Albert Camus once wrote, "Blessed are the hearts that can bend; they shall never be broken." But I wonder if there's no breaking then there's no healing, and if there's no healing then there's no learning. And if there's no learning then there's no struggle. But struggle is a part of life. So must all hearts be broken?
( One Tree Hill )

you have to accept that people
are going to stay in our hearts;
even if they are out of our lives.

the most memorable people in life
will be the people who loved you
when you weren't very lovable

i want a boy who will give me his favorite sweatshirt
& he will always whisper something sweet in my ear.
even if we are a million years old,
butterflies will still go crazy inside me

We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams
come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination,
dedication, self-discipline, and effort.
++Jesse Owens

We're all damaged in our own way.
nobody's perfect. i think we are all
somewhat screwy, every single one of us.
++Johnny Depp

Sometimes we love people so
much that we have to be numb to it.
Because if we actually felt how much
we loved them, it would kill us.
That doesn't mean you're a bad person,
it just means your heart's too big.
++Riding in Cars with Boys

You’re letting her think that you’re emotionally available. You’re letting her think she has a chance. And there’s nothing worse in the world, than thinking you have a chance when really you don’t.

sometimes the hardest things to say
are the things that matter the most.

i have a habit of falling too hard,
falling too fast, and getting my hopes
up for something i know won't last.

i wasn't mad because he didn't like me,
i was jealous because he liked her.

a little jealousy is good sometimes ... its good to know someones afraid of losing you

You ever wake up from a really good dream,
and try to get back to sleep? Or you got the flu
and you promise  yourself you will appreciate
normal so much more, if  you can just get back to it?
That's the way I feel. I just  want things
to go back to the way they were.

He will always be able to play the "friend" card on you. He only has to be responsible for the expectations of a friend, rather than the far greater expectations of a boyfriend. He's got the ultimate situation: a great friend with all the benefits of a girlfriend, whom he can see or not see whenever he wants to. He may be one of your closest friends, but I'm sorry to say... as a boyfriend, he's just not that into you.
( He's Just Not That Into You by Greg Behrendt & Liz Tuccillo )

sometimes it’s tough being a girl.
If you hate a pretty girl, people will think you’re jealous
If you like an older guy, people will call you a slut.
Whenever you get into an argument with your best friend,
no one will care and say, oh, you’ll be friends tomorrow.
And when you fall for the right person,
everyone else thinks he’s wrong for you

Sing me something soft,
sad and delicate,
or loud and out of key,
sing me anything.
( Existentialism On Prom Night ; Straylight Run )

If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?
( Alice In Wonderland )

and for once, she wants to be the person to have
a secret admirer. The person to be thought of
24 hours, 7 days a week. She wants to be the
person that gets all those stupid love notes.
She wants to feel the feeling of having someone
sprung over her. And for once, just once, she
wants to be told that she’s loved by someone
who actually means it, without having to tell
them she loves them first

A dream is a wish your heart makes when you're fast asleep. In dreams you will lose your heartaches. Whatever you wish for, you keep. Have faith in your dreams, and someday, your rainbow will come smiling through. No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dreams that you wish will come true.
( Cinderella )

At least three weaks of bottled up tears came pouring out last night. My head pounded & my eyes hurt. It wasn`t like I needed to cry for three weeks; I have actually been happy for awhile, but everything just built up too high & caused me to crash again - just when I was starting to do so good.

I don't want someone who'll be nice to me 24/7. I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't want the guy to be an idiot either. But I want him to be real. I want him to make fun of me so I can make fun of him back. I want us to fight so we can recognise and enjoy the good times. I just really want someone who'll cut the bullshit and love me for me.

All I want is one person.
One person to hold me down &
force me to say how I really feel.
One person to really care about
what I have to say. One person to hug
me & tell me things will be okay,
even if they won`t

her feelings she hides.
her dreams she can't find.
she's losing her mind.
she's fallen behind.
she can't find her place.
she's losing her faith.
she's fallen from grace.
she's all over the place

I'll admit i'm lost. I don't know where i'm going in life. I don't know who my real friends are. I don't know what my interests are. I don't know what kind of a career i want. I don't know alot of things. But for the time being, i'm ok with that.

to offer a girl friendship when love is in her heart
is like giving a loaf of bread
to one who’s dying of thirst

We won't always know whose lives we  touched and made better for our having  cared, because actions can sometimes  have unforeseen ramifications.  What's important is that you do care and you act.
-Charlotte Lunsford

The real trouble with my sarcasm,
is that half the time when people think
I'm being sarcastic, I'm actually
being quite sincere.

i'm the best friend, but never the romance.
i'm the hook up, but never the commitment.
i'm a close second,
but never the perfect one.

Just say what you mean and mean what you say. Don't expect someone to read your mind, and don't play games with heads or hearts. Don't tell half truths and expect trust when the full truth comes out. Half truths are no better than lies. Don't be cold to someone you care about, indifference hurts more than angry words.

In life, we do things. Some we wish we had never done, and some we wish we could replay a million times. But they make us who we are and in the end they shape and detail us. If we were to reserve them, we wouldn't be the people we are today. So, just live. Make mistakes and have wonderful memories. But never second guess who you are, where you've been, and most importantly where you're going.

i know i'm too old to be believing in fairy tales. but there's no harm in dreaming, is there?

I will always be that girl, wanting but never having. I will always be that girl, seeing but never feeling. I will always be that girl, who doesn’t know the difference between dreams and reality. I guess you can say, I will always be that girl, waiting.

