| May 12, 2007 "I've got a great ambition to die of Ordinary? No, I really don't think so. I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be. ~ Douglas Adams But no matter what was going on in our lives, I could imagine lying beside her in bed at the end of the day, holding her while we talked and laughed, lost in each other's arms. ~ Nicholas Sparks, Dear John “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever ... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” ~ Aaron Siskind
08.10.06 If only you knew exactly what I’m crazy about. If I could explain love in one word, it would have to be trust. Trust that he doesn’t cheat on you, trust that he doesn’t lie to you, trust that he really likes you, trust that he will always be there for you, trust that he can go to a party and not get high or drunk, trust that you don’t have to worry about him breaking up with you the second you wake up, trust that he will stick up for you, trust that he will never fall in love with another girl, trust that he won’t just get sick of you, and trust that he wants you like you want him. Sometimes, when you are covered in mud cause you lost your balance on your two-wheeler, you need your best friend to invite you to his tree house and ask you what happened. On the street I saw a small girl, cold and shivering in a thin dress with little hope of a decent meal. I became angry and said to God, “Why did you permit this? Why don’t you do something about it?” For a while God said nothing. That night He replied quite suddenly, “I certainly did something about it. I made you.” Getting ahead in a difficult profession -- singing, acting, writing, whatever -- requires avid faith in yourself. You must be able to sustain yourself against staggering blows and unfair reversals. When I think back to those first couple of years in Rome, those endless rejections, without a glimmer of encouragement from anyone, all those failed screen tests, and yet I never let my desire slide away from me, my belief in myself and what I felt I could achieve. ~ Sophia Loren It's kind of fun to do the impossible. ~ Walt Disney Sometimes I think it’s better to suffer bitter unhappiness and
to fight and to scream out, and even to suffer terrible pain, than just
to be … safe. At least she knows she’s living.
~ A Tree Grows in Brooklyn 09.09.06 That's the risk you take if you change: that people you've been involved with won't like the new you. But other people who do will come along. ~ Lisa Alther It's easy for me to say ... I love you. ~ Clint Black I came in search for my home ... what I found
was you. It feels good to be home. So if I stand, let me stand on the
promise that You will pull me through. Every time my head was in my hands, you said to me ... "Someone loves you even when you don't think so. Don't you know? You've got me and Jesus by your side. Through the fight, you will never be alone. You've got me and Jesus." --StellarKart A photo says, "You were happy, and I wanted to catch that." A photo says, "You were so important to me that I put down everything else to come watch." --Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper So if you're wondering, you're absolutely amazing to me. And in the middle of all this, I started to think about the one thing that makes me feel really good and makes immediate sense … and it's you. ~ Broadcast News Sometimes we’ll be piled on the couch wearing sweats, eating the kind of ice cream we like, watching our favorite TV show, talking in the shorthand way we talk that nobody understands, and I’ll realize that this every day, simple, no-big-deal moment … this is my happiness.
--21.03.06-- I know I have to be careful with this kind of relationship we have. And I think the best way of doing that is to just let things ride out on their own, and see what happens next. I don't want to jump into something that still might not be ready to become something more again. Sometimes I wish that we could be so much closer than this. ~ Daphne Loves Derby, "Aware, Rust, Repair" There are times of clouds, and times of sun. Because everything that’s meant to happen … does. ~ American Beauty I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words how wonderful life is when you’re in the world. ~ Elton John You know I'm thinking of you. I miss you. ~ Jimmy Eat World ((miss you KDC)) I always say what I feel and that is a promise. Nothing in life is above being honest. ~ 311 I cannot choose to be strong, but I can choose to be joyful. And when I’m willing to do that, strength will follow. ~ F. Scott Fizgerald Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you’ve imagined. ~ Henry David Thoreau If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities. ~ Maya Angelou
