I know how it is when someone disappoints you. It's tempting to see things the way you wish they were instead of how they are.

That's why love is madness. It's too easy to lose your mind when you lose your heart.

I don't know where I stand with you. And I don't know what I mean to you. All I know is every time I think of you, I want to be with you.

It's not about forcing happiness. It's about not letting sadness win. 

And to be blunt, I hope you know that it’s not me who will be regretting this someday. So darling, you can just sit right there and watch the best you’ve ever had walk away.

Don't dwell on memories; appreciate them for what they are, and for the person they've helped you become.

You don't choose who you fall for. You just fall and you get this person who is all wrong, but yet so right. You know that you like them so much, except sometimes they drive you insane and no one can explain.

Send the haters all my love—X and O.

It's taken me a long time to accept who he is and who he will never be.

Some feelings don't go away, they just get avoided.

I have a long list of things to say but I'll leave it at, you amaze me.

I promised myself that I will never regret that I met you, for liking you and for loving you. But because it is already hurting me, I tend to forget that promises are meant to be broken and indeed it was. 

I’d rather love someone I can’t have than have someone I can’t love.

And this is just one of those days where I don't understand you anymore. I'm not quite sure what you want or what you mean.. All I hear is the words you say but I don't understand a single letter of it.

Shit doesn't happen - life happens. Things go wrong, people change, & sometimes it feels like you can't go on. But, in the end, you have to stop blaming everyone else & put it on yourself to be happy, because it's your life & you have to make it through the hard times to get stronger.

Every step I take I leave a small piece of myself behind and soon there will be nothing left.

When I picked up the phone I realized that out of the billions of people on the planet, you were the one I wanted to speak to the most. It was like the deepest part of me took control and said what it felt, unafraid of embarrassment or rejection or any of that other stuff that normally leaves me paralyzed with fear. I didn’t think. I just was.

Whenever I'm around you I feel like I'm letting my guard down. It's dangerous, but still a strangely easy thing to do.

I know I'm not easy to understand. I know I keep a lot inside and I know I'm not the easiest person to read, but that's okay, because even though there's a lot about me you'll never know, there's a hell of a lot of me you can learn to love.

Too many girls want attention, not enough want respect. 

But don't forget who you really are. And I'm not talking about your so-called real name. All names are made up by someone else, even the one your parents gave you. You know who you really are. When you're alone at night, looking up at the stars, or maybe lying in your bed in total darkness, you know that nameless person inside you...Your muscles will toughen. So will your heart and soul. That's necessary for survival. But don't lose touch with that person deep inside you, or else you won't really have survived at all.

That's just what high school does, it changes people into the things they said they would never be.

 You see, I'm the bravest girl you'll ever meet, and yet I shrink down to nothing at the thought of someone really seeing me.

I hate getting close to people because I think they will just walk out of my life, no matter how close we were.

His lips tell me that he's afraid of what people will say, but his eyes tell me that he's fearless.

That's my problem. I don't talk to anybody about whats going on in my head, because I'm afraid they might not be able to take it.

 Shit happens. It is what it is. And sometimes, that's all we can say.

When you're feeling your worst, that's when you get to know yourself the best.

 

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

I want someone to care so much, even though I say that I don't. I push people away who start to love me because I know that if they stopped loving me, it would kill me.

She was a girl who knew how to be happy even when she was sad. And that's important. 

Just because someone isn't loving you how you want them to love you, doesn't mean they aren't loving you with all they have.

I think that you should give me a second chance, or eleventh or twelfth or wherever we were at. I think that I adore you, every facet of your mind, every awkward flaw in you, so much it scares the hell out of me.

When people walk away from you, let them go. Your destiny is never tied to someone who leaves you. & it doesn't mean they are bad people. it just means that their part in your story is over.

Keep fighting no matter how hard the battle will be to overcome.

That's what life is about. Those moments when you feel entirely carefree, like nothing can touch you. It's those moments that make the hard parts so worth it. It's moments like that that make this heartache bearable. I know it'll pass - my moments will come.

I'm so afraid to lose you, when you aren't even mine.

You don't get it do you? You made it so fucking easy to walk away. I never settle for less than I deserve. I deserve someone who actually cares. It took me way to long to realize that I was just some sort of game to you. I don't want some sort of apology, I just want you out of my life, even if that means forever.

You almost feel ashamed, that someone could be that important, that without them you feel like nothing.

You feel hopeless, like nothing can save you.

And when it's over and it's gone, you almost wish that you could have all that bad stuff back, so that you could have the good.

You tell me that you need me, then you go and cut me down.

Closed off from love, I didn't need the pain. Once or twice was enough.

You go around like you know who I am but you don't.

I'm hoping for the day you meet a girl who treats people like you do. I hope you fall for her, and I hope she makes you think she fell for you too. And while you're planning your life together, I hope she gets up and walks right out your front door. I hope you never see her again, and I hope that breaks your fucking heart. 

I can't believe you were the one to build me up and tear me down.

So many times I wished you'd be the one for me, but never knew you'd get like this, boyy what'd you do to me?

