and i'm standing here alone, trying to make this life my own

you know what hurts the most? the feeling of being replaced.

it's like no matter what you did, it wasn't enough. and no

matter what you do to try and capture their heart

again, doesn't seem to work. and you're suddenly

left thinking that you'll never be enough. and a

sudden sadness captures the heart that never really leaves.

**

someday i hope you find everything you want,

just forgive me for everything i'm not.

**

i was mid-laugh when you called. just reading your name

from my phone stunned me so fiercely

that for two seconds, i truly couldn't breathe.

and from my sudden silence, all of my friends could tell that

it was you.

**

eventually all the pieces fall into place. until then, laugh

at the confusion, live for the moment

and know that everything happens for a reason.

**

there will always be those awkward moments when you

pass that person and remember what you used to have.

**

i didn't change. i'm still the girl who sits around and

laughs at dumb things and walks

with the biggest smile on her face. you're just mad

because frankly, i got tired of bullshit

and don't give a damn anymore.

**

she broke down that other day, yeah you know.

some things in life may change. but some things, they stay

the same.

**

she's strong, because she knows what it's like to be weak.

she keeps a guard, because she knows what it's like to cry

herself to sleep.

**

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,

and who put you down, because they are not the ones

who have made you who you are today; for keeping your head up

and not breaking down when you want to.

**

when faced with two choices, simply toss a coin.

it works not because it settles the question for you.

but because in that brief moment when the coin is in the air,

you suddenly know what you are hoping for.

**

learn from your past and move on, grow stronger. people are

fake, but let your trust last longer. do what you got to do,

but always stay true, and never let anyone get the best of you.

**

you exhaust way too much time and energy on a girl you

call "just your friend."

**

years from now i won't remember every friday night or the

things that made us laugh so hard 'til our stomachs hurt,

but i will always remember that you were

the ones who were there.

**

love is a lot like music. there's many different

kinds and endless anmounts of it.

but there's only a few songs you don't get

tired of.

**

rumors are vicious, talk is cheap. words are malicious,

secrets you should keep. gossip is fake and it'll make the deepest cut.

so learn from the past and keep your mouth shut.

**

tell the world that i'm coming home

^i thought this was cute. if only more people

could believe what this says. including me. it's hard to look in the

mirror and actually like what you see. if more people

had confidence in themselves, there would probably be more

happy people. im gonna try and work on that,

but i dont think it's gonna happen anytime soon! haha,

happy new years eve everyone! :)

thats when i look at you

sometimes the feelings we start to have again are

feelings that never really went away in the first place.

**

i'm sorry i'm not 40 years old and have bills to pay,

and children to feed. but i'm also sorry

i'm 16 and can't look in the mirror and think i'm pretty

enough for anyone, and i'm sorry that's all anyone's ever made me

feel.

**

mornings are great that way. you can cry yourself to sleep

and wake up wondering what the fuss was over.

**

when it starts to rain on your parade, bust out the slip n' slide.

**

best friends: the ones that you can get mad at only for

and hour cause you have important stuff to tell them.

**

sometimes you just can't tell someone how you feel. not just

because you don't trust them,

& not because you think they will call you a freak. but because

you can never really find the

right words to make them understand. & it makes you

frustrated. people take things 100

different ways, & that's why it's so hard. but if what you're

trying to say is meant to be said...

it will find a way to be understood.

**

if "plan A" doesn't work out, don't worry, you still have

25 letters left.

**

i know life is unfair,

but this is fucking

ridiculous.

**

i wonder what you're doing right now and if you're okay.

i hope you are.

i wonder if you have trouble sleeing 'cause you're thinking

too much and if you're sad.

i hope you're not. i wonder if you think of me,

and also wonder. i hope you do.

**

the happiest people don't necessarily have the best of

everything.

they just make the most of everything that comes their way.

**

i never know

what to say

anymore.

**

i found out that when you want to know the truth about

someone.

that someone is probably the last person you should ask.

**

if it didn't matter you wouldn't be thinking about it.

**

i just wanted to thank you for calling me back when i hung

up on you, and for grabbing my arm when i started walking away.

**

saying no seems the easiest way to go. but pay attention to

the

tone, because underneath all that stress, there might be a yes.

**

i don't know what i want to do with my life, i just know i want

to do it. i want to see my world.

i want to make someone's life a little easier. i

want to be different than the

people i know. i want to be ridiculous

before i die. but

mostly, i don't want any regrets.

**

sometimes it takes being away from someone for a while,

to realize how much you really need them in your life.

**

nothing turns out as we expect it, it never does. life's under no

obligation to give us what we expect. we take what we get and

are thankful tht it's not worse than it is.

**

every girl wants a guy that will say; "the next girl i'll ever love

is our daughter."

^i thought that was cute, lol

**

i act differently around different people. mind you, i'm not fake.

i just have my own comfort zone. that's why i only can

completely be myself

when i'm with people i'm comfterable with.

