I ain't here to do anything half way,
don't give a damn what anyone might say,
I just wanna free fall for a while.
- wild at heart lyrics (gloriana)

484.
It's like we're more than
just friends, but still less than
lovers. You're oh so tough, but
I want to be your first weakness.
Here we go again with mixed
signals and second thoughts. ♥

483.
Girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up.
If a guy punches you, he likes you. Never
try to trim your own bangs and someday
you will meet a wonderful guy and get your
very own happy ending. Every movie we
see, every story we're told implores us to
wait forit, the third act twist, the unexpected
declaration of love, the exception to the rule.
But sometimes we're so focused on finding
our happy ending we don't learn how to read
the signs. How to tell from the ones who want
us and the ones who don't, the ones who will
stay and the ones who will leave. And maybe
a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe
it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces
and starting over, freeing yourself up for
something better in the future. Maybe the
happy ending is just moving on. Or maybe
the happy ending is this, knowing after all
the unreturned phone calls, broken hearts,
through the blunders and misread signals,
through all the pain and embarrassment,
you never gave up hope.
- (he's just not that into you)

482.
I definitely feel a lot more comfortable
with myself and care a lot less about
what other people think of me because
I've learned when you're in the public eye,
people will take every opportunity to criticize
you, whether you deserve it or not. Every girl
goes through that in one way or another. It's
just a part of life. I had every insecurity a
high school girl faces and I'm not saying I'm
completely over all of that, but it's never as
bad as we make it. I have so much respect
for girls who are totally happy with themselves.
- (lauren conrad)

481.
The saddest kind of sad, is the
sad that tries not to be sad. You
know when sad tries to bite it's
lip and not cry and smile and say,
"No, I'm happy for you"?
That's when it's really sad.

48o.
Give in to love or live in fear.

Heroes didn’t leap tall buildings or stop
bullets with an outstretched hand; they
didn’t wear boots or capes. they bled,
and they bruised, and their superpowers
were as simple as listening or loving. Heroes
were ordinary people who knew that even if
their own lives were impossibly knotted,
they could untangle someone else’s. And
maybe that one act could lead someone to
rescue you right back. ♥

478.
Maybe not everything is
supposed to last forever.
Certain things are like skywriting; 
like a really beautiful thing that
only lasts for a couple moments. 
- (little manhattan) 

477.
I’ve learned that no matter what happens,
or  how bad it seems today, life does go on,
and  it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned
that you  can tell a lot about a person by the
way he/she  handles these three things: a rainy
day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree
lights. I’ve learned  that regardless of your
relationship with your  parents, you’ll miss them
when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned
that making a "living" is not  the same thing as
making a "life." I’ve learned that life sometimes
gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you
shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on
both hands; you need to be able to throw something
back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something
with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.
I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t
have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you
should reach out and touch someone. People 
love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the
back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn.
I’ve learned that people will forget what you said,
people will forget what you did, but people will
never forget how you made them feel.

The world is smaller than you

more beautiful than you think.

The difference between fiction
and reality? Fiction has to make sense.
- (tom clancy)

474.
Calling someone fat doesn’t make you any skinnier.
Calling someone stupid doesn’t make you any smarter.
All you can do in life is try and
solve the problem in front of you. 
- (mean girls) ♥

473.
Bad is not an absolute, but a relative term.
Ask the robber who used the cash he stole
to feed his infant; the rapist who was sexually
abused as a child; the kidnapper who truly
believed he was saving a life. And just
because you break the law doesn't mean
you have intentionally crossed the line into
evil. Sometimes the line creeps up on you, and
before you know it, you're standing on the other side.
- vanishing acts (by jodi picoult) ♥ ♥ ♥

472.
Knowledge is a process of piling up
facts; wisdom lies in their simplification.

- (martin h. fischer)

Persons are judged to be
great because of the positive
qualities they possess, not
because of the absence of faults.

o1.
Love is composed of a
single soul inhabiting two bodies.
- (aristotle)

o2.
I can sit here with you forever. I don't
have to touch you, I don’t' have to hear
your voice. I don't even have to look at
you. As long as I know that you're here
beside me. If I can smell your scent that
I've grown to afore more than that of roses,
hear you breath, feel your warmth penetrating
the air around me, I'll be fine.
I know I'll be fine.

