theres things i wish i couldnt feel

I want out of the labels. I don't want my whole life crammed into a single word. A story. I want to find something else, unknowable, some place to be that's not on the map. A real adventure. A spinx. A mystery. A blank. Unknown. Undefined.

She's beautiful but she'll never admit it. Music is her life, literally. Ask for a good song, she'll give you five. Big sunglasses and jeans are her trademarks. She's afraid of big bugs and obsessed with gum. When she smiles her whole face lights up and her heart's been broken by a guy who doesn't love her anymore. And you know what? She doesn't care.

The things we truly love stay with us always, locked in our hearts as long as life remains.
--Josephine Baker

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.

Always remember that the future comes one day at a time.
--Dean Bennett

Happy are those who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true

He's been a major part of your life, of course you'll miss him - it's perfectly normal. It's like getting a major tooth pulled out, after the dentist pulls it, you're relieved. But how many times does you tongue run itself over the spot where the tooth once was? Probably a hundred times a day. Just cause it was hurting you doesn't mean you notie it's absence. It leaves a gap and sometimes, you feel yourself missing it terribly. It's going to take a while, but it takes time. Should you have kept the tooth? No, it was causing you pain. Pulling the tooth was the right decision, but it's going to hurt.

because, even if it breaks your heart to be just friends, if you really care about someone, you'll take the hit.

Girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up. If a guy punches you, he likes you. Never try to trim your own bangs and someday you will meet a wonderful guy and get your very own happy ending. Every movie we see, every story we're told implores us to wait forit, the third act twist, the unexpected declaration of love, the exception to the rule. But sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending we don't learn how to read the signs. How to tell from the ones who wantus and the ones who don't, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave. And maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. Maybe the happy ending is just moving on. Or maybe the happy ending is this, knowing after all the unreturned phone calls, broken hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment, you never gave up hope. He's just not that into you

I really shouldn't miss you, but I can't let you go
