That summer was defined by you. In every memory I have of it, you’re there

1.) We don't have to hate each other for getting older,
we just have to forgive ourselves for growing up

2.) there is a difference in what we long for,
what we settle for, and who we are meant for. - the notebook.

3.) there's nothing scarier than getting what you want,
because that's when you really have something to lose
***********

4.)  I didn't have the heart to hurt you.
That's the last thing I wanted to do.
But I didn't have the heart to love you,
not the way you wanted me too.
*************************

5.) The biggest mistake you can make.
Is to drift apart from someone
who you once had the time of your life with. 

6.) deep down you know it's best for yourself ,
but you hate the thought of him being with someone else.

7.) I still miss you, but not like I did before. The intense aching I felt isn't there anymore. I still whisper your name, though not as often as I used to. Now it may be once before the day is through. I still hear your voice replaying in my mind, but it's fading now. Soon, silence I will find. I still long for you, to feel your touch, but it's not like before. I don't dream it as much. I still think about you and wonder how you are, but my feelings have changed and they don't go as far. I still feel you sometimes. Maybe you're thinking of me or maybe it's just a little memory of how it used to be. I still love you but it's just not as strong because I'm letting you go now, so we can both move on. You still have a piece of my heart because I always feel you here. Now I'm hoping and praying that that, too, will quickly disappear. This will be my last goodbye, I've nothing else to say. Everything I felt for you can now just fade away.

8.) I find it really hard to accept that some things in life will never go back to the way it used to be, and all I can do is think about it all the time, wishing I could re-live it. When I close my eyes, I think about all the good times we had.. but it's all in the past, and I can never get it back. I loved those days, and I miss them so much. It hurts to know that those memories will always stay in my mind no matter what I do.. but I know it's impossible to go back.

9.) and in the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take,
the people we were too afraid to get close with,
the opportunities we passed on and the decisions we couldn't make because we waited too long

10.) I think life isn't as complicated as we make it out to be. We are constantly looking for answers. But there are no answers, things just happen. The good and the bad. To see the rainbow you've got to put up with the rain. It happens, and there is nothing we can do about it. The universe isn't made up of questions, waiting for us to answer.

11.) It's weird. I mean, yeah, I miss you, but it's so much more than that.
I miss the way my heart just stops at the sight of you and your smile,
but the sad part is, it's not just your smile I'm missing. It's mine too

12.) She thinks about you nonstop and you’re all she talks about. When she talks to you she always has the goofy smile and she truly looks happy. With one hug, you make her melt and you always leave her with butterflies. But at the same time, when she’s upset it’s usually because of you, but she refuses to see any bad in you. And no matter how many people try and tell her different, she believes you’re perfect for her and worth every second of the wait.
************** 

13.) I mean, look I don’t know if anything is going to happen with us, againEver.
But I don’t want to know that it never could.

14.) Dont you love that moment. When you're on a long car ride, or listening to music, or reading.
And you completely zone out. You forget your troubles, and everyone around you.
You're focused on that one thing, and that one thing only.
You're content, and everything seems peaceful

15.) I'm weird with relationships. I think I know what I want, and then I run.
I think I run because I'm scared, scared that I might get hurt
. Or maybe I just haven't found someone who I know is worth being hurt for.

16.) I've learned this past year. i've changed, i've grown up and realized maybe things do happen for a reason. maybe they don't. but no matter what, they still happen. that's what we need to remember. i learned to stop analyzing things, to just let them happen. and if i get hurt, or if something bad happens, there's nothing i can do to change that. i've learned to go with my gut, and that it's okay to make mistakes because the ones that matter won't care. i've learned that love really is as great as they say it is. i've learned that your friends can save you from your worst enemy: yourself. and most importantly, i've learned that today is all we have. 

17.) What I’m most afraid of is that feeling..The feeling of being alone; of being lost. That feeling when you have absolutely no idea what’s going on inside of you. When you have no idea what’s coming next or where you’re going. When you feel lost while you’re just sitting in your room. When you’re just completely empty inside and you can actually feel it.