o3.
My life is brilliant. My love is pure.
I saw an angel. Of that I'm sure.
- you're beautiful lyrics (by james blunt)

o4.
As we grow older together,
as we continue to change with age,
there is one thing that will never
change... I will always keep falling
in love with you.
- (karen clodfelder)

o5.
We sat side by side in the
morning light and looked
out at the future together.
- (brian andres)

o6.
As a Rose absorbs the nutrients
it feeds on and as it thrives to see
the sun as it must to survive, the
Rose becomes more beautiful and
in turn will provide sunshine to those
who can behold it's beauty. Fortunate
is the man who can see the Rose within
a woman. Blessed is the man who this
woman holds to be her nutrient,
her sunshine.
- (art denton)

o7.
High school.
I didn't just find myself,
I also found you.
- myself <3

o8.
I don't want to be near you just
for the thoughts we share but the
words we never have to speak.
- (nikki giovanni)

o9.
I knew, in the silence that followed, that
anything could happen here. It might be
too late: again, I might have missed my
chance. But I would at least know I tried,
that I took my heart and extended my
hand, whatever the outcome. "Okay,"
he said. He took a breath. "What would
you do, if you could do anything?" I took
a step toward him, closing the space between
us. "This," I said. And then I kissed him."
- the truth about forever (by sarah dessen)

1o.
You know, when it works, love
is pretty amazing. It's not overrated.
There's a reason for all those songs.
- this lullaby (by sarah dessen)

11.
We were given: Two hands to hold.
Two legs to walk. Two eyes to see.
Two ears to listen. But why only one
heart? Because the other was given to
someone else for us to find.
- (one of my favorites)

47o.
I think it's okay that you're the only one
that gets me, and I love how I can't breathe
quite right as you slowly whisper in my ear,
"Beautiful, you owe me a dance tonight." ♥

469.
Would you stop feeling sorry for
yourself? It's bad for your complexion.
- (sixteen candles)

468.
People think dreams aren't real just
because they aren't made of matter,
of particles. Dreams are real. But they
are made of viewpoints, of images, of
memories and puns and lost hopes.
- (sandman) ♥

467.
Don't think or judge, just listen.
- just listen (by sarah dessen)

466.
Damaged people are dangerous,
because they know they can survive. ♥

465.
To be nobody but yourself in a world
which is doing its best, night and day,
to make you everybody else means to
fight the hardest battle which any human
being can fight; and never stop fighting.
- (e.e. cummings)

464.
My religion is very simple.
My religion is kindness.

- (dalai lama) ♥

463.
Sometimes you fall, spinning through space,
grasping for the things that keep you on this
earth. Sometimes you catch them. They can
be the hands of the people you love. They can
be your pets- pups with funny names, cats with
ferocious old souls. The thing that keeps you
here can be your art. It can be things you have
collected and invested with a certain sense of
meaning. A flowered, buckled treasure chest
of secrets. Shoes that make you taller and,
therefore, closer to the heavens. A suit that
belonged to your fairy godmother. A dress that
makes you feel a little like the Goddess herself.
Sometimes you keep falling; you don't catch
anything. Sometimes you fall, spinning through
space, grasping for the things that keep you here.
Sometimes you catch them, sometimes you don't.
Sometimes, they catch you.

The difference between the

He’s the king of mixed signals,
and I’m the queen of second thoughts.
- (postsecret)

459.
I used to be intimidated and frustrated by
not playing the music right. This led me to
not practice regularly despite the fact that
I enjoyed playing. When I did practice, I
was more focused on playing it "perfectly"
such that I'd always start from the beginning
if I made a mistake when I was into the piece.
But I learned that practicing takes lots of small
steps, iterations, refinement, and thought to
make progress. Although I haven't "mastered"
what goals I wanted to attain when I meet
weekly with my instructor, I know that I'm
still in the process of improving. And I find
that there's more joy in going through this
process - the challenges and discoveries - than
just performing the final piece flawlessly. ♥

458.
Keep a memory of me, not as a king or
a hero; but as a man: fallible and flawed.
- (beowulf) ♥

457.
We do not follow maps to
buried treasure and X never,

- (indiana jones and the last crusade) ♥

456.
Every time you meet someone, make an impression.
Make them think you're the hottest thing in the world.
Make them think they're going to lose their job if they
don't give you one. Look them in the eye and never
look away. Be confident and calm. Be bold.
- my friend leonard (by james frey) *edited profanity.

