

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 you overlook excuses. The measure of love is when you love without measure. There are rare chances that you'll meet the person you love and who loves you in return. So once you have it, don't let it go. The chance may never come your way again.

Change is never easy - you fight to hold on. you fight to let go.

if having things turn out the way you want them to is the measure of a successful life, then some would say i was a failure. the important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. learn to let go of the past and recognize that every day won't be silence and when you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair, remember it's only in the black of night that you can see the stars and those stars lead you back home. so don't be afraid to make mistakes, stumble and fall because most of the time, the greatest rewards come from the things that scare you most. maybe you'll get everything you wish for, maybe you'll get more than you could ever imagine. who knows where life will take you? the road is long and in the end, the journey is the destination
-one tree hill

Sometimes we escape our destiny & then realize that the destiny we escaped was the one we wanted.

The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost.
-G. K. Chesterton

I liked the days when boys were written down on paper listed on your top 5, instead of you carrying them in your heart. When you would brag about how cool your parents were, instead of talking about how they now ruin your lives. When the only reason you didn't want to get out of bed for school was because you were sleepy, & now it's because each day is a struggle. While hide & seek was the coolest game, instead of guys seeing how many girls they can go out with at one time. When you wished upon birthday candles, & now you wish on a boy who is holding your heart. The days when you were just a kid who still had their innocence, & now you're a teenager who knows everything has changed.

There's something to be said about a glass half full. About knowing when to say when. I think it's a floating line. A barometer of need and desire. It's entirely up to the individual and depends on what's being poured. Sometimes all we want is a taste. Other times there's no such thing as enough, the glass is bottomless. And all we want is more.

When you're young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun, then you grow up and learn to be cautious; you could break a bone, or a heart. You look before you leap and sometimes you don't leap at all because there's not always someone there to catch you. And in life, there is no safety net. When did it stop being fun and start being scary?

Let's say you were drafted to a team that wasn’t your first pick. You know, you don't like the players. You hate the way they play the game. You even think the quarterback is full of crap. The quarterback's a pain in the ass you don't owe a damned thing to. But, it's your team. You don't quit. You don't talk to the press. You don't bitch to the coach. You just, you just go out there every Sunday and you make the blocks and you take the hits and you, you play to win. You show up and you suit up and you play, because it's your freaking team.
-greys anatomy

So you failed. You wanna be really great? Then have the courage to fail big and stick around. Make them wonder why you're still smiling.

Trust me. I'm not lying. I do miss you deep down inside. You told me that I wouldn't lose you, yet I lost you. You told me you wanted to spend time with me, but I didn't get my chance to. Somehow I should of expected this to happen, but I didn't let it bother me. It's kind of like I wanted it to happen. You said things that no one has ever said to me and you opened my eyes to what surrounds me. You made me realize that I had a lot more than I actually thought and no one has made me feel so loved like you did. You taught me how to love. You taught me to not only love myself, but you taught me how to love others. Whether you believe it or not, I fell in love with you. It was love at first sight. Do you believe in love at first sight?

i don't feel loved. i go through each day and i don't think anybody loves me. and i know its pathetic but its the way i feel and im too young to feel this way.
-Dawson's Creek

A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying.
-Grey's Anatomy

Sometimes, it's easier for me to pretend rather than face my feelings.
Sometimes, it's easier to try to make it alone rather than risk getting hurt again.
Sometimes, it's easier to be numb towards certain people so I don't let them get too close.
Sometimes, I'm scared.
But when I act numb towards you,
It doesn't mean I don't care,
It means I care too much.
