I kept my head high and you better believe,
I never looked back.
sometimes, no matter how much you do, or how much you try, someone will not understand how much you've done until you're gone and they have no one left who actually cares about them, who can look out for them, and who will understand.
In order to be irreplaceable
there must be something about you
that's different from the rest.
You can't change the past, only your perspective.
theres always going to be that one guy that no
matter what happens between you two, no
matter how long you go without talking, you
never stop loving him
the tough thing about following your heart
is what people forget to mention. that
sometimes your heart brings you to places
you shouldnt be. places are as scary as they
are exciting, & as dangerous as they are
alluring. & sometimes your heart takes you
to places that can never lead to a happy ending.
& thats not even the difficult part. the difficult
part is when you follow your heart, you leave
it normal, you go into the unknown, & once
you do, you can never go back
So why does your pride make you run and hide,
are you that afraid of me?
But I know it's a lie what you keep inside.
This is not how you want it to be.
Most people are stronger than they know.
they just don't choose to believe in themselves.
we can lie to ourselves thinking that our world is perfect
but everyday we fight for something we want
whether its that seat in the back of the bus
the last cookie in the lunch line
or we fight for what we believe in
but fighting only makes you stronger
My biggest fear is to never go anywhere
in this world and to never make a big
enough impact to change people's lives.
you cannot teach a man anything;
you can only help him find it within himself.
Everytime i think about you,
I have to remind myself,
that if you wanted to talk to me,
you would.
Don't you ever wonder what it would be like if you only had a few more days to live?
Would you expose those stowed away thoughts of someone around you?
Would you live those last few days like you've never lived before?
And wouldn't you be wondering what others had to say to you when they felt they had no chance to ever do so?
we all need something bigger than ourselves to hold our heads up.
i know it seems hard sometimes but remember one
thing through every dark night, theres a bright day
after that so no matter how hard it gets, stick
your chest out, keep ya head up.. and handle it.
i gave you my heart.
when we fall short, i know we'll be okay.
you're my forever. you're my always.
god.. the way you look at me sometimes.
Its better to love someone you could never be with then to be with someone you could never love.
Never do anything you wouldn't
want to explain.
And now we hardly talk, but you had so much to say those nights
where there was skin on skin and I could feel your pulse.
Considering I thought it meant a little more than this,
I guess it's mostly you I'm starting to miss.
What's more important;
what we become.. or how we become it?
please don't grow up without me. hold my hand and
look me in the eye. fall asleep with me just one more
time. tell me that we'll always be best friends.
We're not too young for love.
Just too young for about everything there is that comes with love.
I'm not saying girls are perfect, cause we all know thats not true. But why be unfaithful to her if she's always been true to you?
I cant be with someone who has doubts,
no matter how small they are. I need someone
who wants to be with me as much as I
want to be with them. I dont want just
part of your heart, I want all of it.
it's sad how when you become an adult, you forget everything.
they're blind to see everything going wrong in the world and how bad it is. they say, 'things could be worse!'
yeah, but things could be better.
what lies behind us,
and what lies before us,
are simple matters,
compared to what lies within us.
After all is said & done,
I still think you're amazing.
I still cherish every
moment I spent with you,
every smile you brought to my face.
I'll be forever thankful that
someone like you was brought into my life,
even if you had to be
taken away too soon.
You were my miracle.
Prove that you are who you
always thought you were,
not who they said you had to be.
follow your dreams no matter what.
that's what I live by more than anything. no matter
how old you are or how young you are,
you should be living your wildest fucking fantasies.
that's the only reason we're on this planet.
life kicks you around sometimes. it scares you and it
beats you up. but there's one day when you realize
you're not just a survivor, you're a fighter. you're
tougher than anything life throws your way.
and you are.
What you say and how you look does not define who you are, because some of the most beautiful people do the ugliest things. You owe it to the people who hate you, who disrespect you & who put you down, because they are the ones who have made you who you are today; for keeping your head up & not breaking down when they want you to.
Sometimes you have to test someone.
