live . love .

Don't risk anything you aren't willing to lose.
-Boy Meets World

Pardon me while I throw up.
I guess some people never grow up.
What happened to the salvation you claimed?
It breaks my heart to see how much you've changed.

-relient k

So tell me what do I do with this backpack
Full of bricks and sticks and stones and words that stuck to me like ticks
Let it go, let it be
Brick by brick we can be free of all the words we saved
Till we were our own enemies

If weakness is a wound that no one wants to speak of
Then "cool" is just how far we have to fall
I am not immune, I only want to be loved
But I feel safe behind the firewall
Can I lose my need impress?
If you want the truth I need to confess

-sanctus real

we could believe in ourselves more
we could try for unique, instead of trying to conform
we could defy what they tell us don't buy the lies they sell us
if we're brave we can believe in what we are.

& so the story goes. one friendship. a bond that seemed unbreakable broke. things come so unexpectedly. looking back there are no regrets. only looking forward does the pain come. knowing the story of the two is over. following the loss of this friendship is a unending ache. never will they have the trust that was once held. with one move it all came crashing down. 

Close friends are truly life's treasures. Sometimes they know us better than we know ourselves. With gentle honesty, they're there to guide us and support us, to share our laughter and our tears. Their presence reminds us that no matter what, we're not alone.

I didn't come here to tell you that I can't live without you. I can live without you. I just don't want to. -Rumor Has It

Not in a hurry to die sir, just in one to matter. -Pearl Harbor

Serendipity. Look for something, find something else, and realize that what you've found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were looking for

I might not ever get over that smile.

someone asked me if i knew you..
and a million memories flashed through my mind
and i whispered, "not anymore"

the second chance means nothing
if nothing was learned from the first one

there are some people in life that
make you laugh a little louder
smile a little brighter
and just live a little better

and all the things that
break you are all the things
that make you strong

with friendship it doesn't matter
how long you`ve known
them or how many
fights you've been in. all that matters is
who said they'd be there
in the end & who proved it.

aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then- you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears & allowing yourself the right to be a human can, paradoxically, make yourself a happier & more productive person.

I hope your dreams take you...to the corners of your smiles, to the highest of your hopes, to the windows of your opportunities, and to the most special places your heart has ever known

in a world of comparison and conformity, make your own statement ; honor your own truth. have the courage to be yourself ; risk speaking your own thoughts and claiming your emotions. share your vulnerabilities, tears, doubts, and insecurities; let others experience the real you. have the courage to be yourself and realize that being yourself was what brought us together <3

when the truth is ugly, people try to keep it hidden because they know if revealed the damage it will do. so they conceal it within sturdy walls, or they place it behind closed doors, or they obscure it with clever disguises. but truth, no matter how ugly, always emerges. and someone we care about always ends up getting hurt and someone else will revel in their pain - and that's the ugliest truth of all.

Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming

a friend is someone who understands why you like your strawberry sodas without any strawberries in them <3

HoPe you Lo.V.e---.I.t.

I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
and I don't know what I'm diving into
just hanging by a moment here with you

[the greatest single cause of atheism in the world today
Is christians who acknowledge jesus with their lips
Then walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle.
That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.]

"Thereforedear friends since you already know this, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless men and fall from your secure position. But gorw in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and FOREVER."  2 Peter 3:17-18

You learn to like someone when you learn what makes them laugh, but you can never truely love someone until you've learned what makes them cry.

The  sweetest things  in  this  world  today  have  c ome  to  us  through  tears  and  pain. –J.R. Miller

At  the  of  the  game  the  king  and  the  pawn  go  back  in   the   same  box.

feeling the pain is teaching us how much more we can take
and reminding us how far we've come

God will never take anything
away from you without giving
you something so much better =)
