| You aren’t crazy, you’re just lonely, and loneliness is one hell of a drug.
I want to read you inside out, know what your next thoughts and actions are before anybody else does.
I don't want to share you with anyone else. I want to keep you in my pocket, for as long as I can.
This is happiness; to be dissolved in something great and complete.
I felt you in my legs before i even met you,
and when i laid beside you for the firs time i told you,
‘i feel you in my heart and i don’t even know you.’
now, we’re saying bye. I felt you in my life before i even thought to.
“well, in five years time we could be walking around a zoo with the sun shining down on me and you,
and there’ll be love in the bodies of the elephants too, and i’ll put my hands over your eyes
but you’ll peep through. and, there’ll be sun all over our bodies, and sun all down our necks,
and sun all over our faces.”
-noah & the whale
it is easy to take off all your clothes and have sex, people do it all the time. but,
opening up your soul to someone, letting them into your spirit, thoughts, fears,
future, hopes, and dreams... that’s being naked.
-rob bell
we delight in the beauty of the butterfly,
but rarely admit the change it had to go trough
in order to achieve that beauty.
that’s the problem with loving a wild thing, you’re always left watching the door.
-edith pattou
to look in the face of hard things, and keeping moving on--that’s what one has to do.
-anna godbersen
Took me in and you drove me out
Yeah, you had me hypnotized
Lost and found and turned around
By the fire in your eyes
Sometimes there doesn't even have to be a reason.
I knew from experience that no matter how much you turn things in your head,
trying to make sense of them, some people just defy all logic.
Who you are is who you are. We're liars. We're thieves. We're addicts.
We take our happiness for granted until we hurt ourselves or someone else.
We hold grudges. And when faced with our mistakes, we reinvent the past.
We reinvent ourselves. At least we try. We're prideful, and we're lustful,
and we're incredibly flawed. And eventually, our flaws catch up to us.
Learn from your past, move on, grow stronger. People are fake,
but let your trust last longer. Do what you got to do,
but always stay true, and never let anyone get the best of you.
Sometimes I’m terrified of my heart, of its constant hunger for
whatever it is it wants, the way it stops and starts.
Stop falling. Stop listening. Stop texting back. Stop worrying.
Stop getting your hopes up. Stop telling yourself that this is different.
You've heard this story time and time before and you know how it ends.
He's playing that game you keep losing.
Breakdowns are breakthroughs. It takes hitting the bottom to find your way back to the top.
Honestly I don’t need someone that sees the good in me.
I need someone who sees the bad, and still wants me.
I'd give him another chance, since I never really gave up.
It seemed like I moved on, but all I did was pick myself up and tried being happy.
If you have to know, you were always at the top of my heart.
Do you miss him at the most happy and fulfilling times of your life?
Just because you miss him when the world is quiet and you feel alone,
doesn't mean you love him. You will miss anyone when you’re lonely.
It’s when your life is going great and you still feel that ache in your heart
because he isn’t there to see the genuine smile on your face, and happiness in your life.
I wish I didn't miss you, because then I'd be over you. What is holding me on to you?
It’s very easy to confuse a physical attraction with a real connection.
You can tell by the kiss. You know, the other stuff, the sex, if he’s handsome or not,
doesn’t matter. All that matters is the kiss.

| There's nothing wrong with you. There's a lot wrong with the world you live in
There are too many tricks in this life. If you don't want to be played, you must learn how to play them
But they're just afraid of something they can't understand.
Oh, but little darlin' watch me change their minds.
Yeah, for you I'll try. I'll pick up these broken pieces
'til I'm bleeding if that'll make you mine.
I hate not knowing. It seems like everything these days is uncertain.
Because you're young, you're torn between a world of hate and a world of dreams.
So much to lose, so much to gain, so much to fight for, so much to change.
You know you're in love when you want to tell everyone about it, even when they haven't asked.
When people can walk away from you, let them walk don't try to talk another
person into staying with you, loving you, caring for you, or staying attached to you.
When people can walk away, let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
The way he says my name paints a smile across my face. I admit it, I'm crazy about the kid.
He kissed me. He really put his arms around me, and kissed me.
It went through my body like it had flipped some electrical switch, and lit me up.
His skin was so warm, and he suddenly was so beautiful.
And I finally realized what all the hype was about.
Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, change - this is the rhythm of living.
Sometimes it’s hard to say no when you really mean yes,
it’s hard to close your eyes when you really want to see,
it’s hard to forget when you really can’t and the hardest
is to go when you really want to stay.
Some days the whole world seems upside down. And then somehow,
and improbably, and when you least expect it, the world rights itself again.
If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you've made me smile,
the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand.
"Darling," you said, "We're a train wreck."
"Sweetheart," I said, "Train wrecks always make the front page."
No matter how careful you are, there's going to be the sense you missed something,
the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn't experience it all.