I know they said believe in love, it's a dream that can't be real. So girl let's write a fairy tale and show em how we feel.

Don't you worry beautiful, one day you're going to be able to wake up and not even think about him.

I guess the reason I think I'm nothing is because no one has ever fought for me. I believe that if I was really, truly, worth it, that somewhere along this road, someone would've fought for me to stay, but instead, I always wound up walking away.

Don't sweat it, just remember, diamonds can only be made under pressure.

Don't even worry about people who don't care enough to worry about you.

It's the worst feeling in the world to love and hate someone all at the same time. And it's hard to watch things change when all you want is for them to stay the same. It's funny but stupid how you want everything and nothing at the same time. It's crazy when you want to let go, but you keep holding on. And when you want to move on, but you're stuck right where you started. When feelings come and go and you can't decide what you want. When you have so many things to say but you don't know where to start. When you want them in your life so bad, but all you can do is push them farther and farther away. It's so hard to think back to how things used to be and look at it now and realize that things are different and they may never be the same. You tell yourself it's not worth it, but if it really didn't matter, you wouldn't spend so much time thinking about it.

You have to get hurt. That’s how you learn. The strongest people out there, the ones who laugh the hardest with a genuine smile, those are the people who have fought the toughest battles. Because they’ve decided that they’re not going to let anything hold them down, they’re showing the world who's the boss.

We all need a little help sometimes. Someone to help us hear the music in the world. To remind us that it won't always be this way. That someone is out there. That someone will find you.

Sometimes pain becomes such a big part of your life that you expect it to always be there, because you can't remember a time in your life when it wasn't.

Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.

There are moments in your life that make you & set the course of who you're going to be. Sometimes they're little, subtle moments. Sometimes, they're big moments you never saw coming. No one asks for their life to change, but it does. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are.

I can't tell you why the people that have meant the most to me pop up at the weirdest times. But I have a feeling in my heart that those people are meant to be in my life, because no matter how long we don't talk, no matter how much we argue, things go back to normal no matter what. 

You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind; but you can change yourself. That is something that you have charge of.

I hate the feeling when you really don't have any emotion. You feel so empty. You're not happy, you're not sad. You're nothing. When your mind is spinning, but you can't feel anything.

When people show up in your dreams, it's not because they want something from you, it's because you want something from them.

We become attached to what's familiar, and sometimes we hold onto things that are safe and predictable, even if they are bad for us.

Please don't get me wrong, because I'll never let this go but I can't find the words to tell you. I don't want to be alone but now I feel like I don't know you.

One day you'll get sick of saying that everything's alright and by then I'm sure I'll be pretending, just like I am tonight.

When the walls cave in, we only have ourselves to blame.

At the end of the day, I want to be able to fall 
asleep knowing that our lives are intertwined in a way only we can understand. 

We sometimes underestimate the power of the little things.

Don't let compliments go to your head and criticisms to your heart.

See, you and I have a better time than most can dream of, better than the rest and so we can pull on through. Whatever tears us, whatever holds us down, and if nothing can be down, we'll make the best of what's around.

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.

Sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.

Life is better lived forwards but better understood backwards. 

The prettiest smiles hide the deepest secrets. The prettiest eyes have cried the most tears. And the kindest hearts have felt the most pain.

People are always gonna try and bring you down below them, but smile when they're staring and show them who's strong.

There are so many different types of friends. The friends that come in your life for a year, the best friends that come and stay for a while but will eventually leave in high school. Then there’s the forever friends, the kind that come into your life, make a huge impact, and never leave.

There's something about him- even I can't quite place a finger on exactly how I feel for him. Love and hate are very close. The boundaries between them are barely even there.

At this age, everything is changing. Day by day we don’t notice, but just look back over the past year and you will realize everything has. People you thought were going to be there forever, aren’t, and people you never imagined you’d be speaking to are now some of your closest friends. Life makes little sense, and the more we grow the less sense it will make. So make the most of it now, before it all changes once again, because in the near future, all of this is only going to be memories.

Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that's strength.

Keep smiling, and one day life will get tired of upsetting you.

I can't even pretend to concentrate on anything else when you smile at me.

I think that one of the hardest lessons there is to learn is that even after someone puts you down, you gotta learn to wake up the next morning with your head held high.

You are more than what you're going through.

I'm never letting this one go because, often, certain people enter our lives at the most peculiar times for the most beautiful reasons. They seem to make the most perfect impressions while leaving us behind an everlasting impact. Some of the best things in life appear when you least expect them, things you can never forget.

Look, lots of people lose themselves in love. It's no shame. They write songs about it. The hitch is, you can't stay lost. Sooner or later, you have to get back to yourself.

Haters hate only the things they can't have and the people they can't be.

Life is imperfect, but everyone always strives to look perfect, be perfect, have the perfect moment, and it's all make-believe. So in reality, life is a fairytale, but not the normal kind of fairy tale that's written about in kids' books; the imperfect kind of fairytale that no one wants to hear about, but they need to. Because that's life and it's the only way you're going to learn.