--13.02.06-- I like that someone like you sees something in me. --One Tree Hill That's the difference between me and the rest of the world... happiness isn't good enough for me. I demand euphoria. ~ Calvin and Hobbes Some things are more than what you say, they're what you do. Some things you say cause there's no other choice. Some things you keep to yourself. And not too often, but every now and then, some things simply speak for themselves. ~ Grey's Anatomy You make me melt like a Popsicle on the Fourth of July. ~ Little Rascals It's all right to feel good; it’s all right for nothing to be wrong. ~ 311 The sweetest thing of all is that of my own name spoken by the boy I care about. ~ Life's Little Treasure Book
--19.01.06-- There must be an angel with a smile on her face when she thought up there that I should be with you. ~ James Blunt, "Beautiful" Cory: Shawn, you gonna be ok? [Six] thousand miles seems pretty far but they’ve got planes and trains and cars. I’d walk to you if I had no other way. ~ Daphne Lovers Derby We are the lucky ones; some people never get to do all we got to do. ~ Carole King A few more hours to be complete … a few more times that I can say I’ve loved these days. ~ Billy Joel A friend of mine said that you reach a point when your parents don’t tell you to go to sleep anymore. Some people get to that age and never put themselves to bed. That’s me, there’s just too much to do. ~ Andy Kaufman When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the hell? Leap. ~ Cynthia Hiemel Feelings are not supposed to be logical. ~ David Borenstein
--17.01.06-- Life here never ceases to amaze me. ~ Nicholas Sparks One day you’re going to learn something that can’t be explained with science and when that happens, your life’s going to change in ways you can’t imagine. ~ Nicholas Sparks It's okay to need each other. That's what makes us strong, that's what makes us human. Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on. ~ Bob Newhart Hands down, this is the best day I can ever remember. ~ Dashboard Confessional Dory: Come on, trust me on this one. All the nights we stayed up talking and listening to 80s songs, quoting lines from all those movies that we love. It still brings a smile to my face. ~ The Ataris, “In This Diary”
--13.01.06-- William: I have to go home. Some frogs will still be frogs, some dogs will still be dogs. But some boys can become men. ~ Superchick, "Song for Tricia (Princes and Frogs)" A friend is someone who understands why you like your strawberry sodas without any strawberries in them. ~ Charlie Brown Maybe we could be each other’s soul mates. And men could be these great nice guys to have fun with. ~ Sex and the City
--10.21.05-- I'm [6000] miles from home, sleeping in my clothes, living like I never have before. Happiness is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness; it is generally the by-product of other activities. ~ Aldous Huxley He knew before he'd taken his next breath that she was the one he
could spend the rest of his life looking for, but never find again.
~ Nicholas Sparks The hardest thing is loving someone and then having
the courage to let them love you back. ~ The Wedding Date We are looking for the holes, the holes in your jeans because we want to know ... are they worn out in the seat or are they worn out in the knees? ~ Ani DiFranco You meet someone and you just click. You have the same ideas about life. You don't even have to finish your sentences because the other person already knows what you mean. -- Starting From Square Two by Caren Lissner You know, I think a guy becomes friends with a girl and vice versa, because they are both attracted to each other when they first meet. And if they weren’t attracted to each other, they would never have given each other a second look. A male friend who is not a boyfriend is just a boyfriend under glass ... break in case of emergency. A real conversation changes the people who have it. I don't have a lot to say ... but I could talk to you for hours. ~ Pat Green
9.18.05 I need to get away from here, away from all the mistakes I've been
making. ~ One Tree Hill I’m not joking when I tell you I miss you all the time, I already miss you all the time. ~ Alkaline Trio I really can't deny it. I am who I am. I'm pretty normal. I'm not that smooth type of girl. I run into things. I spill food. I say stupid things. I really don't have it all together. ~ Katie Holmes There have been lots of ups and downs, but ultimately, at the end of the day, that's what makes you who you are. We all know how to laugh, we all know how to cry, and we all know how to love back. We all know heartbreak, but the world keeps moving, and we keep moving along with it. And everything we experience helps us realize how beautiful life really is. I've been waiting all my life for a chance like this. It's the chance of a lifetime, I just know it is.
