I've learned a lot this year.. I learned that things don't always turn our the way you planned, or the way you think they should. And I've learned that there are things that go wrong that don't always get fixed or get put back together the way they were before. I've learned that some broken things stay broken, and I've learned that you can get through bad times and keep looking for better ones, as long as you have people who love you.

Wait long enough and people will surprise and impress. When you're pissed off at someone and you're angry at them, you just haven't given them enough time. Just give them a little more time and they almost always will impress you

What is normal? Normal is only ordinary; mediocre. Life belongs to the rare, exceptional individual who dares to be different

So, I guess we are who we are for alot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them

It was the little things that drew me to him. The quick glances in the hallway, the snuggling when no one was looking, and the notes. The big things made the little even more special.

Bad stuff does happen sometimes. Always remember that, but remember that you have to move on, somehow. You just pick up your head and stare at something beautiful like the sky, or the ocean, and you move the hell on

I have a theory that every time you make an important choice, the part of you left behind continues the other life you could have had

The truth doesn't always set you free; people prefer to believe prettier, neatly wrapped lies

It was more work than it seemed, looking through a telescope, as the Earth was continually moving and you had to move along with it. You don't realize how fast this actually happens, and it's kind of both creepy and wonderful when you stop to think about it. And it makes you realize there is absolutely no way to avoid change. You can sit there and cross your arms and refuse it, but underneath you, things are still spinning away.

I knew that there were no guarantees. No way of knowing what came next for me, or him, or anybody. Some things don't last forever, but some things do. Like a good song, or a good book, or a good memory you can take out and unfold in your darkest times, pressing down the corners and peering in close, hoping you still recognize the person you see there

Here's to the kids whose 11:11 wish was wasted on one person who will never be there for them. Here's to the kids whose idea of a good night is sitting on the hood of a car, watching the stars. Here's to the kids who never were too good at life, but still were wicked cool. Here's to the kids who listened to Fall Out Boy and Hawthorne Heights before they were on MTV...and blame MTV for ruining their life. Here's to the kids who care more about the music then the haircuts. Here's to the kids who have crushes on a stupid lush. Here's to the kids who hum "A Little Less 16 Candles A Little More Touch Me" when they're stuck home, dateless, on a Saturday night. Here's to the kids who have ever had a broken heart..from someone who didn't even know they existed. Here's to the kids who have read The Perks of Being A Wall Flower & didn't feel so alone after doing so. Here's to the kids who spend their days in photobooths with their best friend(s). Here's to the kids who are straight up smarta**es & just don't care. Here's to the kids who speak their mind. Here's to the kids who consider screamo their lullaby for going to sleep. Here's to the kids who second-guessthemselves on everything they do. Here's to the kids who will never have 100 percent confidence in anything they do, and to the kids who are okay with that. Here's to the kids.

Were you ever moved by music, or just a simple song so much, that you just smile, and your heart starts to race every time you hear it and you start to tap your foot to the beats? You just feel the music every time you put that CD in, you feel the lyrics, the rhythms, the verses, the treble and the keys. You understand what they are saying, and every time you close your eyes, you just see the whole story unravel behind your eye lids

For the first time in my life I know the true meaning of "break down." You always hear people say, "Oh, I`m having a break down today!" But it`s different than that. It`s when something so small, so ridiculously unimportant sets you off & you snap. You feel it inside of you & you try to hold it back. You don`t need people asking questions but someone will make a joke at your expense, or playfully slap your shoulder & you lose it. You almost hate them for what they`ve said or done. But maybe that`s not why..maybe you hate them simply cause they`re happy

There's nothing worse in the world than thinking you have a chance when you really don't.

Was I out of line? Did I say something way too honest, made you run and hide, like a scared little boy?

What we had might not have lasted long, and i'm sure it meant twice as much to me than you, but you're the most incredible boy i've come across. i'm thankful for all those moments we've had that i thought only happened
in movies. yeah i miss you like hell, and they may think i'm over-reacting when i break down and cry, but until now i've never felt something so strong. i wish i could tell you how much you meant to me. when that jerk made me fall, you caught me. and now i may be falling again; but this time, no regrets.

Don't worry about me, my heart's not broken anymore.
You should be worrying about yourself. Because as far as I can see, you're still an asshole

 

I think the hardest part about this situation is neither of us know what's going on. Neither of us knows what the other is thinking and we're both trying to make decisions based on the information we don't know.

Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you;
Be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.

You may be the only boy to render me speechless
You may be the only one able to take my breath away
And it may be my own fault that it took me so long to notice

I believe in love, in arguing, in jamming out by yourself in the car. I believe in smiling until your cheeks hurt and laughing until you cry. I believe in having someone tell you they love you, dancing in the rain, and in miracles. I believe in getting second chances even if your completly screwed up.

I love the way you look at me.
Especially when I say something really stupid.
You have this "why do I put up with you?" look.
But right after that is the "it's because I love you" look.
Then the "I must be insane to love you" look.
And finally the "I must be seriously insane" look.

I hope you drop a penny off the empire state building, and then decide you really like that penny and jump after it (haha)

And when your world seems to come crashing down,
And the people you thought you trusted have betrayed
You, smile. Smile, and make them wonder why.

I hate it when a guy knows you like him and he abuses the privilege

I've been doing fine without you, really
Up until the nights got cold
And everybody's here, except you, baby
Seems like everyone's got someone to hold
But for me it's just a lonely time
(exactly..)

I'm not asking to be your girl
I'm not asking for you to call me baby
I'm not even asking for a promise not to see anyone else
All I'm asking is for you to look in my eyes
And tell me why it all went wrong
And when you lie
I get to call bs this time

I'm done having days where I want to punch everyone who asks what's wrong and go with the drama, the gossip and tell them, "I just found out I am the daughter of a korean man and a hispanic woman who dropped me off at the firestation in puerto rico when they learned they were both dying of hiccups." How's your day?

I know who I was in the morning but I've changed quite a few times since then

Half the world is composd of people who have something to say and can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep saying it