I have never been strong enough to stay. People say that walking away is the hardest thing to do, but it isn't. Staying, even when you know it will break your heart, is the hardest thing. Staying right where you are, waiting for your entire world to be ripped into pieces is much harder than walking away and starting a new one.

Everyone is fighting their own battle; to be free from their past, to live in their present, and to create their future. So, have heart.

I promise that one day you'll meet a person who completely stops you in your tracks and takes your breath away. It's going to be so unexpected but just remember to not let the moment pass. They don't occur often.

If someone messes up, let them know. but if they keep messing up, let them go.

Nobody is ever 'fine'. Fine is a bullshit word that people use when they are fed up with being asked 'what's wrong?'

Sometimes there's nothing to say. Sometimes silence expresses more than words. Picking up the phone, dialing a number.. it can do more damage than good but humans are afflicted with this obsessive desire, to talk things to death. So we make things worse, just by trying to make it better.

I spent so long trying to get over you. So long trying to convince myself you're not the one for me. And guess what? It still isn’t working.

I used to be a strong girl. But a lot has changed, a lot has happened, and I’ve had to deal with so much more than any person should ever have to go through, and you know something? I finally broke. Everything around me crashed, and I fell right with it. I'm not that strong anymore.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become. 

Without you, tomorrows wouldn't be worth the wait and yesterdays don't deserve to be remembered.

Life is all about balance. Too much and too little can hurt. The best way to balance life is by setting your boundaries in learning to say enough.

My head constantly tells me not to be so stupid, but my heart won't listen.

As soon as I start thinking about getting it together, I get this mad craving desire to fuck it up.

Be confident in front of him, who you love. Because if you don’t, you’ll regret the ending.

The first time you fall in love it changes you life forever and no matter how hard you try, the feeling never goes away. 

Beware of getting what you want. It’s bound to disappoint you.

Every girl before me was a mistake. Every girl after me is a downgrade.

I just keep telling myself that there will be a significant moment when I finally know what to do.

We may not be able to stop all evil in the world, but I know that how we treat one another is entirely up to us. 

Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.

It sucks, you know? When everything is doing fine then, it all crashes again. And the worst part is, I really don't want to try and put it all back together again, but I have to.

I thought if someone breaks you, someone will come and fix it. But I was wrong. Sometimes, they come to break you more and make you feel the pain twice as before.

I saw him staring at me. Not glancing but blatantly staring. And I wondered if he was staring at the wreckage he created or if maybe, just maybe, he regretted hurting me in the first place.

Confidence is what makes a girl beautiful, not showing off. Make you sure you know the difference. 

Impossible is a choice you choose to make when you have nowhere else to turn.

Men and women have the innate ability to bring out the poison in one another.

If you ask yourself the question, "was it really worth the pain?" The answer might surprise you because the sun is worth the rain.

We lose people we love because they are meant to love someone else. We lose them because we are destined to find somebody else. It is a simple fact that is sometimes hard to accept because we are too stupid to let go.

It's hard to accept the truth when the lies were exactly what you wanted to hear. 

Sometimes you meet someone, and before you know their name, before you know where they're from, you know that sometime in the future, this person is going to mean something to you.

I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe in. There I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about me.

Holding back your feelings may save you from others, but it will never save you from yourself.

Always accept and feel comfortable with your flaws, that way no one can ever use them against you.

Don't lie to someone just to keep yourself away from trouble, because lying wouldn't help your future. Telling the truth will make you a better person.

I'd like to think I never did those things, or never said that to you. But the truth is, I did and that's apart of me. I make mistakes, and I know who I am because of them. I lost you because of it, but to lose you meant to gain myself.

Never lose perspective. Be grateful and appreciative. Be thankful and giveback. Always remember where you came from and how you got there. 

Before you, I was never so emotional. No one could make me cry, and no one made me think so hard. But now the tears flow like rain from the saddest sky there is, and my frantic thoughts are tearing me apart. I'm not going to let it end this way. I'm done feeling sorry for myself, and I'm done being broken, and I'm done letting you make me feel like that at all. I'm going to make myself stronger,no matter how I have to do it, because these thoughts are enough to drive someone insane, and I'm not going to let that be me anymore. I'm taking a stand.

People think it's holding on that makes you stronger, but sometimes, it's letting go that shapes you.

I tried so hard. You know that right? I tried harder than you could ever imagine, and now here I am, trying my best just to forget everything. Every piece of you, the way you smell, the feel of your skin. I can still feel you. I think I always will.

Be happy in front of people who don't like you, it kills them inside.

Sometimes the only person who can make you stop crying is the one who made you cry.

When someone walks out of your life, let them. There's no use in wasting your time on people that leave you. What you make of yourself and you future is no longer tied to them. Yeah you may miss them, but remember that you weren't the first one to give up.

When you lose someone, it stays with you. Always reminding you of how easy it is to get hurt.

Always seems like after all is said and done, more things are actually said then done.

Don't flirt with someone you don't like. Sure, you're making them happy for that second, but you're also giving them false hopes. It'll be better if you showed them honestly and told them straight up that you're not interested. Don't get someone's hopes up when you know for a fact you're just gonna crash them down. If you're a flirt and can't help yourself, you might as well not talk to them at all. 