There's that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments
where you should've been paying attention. Well, get used to that feeling.
That's how your whole life will feel some day. This is all practice.
- Chuck Palahniuk
It's always the people who don't talk about their problems that have the worst problems.
For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be.
There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same,
there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it.
I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you.
I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view.
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. - F. Scott Fitzgerald
No matter how strong a girl is,she has a weak point and sometimes
all she needs is a hug and someone to tell her its alright.
You have the right to leave someone. But tell them why,
because nothing is more painful than knowing you're not worth an explanation.
It may be a lot less painful to not care and put no effort in certain things.
But caring and pain is what shapes us for the rest of our life.
So while it may be easier on the short term not to care,
for the long term you'll look back on those memories and tears and
realize that's what got you to who you are today.
There's always going to be bad stuff out there. But here's the amazing thing
-- light trumps darkness, every time. You stick a candle into the dark,
but you can't stick the dark into the light. - Jodi Picoult
I always think of you before I fall asleep. The words you said, the way you looked.
The things we laughed about, the silent moments we shared.
And when I dream, I'll dream of you. Because it's about you, it's always about you.
Deep down you know it's best for yourself , but you hate the thought of him being with someone else.
If you try anything, if you try to lose weight, or to improve yourself, or to love,
or to make the world a better place, you have already achieved something wonderful,
before you even begin. Forget failure. If things don't work out the way you want,
hold your head up high and be proud. And try again. And again. And again.
- Sarah Dessen
There are so many fragile things, after all.
People break so easily, and so do dreams and hearts
You can never really know someone completely.
That’s why it’s the most terrifying thing in the world,
really—taking someone on faith, hoping they’ll take you on faith too.
It’s such a precarious balance, It’s a wonder we do it at all.
Don't tell me I've changed when in reality, I've just stopped living life your way.
Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you,
because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.
Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.
If you asked most people whether they believed in love or not, they’d probably say they didn’t.
Yet that’s not necessarily what they truly think. It’s just the way they defend themselves against
what they want. They believe in it, but pretend they don’t until they’re allowed to.
Most people would throw away all their cynicism if they could.
The majority just never gets the chance. - Alain de Botton
I have to say that although it broke my heart,
I was, and still am, glad I was there. - Markus Zusak
I’m not sentimental—I’m as romantic as you are. The idea, you know,
is that the sentimental person thinks things will last
—the romantic person has a desperate confidence that they won’t.
Sometimes we're too into the moment to look at the bigger picture. We fail to see things
in perspective because we're too absorbed in what's taking place at that very
instant. The thing is, we should face reality. Because sometimes being
realistic can save us from pain and disappointment.
You're not my favorite mistake. You are just a simple regret.
I thought I knew who you were, but watch how fast I forget.
Sometimes you just have to finally admit that you don't deserve any of this, and leave.
Even if it's going to be the hardest thing you ever do.
what matters now won't matter soon; the truly important thing is that you are alive,
and that you have the capacity to do absolutely anything with this beautiful,
crazy coincidence of being on this earth.
And I thought that all those little kids are going to grow up someday.
And all those little kids are going to do the things that we do.
And they will all kiss someone someday. But for now, sledding is enough.
I think it would be great if sledding were always enough, but it isn’t.
- The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Memories are what warm you up from the inside.
But they're also what tear you apart. - Haruki Murakami
Sometimes you just feel everything and nothing all at once.
Sometimes you'll find yourself smiling while missing something at the same time.
At times you can absolutely love a person, all the while wanting to hate them.
Life comes without guarantees. Except that smiling will brighten your face,
laughing will enhance your eyes, and falling in love will change your life.
I figured something out. The future is unpredictable | | |

Oh, did I mention when I see you it stings like hell?
Due to the fact that we could have something that'll never happen
You know I keep putting myself out there and you keep blowing it
and it's probably a good thing because at this point there is nothing
that you can say or do that's gonna surprise me.
You don't choose who you fall in love with, you just fall. And you get this person who is all wrong,
but yet so right all at the same time. You know that you love them so much,
except sometimes they just drive you completely insane and no one can explain it.
The reason it's so confusing is because it is love, but if you didn't have any challenges,
what would be the point?
I love writing, I love opinions and quotes and expressions.
It's so beautiful to know that you're not alone in this messed up world.
It's relieving to know that someone else feels the same way you do.
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 then
nothing at all, but the truth is; to have it halfway is harder
than not having it at all.
I'm ready to be the girl I used to be. The one that never cried,
the one that didn't get mad at stupid little things and the one
that didn't sit around and worry about love.
