reality is hitting me in the face...

We laughed as they said we wouldn’t want to leave … we cried when they said we had to go.

lately i've found myself looking back at
disastrous memories. memories of me
ruining relationships that i cherished most.
memories that have led me to the life
that i live now, but i know they make
me exactly who i am today.

Life is too fucking short not to stay up all night reading.
The summer is too fucking long
not to spend all your time outside, hitting a drum,
trying to tear everything up with your hands.
Friends are too precious to care how they treat you.
Just stick with the ones that want to feed you,
believe in you, and travel with you.
There’s too much media to be picky or selective.
Read, watch, listen to, and enjoy everything.
Never be critical, never dismiss anything.
Be open. Be stupidly open.
What’s the fucking point in not trying to experience everything all at the same time?

Don't be content with average
because average is just as close to
the bottom as it is to the top.

When "Your Song" Comes on the radio; Change the station.
When the day comes that he realizes what a
mistake he made and tries calling; Turn your phone off.
When he tries coming over; Don't answer the door.
Think of the Broken Promises. The Lies. The Manipulation.
The Tears. And The Wasted Moments.
Think about how your heart used to jump.
When your phone used to vibrate in the middle of the night
and how your stomach felt when you saw it wasn't him
and realized once again he hadn't called when he said he was going to.

The best advice a father could give to his daughter
when it comes to boys: "Don't listen to everything he says,
pay more attention to his actions."

You can’t take yourself too seriously.
Drink a beer, make some love, smoke a joint;
Whatever gets you through. The important thing
is that you live your life with no regrets &
have a kick ass time along the way.
- Bruce Springsteen

Reach for the stars, stand on your tiptoes, and never tell yourself no. You, yes you, can achieve anything. It may take months, it may takeyears, but when you finally have a firm grasp on a star, the reward isbreathtaking.

I often miss that little girl whose dreams had no barriers, who believed in a world where anything was possible, with a heart that was full and unbroken.

This is for all the jerks that have been telling a girl words that are to die for. You tell her, "You’d change for her. ” And you go behind her back, and freaking go against your word. You tell her, "You're the only one I talk to baby ” But in reality, you're texting a million other skanks, and telling them the same dang thing. You bring her out one day, hold her hand, give her a peck on the lips, hold her bag, and hold her by the waist. You show your friends your with her, but you stop texting / calling her after that day. You call her " my girl ” Which just makes her feel so good, when you got 2 or 3 other girls on the side too. This is for all the jerks, who’ve lied to women’s face, who’ve stopped talking to a women after a day, who’ve just cancelled a women outta their lives. Seriously? Grow up. We’ve been telling you jerk how much we hate getting hurt, and we freaking expect so much from you guys. We expect you guys to change, but do you?Negative. It’s sad because it spoils all the other guys who’d want a chance with these girls. They’d have to work harder, because the girl’s afraid she’d get played again. Two words for guys like this:

Screw You.

Problem with guys: They make you believe they love you when they really don’t.
Problem with girls: They make you believe they don’t love you when they really do.

When he holds me close and I hear
his heart beat and kiss his lips,
I realize that this is where i want to be, and
this is how i want to feel

Some people say being in a relationship is like
being stuck in a box, well it isn’t so bad if you
have the right guy stuck in there with you.

I like how sleeping next to someone means more than sex sometimes.
It's the body's way of saying 'I trust you to be by my side at my most vulnerable time.'
You have no defenses when you are asleep, you tell no lies.

I always have this fear that one day you are going to discover
that I'm not as great as you once thought I was..

I’m a hopeless romantic. I believe in wishing on stars, soul mates, and love that never ends. But yet, sometimes I feel like the only single person alive. I feel so alone. No matter what I try to do, I’m left in solitude. Maybe I try too hard. Maybe I really am hopeless

It’s like one of those old fashioned movies. It’s coming to an end and everyone is screaming at the screen, "Tell him you love him!" but you can't.

Did you ever notice that people give up on love as they get older?

When you're a little girl, all you want to do is fall in love.

Then when you're a teenager, every guy you meet you think it "the one".

Then when you're an adult and you have been hurt from the breakups as a teen, you're not interested in love anymore.

You just don't want to be alone, so you settle for someone you might even know isn't your soul mate.

I know so many adults that aren't truly where they want to be.

I just try to think about what they might have went through to make them settle for second best, and I hope that doesn't happen to me.

In front of total strangers, would you kiss me? Call me for no reason.. just because you miss me? So I say a thousand stupid things, and half the time I never mean them but this time I'm serious. I'm never going to talk to you first. So if I mean anything, anything at all to you, then you can talk to me because I give up.

Maybe if I had a prettier face, maybe if I changed my ways, maybe if I wasn't so laid back and quiet, maybe if he didn't meet her, maybe then I wouldn't feel like I do. But he played me like I wouldn't have known. I was too busy falling for that smile. My friends got me out of it but, boy, was I hurt. He was a jerk, but that jerk has my heart.
