on the outside, you know you're not
the same innocent girl anymore.
you've been through too much lately.
but deep down at your core
there will always be a part of you
that rejects reality and is eternally hopeful

Take time to realize,
That I am on your side
Didn't I tell you?
But I can't spell it out for you,
No it's never gonna be that simple.

Wait long enough to always mean what you say
Speak quick enough to always say what you think
Think long enough to understand what you feel.
Feel deep enough to do what you mean
Never wait too long. Time will pass you by.

because life is an ugly place
not to have a best friend.

Only those who attempt the absurd
achieve the impossible.

Live the life you want to live.
Be the person you`ll be proud of being.
Make decisions. Make mistakes, &&
if you fall at least you tried. no regrets

Maybe our hearts were just next in line,
& maybe everything breaks sometimes.

same four walls
same old town
same things day after day
same everything
how she would kill
just to be anywhere but here

she's hurt.
mentally and emotionally.
literally and metaphorically.
but every day she walks outside
with a smile on her face.
because that's who she is,
the girl who never stopped smiling

No one falls in love by choice; it's by chance.
No one stays in love by chance; it is by work.
No one falls out of love by chance; it's by choice.

if you're getting pushed away, don't hold tighter. letting go when you're getting pushed is the only way he will feel what it's like without you. even though it's the hardest thing to do, do it for him.

gifts of time & love are surely the basic
ingredients of a truly merry Christmas .

Surround yourself with people you love being yourself with

We were dreamers not so long ago
But one by one we all had to grow up
++ Believe by: Josh Groban

Life isn't all about love, or friends, or family. Life is about having the will in your heart to accept everyone that God has brought to you.

To appreciate the beauty of a snowflake, it is necessary to stand out in the cold.

Our problem is that we hate change
& love it at the same time 
What we really want is for things to
remain the same, but get better.

Snowflakes fell on your nose,
frost bites on my toes.
You'll warm me up with a gentle kiss,
& we`ll know this holiday love is true bliss.

years from now i won't remember every day or the things that made us laugh so hard until our stomachs hurt, but i'll always remember that they were the ones who were there.

if i had a snowflake for everytime i thought of you, we'd have a really white christmas.
++ charlie brown.

You say girls are confusing? Nice try. Girls are the easiest to understand. We want love. We want trust, we want everything most guys lack. We want someone to change for us; we want them to accept the fact that sometimes we forget to shave. We want someone who doesn`t put drugs & alcohol before us. We want back rubs; we want you to give us flowers. We want you to hold our hand; we want you to be able to have sex with us for the beauty, not just cause you want it. We all just want our own Prince Charming.

But holding people away from you, & denying yourself love, that doesn`t make you strong. If anything it makes you weaker. Cause you`re doing it out of fear

I can say I made a lot of mistakes, but I don`t regret things. Cause at least I didn`t spend a life standing outside, wondering what living would be like on the inside.

Friendship means understanding, not agreement. it means forgiveness, not forgetting. it means the memories last, even if contact is lost

Sometimes in a relationship, going through hell isn`t so bad if you come out of it a little stronger. I guess the same is true about friends.
[ Felicity ]

it`s not those who are there when you need them. it`s who has been there the entire time

You`ve had a lifetime to process your feelings for me, & I can`t spend forever hoping that you maybe might throw a general glance in my direction.
[ Dawson`s Creek ]

I think that the only reason why people hold onto memories so tight, for so long is cause memories are the only things that don`t change when everything else does

It`s the people who hug you & never want to let go, the people who you haven`t seen for months, but nothing has changed at all, the people who give to you more than you give to them, the people that truly understand who you are, the people who you cry about, the people who you live for, the people in your photographs that have light genuinely shining through their eyes & their smile, the people that take your breath away.

Slowly as the years go on,
you lose friends you never thought you would

life is all about risks and it requires you to
jump. don't be a person who has to look back
and wonder what they would have, or could
have had. no one waits forever.

there comes a point in your life when
you get tired of chasing everyone &
trying to fix things. its not giving up,
its realizing you dont need certain people.

it's easier to forgive a memory
than to forgive a friend

For some people, they find their identity
in high school. They find the clique they
belong in & and they find something
they never had. For others, it's different.
They lose their friends & don't know who
they are anymore. High school becomes
the most dreaded and painful years of
their lives. I guess you can look at it both
ways, where you make new friends, but
can't exactly keep the old ones

Take chances, a lot of them.
cause honestly, no matter
where you end up, & with who,
it always ends up just the way
it should be. Your mistakes make
you who you are, you learn &
grow with each choice you
make, everything is worth it.
Say how you feel - always.
Be you, & be okay with it.

maybe the best thing to do is
stop figuring our where youre going,
& just enjoy where youre at.

Do what makes you happy.
Be with those who make you smile.
Laugh as much as you breathe.
Love as much as you live.

Whatever comes our way,
whatever battle is raging inside us,
we always have a choice.
It`s the choices that make us what we are,
and we can always choose to do the right thing.

Do whatever makes you happy
cause in the end, you're the only
one who's guaranteed to be there.

There are always sides. there is always a winner & a loser. for every person who gets, theres someone who must give.

Friendship means understanding, not agreement. it means forgiveness, not forgetting. it means the memories last, even if contact is lost

it`s not those who are there when you need them. it`s who has been there the entire time

You`ve had a lifetime to process your feelings for me, & I can`t spend forever hoping that you maybe might throw a general glance in my direction.
[ Dawson`s Creek ]

I think that the only reason why people hold onto memories so tight, for so long is cause memories are the only things that don`t change when everything else does

& I realized that letting go was a gradual process, that I was being healed without knowing it, that even though I didn`t realize I was moving on with my life, it was happening.