One day she'll start sending you mixed signals, and you'll get mad because she finally learned how to play your game.

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

They say keep your friends close but your enemies closer. Problem is nowadays, you can't tell them apart

If someone makes you happy, then the rest shouldn't even matter.

It's hard to pretend to be friends with someone special, when every time you look at that person, all you see is everything you want to have.

Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it.

There is no way to be a hundred percent sure about anyone or anything. So you’re left with a choice. Either hope for the best or just expect the worst.

Our days are better when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our minds.

Most people have a harder time letting themselves love than finding someone to love them.

Don't go the extra mile for someone who isn't even worth the run. 

Don't let her go to sleep upset. Because, she'll only toss and turn in frustration until sadness pulls her into sleep, and tears stain her pillow. You'll never be her first thought when she wakes up, and more than anything she'll wish she could go back to sleep, back to the silence, to the empty blackness. Don't do this to her, she's worth so much more, if she wasn't, she wouldn't care. 

The scariest thing about memories, is thinking you're going to forget them.

It doesn't matter how many times you fall, it just matters how many times you get back up.

You know for most of my life I would have gone through this alone, but then I met you. And I finally found someone I could depend on. So I guess I called you because I wanted to know if you were still there.

The worst feeling in the world is when you know you are losing someone and there is nothing that you can do to prevent being replaced.

If you love someone, be brave enough to tell them or be brave enough to watch them be loved by someone else.

You can't stop the feelings you have for someone. You can't lie to yourself either. Your heart knows the truth all too well. 

The person who loves you the most will make you feel valued, even when you least deserve it.

Note to self: people make mistakes and they're going to disappoint you, especially the people who love you most. But if you can't forgive them for not being perfect, you're going to end up alone.  

 So many girls fall in love with the wrong guy, simply because the wrong guy usually says all the right things. 

What a wonderful thought it is that some of the best days of our lives haven't happened yet.

When I begin to push you away emotionally, you know I am getting attached. Please hold on tighter.

Did you know the heart has no pain receptors? So the next time someone breaks your heart, move on. Your pain is just an illusion, a temporary psychological disturbance that you have to overcome in short, it's all in the mind.

I guess it's hard for people who are so used to things the way they are, even if they're bad, to change. Because they kind of give up. And when they do, everybody kind of loses.

Never look back. If Cinderella had went back to pick up her shoe, she wouldn't have become a princess.

I am too intelligent, too demanding, and too resourceful for anyone to be able take charge of me entirely. No one knows me or love me completely. I only have myself.

Stop over thinking  everything, stop letting your mind create things that's never happened. The more you think, the more you actually start to believe the lies you come up with.

Life can be extremely hard at times, people will lie, back stab you, and put you down. But always keep your head up, smile, and never let them know what hurts you the most.

I don't compete. You either want me in your life or you don't. I'm not going to be one of those individuals who put their life on hold while you try and figure it out who you'd rather be with. Treat me like a priority, and I'm all yours. Treat me like an option though, and I'll leave. It's as simple as that.

I'm scared. Completely terrified actually. Scared of what will happen if I see you again & scared of what will happen if I don't. While you are at home thinking about him, you can be sure that he's having a good time not thinking about you.

The most painful part of leaving someone you really love is knowing that they'll never come after you.

Knowing is the easy part; saying it out loud is the hard part.

If there's one thing I could take away from my previous relationships it would be to search for a beautiful heart, not necessarily a beautiful face. Beautiful people are not always good, but good people are always beautiful. There is nothing more beautiful than an intelligent, hard-working, independent, respectful man. It's hard to say you deserve better when you, ladies, are in control of what you deserve.

Stop focusing so much on needing someone, and work on being the one someone needs.

I'm not sure what to do about you. The feeling has never stopped. I've always wanted to be with you, and I've always had a thing for you. It fades in and out, but it never really goes away. 

You thought I couldn't do this without you, but guess what, I sleep great at night now. I don't hurt because you're not here. I just had to learn to accept it and move on, and I did.

You should never give yourself a chance to fall apart. Because when you do, it becomes a tendency. And it happens over and over again. You must practice staying strong instead.

No one can hurt me anymore. In fact, no one can even come close because I just don't care anymore. About anything. I wake up & don't care what I wear. I don't care what I do on the weekends. I just go through the motions. So I sure as hell don't care what you do with your life anymore.

I suffer in silence. I don’t cry in front of people. I can smile despite how bad things are. I will always put you before me. I leave my phone on at night just in case someone needs me. It’s because I love everyone else more than I could ever love myself. What can I say, I’m just a screw up with a good heart.

If he acts like you're not worth his time maybe you're not what he wants. You're just a replacement for what he can't have.

What is truly yours will eventually be yours, and what is not, no matter how hard you try, will never be.

Love is when you look into someone’s eyes and suddenly you go all the way inside to their soul, and you both just know. Instantly.

Sometimes I wonder if maybe we'll ever get back together, and then I realize that we'll never really be over, in a way it hasn't changed, but in some ways, it has, its not that we aren't meant for each other, I think its just maybe we aren't ready for forever.