--9.10.05-- I need to know that God has things figured out, that if my math is wrong we are still going to be okay. ~ Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller There is this lie floating around that says I am supposed to be able to do life alone, without any help, without stopping to worship something bigger than myself. But I actually believe there is something bigger than me, and I need for there to be something bigger than me. I need someone to put awe inside me; I need to come second to someone who has everything figured out. ~ Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller I have doubts at times, but mostly I believe in Him. It's like there's something in me that causes me to believe, and I can't explain it. ~ Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller You were there in the beginning. The first person that ever told me I could be more than what I was and believed it. There isn't anything I wouldn't share with you. The world is not respectable ... it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever; but it is shot through with beauty, love, with glints of courage and laughter, and in these, the spirit blooms . -- George Santayan Friends are … the people you are reminded of when you see something they might like and you know this because you know them so well. They are the people whose pictures you have and whose faces are in your head, regardless. They are the people you see in your mind when you hear a song on the radio because they made you go up to the person they liked and ask them to dance with your friend, or maybe you danced with them. Maybe they stepped on your toes, or just put their head on your shoulder. They are the people you feel safe around because you know they care about you. They call just to see how you are doing, because a friend doesn't need an excuse. They tell you the truth, the first time, and you do the same. You know that if you have a problem, they are there to listen. They are the people who won't laugh at you or hurt you, and if they do hurt you they try hard to make it up to you. They are the people you love, regardless of whether you realize it or not. They are the people you cried with when you got rejected from colleges and during the last song at prom and at graduation. They are the people that when you hug them, you don't think about how long to hug and who's going to be the first one to let go. Maybe they are the people that hold the rings at your wedding, or maybe they are the people that give you away at your wedding, or maybe they are the people you marry. They are certainly the people that cry at your wedding because they are happy or because they are proud or because they are so in love. They are the people who stop you from making mistakes and help you when you do. They are the people whose hand you can hold, or you can hug or give them a kiss and not have it be awkward because they understand the things you do and they love you for them. They stick with you and stand by you. They hold your hand. They watch you live and you watch them live and you learn from them. Your life is not the same without them. The years go by. The time, it does fly. Every single second is a moment in time that passes oh so quick and it seems like nothing. But when you're looking back … well, it amounts to everything. ~ Catch 22 What is hardest to accept about the passage of time is that the people who once mattered the most to us are wrapped up in parentheses. ~ John Irving And I wanted you so much
--8.09.05-- In a great romance, each person plays a part the other really likes. --Elizabeth Ashley I can't look away from you ... your smile takes me away from the world and the way you worry about me keeps me alive. I ain't here to argue about His facial features You don't have to worry about me not loving you tomorrow. His eyes make me feel safe. He makes my heart smile. Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees. ~ Victor Hugo Well, it’s been a while now, but I can still feel so much pain. ~ Poison I guess what they say is true; the people you work with really do become your family. Like your brother, and your sister-in-law, or that cousin you have funny feelings for, and that crazy uncle everyone sorta hopes isn't coming this year. ~ Scrubs I don’t mind living in a man’s world as long as I can be a woman in it. ~ Marilyn Monroe It started out like any other summer, every single joy and fear -- that’s how we found each other and we found ourselves. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.
--8.02.05-- I used to be afraid of so many things: that I’d
never grow up, that I’d be trapped in the same place
for all eternity … that my dreams would forever be shy
of my reach. It’s true what they say. Time plays tricks on
you. One day you’re dreaming, the next your dream has become your
reality. And now that the scared little girl no longer follows
me wherever I go, I miss her. I do. Because there are
things that I want to tell her: to relax, to lighten up,
that it is all going to be okay. I want her to know
that meeting people who like you, who understand you, who actually
accept you for who you are … will become an increasingly rare occurrence.
I wondered how beautiful it might be to think of others
as more important than myself. I wondered at how peaceful
it might be not to be pestered by that childish voice
that wants for pleasure and attention. I wondered what
it would be like not to live in a house of mirrors, everywhere I
go being reminded of myself. ~ Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller The biggest lie you ever told, your deepest fear about growing old. The longest night you ever spent, the angriest letter you never sent. The one you kissed on New Year’s Eve, the sweetest dream you had last night. Your darkest hour, your hardest fight. The saddest song you ever heard, the most you said with just one word. The loneliest prayer you ever prayed, the truest vow you ever made. What makes you laugh, what makes you cry, what makes you mad, what gets you by. Your highest high, your lowest low … these are the things I want to know. To be completely honest: you’re not like all the rest. I don't have a lot to say ... but I could talk to you for hours. ~ Pat Green Not afraid to fall because I trust the ground I walk on. A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns her back again. ~ Enid Bagnold He’s everything in summer dreams that fills your head with smiles.
