where you belong.

Sunday May 31st
Is it my imagination...
Or have I finally found something worth living for?


Saturday May 30th
When you love someone, all your saved-up wishes start coming out.


Friday May 29th
Wait for the person who pursues you, the one who will make an ordinary moment seem magical, the kind of person who brings out the best in you and makes you want to be a better person; Wait for the person who will be your best friend, the only person who will drop everything to be with you at any time no matter what the circumstances, for the person who makes you smile like no one else and when they smile you know they need you. Wait for the person who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats and a t-shirt, but appreciates it when you get dressed up forthem. And most of all wait for the person who will put you at
the center of their universe, because that's where you belong.

make you happy.

you don't need to know everything in life, just the things that make you happy.

still have hope.

If you can look at the sunset and smile, then you still have hope. If you can see the good in other people, then you still have hope. If you meet new people with a trace of excitement and optimism, then you still have hope. If you give people the benefit of the doubt, then you still have hope. If the suffering in others still fills you with pain, then you still have hope. If you still watch love stories or want endings to be happy, then you still have hope. If you can look at the past and smile, then you still have hope. If, when faced with bad and told everything is futile, you can still look up at the end of the conversation and say "yeah, but..." then you still have so much hope. If you still offer your hand of friendship to those who have touched your life, then you still have hope. If you refuse to let a friendship die or accept that it must end, then you, very much, still have hope.

true friends.

true friends =
you cry, i cry
you fight, i fight
you jump off a bridge, i get a paddleboat and save your stupid ass.

ignore the pain.

laugh your heart out,
dance in the rain,
cherish the moment,
ignore the pain,
live, love, laugh,
forgive and forget,
life's too short to be living with regret.

life surprises you.

I'm thinking that it might actually be possible for things to work out sometimes. Definitely not everything and maybe not the way you imagined, but sometimes, when you least expect it, life surprises you.

every move.

it's kind of like... the difference between putting your hand on your knee, and him putting his hand on your knee. when you touch your knee, you don't feel it, nothing happens, it's just there. but when he has his hand there, you feel everything. every move of his palm, every squeeze of his hand, and every brush of his finger. and you feel it right down to your toes and up to your neck. everything in your body tingles, but it's the most wonderful thing ever. every move he makes, makes a difference.

live your life.

Summer is for breaking. Pack nothing. Leave without a note. Follow your internal compass. Wear what you slept in. Sleep in what you're wearing. Use spf. Listen to the ocean but don't take it's advice word for word. Insist on karaoke. Display skin. Attract a following. Steal a heart. Lose track of time. Live your life.

width and depth.

you can't do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth.

a friend.

A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.

one.

one moment can change your mind,
one look can change your heart,
& one person can change your destiny.

worth the struggle.

you know life is worth the struggle
when you look back on what you lost
and realize that what you have now is
way better.

what truly matters.

while trying to grasp things we desire,
the things we think will make our lives
better: money, popularity, fame... we
ignore what truly matters. the simple
things like friendship, family and love.
the things we probably already had.

follow your passion.

you've got to follow your passion. you've got to figure out what it is you love - who you really are. and have the courage to do that. i believe that the only courage anybody ever needs is the courage to follow your own dreams.

nothing but.

take nothing but photos,
leave nothing but footsteps,
and kill nothing but time.
here's to the nights that turned into mornings
and the friends that turned into family.

business of fixing.

we're all damaged, it seems. some of us more than others. we carry the damage with us from childhood, then as grown ups, we give as well as we get. ultimately, we all do damage. and then, we set about the business of fixing whatever we can.

a million dollars.

Wednesday May 13th
sing to the music and dance to the beat.
nothing to be repeated,
live in the moment.


Tuesday May 12th
I am going to give you a piece of advice, advice I wish I'd been told back in high school, in between the don't-do-acid and don't-drink-and-drive films. I wish our counselors had told us, "When you grow older, a dreadful, horrible sensation will come over you. It's called loneliness, and you think you know what it is now, but you don't. Here is the list of the symptoms, and don't worry--loneliness is the most universal sensation on the planet. Just remember one fact--loneliness will pass. You will survive, and you will be a better human for it."


Monday May 11th
If I had a million dollars, I'd want cookies, chocolate, a new cell phone, and endless supply of starbucks, and last but not least .. I'd wanna buy you.


Sunday May 10th
it's not the falling of the temperature
that's making all our bones run cold
it's the breeze you make
the presence felt when you're around me

cold on your side.

It's burning up in here, even though the bed is cold on your side.
I'd rather die than spend this night here without you.

the challenge.

the challenge is to be yourself in a world that is trying to make you like everyone else.

life was done.

So many times I looked and found my dreams around, come tumbling down. & there you were, holding out your hand. When there was rain, you were the sun. You are my life when life was done.

something right.

If anyone can make me a better person you could
All I gotta say is I must've done something good
I came along one day and you rearranged my life
All I gotta say is I must've done something right

so cliché.

And I know that it's so cliché to tell you that everyday I spend with you is the new best day of my life.

i don't ever.

I don't ever want to take you for granted. I don't ever want to forget what it was like before you or how it would be without you. I don't ever want to forget our first kiss or our last touch, or let a day go by without telling you how much you mean to me, how deeply I love you, & how much I need you. I don't ever want you to doubt the way I feel or how much happier I am because of you.

like anybody else.

no matter how ugly you think you are or someone else around you has it better than you, there's always gonna be that one special guy who loves you simply because you're not like anybody else.

all we are saying.

what you want.

Don't attach yourself to anyone who shows you the least bit of attention because you're lonely. Loneliness is the human condition. No one is ever going to fill that space. The best you can do is know yourself... know what you want.