I learned a lesson from it though, you never see it coming you just get to see it go.

Growing up is never easy. You hold on to things that were. You wonder what’s to come. But that night, I think we knew it was time to let go of what had been, and look ahead of what would be. Other days. New days. Days to come. The thing is, we didn’t have to hate each other for getting older. We just had to forgive ourselves for growing up.

But the struggles make you stronger and the changes make you wise. And happiness has its own way of taking its sweet time.

The best make up is a smile. The best jewelry is modesty. The best clothing is confidence.

Just because someone broke your heart does not mean that someone else cannot repair it.

She wants to be the exception, you know? That girl he falls for despite his guarded heart. The one he’ll break down and admit his feelings for, even if he has that whole unattainable bad boy thing going on. She wants to be his risk, his weakness. She wants to be his.

I pushed you away because I knew that if you stayed, I could never turn you down. You are the most beautiful and most terrible things that's ever happened to me, and you will always have my heart.

Instead of holding you, I was holding out. I should've let you in, but I let you down. You were the first to give; I was the first to ask. Now I'm in second place, to get a second chance.

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.

One more chance to make it right, I think I'm using it right now.

I'm thinking that sometimes you just have to make the decision to be happy. Just realize that things aren't ever what you hoped they'd be. Not ever. For anybody. The only thing that separates one kind of person from another is that there are some who stay angry about it and there are some who accept what comes their way.

Can't lose what you never had, can't keep what's not yours, and can't hold on to something that does not want to stay.

This is so messed up, but if you give me all your love, then we'll show angels up above that we can make it out alive.

Everyday, I am in desperate need of pretending I'm over you.

We waste time looking for a perfect lover instead of creating a perfect love. 

Sadness is nothing more than the negative form of happiness. Happiness is the state of heart and sadness is the state of mind.

Don't depend on others for happiness. Be good with yourself. Be happy with yourself. You are the ultimate source of your own happiness.

Sometimes the people you think don't want to talk to you, are the ones waiting for you to talk to them.

Why do we miss a person? It's either because we realize that we never treasured the moments when they were always there and it left us wishing we could turn back time again. Or we were too happy with them, we enjoyed every single moment, that we became so used to the idea of having them around.

Never give your time to someone if that one never respects your feelings.

The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was and the present worse than it is.

I want to go back in time, shake hands with who you used to be, then turn around and walk away with my middle finger in the air to the person you are now.

We go days without having a meaningful conversation, and I use to miss you so much when that happened. But it never seemed like you missed me. And I guess because of it, I stopped missing you.

People say everything everything happens for a reason but it would be nice to know of the reasons why.

You treat me like I'm nothing, then expect me to be there when you come back. I've got news for you, I am never going to be here for you again.

You know, ever since I first met him, I always thought, 'man, I hope I don't mess this up.' Because that's what I do. I mess things up. But you know what I never thought? I never thought, 'I hope this doesn't mess me up.'

I do all types of stupid shit. I can't change the way I think, & I'm not going to change the way I am. But if I offended you, good, cause I still don't give a fuck.

Maybe that’s what it all comes down to, Love, not as a surge of passion, but as a choice to committing to something, someone, no matter what obstacles or temptations stand in the way. And maybe making that choice, again and again, day in and day out, year after year, says more about love than never having a choice to make at all.

I think of the things I want to change, but I know they won't. And I imagine how I want everything to be, and it just makes me sad that it's not that way.

It’s important to know when a relationship has run its course. Sometimes all you can say is, "I’ve learned all I can learn from this person and we've grown all we can together, it's time to move on."

Sometimes I see reasons aren't really reasons. Sometimes they're just stupid, nonsense, never ending excuses.

There is always a soft spot in my heart for you; even when you've done wrong, even when you've let me down, even when you couldn't care less. 

Everyone has their weak spot. The one thing that, despite your best efforts, will always bring you to your knees, regardless of how strong you are otherwise.

I want you to tell me I'm wrong. And I just want you to smile at me when I'm right.

Always find something to be grateful for. Think about what you are grateful for every day. If you can’t find anything, think about the children starving in Africa, I bet you will find something after that.

Learn to give up if you think you've already done your part. Goodbye is not really an end, but a new life you deserve to have.

Learn from your past, move on, grow stronger. People are fake, but let your trust last longer. Do what you have to do, but always stay true, and never let anyone get the best of you. 

And you've got a lot to say, for the one that walked away.

When we don't know who to hate, we hate ourselves.

The harder you want to forget something, the more you seem to remember it.

Maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated. 

A bad mistake becomes a good lesson, if you learn from it.

I just want to know if you meant everything you said. I don’t’ want you back, I don’t want an apology, I just want the truth. I want to know if what we had was even worth fighting for in the first place. I want to know if I cross your mind, I want to know if you realize just how much you messed up.

And I could produce for your future, I could co-direct your past.

Follow your heart regardless of what others tell you to do; It's how you feel at the end of the day that matters most. 

Keep moving, don’t stand still. Always strive for taking action. The longer you stand still the harder it is going to be to start moving again. Do whatever it takes to take action toward your dreams. Even if it is something small, small steps add up into massive success over time.