--4.09.05-- And when the lights went out, you kept on shining. You want to know what happiness is? It's waking up in the middle of the night, shifting under the blankets and feeling the heart of the person next to you. You turn around and see them in their most peaceful, innocent, and vulnerable state. They breathe as though the weight of the world lays on anyones shoulders but their own. You smile, kiss their face in the most gentle manner so as not to wake them. You turn back and an involuntary grin forms on your face. You feel an arm wrap around your waste and you know it doesn't get any better than this. So just kiss me and let mey hair messy itself in your fingers. Let me steady myself in the arms of a man who won't ask me to be what he needs ... but lets me exist as I am. It's all right to feel good; it’s all right for nothing to be wrong. ~ 311 I think that you should know you never cease to amaze me. You keep me from going crazy and that's one thing I know for sure. ~ 311 It's nights like this when I feel alive. When every word that I say comes out perfect, watch my fingers touch my smile ... and every breath that we take is well worth it. And I'll live out my whole life to feel the way I did that night. These arms are so open tonight. It's nights like this we are alive, when every breath that I take is a promise ... a million stars light up this sky and every day of our lives are now worth it ... we're so worth it. ~ A Day at the Fair I looked at him and suddenly I had a feeling that everything around me was in focus. Be always ecstatic. Be filled with divine intoxication. ~ Henry Miller I’ve got a dream too, but it’s about singing and dancing and making people happy. That’s the kind of dream that gets better the more people you share it with. And, well, I’ve found a whole bunch of friends who have the same dream. And it kind of makes us like family. ~ Kermit
--3.21.05-- Would I be out of line if I said I miss you? ~ Incubus I get up. I walk. I fall down. Meanwhile, I keep dancing. ~ Hillel There are moments in life that you will always remember, not because they were important … just because you were there. Every memory has a soundtrack. In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. ~ Kahlil Gibran And I miss the way things used to be. ~ Benton Falls It's good to miss someone sometimes, even if it hurts your heart. I want to remember how you’ve made me laugh, and sometimes cry, and I never want to forget how special and different you are. And how you touch my heart in a way that no one else ever could.
--3.20.05-- I let go, watching you turn your back like you always do ... face away and pretend that I'm not. At what point do you say, "I'm counting on you to be the one ... I have no fallback plan." ~ Pitch Fever The world breaks everyone, and afterward many are strong at the broken places. ~ Hemmingway Look, you know we're supposed to be together. I knew it the first time I saw you two years ago, and you know it too. I know you do. Are you scared? 'Cause if you're scared ... you're not alone. ~ Kendall Paine There's a guy out there who is going to be really happy that you didn't get back together with your crappy ex-boyfriend. ~ He's Just Not That IntoYou Don't let the past dictate the future, but let it be a part of who you become. ~ My Big Fat Greek Wedding
--2.24.05-- But I have learned from my own experience, and I learn from those I meet, that we are never left to our own resources. We are never abandoned. A wellspring of goodness, of strength and confidence is within us, and when we listen with a feeling of trust, we are raised up. We are healed. We not only survive, but we love life. We laugh; we enjoy; we go forward with faith. ~ Kathleen H. Hughes So I'll check the weather wherever you are ... cause I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight -- it might be my only right. ~ John Mayer, "Split Screen Sadness" You're my peace of mind in this crazy world. You're everything I've tried to find, your love is a pearl. You're my Mona Lisa, you're my rainbow skies, and my only prayer is that you realize, you'll always be beautiful in my eyes. The world will turn and the seasons will change, and all the lessons we will learn will be beautiful and strange. We'll have our fill of tears, our share of sighs. My only prayer is that you realize you'll always be beautiful in my eyes. You will always be beautiful in my eyes. And the passing years will show that you will always grow more beautiful in my eyes. When there are lines upon my face from a lifetime of smiles, and when the time comes to embrace for one long last while, we can laugh about how time really flies. We won't say goodbye 'cause true love never dies, you'll always be beautiful in my eyes. ~ Joshua Kadison And ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation. In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart. ~ John Bunyan For the truly faithful, no miracle is necessary. For those who doubt, no miracle is sufficient. ~ Nancy Gibbs I got one of those boys I can come running to with my hair a mess, make up running down my face, my eyes all puffy and red from crying … and he’ll still look me in the eyes and say, “Baby, you’re beautiful.” Phone calls from further away and messages on my machine, but I don't ever tell you this distance seems terrible. There is no need to test my heart with useless space. These roads go on forever, and there will always be a place for you in my heart. ~ Dashboard Confessional
