live your life.

What you need to do is be thankful for the life that you got.
You know what I'm sayin'.
Stop lookin' at what you ain't got
and start bein' thankful for what you do got.

kind of the same thing.

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy ice cream
and it’s kind of the same thing.

graduating.

We're graduating from high school
...not from each other.

it's because you're gay.

a good friend will comfort you when he rejects you,
but a best friend will go up to him and say,
"it's because you're gay, isn't it?"

capture the memories.

she was the girl who always carried
around a camera to capture the memories
because she was always afraid that people might forget them.

a teenager.

A teenager is a person who
can't remember to walk the dog, but never forgets a phone number.
a weight watcher who goes on a diet by giving up candy bars before breakfast.
a youngster who receives her allowance on Monday, spends it on Tuesday,
& borrows it from her best friend on Wednesday.
someone who can hear her favourite band three blocks away,
but not her mother calling from the next room.
a whiz who can operate the latest computer without a lesson,
but can't make a bed.
a student who spends twelve minutes studying history,
& twelve hours studying for her driver's license.
an enthusiast who has the energy to bike four miles,
but is usually too tired to dry the dishes.
a young woman who loves the cat & tolerates the brother.
a romantic who never falls in love more than once a week.
a budding beauty who never smiles until her braces come off.
a boy who can sleep till noon
on any Saturday he suspects the lawn needs mowing.
& an original thinker who is positive that her mother was never a teenager.

punch them in the face.

if someone breaks your heart, just punch them in the face.
oh sure, it seems obvious now,
but you'd be amazed how many people don't think of it when it's relevant.

seriously...
just punch them in the face and go get some ice cream.

move the f*ck on.

You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, even months analyzing a situation trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could've, should've, or would've happened. Or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the fuck on.

terrible day.

just because today is a terrible day,
doesn't mean tomorrow won't be the best day of your life.
you just gotta get there.

set it free.

if you love something, set it free.
if it doesn't come back to you..hunt it down and kill it.

(I saw this on a button at my dad's.  I enjoyed it greatly.)

it's time to live.

sometimes we get so caught up in the bad,
that we look right past the good.
sometimes we're so stuck in the darkness,
that we forget about the light.
sometimes we chase the past so long,
that we completely miss the present.
maybe it's time we learned to live to be free,
to appreciate what's good and forget about what's bad.

maybe it's time to live.

friends are everything.

immature, do anything & everything
even if it's something you'll regret the next day
sleep late & when you wake up;
you can laugh about it with your friends.
because friends are what matter most
& when you have friends,
..you have everything