455.
You always disappoint me.
It's kinda like our own inside
joke, except it's not funny.

454.
Sooner or later you're going to realize,
just as I did, that there's a difference between
knowing the path and walking the path.
- (the matrix) ♥

453.
I'm a failure as a woman. My men expect so
much of me, because of the image they've made
of me - and that I've made of myself - as a sex
symbol. They expect bells to ring and whistles to
whistle, but my anatomy is the same as any other
woman's and I can't live up to it.
- (marilyn monroe)

A good friend says, "if you

Oh girl, you're too much.
I'm burning up right now
and I need your touch.
Come on let's take a ride,
crash and we'll collide.
Just give it a chance tonight.
- sugar rush lyrics (cash cash)

45o.
Everyone says that love hurts, but that's not
true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing
someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these
things confused with love, but in reality, love is
the only thing in this world that covers up all the
pain and makes someone feel wonderful again.
- twilight (by stephenie meyer) ♥

449.
These are good folk around

I wish it could just be simple,
like a retro pop song, "I want

My life without you is

What one has not experienced,
one will never understand in print.
- my life (by isadora auncan) ♥

443.
What is family? They were the people who
claimed you. In good, in bad, in parts or in
whole, they were the ones who showed up,
who stayed there, regardless. It wasn’t just
about blood or relations or shared chromosomes,
but something wider, bigger. We had many
families over time. Our family of origin, the
family we created, and the groups you moved
through while all of this was happening: friends,
lovers, sometimes even strangers. None of
them perfect, and we couldn’t expect them
to be. You can’t make any one person your
world. The trick was to take what each
could give you and build your world from it.
- lock and key (by sarah dessen) ♥

442.
Have you ever realized how scary life is?
I mean, you simply don't know what's going
to happen to you. Are you going to live 'til
you're a hundred years old? Are you gonna
have a big, happy family with ten kids? Are
you gonna discover something that will change
the world? Are you gonna die a nice, peaceful
death in your sleep? Will you die of cancer, or
some other sickness or are you gonna die tomorrow
in a car accident? Your life isn't like some predictable
movie, where you can figure out what's going to
happen in the end. Life is a scary thing. So why
isn't the whole world freaking out? Because we're
all dealing with the same problem.

441.
And maybe, there really are days
that offer answers. Maybe, in the
midst of searching for what we want
to find, we discover something else.

44o.
Right now I’m with exactly who I want to be with
- my best friend. You are high school to me. All of
the boyfriends and mean girls and tests and teachers
and our crazy mothers, we learned through it together.
We raised each other. You’re my sister.

438.
No, no, that's not it. Listen, you'd better treat
this lady like a queen. Because you, you my friend,
have found the perfect woman. If I was ever so
lucky to find the perfect woman, I would give her
flowers every day. And not just any flowers, okay?
Her favorites are orchids. White. And I would bring
her breakfast every day. Six loaves of wheat bread
with butter on both sides. No crusts. Just the way
she likes it. I'd be her shoulder to cry on and her best
friend. and I'd spend every day thinking of ways to make
her laugh. She has the most amazing laugh. That's what
I would do, if I were you. But I'm not. So you do it.
- (madagascar: escape 2 africa) ♥

437.
I used to think love wasn't worth fighting for,
but when I saw you I was ready for war.

They say one day your life will flash

435.
I've been waiting so long for
these words to come out. It's
practically all I've been thinking
about. So thank you for finding
the words I couldn't find on
my own, now I'm not alone.
- mockingbird lyrics (chase coy)

434.
This is not my strongest point,
that she knows. She pardons
me for stepping on her toes.
I've heard she's a pageant queen,
so what's she doing dancing with me?
I hope time could stop.
It's hard for me to breathe.
She's really falling in love with me.
What should I say? What should I do?
Don't let this end now. Slow this dance
down. I could stay here all night, forever.
- slow dance lyrics (framing hanley) ♥

433.
Most people don’t know who
they are, that’s why they lie.
They’re afraid someone else
will figure it out before they do.
- (one tree hill)

432.
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in
your heart and try to love the questions
themselves. Do not now seek the answers,
which cannot be given you because you
would not be able to live them. And the
point is to live everything. Live the questions.
- (rainer maria rilke) ♥