Don't say you fucking care about me, because you don't. You don't put somebody you care about through hell. You don't sit there and watch someone you "care" about break down and become completely destroyed. So don't fucking say you care.

I've tried to hate you, blame you for all of this, but no matter what I do, in the end I know that I've brought all this hurt upon myself.

Worrying won't keep the bad stuff from happening. It just keeps you from enjoying the good. 

If you want me, show me. Saying it is one thing, but showing me is what really counts. Don't just leave me hanging on thinking that you and I actually have a future together. Actions always speak louder than words, always.

The hardest task in the world is convincing yourself you don't care, when in all actuality, you know with your entire being that you do.

He's gonna be so sorry he lost you, so stop worrying. Forget the past, forget the pain, and remember what an incredible woman you are. When you do that, is when he realize what he's lost.

If you make me an option, I will reassure you, I'll make you just a memory.

Some days you'll feel sad without knowing why. Like you lost something very precious but forgot what it was, or like you miss someone you never met. 

The worst feeling is pretending you don't care about something, when really it's all you think about.

I hope that someday, somebody wants to hold you for twenty minutes straight, and that's all they do. They don't pull away, they don't look at your face, they don't try to kiss you. All they do is wrap you up in their arms, without an ounce of selfishness in it

I guess a big part of growing up is dealing with regret. Swallowing your pride. There are some things in life you can't go back and change, no matter how much you want to.

Make yourself a blessing to someone. Your kind smile or pat on the back might pull somebody back from the edge.

In life we must know where to stand, when to stand and what to stand about.

A conversation is a risk. A real conversation changes the people who have it. It's about exchanging ideas, considering other opinions, shifting positions. That's why conversations are so difficult. You risk changing yourself, admitting you were wrong, coming to appreciate the other person's perspective.

It’s kind of sad that I have learned to deal with things like this. Sometimes, being strong means being heartless.

Cause he's the king of mixed signals, and I'm the queen of second thoughts.

You kiss a hell of a lot better than you listen. Maybe that's why I can't get enough of you. It's true when they say old habits are hard to break, but you'll always remain nothing but my most tempting mistake.

The hurt began to fade and it was easier to just let go. At least I thought it was. But in everybody I’ve met in the past few years, I found myself looking for you.

I guess after a while of ignoring, we get tired of being angry, and instead we feel sad. We get reminded once in a while why we're not talking in the first place, but there comes a point where there's no more anger, just disappointment. 

Focus on what you want, ignore what you don’t want. What you focus on multiplies and grows in your life.

Learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can - there will always come a time when you will be grateful you did.

Don't ever apologize for something that wasn't your fault. The right sort of person won't want your apology, and the wrong sort of person will take advantage of it.

You're the first person that broke my heart. For the rest of my life you will always be the one who hurt me the most. Don't forget that.

Don’t remember why you love me? Please allow me to remind you.

So you go back, you always go back to the last point when you were happy. And you hang on.

Hating is a waste of time because it requires you to give a fuck about things that aren’t worth the fucks you are giving.

Don't worry, you may think you'll never get over it, but then again, you also thought it would last forever.

You let people go, you move on, become happy again but somewhere  somehow they show up again and turn your entire world upside down.

I do want someone, need someone. You’re right. And, when I’m with you, I feel like I’m a better person. I feel happier. Less alone, less lonely. But it’s not as simple as that, is it? Being with someone?

If you find it necessary to judge me by my past, don't be surprised when I put you there. 

You give me more courage than anyone I have ever known. I'd skydive off a plane if I knew you'd be there right beside me. That's what life is about. It's those moments when you feel entirely carefree, like nothing can touch you. It's those moments that make the hard parts worth it, those moments when I'm with you.

I love the chase, I can't like someone without having to work for it. It's like if they're right in front of me, it's not worth it.

Assume that people are good until you actually and specifically learn differently. And even then, know that they have the potential for change and that you can help them out.

The worst part is that there’s so many things that remind me of you. right when I think I’m doing well life slaps me in the face. almost as if it’s mocking me that I don’t have you in my life anymore.

You've gotten so caught up in being alone that you're afraid of what might happen if you actually find someone else that can take you away from it.

Never chase anyone. A person who truly appreciates you will walk with you and won't need to be chased.

Avoiding something doesn't always mean that you hate it. It could also mean that you want it, but you just know it isn't right. 

I'm so ready to let go, just move on, and be happy. But there is always this little shred of.. well maybe he'll want me tomorrow. 

Sometimes you don't want to know the truth. You may think you do, but once you know, you'd give just about anything to go back to being oblivious.

It's hard to accept the truth when the lies were exactly what you wanted to hear.  

Smile beautifully. Smile big. Smile confidently. That way everyone thinks you’ve got all kinds of secret things going on.That keeps them wanting more. And when they want more, you’re automatically interesting.

Do something every day to get out of your comfort zone. This is the only way to grow and learn. Fear is your biggest enemy on the way to your dreams. The more you go out of your comfort zone the less you fear. You cannot succeed if you always stay in your comfort zone. Make it a point to do something every day, even if it is something small, to get out of your comfort zone.

