"I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally;
I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed
to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time
it just happened to me without me ever seeking it."
- Audrey Hepburn

You were only given this life because
you're strong enough to live it.

You deserve to be with someone who makes you happy, somebody who doesn’t complicate your life, somebody who won’t hurt you.
- Grey's Anatomy


I am comforted by thinking that maybe one day we will look back and realize that we have the most amazing love story.

I'm mad at myself, not you. I'm mad for always being nice.
I'm mad for always apologizing for things I didn't do. I'm mad for getting attached. I'm mad for depending on you and wasting my time on you. I'm mad for thinking about you, and most of all for not hating you when I should.

Life is for deep kisses, strange adventures, midnight swims and rambling conversations.

I can't talk to you anymore,
it's not that i am mad at you,
it's just that when i talk to you i realize how much i love you
and when i realize how much i love you,
i realize i can't have you and that makes me love you even more

and maybe its true i just cant live without you...
after all that's said and done, i still think you're amazing
i still cherish every moment i ever spent with you and every smile you brought to my face
i'll forever be thankful that someone like you was brought into my life,
even if you had to be taken away too soon.
It was like she was only there when it was convenient for him.
Like she was the gas station no one ever visited
unless their tank was coming up on empty.
Yeah, there were days when she hated him
and there were days when she was head over heels, too.
But none of those days mattered,
because she could never have him no matter how hard she fell.


They were in love. You could tell just by the way they looked at each other, like they
had the most wonderful secret in the world between them.

did you know that she doesnt care if you call her and
wake her up in the middle of the night or early in the
morning? she hates arguing but you know shes good
at it. she's terrified of the dark and gets even more
terrified when something happens that shows even the
slightest possibility of her losing you. everytime she
sees you she cant help but smile. she cant wait to just
run up to you and give you a hug because to her thats
the best feeling in the world. yeah i guess you could say
that she'd do absolutely anything for you.

Ever have that one person in your life
that you just can't give up on,
the one person that can screw you over time after time
yet you always seem to give them another chance,
and no matter howm any timesy ou say this is their last one,
you know it's a lie because there's always just one
more waiting for them. the one person you know you're
better off without but yet you can't find a way to let
them go because deep down inside,
you wouldn't know what to do without them.
The one person you know doesn't deserve you but yet
you choose to overlook it because you love him.

After all that’s said and done, I still think you’re amazing. I still cherish every moment I ever spent with you and every smile you brought to my face. I’ll forever be thankful that someone like you was brought into my life, even if it had to be taken away too soon. See, you were my miracle, you were my fairytale I got to live.

Sums it up.

*I know a lot of people know who he is, but I also know there are not that many who got to see the side of the guy that I did. And that guy, well, I'll never forget him. Not ever. I've learned so much about life and emotion from knowing him and I wouldn't change a thing about it, including the ending. Your heart needs to go through some bumps like these once in a while. Besides, he has made a monumental impact on me and on my life in these past few years. I know no matter how many years go by; my stomach will always do a little flip whenever I see that face.

*i love you and I probably always will. but we go days without having meaningful conversations. and i used to miss you so much when that happened. but it never seemed like you missed me, and i guess because of that, i stopped missing you."
-One Tree Hill

* the thing about us is that we're friends. well, maybe we're not just friends.
but the base of all we know is friendship. he may think i'm beautiful, but he'll still tease me about how he has to look down to see me. and we may cuddle up and watch movies, but we'll still laugh and make jokes about every line. we may hold hands, but we also get into fake fights & i know he lets me win every time. he gets mad when i don't think high of myself, and i get mad when he won't tell me what's wrong. we know more about each other than anyone. and maybe that's the thing that makes it so perfect, that he's not just the friend or the lover, but he's the missing piece to my puzzle.

taking chances.

-taking chances is really just about overcoming your fears, because the truth is, everytime you take a big risk in your life, no matter how it ends up, your always glad you took it

-do you know what girls really want? they want real conversations and real love. we
want cute dates, nothing expensive. the truth is we only want to be with you. we want to hold hands and lie beneath the stars. we want to be able to say something stupid and not worry about it. we want a guy that will love us for nothing
more than the fact that we are who we are. plain and simple.

-I hate being in this position. I'm forcing myself to let go of the one person that I need in my life. He's the only thing that makes sense, but that the same time, the one who complicates me. I know Im better off without him..yet I feel empty whenever I try to let go.. But I guess that emptiness is better than constant hurt.

-i never needed to change who i was when i was around you because you knew me well enough to know when i wasnt being myself, and i hated you for that. i hate you knowing everything about me. i hate you being able to predict my every move. i hated it because it made me defenseless.

-What a wonderful thought it is that some of the best days of our lives haven't happened yet.

-He looked at me, with the same look in his eyes as the first day we met.
And I knew, right then, I could never let him look at anyone else that way again.

-The true test of love: No matter how long you two go without talking, he`ll always find a way back into your heart. No matter how hard you try to forget him, you can`t. It`s the little things that mean the most, but break your heart all the same. It`s those times when a song comes on the radio & immediately you cry, missing him, wanting him, needing him

10 tips for a happier life.