431.
Nature is about balance. All the
world comes in pairs. Yin and Yang.
Right and Wrong. Men and Women.

Everyone smiles in

You know why we a good
partnership, Forrest? 'Cause

another. Like brothers and stuff.
- (forrest gump)

428.
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) ♥

427.
I did! I told him I wouldn't teach
him any more. But he refused to
accept it, he just kept coming back.
It began to feel like our secret,
and well, secrets can be seductive.
- (notes on a scandal) ♥

426.
I’m trying hard to speak, but I
can’t speak proper so I just shut
my mouth and I do what I am told
to do. I can’t conclude if I should
fall in love with you. Maybe what
they say is true, “Love is speechless.”
- roll right over lyrics (eye alaska) ♥

425.
Treat everyone with politeness,
even those who are rude to you
- not because they are nice, but
because you are. ♥

424.
We don't talk anymore,
and I can't understand why.
It's like you gave me wings,
then told me it's illegal to fly.

423.
The greater danger for
most of us lies not in
setting our aim too high
and falling short; but in
setting our aim too low,
and achieving our mark.
- (michelangelo)

422.
There are other things we have
to find before we find each other.
- (the wonder years) ♥

421.
So let's say that theoretically I really like
you. And theoretically, even though it sounds
moronically cliche and overused, you give
me butterflies. And just for kicks, let's add
that, all in theory of course, you may be one
of the most wonderful people I have ever met.
And hypothetically, my heart beats ten times
faster when I see you. Do you think that you
would supposedly, and in the most theoretical
sense, feel the same way?

42o.
You do your thing, I'll do mine.
You go your way, I'll go mine.
And if we end up together, it's beautiful.

And please, nothing fuzzy-wuzzy.
Topanga: Uh, a falcon.

We just heard principal turner read a list of
Erica's accomplishments. I could try to do that
for Brooke but it would be a pretty short speech.
As you know, Brooke’s probably one of the most
popular people at school, something I’m definitely
not. And yet, she’s my friend. She never cared what
clique I was part of, the kind of clothes I wore, or
the fact that I have to ride the bus. She looked past
that stuff, and when you think about it, isn’t that what
we want in our president? Someone who can see past
the superficial differences and bring us together? This
year, Brooke’s had her share of ups and downs, just
like all of us. But, most of you never saw it, because
even when life got hard, Brooke never let it in. She was
just Brooke. Tough, smart, one of a kind. And I don’t
know about you, but those are the kinds of things I
look for in a leader. Brooke Davis is my friend but
that’s not why I’m voting for her. I’m voting for her
because of her heart and her spirit. And because she’s
the best person for the job.

I don’t know if we each have a

A drop in the ocean.
A change in the weather.
I was praying that you and me might
end up together. It's like wishing for
rain as I stand in the desert, but I'm
holding you closer than most,
'cause you are my Heaven.
- a drop in the ocean lyrics (ron pope)

414.
Maybe who we are isn't so

A man’s true secrets are

- (paul valery)

4o9.
People are afraid of themselves, of
their own reality; their feelings most
of all. People talk about how great
love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts.
Feelings are disturbing. People are
taught that pain is evil and dangerous.
How can they deal with love if they’re
afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake
us up. People try to hide their pain.
But they’re wrong. Pain is something
to carry, like a radio. You feel your
strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in
how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is
a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your
own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and
hide them, you’re letting society destroy your
reality. You should stand up for your
right to feel your pain.
- (jim morrison) ♥

4o8.
Oh brother, I can’t I can't get through,
I've been tryin’ hard to reach you ‘cause

You’ve got your passion,

But don’t you know that

When will you realize
Vienna waits for you?
- vienna lyrics (billy joel) ♥

4o6.
I don’t know if you’ve ever felt like that.
That you want to sleep for a thousand years.
Or just not exist. Or just not be aware that
you exist. Or something like that. I think
wanting that is very morbid, but I want it
when I get like this. That’s why I’m trying
not to think. I just want it to all stop spinning.
- (perks of being a wallflower)

I find that if you keep acting

Pull yourself together,

Make every door you walk

- for heaven's sake lyrics (thriving ivory) ♥

4o3.
Most people I know fill their days
with meaningless bullshit, small talk,
and trivial diversions just to keep
the noise in their own heads down.