^true

**

when no one's around to see her pain, she breaks down.

they say she's so strong, but they've never seen her cry.

she's got everyone fooled.

**

there's nothing more valuable than having someone

in your life that reminds you of who you are.

**

before you go and criticize someone else,

remember, you have your own imperfections too.

**

life can either be accepted or changed. if it is not accepted,

it must be changed. if it cannot be changed, then it must be

accepted.

**

because sometimes, the people you

can't live without, can live without you.

**

you know you're at the top, when only heaven's right above it

i guess the change in my pocket, wasn't enough

with enough time, we all find what we're looking for.

even if it was there all along.

& i keep going back to the one thing i need to get away from.

you never think the last time is the last time.

you always thing there will be more.

you think you will have forever. but you don't.

when scientists discover the center

of the universe don't be suprised

when it isn't you.

no matter how carefully you choose your

words, they'll always end up being twisted

by others.

sometimes there won't be someone to run to

when you're breaking. sometimes you just

have to fight battles by yourself.

is anybody satisfied with who they really are? you could

be the moon and still be jealous of the stars.

there are two kinds of people in your life- the ones

that are going to pick you up and the ones that are

going to push you down. in the end, you'll thank

both of them.

being left alone, with my mind, is actually quite dangerous.

you will never become who you want to

be if you keep blaming everyone else for

who you are.

right now,

someone you haven't met is out there,

wondering what it would be like to meet

someone like, you.

she likes you a lot, she just has a funny

way of showing it. but, hey, so do you.

so keep your head high,

keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling,

because life's a beautiful

thing and there's so much to

smile about.

sometimes i feel like spitting out my entire

life's story to anyone who will

listen.

no matter how ugly you think you are or how

everyone else around you has it better than you;

there's always going to be that one special guy

that loves you because you're not like anyone else.

if you really knew me... what you'd seem is a girl with

about as much self esteem as a spoon. a girl who has

good intentions, stitched all together ina fake, but

convincing smile.

without you i'll be miserable at best

most of the time, love doesn't really need words.

-one tree hill

if you're going through hell, i suggest you come back learning something.

don't be so quick to judge me,

you only see what i choose to show.

we all hope, it's what keeps us alive.

the next time you gaze at your reflection,

smile. it's suprising how completely different

that person staring back at you will look.

just because it's not what you expected, doesn't mean it

isn't everything you've been waiting for all along.

we talked about old times,

and it made me smile because you didn't forget.

sometimes, we have to be broken down

so that we can be rebuilt into what we're

actually meant to be.

i know i've made a lot of dissapointments,

mistakes, and failures. but i guarantee

there's a part of me that's actuaally worth keeping.

never try to forget something, no matter how much

you want to. there's a reason why your mind won't let it go,

even if your heart has. your memories always serve a purpose,

whether you know it or not, and you can't fight that.

everything was so much easier

when our hearts weren't involved.

nobody wants to hear this, but sometimes,

the person you want the most, is the one you're best without.

if someone wants to be apart of your life, they'll make an effort to be in it.

don't bother reserving a spot in your heart for someone who doesn't make and effort to stay.

and in the end, all that matters is that you can live with your mistakes.

never regret a single one, because mistakes are what make you.

don't let them break you.

its hard to trust anyone when everyone you ever

opened your heart to-let you down.

everyone thinks that i have it all

but it's so empty living behind these castle walls.

we're not perfect. any of us. we make mistakes,

we screw up but then we forgive and move forward.

through misplaced words and a sinking feeling, i got carried away

and i can't hide that i relied on you,

like yellow does on blue.

and you're my good feeling,

and you are my reason for breathing.

i don't believe in the old cliche, that good things come to those who wait.

i think good things come to those who want something so

bad, they can't sit still.

1 universe. 9 planets. 204 countries. 809 islands. 7 seas.

and i had the priviliege to meet you.

if someone took everything you live for,

how far would you go to get it back?

you can't go through life thinking everyone you meet will

let you down.

you know the difference between promises and

memories?

we break promises, whereas memories break us.

if my radio breaks, will you sing to me?

the expected is what we live for.

the unexpected is what changes our lives.

i'm afraid of growing up, because i'm afraid nothing

will be this beautiful once i see the world for what it is.

no one can really know you, until you know yourself.

we've taken the world apart,

but we have no idea what to do with the pieces.

we should all start to live before we get too old.

fear is stupid. so are regrets.

say what you think; not what you think you should say.

gravity sucks. i want to fly.

i can hear you whisper, but you can't even hear me scream.

what other people think of me is not my business.

happiness isn't something you experience,

it's something you remember.

music is what i always turn to

when i'm feeling a certain way. it's

my reason for everything.

i can handle pain...

until it hurts.

she talks about you like you put the stars in the sky.

i don't care how i met you, all that matters is that i did.