With every breath of her tired yawn you can tell she's tired, tired of what life has put her through. She's been knocked down, and now she's done. It's ok girl, if you aren't always strong.

You very rarely get everything you want in life, but when you don’t fight for it, you have even less of a chance.

There is always that one person you wish you could be with, even after knowing that person doesn’t want to be with you.

Don’t do something permanently stupid because you’re temporarily upset.

I have learned the difference between a promise and a memory. Promises are something that we break, and a memory is something completely breaks us.

Erase the messages, delete the numbers and move on. You don’t have to forget them; just accept that they aren’t that person anymore.

You sit there, waiting for something life-changing to happen, but I can tell you something, if you keep on sitting; it won't. 

Mayday Parade

I promise I'll be just as strong as I can be. Maybe you could get some sleep tonight.

And I'll just smile, and make believe I don't feel a thing.

It's not the first time but this one really carved it in. 

And I'll be what you need, you can call me anything just as long as we're still friends.

But this just wasn't any kiss, I hope you're still not over this not at least until I get over you.

But if there's one real thing you would choose to believe, just don't lose your faith in me.

She's got broken things where her heart should be and I keep rolling them over in my head.

You've got me on the edge to jump for you.

If you believe that everything's alright, you won't be all alone tonight.

Can you tell, I haven't slept very well since the last time that we spoke, you said, "Please understand if I see you again don't even say hello."

I still can't believe we both did some things, I don't even wanna think about. Just say you love me and I'll say "I'm sorry, I don't want anybody else to feel this way."

How can you love without ever losing it all? Don't put your faith in this when you won't believe it.

Where did you go? How will you find yourself when your hand to hold is letting go?

And I’d love to make it right, but there are things I can’t control. 

There's the people you've known forever. Who know you in this way that other people can't. Because they've seen you change. They've let you change. 

Some people, no matter how old they get,  never lose their beauty. They merely move it from their faces to their hearts.

I wonder where I would be today, if I hadn't met you.

You wonder why I don't talk to you anymore and please believe me when I say it's not that I don't want to, it's just that everything I want to say i can't tell you anymore.

The children have to save themselves these days because the parents have no clue.

If your presence doesn't make an impact, your absence won't make a difference.

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.

To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved.

The worst feeling is when someone makes you feel special then suddenly leaves you hanging, and you have to act like you don't care at all.

Words don't mean shit if your actions contradict.

You can have whatever you are willing to struggle for.

There are always sides. There is always a winner and a loser. For every person who gets, there's someone who must give.

Throughout my life, I have always been afraid of losing the people I love, but then, sometimes I wonder is there anyone out there afraid of losing me?

I can truly say, that it is not you, it is me. You can't cage a bird when they're made to be free.

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.

Nobody could hurt me like I knew he could hurt me, but there's no one in this world that I want more.

"Just because you fall once, doesn't mean you fall at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always trust yourself, because if you don't then, who will?"  -Marylin Monroe

It used to kill me to go a day without talking to you. Well, kid, I can't even remember the last time we spoke, and guess what? I'm still alive.
 

If I could say one last thing to you, I'd tell you thanks for letting me go, because you set my heart free and you led me into his.

Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

Forget your troubles, they are all in the past and the people that hurt you, they were never meant to last.

Being defeated is often temporary, giving up makes it permanent.

The best advice I can give is just to keep moving forward and don't give a shit what anybody thinks. Just do what you have to do- for you.

Remember, your friends won't give you the right advice until they've been through what you've been through.

He left. After months & months of claiming you were his everything, & the best thing that ever happened to him. I know it sucks, but maybe him leaving was a good thing. Maybe God knew that you deserved better, and you would never get anything better until you could let him go. & if a guy could ever even think of leaving you, that proves right there that he never deserved you anyway.

You never know what you have 'till its gone. Treated you wrong for so long now you've gone away, but the love still lives here.

Sometimes no matter how much faith we have, we lose people. But even though you lose them, you never forget them, and sometimes its those memories that give us the strength to go on.

Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but we wish we didn’t.

Sometimes you gotta stand by your failures to recognize your success.

It’s not that I’m mad at you. I had just wished and hoped so hard that you could be the one thing I could finally count on.

For the first time in my life I'm not worrying about what you're doing or how you are doing. I'm not wondering if she makes you happy, or if you have even found someone to make you happy the way I did. I know I was the best thing that ever happened to you. I know you're lost without me, and that's okay. Because I realized that I am so much more without you.

I'm breaking down because I'm sick of trying to be good enough, and I'm done trying to be. 

We want what we can't have, we crave those who hurt us, and we desire the touch of those who reject us. Human nature: the kiss of death. Itleads us all to suffering, and nothing but.

I wish falling in love had traffic lights, so that I would know if I should go for it, slow down, or just stop.

There's a little bit of you in all of this.

Everybody just keeps on moving on in this crazy, messed up world. That's all you can do anyways.  You keep smiling, you keep moving, you just keep on living.  Cause who knows, you might just be the only thing keeping somebody else from stopping.  You might be someone's everything & not even know it.  If you stop moving, what's to keep them from stopping too?