4o2.
When something begins you generally have no
idea how it’s going to end. The house you were
going to sell becomes your home, the roommates
you’re forced to take in become your family, and
the one night stand you were determined to forget
becomes the love of your life.
- (grey’s anatomy)

4o1.
I'm high and I'm happy and I'm free.
I got my whole heart laid out right in front of me.
And I can finally see the way it's always been:
the need for peace starts from within.
- seahorse lyrics (devendra banhart) ♥

4oo.
People need to see that,
far from being an obstacle,

languages, religions, and traditions

us precious opportunities
to recognize ourselves in others.

The greatest weakness of most

Sometimes you just feel empty, lonely, insignificant.
And it doesn’t matter what you do, no it doesn’t matter
how many laps you run, musicals you join, classes you
skip or how many pairs of shoes you buy - you still feel
like crap. Sometimes i just feel like taking off, selling
everything I own and running away to somewhere so
distant, running away into the unknown. ♥

395.
There seems to be a kind of order
in the universe, in the movement of
the stars and the turning of the earth

human life is almost pure chaos.
Everyone takes a stance, asserts his
own rights and feelings, mistaking the
motives or others and his own.

We were so in love and perfect,
but just like the colors of the blue
sky fading gray, our world is slowly
fading away. I've come to realize that
you can't get what you want usually.
You can't just sit there waiting to be
noticed. You can't sit there expecting
someone to love you, because the
person who feels the same way just
may be waiting and sitting like you.
You need to find each other. ♥

Never buy a piece of art that
you don't have to have. You
know, don't worry about who
the artist is or how much it's worth.
I mean, you have to live with it
everyday. You have to walk by
it everyday. You have to really
love it; you have to really appreciate
it. It's kind of like picking a mate.

We all think we’re going to be great and
we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations
aren’t met. But, sometimes expectations sell us
short. Sometimes the expected simply pales in
comparison to the unexpected. You’ve got to
wonder why we cling to our expectations, because
the expected is just what keeps us steady. Standing.
Still, the expected is just the beginning, the unexpected
is what changes our lives.

Sometimes I wonder about my life. I lead a
small life. Well, not small, but valuable. And
sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like
it, or because I haven't been brave? So much
of what I see reminds me of something I read
in a book, when shouldn't it be the other way
around? I don't really want an answer. I just
want to send this cosmic question out into the
void. So good night, dear void.

He spends his nights in California,
watching the stars on the big screen.
Then he lies awake and wonders,
"Why can't that be me?" 'Cause in
his life, he's filled with all these good
intentions. He's left a lot of things he'd
rather not mention right now. But just
before he says goodnight, he looks up
with a little smile at me and he says, "If
I could be like that, I'd give anything,
just to live one day in those shoes. If
I could be like that, what would I do?

No, idiot. I wasn't disgusted with her, I was

I'd lacked experience, like I'd never be on her
level, like I'd never be enough for her or something
like that, you know what I'm saying? But, what I did
not get, she didn't care. She wasn't looking for that
guy anymore. She was - she was looking for me,
for - for the Bob. But, uh, by the time I figure this
all out, it was too late, man. She moved on, & all
I had to show for it was some foolish pride, which
then gave way to regret. She was the girl, I know
that now. But, I pushed her away. So I've spent
every day since then chasing Amy... so to speak.

When you fall in love, it is a temporary madness.

Too often, the thing you want

about pains in my chest and stuff like that. He
listened to me and looked at me and said,
"There's nothing wrong with you". So, I told him
about my plan, and he liked it, so he sent me to
the hospital and got an x-ray, after some blood tests.

Some people, they can just move on, you know,

just something that happened. And I'm just finding ways,
every day, of working around it. Respecting and
remembering and getting on at the same time.

There was a silence between them for a
moment, and she wondered if all women,
when in love, were torn between two impulses,

be cool, aloof, utterly detached, to die rather

Let me ask you something. If someone prays for
patience, you think God gives them patience?
Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient?
If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage?

If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you
think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings,
or does he give them opportunities to love each other?

I have this theory that the more important
and intimate the emotion, the fewer the words
are required to express it. For instance, in dating,
"Will you go out with me?" Six words. "I think
I care for you." Five words. "You matter to me."
Four words. "I love you." Three words.
"Marry me." Two words. So what's left?
What's the most important and intimate word you
can ever say to somebody? It's "goodbye."
Or maybe even, "hello."