Only one person in a thousands know the trick of really living in the present. Most of us spend 59 minutes an hour living in the past, with regret for lost joys, or shame for things badly done ; both utterly useless & weakening ; or in a future which we either long for, or dread. There`s only one minute in which you`re alive, this minute, here & now. The only way to live is by accepting each minute as an unrepeatable minute, which is exactly what it is.

Ever have that one person in your life that you just can`t give up on, the one person that can screw you over time after time, yet you always seem to give them another chance, & no matter how many times you say this is their last one, you know it`s a lie because there`s always just one more waiting for them. The one person you know you`re better off without but yet you can`t find a way to let them go because deep down inside, you wouldn`t know what to do without them. The one person you know doesn`t deserve you, but yet you choose to over look it because you love him.

if you really want her to stick around,
don’t ever let her feel unimportant.

it made me wonder how many times
we forgive just because we don't
want to lose someone, even if they
don't deserve our forgiveness.
        -sarah dessen

If he's the one you love
and the one who makes you happy,
no matter how long you've liked him
and no matter what other people say,
you should keep trying and waiting
because one day it may just be worth it.

Over the course of the average lifetime you meet a lot of people. Some of them stick with you through thick and thin. Some weave their way through your life and disappear forever. But once in a while someone comes along who earns a permanent place in your heart.
( The Wonder Years )

when you're a kid you have this picture of how your life is gonna be, and it never crosses your mind that it's not gonna end up like that.
( Love & Basketball )

I've made mistakes in my life. I've let people take advantage
of me, and I accepted way less than I deserve. But, I've
learned from my bad choices and even though there are some
things I can never get back and people who will never
be sorry, I'll know better next time and I won't settle for
anything less than I deserve.

Sometimes it's a form of love just to
talk to somebody that you have nothing
nothing in common with and still be
fascinated by their presence.

I'm not a perfect lover...
I say what's on my mind
I sometimes start fights
I get jealous
I get mad
I'm sometimes demanding
I'm a crybaby
I'm moody
but there are 3 things
that I love about me...
I'm faithful
I'm sweet
& when I choose you..
It's only you..

You only find a few people in this world,
a few people who will tell you they love you
and actually mean it with all their heart.
Don't forget those people who stood by you through it all,
the special few that were there for you until the end.

How come its the girls
who could care less that
find someone instead of
girls like me who really
want it, actually deserve it.

Everyone says that life is such this amazing thing, when in reality, it isn't. It's full of drama, complicated boys, harsh crushes, evil sluts, backstabbing friends, family issues, self-image critisizing, and so much more. We're telling people that life is like flying, but we don't warn them about the fall

I wish I had somebody to love me like I am willing to love them. Deeply passionatly and loyally till the end of time

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.

All our young lives we search for someone to love, someone who makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope, all the while wondering if somewhere and somehow there is someone searching for us.
The Wonder Years

Do you ever sit and think what if? What if you had never said the first hello, or what if your paths never crossed? What if you had just five more minutes. What if you could turn back time and make it all stand still. Where would you be? Better? Worse? Less confused? More confused? Happier? Or sadder? Just what if …

There's one thing a quote does that nothing
and no-one else can do; it can become a part of you.
You may never meet the person who said it, but that
person is now a companion. Quotes help you get over
pain. Feel loved. Make you smile & laugh and help you
through those tough days when you think no-one else
knows what you're going through.

optimistic people are here to keep the  pessimistic people from wallowing in misery.
pessimistic people are here to remind the optimistic of a little fact called reality.

You can't just wake up one morning and think everything is different cause you wanted it to be last night before you fell asleep. You've got to do things, change things, start fresh.

It's amazing how much you can put up with from people you like, and how little you can take from the people you don't.

don't ever let someone
make you beleive you
cant follow your dreams
because if your hearts set to it
you can   <3

Brooke: Sometimes people play hard to get to know that the other person's feelings are real. - One Tree Hill

She's not the type to throw herself all over guys.
She's a plain girl, a wallflower.
But she might be able to give you more than you think.
You might want to give her a chance.

I know how numbing the pain of
hating yourself is. You know, it makes
you just want to push everybody away
especially the people who care about
you the most, but you can't, not if
you plan on ever being happy

life changes every minute of every day. you lose friends. you gain friends. you realize your friend wasn't ever really your friend, and that person you used to hate can make a really good friend. you look for love. you find love. you lose love. you realize all long that you've been loved. you laugh. you cry. you laugh so hard that you cry. you do this, you do that. you really wish you hadn't done that. you then learn from that and are glad that you did. you have your ups. you have your downs. you see good movies. you see bad movies. you wonder if your life is just one big movie. you look at others and wish you were them. you then realize who they are and are glad that you're you. you love life. you hate life. in the end you just find yourself happy to be living life, no matter what's thrown at you.

At the end of the day,
I want to be able to fall asleep
knowing that our lives are intertwined in
a way only we can understand.

I love you & i probably always will.
but we go days without having meaningful conversations.
& i used to miss you so much when that happened.
but it never seemed like you missed me,
& i guess because of that, i stopped missing you.
[ One Tree Hill ]

She was too afraid of the future to let anything
Change, but little by little everyone moved
On, and they left her, not even knowing
Who she was anymore

I want a love like in The Notebook. I want someone who isnt afraid to hurt my feelings. Someone who wont be afraid to tell me when I'm being a pain in the ass... which I am 99% of the time. But most of all, I want someone who wants me and all of me, forever.

I'm the girl guys are friends with, not the girl guys date

yea it's cute when people who have a lot in common date each other but I prefer somebody I can argue with & in the end, agree to disagree, & then make out! Really, why date yourself?

You know as well as I do it's not about what you look like, or your job, or how successful you are. It's about having people in your life that you love and who love you... that's all that matters
