reality.

Don't let someone else's opinion of you become your reality.

key to success.

I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody but yourself.

no distance.

there is no distance on this earth as far away as yesterday.

a lesson.

A lesson must be lived in order to be learned.

lost luggage.

Sunday December 27th
You can tell a lot about a person by the way they handle four things:
a rainy day,
the elderly,
lost luggage,
& tangled Christmas lights.

homesick.

merry christmas!!

Christmas is a time when you get homesick - even when you're home.

endorphins.

smiling releases endorphins and makes us feel better, even when you fake a smile you can feel better.

fork in the road.

first step.

The first step towards change is acceptance. Once you accept yourself, you open the door to change. That’s all you have to do. Change is not something you do, it’s something you allow.

freaking jump.

at some point, you've got to man up and jump. you've got to quit being scared of the "maybes" and "what-ifs" and just freaking jump. quit cheating yourself out of the best thing that could ever happen to you, quit cheating him out of what he's wanted for so long, and just fall. fall hard, fall long, and fall forever.

didn't know.

Happiness often sneaks through a door you didn't know you left open.

so much time.

You spend so much time expecting the worst that you don't even notice the moments when someone loves you.

actually, i can.

life's disappointments.

the important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. learn to let go of the past, and recognize that every day won't be sunny. and when you find yourself lost in the darkness of despair, remember, it's only in the black of the night that you see the stars, and the stars lead you back home.

optional.

pain is inevitable. suffering is optional.

you.

When I see you, the world stops. It stops, and all that exists for me is you, and my eyes staring at you. There's nothing else. No noise, no other people, no thoughts or worries. No yesterday, no tomorrow. The world just stops, and it is a beautiful place. And there is only you.

only dreams.

the only dreams that matter are the ones you have when you're awake.

movie set.

if you spend your life pretending you're on a movie set, you never have to admit that the walls are made out of paper and the food is plastic and words coming out of your mouth aren't really yours.

be in the now.

important day.

being happy.

being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. it means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.

imagination.

Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.

familiar landscapes.

Begin to look around, see things in your world and right now, you’ll find beauty in the strangest places; in backwards glances and passing faces, in familiar landscapes you’ve seen all your life, in the peace of the quiet, and the sky of the blue.

you are perfect.

spin wildly.

If you’re feeling frightened about what comes next, don’t be. Embrace the uncertainty. Allow it to lead you places. Be brave as it challenges you to exercise both your heart and your mind as you create your own path towards happiness, don’t waste time with regret. Spin wildly into your next action. Enjoy the present, each moment, as it comes; because you’ll never get another one quite like it. And if you should ever look up and find yourself lost, simply take a breath and start over. Retrace your steps and go back to the purest place in your heart.. where your hope lives. You’ll find your way again.

don't be afraid.

don't be afraid to fail.

you are loved.

if you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.

chemistry.

Do I have to spell it out for you
or scream it in your face
Oh the chemistry between us could destroy this place

let it be.

it's gone.

you don't know what you have until it's gone.