10 Tips For A Happier Life:

1. Don’t worry.
Worry is the least productive of all human activities and thoughts.

2. Don’t let needless fears preoccupy your life.
Most of things we fear never happen!!!

3. Don’t hold grudges.
That is one of the biggest and most unnecessary weights we carry through our lives.

4. Take on one problem at a time.
It’s the only way to handle things anyway; one by one.

5. Don’t take your problems to bed with you.
They are bad and unhealthy companions for good natural sleep and rest.

6. Don’t take on the problems of other people.
They are better equipped to handle their own problems than you are.

7. Don’t live in the past.
It will always be there in your memories to enjoy. But don’t cling to it. Concentrate on what is happening right now in your life and you will be happy in the present and not just the past.

8. Be a good listener.
It is only when one listens that one gets and learns ideas different from ones own.

9. Do not let frustration ruin and rule your life.
Self pity more than anything interferes with positive actions with moving forward in our lives.

10. Count your blessings.
Don’t even forget the smallest blessings. As many small blessings add up to large ones.

To do...

. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
2. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
3. Don’t believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.
4. When you say, “I love you”, mean it.
5. When you say, “I’m sorry”, look the person in the eye.
6. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
7. Believe in love at first sight.
8. Never laugh at anyone’s dreams. People who don’t have dreams don’t have much.
9. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt, but it’s the only way to live life completely.
10. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
11. Don’t judge people by their relatives.
12. Talk slowly, but think quickly.
13. When someone asks you a question you don’t want to answer, smile and ask, “Why do you want to know?”
14. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
15. Say “bless you” when you hear someone sneeze.
16. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.
17. Remember the three R’s: Respect for self; Respect for others; Responsibility for all your actions.
18. Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
19. When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
20. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.
21. Spend some time alone.
22. Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values.
23. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
24. Read more books and watch less TV.
25. Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll get to enjoy it a second time.
26. Trust in God, but lock your car.
27. Create a loving atmosphere in your home is so important. Do all you can to create a tranquil harmonious home.
28. In disagreements with loved ones, deal with the current situation. Don’t bring up the past.
29. Read between the lines.
30. Share your knowledge. It’s a way to achieve immortality.
31. Be gentle with the earth.
32. Pray. There’s immeasurable power in it.
33. Never interrupt when you are being flattered.
34. Mind your own business.
35. Don’t trust a man/woman who doesn’t close his/her eyes when you kiss.
36. Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.
37. If you make a lot of money, put it to use helping others while you are living. That is wealth’s greatest satisfaction.
38. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a stroke of luck.
39. Learn the rules then break some.
40. Remember that the best relationship is one where your love for each other is greater than your need for each other.
41. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
42. Remember that your character is your destiny.

11 things...

11 things every woman deserves in life:
  1. A friend who takes your side and has the guts to tell you when you’re wrong.
  2. One item of clothing that instantly makes you feel twice as beautiful and half as nervous.
  3. The occasional good cry, for no particular reason.
  4. A man who just cannot get enough of your body.
  5. At least as much pay as the guy at the next desk who does the same job.
  6. A same-size friend with an incredible closet.
  7. A really hot, really fast red car. Failing that, really hot red shoes you can run in.
  8. The expensive toilet paper.
  9. To sometimes lie back and take, take, take in bed.
  10. A grandparent equivalent: wise, huggable, all ears.
  11. A life in which you play the starring role.

It takes...

It takes courage to be gentle.

It takes strength to conquer,
It takes courage to surrender.

It takes strength to be certain,
It takes courage to have doubt.

It takes strength to fit in,
It takes courage to stand out.

It takes strength to feel a friend’s pain,
It takes courage to feel your own pain.

It takes strength to endure abuse,
It takes courage to stop it.

It takes strength to stand alone,
It takes courage to lean on another.

It takes strength to love,
It takes courage to be loved.

It takes strength to survive,
It takes courage to live.

More Random Quotes

* The principal cause of failure is trading what we want more for what we want at the moment

* Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
-Marianne Williamson

*Someday, someone is going to walk into your life and make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else

* You can’t control when you lose your heart. The only thing you can do is trust, trust that the person who has your heart realizes it’s value. - Grey's Anatomy

* The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention… A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words. -— Rachel Naomi Remen

Bob Marley Quotes.

once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.

"You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before, she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there."

Maya Angelou Quotes

Life is worth the living of it. Do it with your whole heart.

To those who have given up on love, i say trust life a little bit.

living life as art requires readiness to forgive.

My grandmother used to say, "when you don't like a thing, change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it."

Always, I hope to grow, brighter & funnier. I hope to learn to be even more well-rounded. But right now, I cannot be any better than I am.

I like the person I am becoming.

Someone was here before you, lost before you, ignored before you, and yet, miraculously, someone has survived with passion, compassion, and humor and style.

I am not competing with anyone other than myself. I want to be excellent at whatever I do.