18.) I know; we're complete strangers now.
We both pretend like we don't care,
but I can feel the tension as much as you can.
I know how to hide my feelings from your piercing stare
and no matter what you think, I still miss you

19.) You never know the biggest day of your life is the biggest day. Not until it’s happening. You don’t recognize the biggest day of your life, not until you’re right in the middle of it. The day you commit to something or someone. The day you get your heart broken. The day you meet your soul mate. The day you realize there’s not enough time, because you wanna live forever. Those are the biggest days. The perfect days. You know?

You've got what it takes, but it will take everything you've got.

1.) You've got to learn to push through the hard times 
because you have to face them. Running from them 
now will only make you too tired to fight through 
them when they catch up to you later

2.) In the last few days you have made me feel alive. 
You've made me feel beautiful and intelligent and 
wanted. And no matter how hard I try, I'll never be 
able to tell you how much that has meant to me.

3.) But then I realized I was holding on to something that didn’t exist anymore.
That the person I missed didn't exist anymore. People change.
The things we like and dislike change. And we could wish all day long that they didn't,
but they always will.

4.) Guys think of you as a video game. They play you and keep beating levels, but if they get mad at the game, they yell and scream at it, then eventually turn it off if it isn't going their way. And when they finally finish the game and beat the last level, they get bored and don't want to play the game anymore because there's nothing new left to do, nothing new to learn. Guys don't like a game that's easy to beat, they want a challenge, just one that's not hard enough to run down their ego.

5.) "I want someone to fall in love with the way I laugh and the way I smile.
I want someone to listen to the ramblings of my inner child.
Someone who touches my face and brushes the hair from my eyes.
I want someone who loves me or at least holds me like they do.
But I only want that if it’s you."
******************* 

6.) "You don't choose who you fall for, you just fall.
And you get this person who is all wrong, yet so right at the same time.
You know that you like them so much,
except sometimes they drive you completely insane and no one can explain it.
The reason it’s so confusing is because it’s love,
and if you didn’t have any challenges, what would be the point?"

7.) Change is a funny thing. We're never quite sure 
what we're becoming, or why. Then, one day 
we look at ourselves and wonder who we are 
and how we got there

8.) "If a guy can't handle you in sweat pants, he sure
as hell doesn't deserve you in a wedding dress."
- Drake

9.) Saying you'll never fall in love is like saying you'll 
never smile, no matter how hard you try, someone 
will come along and make you. 

10.) A best friend is the person that you call when you are at your absolute worst,
it is the person who saves you when you didn't even notice that you needed saving,
mostly it is the person who accepts you for who you are,
and the person that you are becoming.
*****************

11.) When people say friendships don't last forever, they never met us.
You're my best friend and probably the only reason I am who I am today.
You've helped me shape my character and become a better,stronger person
. Only you know everything, I trust you with my whole life.

12.) Sometimes even Superwoman needs a 
Superman to straighten out her cape...
and if I'm Superwoman, you wanna know 
what my kryptonite is? It's you. You're 
the only one who makes me weak.

13.)  Imagine a future moment in your life where all 
your dreams come true. You know, it is the greatest
moment of your life and you get to experience it 
with one person... who is standing next to you?

14.) I don't care what everyone thinks, let them think they are better than me.
Because I'm going to be the one to get out of this run down town.
I'm going to be the one to look back and say "look at me now.

15.) Happiness starts with one word,
one joke, one text, one phone call, one song,
one hug, one kiss and stops with one mistake.

16.) I looked back on us today, and I honestly don't know why I missed you, and why I wanted you back. Sure, at the beginning we were kids rushing into things we had no idea what about, but slowly, instead of trusting you more, I trusted you less, and the more I loved you, the less I loved myself. But now I'm free, and I'm not sorry. I had to get out. I knew it was over long before you said it. And I thought you broke my heart, but you merely made it stronger, made it resilient. Of course I'll never forget you, but there's no way I'm ever going back. So goodbye, my first love. Thank you for being such a fabulous waste of time.

17.)  

Everyone comes with baggage from previous relationships. 
If you're lucky though, you'll find someone who's willing 
to love you enough to stand there and help you unpack.

18.) People are taken aback by a confident,
pretty girl who knows what she wants in life
and isn't going to let anyone get in her way.
And you know what it’s all about? Jealousy.

19.) The problem with seeming strong is that people 
think they can hurt you whenever they want.