And all you need to know is, you've got me. When your world is crashing down, & it seems like you've got no one around, you've got me.

The trouble with resisting temptation is that you may not get another chance.

I don't hate you because you left. I hate you because you pretended that you wouldn't.

Everyone you know will one day pry your fingers from the raft and watch you drown, it’s the way of the world. Everyone.. except me.

Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the doers, the planners, the successful, people with their feet on the ground and their heads in a cloud. Let their spirits ignite a fire within you to leave this world a better place than you found it.

Bad days are bad days, and we can't let bad days define us.

Love is a like sickness. It's easy to catch; but hard to get rid of. And sometimes, it doesn't have a cure.

There’s a reason why two people stay together. They give each other something nobody else can.

Sometimes everything needs to fall apart before it can really fit together right.

I think you know when it's really over. Even though there's a small part of you hoping he'll come back. Not because you want to be with him, just so you know if you're worth another shot, while a big part of you knows you aren't.

You can't always wait for the perfect time. Sometimes, you have dare to do it because life's too short to wonder what could have been.

If you start to miss me, remember, I didn't walk away. You let me go.

The question isn't who's going to let me; it's who's going to stop me.

"As you go through life, you'll see there is so much more that we don't understand, and the only thing we know is thing's don't always go the way we planned." -The Lion King

A heart that craves, gets lost in everything; and a heart that needs, finds hope in anything.

When you want something you've never had, you have to do something you've never done.

There isn't a moment of my day that isn't spent wondering where you are, what you're doing or how you're feeling. Even in the quiet of the night, when everything is still and I am nearly asleep, there is a part of me that is still wondering.

I feel comfortable around you. When I was with you, I didn't have to be perfect. I didn't even have to try for perfect. You already knew all my secrets.. the things I kept hidden from everyone else. So I was able to finally just be myself. Which probably shouldn't have been such a big deal. But it was.

I love talking to you, knowing that you get me. And every time I talk to someone else it just reminds me of how much they don't.

I believe in you, even if no one understands.

Overthinking will ruin you. Ruin the situation, turn things around, make you worry, and just make things worse than they are.

Don't spend your time on and give your heart to any guy who makes you wonder about anything related to his feelings for you.

She wasn't like anyone he'd met before. He was sure he wanted to never let go of her hand; their fingers seemed to fit together just right- effortlessly clasped, like perfect compliments.

So, from now on, when you think of me, just remember that I could've been the best thing you ever had.

You never know what you have until you lose it. And once you lose it, you can never get it back.

I was just another promise you couldn't keep.

I wear my heart on my sleeve, but I'm not naive. I know what it feels like to be completely broken and I'm all too familiar with what it feels like to hurt. I know what it's like to see something funny and not laugh. I've been taken advantage of and used. My feelings have been completely disregarded, but I still believe all people are good at heart, and my trust has not diminished. To be honest, I hope it never does.

People think that holding on makes you stronger, but sometimes it's letting go.

Sometimes you have to watch the broken pieces fall, no matter how much you want to fix them. Sometimes you have to let someone walk away, even though all you want is for them to stay.

If you take a risk and it pays off, you'll be happy. If you take a risk and it doesn't, you'll be wiser.

It's hard to get over people, I mean really get over them. You can start to have feelings for other people, but it doesn't mean you're over them. It just means you're moving on.

No one has the power to make things perfect but we all have countless chances to make things right.

You can't go back. You can only remember. But sometimes that's what hurts the most. Remembering how things were, and how they will never be the same.

I never want to be apart from you, but I know that at some point in my life, I might have to be. I want you to know that I am okay with that. I know I might not seem like I am, and that the thought of you leaving me makes me cry, but in all honesty, I just want you to be happy. I never want to be apart from you, but if I have to be, my memories of you of us, and knowing I'll see you again soon, will keep me going. 

You never lose yourself, you just forget who you are.

You can't have a relationship without any fights, but you can make your relationship worth the fight.

See this smile? It's as fake as your promises.

Just stay, I'll say all I need is you.

I’m scared that I’m gonna end up alone, I’m scared that I’m always gonna be someone’s friend or sister or confidant, but never quite someone’s everything.

They say you're life is up to you, it's all your choice what happens. But you don't choose who affects you the most, who makes you laugh the most, who makes you cry the most, who you fall in love with, or who breaks your heart.  Your life is not completely up to you, because these people are the ones that shape your life and send it in the direction it goes.

Being single does not mean you weak; sometimes it means that you're just strong enough to wait for what you really deserve. 

Let's get this straight. You don't know me. That girl you knew, she left... Just like you did.

So if you’re going to fall, you better fall hard, fear nothing. And if you’re going to love, you better love hard, hold nothing back.

Everybody has opinions, ideas, & beliefs. It's a true test of a person's character when they throw all these things aside, just to make sure they can keep you.

It's hard imagining that I could be alone forever, you know. I just want to be with you.  And you, you just want to be with her. And she, she just doesn't want anything.  She doesn't know how good she's got it right now.