Doctor Manhattan: Thermo-dynamic miracles...
events with odds against so astronomical they're
effectively impossible, like oxygen spontaneously
becoming gold. I long to observe such a thing.
And yet, in each human coupling, a thousand million
sperm vie for a single egg. Multiply those odds by
countless generations, against the odds of your
ancestors being alive; meeting; siring this precise son;
that exact daughter... Until your mother loves a man
she has every reason to hate, and of that union, of the
thousand million children competing for fertilization,
it was you, only you, that emerged. To distill so specific
a form from that chaos of improbability, like turning air
to gold... that is the crowning unlikelihood. The thermo
-dynamic miracle.
Laurie Juspeczyk: But, if me, my birth, if that's a
thermo-dynamic miracle... I mean, you could say that
about anybody in the world!
Dr. Manhattan: Yes. Anybody in the world... but the
world is so full of people, so crowded with these miracles
that they become commonplace and we forget... I forget.
We gaze continually at the world and it grows dull in our
perceptions. Yet seen from the another's vantage point. As
if new, it may still take our breath away. Come, dry your
eyes. For you are life, rarer than a quark and unpredictable
beyond the dreams of Heisenberg; the clay in which
the forces that shape all things leave their
fingerprints most clearly.

And it's a world of hurt, nothing works.
It's a lonely little planet made of dust and dirt.
Who'd ever think that in the midst of all this,

heaven doesn't seem like such a mystery.
Darling in a world of hurt,
you make me feel so good.

The most important things are the hardest to say.
They are the things you get ashamed of, because
words diminish them -- words shrink things that
seemed limitless when they were in your head to
no more than living size when they're brought out.
But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important
things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is
buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies
would love to steal away. And you may make
revelations that cost you dearly only to have people
look at you in a funny way, not understanding what
you've said at all, or why you thought it was so
important that you almost cried while you were
saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the
secret stays locked within not for want of a
tellar but for want of an understanding ear.

you could wind up in a doctor's

You fake a stomach cramp, and

It's not about how many people you know
or the number of boyfriends you've had.
It's not about competition, who has more
friends or more plans on a Friday night.
It's all about who you associate yourself
with, how they make you feel about yourself,
and how they're able to treat you right.
It's all about you're ability to have fun;
not about how many moments you have,
but how these moments make you realize
life's beauty and excitement. It's not about
settling and being content when you could
be out there searching for pure happiness.
Of course, I'm still living my life, but I'm
sure I've reached that happiness, and I
plan on staying there for a long, long time.

I want to say that I am more ashamed of what I did
in that classroom yesterday than anything I have ever
done in my life. It was flat wrong and I have no case
here. And I'm sorry, for the event. But not now, not ever,
will I be apologetic for its intention. Every day, we,
the students of Capeside, come to a place where you
guys are in charge. You tell us when to arrive, when to
leave, when to move rooms, when to eat. You tell us
when we're doing well; when we need to be doing better
and we never ever question it because we're afraid to. To
question it is to go against the belief that the entire system
is built upon, the belief that you guys know what's right,
and I'm not afraid to tell you that what happened in that
classroom yesterday was not right. To make a student
cry, to embarrass him, to strip him of his dignity in front
of the entire class is not right. While I do respect the
system I do not respect men like you.
I don't, I can't, and I never will.

Um, thank you. I'm not much for public speaking.
Or much for speaking. Or, come to think of it,
much for the public. And I'm not very good at
lying. So let me just say that, in my experience,
high school sucks. If I had to do it all over again,
I'd have started advanced placement classes in
preschool so I could go from eighth grade straight
to college. However, given the unalterable fact
that high school sucks, I'd like to add that if you're
lucky enough to have a good friend and a family
that cares it doesn't have to suck quite as much.
Otherwise my advice is; stand firm for what you
believe in, until and unless experience proves you
wrong. Remember, when the emperor looks naked,
the emperor is naked. The truth and a lie are not sort
of the same thing. And there is no aspect, no facet,
no moment of life that can't be improved with pizza.
Thank you.