Ask me why I keep on loving you when it's clear
that you don't feel the same for me. The problem is that as
much as I can't force you to love me, I can't force myself
to stop loving you.
i wear my heart on my sleeve, but i am not naive.
i know what it feels like to be completely broken,
and i am all too familiar with what it feels like to be hurt.
i know what it's like to see something funny and not laugh.
i've been taken advantage of, used, and abused.
my feelings have been blatantly disregarded.
but i still believe that all people are good at heart.
and my trust in people has not diminished.
to be honest, i hope it never does. ever.
Maybe we're too young and I don't even know what's real.
But I know I've never wanted anything so bad. I've never wanted anyone so bad.
I’ve spent a lot of time being miserable. It’s like misery is an old friend,
and it tricks you sometimes into thinking that it’s just always going to
be there and that you can’t be happy. But you can. You can walk away from pain.
Well hey, you're the only thing
I wouldn't change in this place.
It's strange to say you're the
only angel I ever gave away.
-The Hush Sound
That's what you do when you care about someone. You fight like hell to make sure
you keep them. Even if they aren't yours. You fight just to know you're alive.
Because you know that without them, you'd have no reason to breathe.
Hitting walls and gettings scars only makes you who you are.
No matter how much your heart is aching, there's always
beauty in the breaking.
& when i thought you liked me, everything in my life just fell into place,
but now no matter how hard i keep it together, when you walk into the room i crumble.
When you scream and shout and say you can't do it.
Just throw your headphones on and lose yourself in the music.
Even in the darkest clouds, there's a silver lining. The
world may turn from the sun, but it never stops shining.
I don’t care what people say, the rush is worth the
price I pay. I get so high when you’re with me, but
crash and crave you when you are away. | | |

Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a darkday seem bright.
I don't trust you cause every time you're here, your intentions are unclear.
I spend every hour waiting for a phone call that I know will never come.
I used to think you were the one, now I'm sick of thinking anything at all.
And the only true thing anymore is the delay between your head and your heart.
For once it's saying go and the other is saying no.
We fight and we struggle to make sense out of nothing,
it's the greatest flaw of all.
i'm so tired of dancing around these big words.. i just want to be honest with you.
more than anything i want to be honest with you. but, do you think we're ready for that honesty?
because honesty is a big word and it changes things, and it complicates things.
are you sure you're ready for everything that goes along with the truth?
I'll be here when you're done,
I've always told you that.
But in the middle, no one ever needs me.
You told me once but now I finally see,
I'm pushing my own luck.
you've got to realize that everybody bleeds, and that everybody hurts.
everybody laughs, and everybody smiles. that's what it's all about. that's all it is.
there is no set meaning of life, there is nothing that can be defined, or written.
it's a matter of sculpting your very own definition.
It's not about waiting for the storm to pass,it's about screaming
with the thunder, running with the lightning, and learning to dance in the rain.
part of me wanted to confront him and demand to know everything.
while i was lying in my bed, i had imagined what i would say.
but i knew myself too well to think i would really have the guts to do it.
It's like every time something actually goes right in my life, someone somewhere says,
"Oh, she looks happy. Lets fuck up her life a little more."
I feel that sometimes, nobody's ever held me down & forced me to cry or made me hug them,
or got to the inside of me. It's like I say, "Oh I'm fine", and I walk away,
and nobody has ever said "No you're not".
Anyway, what did it mean, really? What did it necessarily have to mean?
Her impulse was always the same: to protect the past. To shield the future.
To keep things the same if she could.
I don't have a fear of commitment. I have a fear of abandonment. We all screw things up.
I screw things up, especially with people I love. I get needy, I get moody,
I get distant, I want to be close, I get confused. I don't understand all of it,
but I keep pushing because I hope this thing, this universe, there's no way that
I'm the only person out there who wants something this bad,
if I want it, someone else out there must too.
If it comes down to nothing, I'll thank myself.
My own spine stands while my body withers to nothing.
There are so many words I could use to rephrase this,
but nothing stings more than the thought of deterioration.
Unsaid business floats around forever, and if you ever feel a shortness of breath
but you cant put your finger on it its that lie you told to make
yourself seem like the good human you aren't.
"For all you know its a simple game you play
filling up your head with rain
and you know you've been hiding from your pain,
in the way, in the way you say my name."
"Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows
your soul room to grow. Never expect to outgrow loneliness. Never hope to find
people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. And intelligent,
sensitive person is the exception, the very great exception. If you expect to find
people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment.
The best you’ll ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want."
— White Oleander
So I take pleasure in the details.
The sky about ten minutes before it starts to rain,
the moment where your laughter breaks.
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
There's no need to rush. If something's meant to be, it'll happen.
In the right time, with the right person, and for the best reason.-Wiz
We have voices and stories and plans and dreams and ideas.
We have hopes. We will wake up tomorrow to a day that had never been known.
We are living a life that has never been lived. We are here for a reason.
We exist to love and be loved. Life comes back. Things do change. Storms do pass.
We can walk if you'd like or spin in circles, I don't care.
Either way I'm in love with where we're going. | | |
