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 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