Maybe being grateful means recognizing
what you have for what it is. Appreciating

thankful for all the things we'll never know. 
At the end of the day, the fact that we have
the courage to still be standing is reason
enough to celebrate.

things can fall together.

You know when you were a little kid and you believed
in fairy tales - that fantasy of what your life would be,
white dress, prince charming who would carry you
away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night
and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith.
Santa claus, the tooth fairy, prince charming, they were so
close you could taste them. But, eventually you grow up.
One day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears.
Most people turn to the things and people they can trust.
But the thing is, it's hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely,
because almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith,
that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true.

I’m learning to master the art of growing up,
and let me tell you, it's a long process. It's full
of tripping, saying something you regret, getting
grounded, blaming others for something you did,
staying up late, trying to fit in, pigging out and
laughing too hard. Taking pictures, singing too
loud to old songs, getting bad grades, fighting
with parents, spending money too fast and
backstabbing friends. Stupid crushes and falling
too fast, trying to hold onto something that simply
won't last. Lending a hand, giving advice, dressing
to impress, trying to look nice. Putting on an act,
fooling no one but yourself, learning to forgive
and to put your pride on the shelf. Rainy Mondays
and crazy Saturday nights, secret tears cried when
you turn off the lights. Making a complete fool of
yourself in front of everyone. Not taking life
seriously, just having fun. Life is a rollercoaster;
it ain't no merry go round. There are times when
it's up and times when it's down. But at the very
end when you get off the ride, you realize you've
had the time of your life.

even if we don't have the power to choose where
we come from, we can still choose where we go
from there.

Maybe we like the pain.
Maybe we're wired that way.
Because without it... I don't know,
maybe we just wouldn't feel real.

keep hitting myself with a hammer?
Because it feels so good when I stop.

I love that you get cold when it is 71 degrees out.
I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order
a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle in
your nose when you’re looking at me like I’m nuts.
I love that after I spend day with you, I can still
smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that
you are the last person I want to talk to before I
go to sleep at night. And it’s not because I’m lonely,
and it’s not because it’s New Year’s Eve. I came
here tonight because when you realize you want to
spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want
the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

Times were tough, but the memories remain.
Situations were rough, but we overcame.
Side by side; together we grew.
Cause when it's said and done, I'll look back

Remember all of the good times &
all of the special people that were
with you during them. Let go of the
past, but don't forget it cause there
are a great many things that can be
learned from what you have been
through. And most importantly: 
follow your heart, stand up for what
you believe in, and take your own path,
always do what you want to do.

144.
I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what
happened to me... 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
balloon that's about to burst... and then I
remember to relax and stop trying to hold on to
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.

Parting a soup is not a miracle. It's a magic trick.
A single mom who's working two jobs, and still
finds time to take her son to soccer practice,
that's a miracle. A teenager who says 'no' to drugs

want me to do everything for them. What they
don't realize is they have the power. You want
to see a miracle, son? Be the miracle.

An odd thing happens when we die, our senses vanish.
Taste, touch, smell and sound become a distant memory,
but our sight? Our sight expands and we can suddenly
see the world we left behind so clearly. Of course most

living, if they would only take the time to look.

Never lie, steal, cheat or drink.

A person is never as quiet or unrestrained as they seem,
as bad or as good, as vulnerable or as strong, as sweet

but the binding. It can rip us apart or hold us together. ♥

You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are?
You're chicken, you've got no guts. You're afraid to stick out
your chin and say, 'Okay, 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,' and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you
in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it
yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or
in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no
matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.

Ever wonder how long it takes to change your life?
What measure of time is enough to be life-altering?
Is it four years, like high school? One year?
An eight-week walking tour?
Can your life change in a month, or a week, or a single day?
We're always in a hurry to grow up, to go places, to get ahead...
but when you're young, one hour can change everything.

124.
Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we
really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't
work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves and
then we have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what
I need. I need more hellos.

This is where it ends, I'm putting my foot down.
I'm sick of second guessing and I'm sick of falling

We're rising up to show the world our scars,
from a former life that we'd rather not hide.

121.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond
all measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be
brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually,
who are you not to be? As we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give people permission to do the same.

It's those moments when you hang around
in a room full of friends, where you gasp for
breath between each laugh. It's those
moments where you get high off just breathing
in so deep, you feel your lungs getting cold.
For a second, that split second, you don't
care. You don't care about school, about
parents, about money, about rules, or broken
hearts. Who you care about are the kids
sitting next to you. 'Cause it's all we really need, isn't it?
Those kids next to you.