Not because you don't trust them,
but to see how much they'll sacrifice for you.
And sometimes you have to let them go;
not because you suddenly stopped loving them,
but to see if they love you enough to come back.
[on the phone]
him: I love you
her: I love you too.
him: no but I love you
her: yeah I love you too.
him: listen, I LOVE YOU
her: -smiles- I love you too.
him: now that's the smile I was looking for
one night and one more time
thanks for the memories
even though they weren't so great
(hahah this is good, damn funny)
Never let anyone stop you from doing something just because they can't.
--The Pursuit of Happyness
"we're both looking for something
but we're afraid to fight."
I wanted to tell him that
Ill never be sorry for loving him.
That, in a way, I still do,
that maybe I always will.
Ill never regret a single thing we did together
cause what we had was special.
Maybe if we were 5 years older
it would have worked out differently.
Maybe, I think, its just that
Im not ready for forever.
why do people get married?
i know they're lying to each other,
but aren't they lying to themselves, too?
how are you supposed to promise
that you're going to feel the same way forever?
"You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the two most powerful men and the most powerful woman in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Rice'."
its funny how best friends have this sense, like when they both look at each other they just know that they need to talk later & they know exactly what the other wants to talk about.
your high school friends know who you are.
but your elementary school friends know why.
cry about them all not taking you seriously, girl.
but what do you expect?
the only thing your good for
is showing off and sex.
you're nothing to anyone,
but you want it this way.
with your mini skirt
and the thing you did last may.
"so i heard".. was all we heard.
and i believe everything because
when i put it all together,
you're still absolutely nothing.
too late you cant go back.
and even if you cared enough to try,
you'd walk past a car
with another good looking guy,
and mess up everything you just tried.
it isn't easy, but you are.
we all take different paths in life,
but no matter where we go,
we take a little bit of each other everywhere.
I really missed you tonight.
I miss talking to you.
Knowing that you get me.
And every time I talk to someone else.
It just reminds me of how much they don't.
too often we underestimate the power of a
touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear,
an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring,
all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
I love the way you look at me
when I say something stupid
it's like you're about to get mad,
but then all of a sudden you smile.
hang with the boys & hear the stories they tell,
she might act kind of proud,
but no respect for herself..
she finds love in all the wrong places,
the same situations, just different faces
if you don't fit the image,
then change the image.
don't let your dreams be dreams.
happiness is the secret to all beauty- there is no
beauty that is attractive without happiness.

Now I'm not trying to regret anything I have done or the things I have said. Life has a way of making change like the seasons. Sometimes I feel all alone, I wish you were there on special occasions. The feelings for you I cant hide, but I know better than to drop my pride.
wherever life takes you -- big cities, small towns, you will inevitably come across small minds. people who think they are better than you are. people who think that material things or being pretty or popular makes you a worthwhile human being. but none of these things matter unless you have a strength of character, integrity, sense of pride. and if you have these things, don't ever sell them. don't ever sell out. so when you meet a person for the first time, please don't judge them by their station in life. because who knows, that person just might end up being your best friend.
i'd rather have bad times with you than good times with someone else. i'd rather be beside you in a storm than safe and warm by myself.
i'm the girl who will burst out laughing in dead silence because of something that happened the day before.
See, that's the thing about second chances. It's two people that are there for each other & support each other & 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 & vice-versa. Second chances are about holding on to that other person's hand no matter how hard they beg to let go.
I am made of more than my yesterdays.
it turns out sometimes you
have to do the wrong thing,
sometimes you have to make a big mistake,
to figure out how to make things right.
mistakes are painful. but they're the only
way to find out who you really are.
and you say we're too young
but maybe you're too old to remember
and I try to pretend but I just feel it when we're together
and if you don't believe me, you never really knew us
Stay true to yourself, because there are
very few people who will stay true to you.
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone,
I'd stand up and punch them out.
Cause they're all wrong.
I know better.
Cause you said forever.