It`s the people who hug you & never want to let go, the people who you haven`t seen for months, but nothing has changed at all, the people who give to you more than you give to them, the people that truly understand who you are, the people who you cry about, the people who you live for, the people in your photographs that have light genuinely shining through their eyes & their smile, the people that take your breath away.

Surround yourself with people you love being yourself with

Without even realizing it,
You taught me a lot of things. Not only about life, but how it`s okay to feel something,
extraordinary about someone.

Slowly as the years go on,
you lose friends you never thought you would

when you stop fighting, you stop living.
we all need that thing that`s worth fighting for.
maybe it`s a certain someone, or a special place, maybe just an idea. So find your right,
& fight like hell, til your battle is won.

We were dreamers not so long ago
But one by one we all had to grow up
[ Believe ; Josh Groban ]

Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need
If you just believe
[ Believe ; Josh Groban ]

how am i supposed to tell you how i feel
i need oxygen
[ Oxygen ; Colbie Caillat ]

My feet are stuck here
against the pavement
I wanna break free
[ The Little Things ; Colbie Caillat ]

Hope is such a waste
Every breath you take
You give me the burdens bitter taste
You promised that you'd stay
[ Too Far Gone ; All American Rejects ]

Storybook endings, fairy tales coming true
Deep down inside we want to believe they still do
[ Ever Ever After ; Carrie Underwood ]

Ever ever after
If we just don't get it our own way
Ever ever after
It may only be a wish away
[ Ever Ever After ; Carrie Underwood ]

How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you love her?
[ That's How You Know ; Amy Adams ]

There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
[ Only Hope ; Mandy Moore ]

Sing to me the song of the stars
Of your galaxy dancing and
laughing and laughing again
Well it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again
[ Only Hope ; Mandy Moore ]

people change. shit goes wrong
but just remember, life goes on

i get so sick of everyone disappointing me. i guess its my fault for thinking so highly of people. cause in the end no one seems to live up to my expectations.

people will forget what you said.
people will forget what you did.
but people will never forget
how you made them feel

I would rather you say 'i love you' just
once & truly mean it than say it a 1,000
times & never mean it, not even once.

if you dont go after what you want,
youll never have it.
if you dont ask,
the answer is always no.
if you dont step forward,
youre always in the same place

The future belongs to those who
believe in the beauty of their dreams.

its impossible to please everyone,
so i suggest we all stop trying to do just that

I`ve made mistakes in my life. I`ve let people take advantage of me, & I accepted way less that I deserve. But, I`ve learned from my bad choices & even though there are some things I can never get back & people who will never be sorry. I`ll know better next time & I won`t settle for anything less than I deserve.

People who have slept in the same bed
for 25 years may not be truly joined, &
people who are many miles apart may
not be separate at all.

God planned so many things for me
Knowing that he`s not the one.
And that there`s someone better than him
The boy who would treat me right.

You call me a bitch because I don't care what you say; I'm not like you. I don't care about what everyone thinks about me, says about me; whatever. And you say I think I'm so cool because I don't hate on people like you do? Excuse me, but I don't like to blame on people for talking shit about me when they don't even know me because they don't even know the real thing!

Hate is an emotion
for the weak.

Writing a poem is like seeing shapes in a cloud;
the person next you hardly ever knows
what the hell you're talking about.

A life without friends is just a boring routine.
A life with friends is always a new experience.

I fear too that what you said will come true.
I worry about us changing too much, too soon.
But if the most important thing stays the same,
it won't matter how much we've changed.

Everyone in their life will eventually say that love stinks. But for some reason no matter how strong the smell, people always end up following the same pungent odor of love <3
-Kayla Custino

In life there will be that one person who will
affect you for the rest of your life. The only
person who's going to have that affect on me is
someone amazing & indescribable to words,
but it wasn't him.

Isn't it ironic?
We ignore the ones who adore us,
adore the ones who ignore us,
love the ones who hurt us,
& hurt the ones that love us.

No one falls in love by choice; it's by chance.
No one stays in love by chance; it is by work.
No one falls out of love by chance; it's by choice.

And yet this pretty girl is still dedicated
to a fairytale that has already ended.

surround yourself with people who are only going to lift you higher

Slowly as the years go on,
you lose friends you never thought you would

when you stop fighting, you stop living.
we all need that thing that`s worth fighting for.
maybe it`s a certain someone, or a special place, maybe just an idea. So find your right,
& fight like hell, til your battle is won.

People are always trying to comfort me by saying "You did fine before you met him, so you can live without him." But that`s just it: I really didn`t live until I met him.

It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your friends.

So lets lie in the grass & stare at the stars & live through the moment, figure out who we are.

Like all of a sudden I didn`t fit in anywhere. Not at school, not at home..& every time I turned around, another person I`d known forever felt like a stranger to me. Even I felt like a stranger to me.
[ Wendelin Van Drannen ]

Forgive & forget. That`s what they say. It`s good advice, but it`s not very practical. When someone hurts us, we want to hurt them back. When someone wrongs us, we want to be right. Without forgiveness, old scores are never settled; old wounds never heal. & the most we can hope for, is that one day we`ll be lucky enough to forget.
[ Grey`s Anatomy ]

Take chances, a lot of them. cause honestly, no matter where you end up, & with who, it always ends up just the way it should be. Your mistakes make you who you are, you learn & grow with each choice you make, everything is worth it. Say how you feel - always. Be you, & be okay with it

 sometimes you just need to cry & be sad. you need to break down & be torn apart. you need to learn how to pick yourself up & put yourself back together. sometimes, the only way to be happy is to give into sadness first. cause without sadness, there`s no happiness, you would never learn to smile.
