There’s something about the look in your eyes.
Something I noticed when the light was just right.
It reminded me twice that I was alive,
And it reminded me that you’re so worth the fight.

overcome anything.
Hypothetically if you were point A
and theoretically if I was point B,
we would be, we would be frantically melting
into one massive point
that could overcome anything

I'm two days behind on this? Oh well. This one is good enough to cover a few days...
I love you

open your heart.
If someone loves you, give love back to them in whatever way you can. Not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to everything.

live for today.
Never forget yesterday, but always live for today. Because you never know what tomorrow can bring, or what it can take away.

didn't have to.
What have I gotten into this time around?
I know that I had sworn I'd never trust anyone again but I didn't have to
You had me at hello
- a day to remember (you had me at hello)

good things.
Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more;
whine less, breathe more; talk less, say more;
hate less, love more; and all good things are yours.

hate less, love more; and all good things are yours.

new year.
An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.

what if.
Do you ever sit and think what if? What if you had never said the first hello, or what if your paths never crossed? What if you had just five more minutes. What if you could turn back time and make it all stand still. Where would you be? Better? Worse? Less confused? More confused? Happier? Or sadder? Just what if..

scares you.
I'm slacking off...
Tuesday January 20th
Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself.
Monday January 19th
Do one thing every day that scares you.

not the critic.
Oops, missed a day...
Sunday January 18th
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

quotes do many different things for people. some inspire, some let us remember, some allow us to dream, some remind us we're alive, some make us laugh, some bring tears to our eyes, and some mean nothing to us other than letters and spaces on a blank page. we all have a favourite quote, too. and whether we like it or not, there will always be that quote that relates to our current mood. but why do we read quotes? to pass time? no. because we'd rather not be doing homework? well yes, but no. then why? because we all want to feel and be a part of something more than the feeling of loneliness. quotes link us together and give us something to live by.

what it deserves.
i know you're right, and i get it. but if you're always looking for reasons not to be with somebody, you'll always find them. i guess at some point you should let go and give your heart what it deserves.

change everything.
you wonder how long it takes to change your life ? what measure of time is enough to be life-altering? is it four years like high school ? one year ? an eight week rock tour ? can your life change in a month, week, or a single day ? we're always in a hurry to grow up, to go places, to get ahead. but when you're young, one hour can change everything.

not even know it.
Have you ever looked at a picture and saw a
stranger in the background?
it makes you wonder how many
strangers have pictures of you,
how many moments of other people's lives we've been in.
were we a part of a stranger's life when their
dream came true,
or were we there when their dreams died?
did we keep trying to get in as if we
were destined to be there,
or did the shot take us by surprise
and not even know it?

no matter what.
I've been Internetless for a while now, sorry, here's a big update...
Sunday January 11th
sometimes i just want to beat the living crap out of you and at those times i stop and think what i'd do without you, and i realize i wouldn't survive without you as my best friend. so instead of beating you up, i laugh and tell you i love you.
Saturday January 10th
promise yourself to be strong, that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. live in the faith that the whole world is on your side as long as you are true to the best that is in you.
Friday January 9th
it's the simple things in life that make you smile- a small child looking up at you, laughing old couples holding hands while taking a walk. it's the simple things in life that make you live.
Thursday January 8th
i realized something the other night; you don't need a guy to be happy. sure, a kiss good night is better from your boyfriend than from your mom. and cute texts from him would be nicer than the ones from your friends. but even when the guy breaks your heart, you will always have your mom to tell you she loves you and your best friend will always be calling you; and that's all you need.
Wednesday January 7th
let's live it up like it's our last because there's no room for "i wish i had"s. it's time to live until tomorrow ends, because we don't need to rest. we'll sleep when we're dead.
Tuesday January 6th
what's worse, new wounds which are so horribly painful or old wounds that should've healed over years ago and never did? maybe our wounds teach us something. they remind us where we've been and what we've overcome. they teach us lessons about what to avoid in the future. that's what we like to think, but that's not the way it is, is it? some things we just have to learn over and over again.
Monday January 5th
when things get bad, we take comfort in the fact that they can't get any worse. and when they do, we must have faith that things are so bad, they can only get better.
Sunday January 4th
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.
Saturday January 3rd
those who kill time are the ones who waste life. never take any second for granted because you're never going to get a chance to go back in time and get that second, minute, hour, day or maybe even year back. once it's passed, it's never going to come back.

immature love is wanting the person to be happy only when they're with you. mature love is wanting the person to be happy no matter what.

this minute.
only 1 in 1000 knows the trick of really living in the present.
most of us spend 59 minutes of every hour living in the past with regret for lost joys or shame for things badly done (both utterly useless and weakening), or in a future we either long for or dread.
there is only one minute in which you are alive... this minute, here and now.
the only way to live is by accepting this is an unrepeatable minute, which is exactly what it is.