20.) There it goes again. That heavy feeling in your chest
when you don't feel any desire to speak or move.
All you want to do is close your eyes and sleep,
because the process of being broken is incredibly exhausting.
You attempt your best to make your days fulfilling,
but no matter how hard you try you can't seem to connect to anyone or anything.

21.) Everything will be okay. Think about what happened a year ago today. You probably can't even remember. Everything that seems important now won't be anymore. Things find a way of working themselves out. Things aren't as impossible as they seem. Don't think about how broken your heart is right now, don't think about how things won't work and how hard everything seems to always be. You have two moving feet and a heart that beats. Use your feet and go find someone or something to make your heart happy. Whatever happens is what is what is supposed to happen. Maybe it won't always work out, I can't promise you that it will. But there is no reason to believe you won't be okay. There is no reason to believe everything won't work out.

22.) Sometimes things happen in our lives that tear 
us apart inside, but if we don’t learn to look past 
them and see the sun shining above the clouds,
we will forever be standing in the rain.

23.) Follow the tugs in your heart. I think that 
everyone gets these gentle urges and 
should listen to them. Even if they sound 
absolutely insane, they may be worth going for.

24.) Don’t trust too much, don’t love too 
much, don’t hope too much, because 
that too much can hurt you so much.

25.) 

 We don't need to rush. If somethings bound to 
happen, it will happen. In the right time, with 
the right person and for the best reason. 
 

26.) For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again." - F. Scott Fitzgerald

Just pictures today

We are all afraid, always remember that.

1.) Look at you. You’re young. And you’re scared. Why are you so scared? Stop being paralyzed. Stop swallowing your words. Stop caring what other people think. Wear what you want. Say what you want. Listen to the music you want to listen to. Play it loud as fuck and dance to it. Go out for a drive at midnight and forget you have school the next day. Stop waiting for Friday. Live now. Do it now. Take risks. Tell secrets. This life is yours. When are you going to realize that you can do whatever you want?

2.) I will always have problems trusting people.
I’ll never think that anything will last.
Friendships and relationships, all of them just seem doomed.
But I still try, for the rest of my life, I will try.

3.) I constantly wonder how my life looks in other peoples lives. Do they think I have it easy? Do they think I have nothing going for myself? Or are they fascinated with who I am? The thing is no one will ever know my whole story. No one will ever know the things I've had to overcome. Not even my closest friends, not even my own family. People are so quick to judge now a days. You only see a person from what they want and allow you to see. I always try to look as put together as i can, and I guess that's my way of hiding from the truth. It's just that way that everyone will assume that every thing in my life is okay. That I never go through anything. If only everyone knew how broken I am, and how I'm holding on for dear life on this one last strand thats recently become very delicate. The truth is no one really knows me.
No one will ever know me, and sometimes that really scares me.

4.) I guess you're right; I'm afraid. I'm afraid to put my guard down.
I'm afraid that if you know who I am, you won't feel the same.
And I'm afraid that once my barrier is defeated and I'm comfortable, that you'll walk away.
*********************

5.) You know what? Yes, I have changed. I'm not as nice as I used to be, because I don't want to get used or walked over. I don't trust everyone and tell them my secrets, because behind every fake smile is a backstabbing bitch. I distance myself from people because in the end, they're only going to leave. I've changed because I've realized I'm the only person I can depend on.

6.) why did you have to look so good?
don't you know that i'm trying to hate you?

7.)  ive the life you want to live
be the person you want to remember
make decisions, make mistakes
if you fail, atleast you tried

8.) you'd never guess a girl so happy on the outside
is breaking down on the inside
a girl who laughs her head off everyday in school
you'd never guess she's covering up
a million tears behind her smile.

9.) I've learned that goodbyes will always hurt
pictures never replace having been there
memories, good or bad, will always bring tears
and words can never replace feelings

10.) if I could tell you one thing
I guess it would be that I love hearing your voice
and that your smile just happens to brighten my entire day

11.) ometimes it seems safer to hold it all inwhere the only person who can judge you is yourself
*********************************

12.) i don't get attached, i don't want a relationshipunless you can prove to me that not all guys are the same
no, your words don't mean anything to me
no, i can't trust you, and no, i don't believe you, yet
promises are nothing but spoken words to me
i know i'm not your one and only so don't say so