If you want me to respect you, you have to do something worth respecting
i don't care what people think of me.
the people i care about know the real
me && thats all that matters
I saw you today & realized how far apart
we've grown. I know i should talk to you, & ask
you how you're doing.. & i really wish i could..
but it's just occurred to me that we're strangers
now. You don't know me anymore, much less
want to, & its okay that you've moved on, I know
that everything is different now.. I've been staying strong.
So I'm random. I talk about things that happened years ago
and I burst out laughing in a silent room
because obviously I find something funny
I can walk down the halls waving
and someone's bound to wave back
so why can't you just accept that
no boy is worth me changing
because someone already loves me how I am.
what you have done is your past, and you
alone get to determine what your future will be.
you are not your past. you are what is possible
for you. own this truth and go forward in your life.
forgive yourself, and others will be able to forgive you.
always hold your head up high,
even if on the inside your about to cry.
pretend that nothing's wrong at all,
close your eyes before you fall
if you cant see it, it's not there,
this is life, and it's not fair
I love you. Not maybe, not tomorrow, not someday,
right now. At this very moment. I realized something.
I need you, I trust you, I admire you. I want you.
And you can be wrong a lot of the time, and we
can fight, and get mad at each other, but nothing,
nothing in this world can change the fact that I love you.
you know you are on the road to success if you
would do your job, and not be paid for it.
I wanna run with reckless emotion,
find out if love is the size of the ocean.
and even if i crash and burn,
[[ at least i know what it feels like to be alive ]]
I'm staring out into the night, trying to hide the pain. I'm going to the place where love and feeling good don't ever cost a thing, and the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.
do you ever wonder what your life
looks like from someone else's eyes?
takes you in their arms, & whispers softly,
everythings going to be all right.
go ahead, take her hand
show her that a boyfriend
is first of all her friend
So this is how it goes..
Well I, I would have never known,
And if it ends today..
Well I'll still say that
you shine brighter than anyone.
I love it when someone insults me.
That means that I don't have to be nice anymore.
it's not about the amount of friends you have ;
it's about how many you trust.
Don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble
and fall because most of the time the greatest
rewards come from doing the things that scare
you the most.Maybe you'll get everything you
wish for. Maybe you'll get more than you could
have imagine. Who knows where life could take
you. The road is long and in the end
the journey is the destination.
And some days make me feel weak and shaky. Some fly right by me like a paper airplane, and I hardly notice that the world's gone crazy but nothing's clearer than the way you say my name.
everything i have in this world
and all that i'll ever be,
it could all fall down around me
just as long as i have you right here
Sure, she's pretty, but it's about more than that. You two connect. Anything you throw at her, she can throw right back. You figured out what's going on in that predictable head of hers in under five minutes, but something tells you her heart would take about five years.
fight for the things you love,
love the things worth fighting for.
i want to be the girl who leaves an
everlasting impression on someone.
i don't want to be the type that you'll
forget in a week. i want to be hard to forget.
i want to have the kind of impact
on someone where they know
they'll never find anyone else
who can take my place. i want that.
i need you to know you can fall into me
that my arms are wide open and will always be
right here waiting, staying strong, come and fall into me
i knew who i was this morning
but i've changed a few times since then.
"Fine" is a word you say when someone asks how you are but they dont really care to know the truth.
follow your dreams no matter what.
that's what I live by more than anything. no matter
how old you are or how young you are,
you should be living your wildest fucking fantasies.
that's the only reason we're on this planet.
the saddest people I've ever met in life
are the ones who don't care deeply
about anything at all.
passion and satisfaction go hand in hand.
and without them, happiness
is only temporary because
there's nothing to make it last.
I love to hear people talk about
what their most passionate
about, because that's when you
see the person at their best.
sometimes love isn't firecrackers.
sometimes love just comes softly.
courage is the art of being the only one that knows you're scared to death.
we could learn a lot from crayons, some are pretty, some dull, some have weird names, some are different colors. but they all manage to live in the same box.
sometimes it's the smallest decisions
that can change your life forever
Before you find love, find yourself.