I'm not even asking him to open the door for me,
just leave it unlocked and let me come in.
But, no, he didn't do that, so I'm hanging
onto the bumper and life goes on and the

And yesterday I had to let go of the bumper because

If you're feeling frightened about what comes next,
don't be. Embrace the uncertainty. Allow it to lead

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.

It's true that we never saw

being told that we're just not good enough.
We've seen anorexia and bulimia

I learned what is obvious to a child. That life is simply

Success is a ladder you can not
climb with your hands in your pockets.
- (american proverb)

21.
I won't give up, no I won't break down.
Sooner than it seems life turns around.
And I will be strong, even if it all goes wrong.
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
someones watching over me.
- someones watching over me (hilary duff)

2o.
What you have done is the past. And you alone get to
determine what your future will be. You are not your past.
You are what is possible for you. Own this truth and go
forward in your life. Forgive yourself, and others will be
able to forgive you.
- (oprah winfrey)

19.
The world ain't all sunshines and rainbows.
It's can be a very rough, mean place.
And no matter how tough you think you are,
it'll always bring you to your knees and keep you there permanently,
if you let it. You're nobody and your never gonna hit as hard as life.
But, it ain't about how hard you hit. Its about how hard you can get
hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take,
and keep moving forward. If you know what your worth,
go out and get what your worth.
But, you've got to be willing to take the hit.

18.
When you look at a person, any person,
remember that everyone has a story.
Everyone has gone through something that
has changed them. For better or for worse,
well, that depends on the main character.

17.
Out of the things you wear,
your expression is the most important. ♥

16.
Change is a funny thing.
We are never quite sure what we are becoming or why.
Then one day we look at ourselves and wonder who we
are, and how we got there.

15.
Worrying is like a rocking chair.
It gives you something to do
but it doesn't get you anywhere.
♥

14.
Imperfection is beauty,
madness is genius.
And its better to be
absolutely ridiculous,
than absolutely boring.
- (marilyn monroe)

13.
God gave use two eyes, two ears, two arms,
two legs, two feet, two hands, but he only gave
use one heart, do you want to know why?
Because he gave the other one to someone else
and it's your job to find it. ♥

12.
I'm afraid of not having enough time,
not enough time to understand people,
how they really are, or even to be
understood myself. I'm afraid of quick
judgments and mistakes that everybody makes -
you can't fix them without time.

11.
It’s not about being perfect,
or trying to stay standing just to stand.
Not all the time. What’s more
important is that you try and fly,
to spread your wings wide. And
if you fall, whether it’s a 1ooo feet,
or 2o inches, you get back up. You
pick yourself up carrying a new lesson
with you. Learning from that fall, and
planning to try harder next time until
you can truly fly. And your flying on
your own terms, in a way that makes
you happier than anything else can.

1o.
Phycologists say you judge a person
the first 15 seconds you meet them.
Let's be the first to prove the experts wrong. ♥

o9.
Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo,
but what you want is someone who will take the
bus with you when the limo brakes down.
- (oprah winfrey)

o8.
And in the end, it's not the years in your
life that count. It's the life in your years.
- (abe lincoln) ♥

o7.
As I grow to understand life less and less,
I learn to love it more and more.
- (jules renard) ♥

o6.
While every other girl doodles
hearts in her notebook,
I doodle tiny stars; little wishes
for everything to turn out okay.

o5.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed
by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.
- (mark twain) 

o4.
Sometimes, the most real things in
the world are the things we can't see.
- (the polar express) ♥

o3.
If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. 
If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.
- (chinese proverb) ♥

o2.
I'm fine. I mean, I'm not over it,
but little by little it's getting easier
to pretend it's easier, which means
easier might be right around the corner.

o1.
Because sometimes you have something you need to
say but you can't, because the words won't come out
or you get scared or you feel stupid, so if you could
write a song, and sing it, then you could say what you
need to say and it would be beautiful and people would
listen and you wouldn't make a complete idiot out of
yourself, but, all of us can't be songwriters so some
of us will never be able to say what we're thinking or
what we want other people to know  we're thinking
so we'll never get the chance to make things right again.