I think a hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for all people.

There is something gracious and graceful about serving.

In the course of staying alive, I always love to hear people laugh. I never trust people who don't laugh or who act as if they put airplane glue on the back of their hands and stuck them to their foreheads.

when we step away for a time we are not being irresponsible, we are preparing ourselves to better perform our duties and obligations. Sometimes when we step away we return to find that important questions have been answered in our absence.

self control is true power.

mixture of quotes.

<3 I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me. Love is knowing all about someone and still wanting to be with them more than any other person. Love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of. Love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you. -The O.C

<3 Love isn’t finding a perfect person. It’s seeing an imperfect person perfectly. -Sam Keen

<3 Things will happen in your life that you can’t stop but that’s no reason to shut out the world. -Now & Then

<3 No relationship is perfect, ever. There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater…The love we have for each other is bigger than these small differences. And that’s the key. It’s like a big pie chart, and the love in a relationship has to be the biggest piece. Love can make up for a lot. - Sarah Dessen


<3 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. Wait 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 sweat and a t-shirt, but appreciates it when you get dressed up for them. Most of all wait for the person who will put you at the center of their universe, because that’s where you belong.

<3 All of our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them. -Walt Disney

♥ In every moment we teach each other love or fear. As we demonstrate love towards others we learn how to love more deeply.

♥ "Set out each day believing in your dreams. Know without a doubt that you were made for amazing things." - Josh Hinds

♥ It's the heart, afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance.
It's the dream, afraid of waking, that never takes the chance.
It's the one, who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give,
& its the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live.

♥ imagine settling for a life you can have because you don't have the courage to go after the life you really want. You have to make a decision- the kind that bends your future in a whole new direction.

♥ You can always tell when two people are best friends cause they're always having way more fun than it makes sense for them to be having.

♥ BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD

♥ I don't know why we put things off. But if I had to guess, I'd say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of pain, fear of rejection. Sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, any decision, because what if you're wrong? G.A

♥ "You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-You-Are? You're chicken. You're afraid to stick out your chin & say, "OK, life's a fact." People do fall in love. People do belong to each other. Because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness. You call yourself a free spirit, a wild thing. Yet you're terrified that somebody's gonna put you in a cage. Well, baby, you're already in a cage & you built it yourself." - Breakfast At Tiffany's

♥ "For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others. For beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness. & for pose, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone." - Audrey Hepburn

♥ When I was 5 years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I wrote down "happy." They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life.- unknown

♥ life is the ability to feel so happy, you think your insides are going to explode. it's being so upset or disappointed, you feel as if your stomach just dropped ten feet out of place. it's running so hard, you can barely breathe. it's the feeling of panic when you know you've been caught doing something wrong. it's having that sudden rush before you kiss someone you care about. it's opening your eyes and feeling them sting because you spent the whole night crying. it's letting people go but letting new ones come in, and all the while realizing that life doesn't have a purpose unless you let it. (unknown)

<3 She was idealistic and naive. the people who met her for the first time couldn't believe how innocent she was. She knew things but she was untainted and really pure. Her naivety was like a breath of fresh air. People didn't understand her at time, and they would make fun. But there was something about her that made people feel free to live.

<3 But it's hard to stay mad when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once and it's too much, my heart fills up like a ballon that's about to burst. And then I remember to relax and stop trying to hold onto it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life. You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry, you will someday.

<3 the people that change your life are the people you remember.

<3 You may not end up where you thought you would be but you will end up where you're meant to.

<3 be nice to everyone you meet, they're fighting a battle you know nothing about.

<3 Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be- a roommate, a neighbor, a professor, a friend, a lover, or even a complete stranger- but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some profound way.

<3 If we deny love that is given to us, if we refuse to give love because we fear pain or loss, then our lives will be empty, our loss greater.

<3 Be concerned about your character, not your repuatation because character is who you are, but reputation is who people think you are.

<3 Optimism means expecting the best, but confident means knowing how to handle the worst.

<3 The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and to be loved in return. -Eden Ahbez.

<3 He is the cheese in my macaroni. –Juno

<3 Trust is the highest form of human motivation.—Stephen Covey

<3 A peace can be found in life, a peace and happiness can keep your calm and comforted in most situations that you will encounter and have encountered. This peace comes through living the gospel and patterning your life after Jesus Christ. –Jason D. Best

<3 One thing you have to try: reading outside underneath something covered (patio, deck umbrella, whatever) while it's raining. It's kind of surreal. You're in your own little world while the whole world is surrounding and enveloping you.

<3 it's that feeling you get, right in your core when you look around, look at all the people you're surrounded by, and realize that these people are home.

<3 Before, my fear was being vulnerable. The ability of another human being to possibly tear apart your insides at any given moment was enough to keep me running. He, however, made me insides come alive. My smile became permanent and laughter more frequent. He took away my fear and gave me hope. But more importantly, for the first time in my life, instead of wanting to run, he gave me every reason to stay. — Unknown

<3 the happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way
