learn from it.

Oh yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or... learn from it.

right here.

Every night when I close my eyes, I see the ways that you've touched my life.
And I want you to know that I'll always be right here.

the other day.

the other day, i caught myself smiling for no reason. then i realized i was thinking about you.

dream it.

If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.

i don't want to.

keep loving.

Your heart is a weapon the size of your fist. Keep fighting, keep loving.

i love life.

i will, you will.

memories.

Your world is made of your memories, and your memories are given to you by your world. The whispering voice of happenstance is always in our ears. 'This is the world. This is the way things are. Look. Pay attention. Remember.'

optimism.

love is not living your own life, but sharing it. it's forgiveness, it's making a million mistakes and turning them into learning experiences. love is patience, optimism and sometimes it's a kiss when there's nothing left to say.

correcting yesterday.

Monday April 20th
spend your time perfecting tomorrow, not correcting yesterday.


Sunday April 19th
so this is when we finally learn the real meaning of change. you do the things you used to be against, you date the people you thought you never would and you befriend the people you used to hate. you'll learn what it's like to have your heart broken, to lose a friend who truly meant something to you and to feel as if everything is really falling apart. there will be times when your life seems absolutely horrible, it feels like it's not real. despite all this, good things will come too. you'll make the most amazing friends who will be there for you when they probably shouldn't be. your broken heart will heal once you find the most perfect guy you've ever met and as nothing else can go wrong, things will only get better. there will be days you are so happy and days you feel like dying. drama happens, gossip goes around and people talk shit. maybe this is just the teenage years, maybe it's life or maybe this is just what growing up is.

safely insane.

Saturday April 18th
When it comes to relationships, maybe we're all in glass houses and shouldn't throw stones. Because you can never really know. Some people are settling down, some are settling, and some people refuse to settle for anything less than butterflies.


Friday April 17th
Dreaming permits allow each and every one of us to be quietly and safely insane every night of our lives.

love you longer.

Thursday April 16th
if i had to live my life over again, next time i'd give you more kisses and hold you closer. i'd memorize everything you have ever said to me and i'd carry it in my heart like a poem. if i had my life to live over again, next time i'd find you sooner so i could love you longer and better and truer.


Wednesday April 15th
sometimes i want to get away from you and sometimes there's nothing i want more than to talk to you, to tell you about my day, to hear about yours, to laugh with you, to tease you, to share an inside joke that nobody would get, to argue with you, but now we're just kidding. "do you remember when?" there are so many "remember whens?" and that's what i love about you.

keep your fears.

Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.

i am learning.

Monday April 13th
I am learning that perfection isn't what matters. In fact, it's the very thing that can destroy you if you let it.


Sunday April 12th
There's a difference between true love and love. Love is when you force yourself to be happy with someone because you're afraid to wait for the right someone. True love is when you know he's the right one the minute you touch.

not fail.

what would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?

too much.

When I act numb towards you,
It doesn't mean I don't care,
It means I care too much.

past.

It's sad how some of us can live so far in the past & refuse to move on. It's sad how so many of us try to move on, but can't & just go back to the past. It's sad how many of us finally do move on, get hurt, & go right back into the past.

expect the best.

expect the best, be prepared for the worst, f**k what others think, and do your own thing.

from the center.

I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over.
Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.

when you need him.

That's the thing about him. He's not always there when you want him... but he's always there when you need him.

first nine times.

It's like riding a bicycle. The first nine times you fall off but the tenth time you can go on for miles.

the best thing.

i don't know what love is, but when i'm with you i feel like the safest person in the world. nothing else matters. it's about the here and now. when you leave, it's a waiting game. because all i want is the next day i get to see you. and that's the reason i keep on going everyday, in hopes that today is the next day i get to spend even one minute with you. if this isn't love, it should be- because it's the best thing in the world.

all strapped in.

Life is truly a ride. We're all strapped in, and no one can stop it. As you make your way from youth to adulthood to maturity, sometimes you put your arms up and scream; sometimes you just hang onto the bar in front of you. But the ride is the thing. I think the most you can hope for at the end of life is that your hair is messed up, you're out of breath, and you didn't throw up.

hopelessly, completely.

Thursday April 2nd
No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world.


Wednesday April 1st
I honestly, truly am hopelessly, completely in the most pure and absolute love with you.