--02.22.05-- You were the last good thing about this part of town. ~ Fall Out Boy I just want to forget the past three years … the thing is, those past three years have been the best years of my life. ~ The Wonder Years Because life - much like a French movie - rarely makes any sense, but when it's right, it's right. And you don't question it. You don't think, you don't ponder. You just exist. ~ Dawson's Creek Jumping to conclusions made me fall away from you -- I'm so glad that the turth has brought back together me and you. ~ The Starting Line It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes. ~Sally Field Accept that all of us can be hurt, that all of us can, and surely will at times fail. Other vulnerabilities, like being embarrassed of risking love, can be terrifying too; I think we should follow a simple rule, if we can take the worst, take the risk. ~ Dr. Joyce Brothers There are two types of people in this world. Those who play hopscotch and sing in the shower, and those who lie alone at night and have tears in their eyes. For everyone there’s a person, place, or time that brings you back and makes you feel alive. We're going to have so much fun that we're going to need plastic surgery to wipe the smiles off our faces. ~ Chevy Chase My mom would like you because you’ve made me happier in the last two weeks than I have been in the last five years. ~ Nicholas Sparks, The Rescue It's not about having to like things all the time. Love is exciting and thrilling and it drives you so insane you just think you're gonna explode. That's the whole point. ~ Boys And Girls Tell me what you thought about when you were gone and so alone -- the worst is over, you can have the best of me. We got older but we're still young, we never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up. ~ The Starting Line I'd do anything for you -- give you the world if I could. ~ The Get Up Kids Two people can be best friends, but at one point or another one of them will fall for the other. Maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late, or maybe … just maybe … forever. The difference between friendship and love is how much you can hurt each other. ~ Ashleigh Brilliant
--02.20.04-- I am a firm believer that things happen for a reason and that they have a wonderful way of working themselves out, regardless of how you plan them to the contrary. ~ Dawson's Creek The sooner you realize things will never be the same again, the sooner you can move on. ~ The OC Last night I saw my world explode. I couldn't sleep last night because I know that it's over between us. I'm not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give to you forever. I love you. I'll be seeing you. Sometimes we do things because we are simply asked to. Do you know how hard it was for me to let you go every time I had you in my arms? ~ Less of a Stranger by Nora Jones I want to say I’m sorry. I want you to know I care. I want to say I’m blind for seeing something that wasn’t there. I should’ve been more trusting, and listened to my heart. Cause you’re the only thing I need and it’s tearing me apart. To truly love is to have the courage to walk away and let the one who wishes to be free go. No matter how much it hurts. Things will probably come out all right, but sometimes it takes strong nerves just to watch. The truth is, everyone's going to hurt you. You just have to decide who is worth the pain. Let's never talk about this again because I didn't want it to mean that much to me anyway. ~ Taking Back Sunday If I don't want to see you, it's because it hurts too much. ~ Time Spent Driving So what happens now when that person's gone? The one you thought you could always count on. You fall in love and they fall out. ~ Rufio Sometimes people change and forget to tell each other. The loneliest place I’ve ever been was not when I was alone … it was in a room in West Los Angeles where I was in love with someone who wasn’t in love with me. ~ Merrit Mallory We had said good-bye so many times before, but somehow we our paths always managed to cross and we ended up in each other’s arms. But now when we said this good-bye I have this feeling that I will never see you again. And that really hurts because I know that we are meant to lead our own separate lives. And I honestly don’t wanna cross your path in the future because I don’t want all these feelings to come back and have to try to get over all over again. But it’s okay because I’m still breathing. ~ Saves the Day Never, ever, regret something that made you smile. Never once did I seem to care if I didn’t have anybody there, but now I do and I don’t know what to say. I feel lost in every possible way. ~ Mest I have all these dreams where I know exactly what to say and you tell me … you know … that you forgive me. What I didn't know, is I was killing you, I said a lot of things that I didn't mean to but I am older now, and I believe in you, so I can wait awhile, till it brings me back to you. ~ Athenaeum I’m sorry for everything I’ve said
--02.11.05-- I can't do this alone ... and I know that if you'll take a chance on me, we can do great things. ~ One Tree Hill Friends are the most important part of your life. Treasure the tears, treasure the laughter, but most importantly, treasure the memories. ~ Dave Brenner The only way to find out who you are is to get to a point where you don't have anything else. She was a girl who knew how to be happy even when she was sad. And that's important you know. ~ Marilyn Monroe A kiss always means something. ~ One Tree Hill All the best love stories have one thing in common. You have to go against the odds to get there. ~ Party of Five If it’s real … if it’s true love … then it will always be there. You can pretend it’s gone and even move on. But that love, it’s still there in the depths of your mind. Sometimes a single object or a song triggers it all and you’re right back where you started … in the arms of the one you lost. Nothing says “I’m a refined young lady” quite like eating popcorn directly out of a bag. ~ Girls’ Poker Night by Jill Davis You’d think after all this time, I’d be over you. I actually was … but then, like you promised, we were together again for a while … and everything came rushing back – the memories, the kisses, the fun – and I just fell, all over again. Real love, I’ve learned, is a very, very strong form of forgiveness. I don’t think people yearn for love because they hate staying home along on a Saturday night or because they dread going to restaurants alone. People want love because they want their taped-together glasses or extra ten pounds to be forgiven. They want someone to look passed the surface or stuff like bad hair days, a too-loud laugh, or potato chips crunching in their living room couch when anyone sits down. ~ Lois Smith Brady Close friends are truly life's treasures. Sometimes they know us better than we know ourselves. With gently honesty, they are 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. Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been. ~ Mark Twain The course of true love never did run smoothly. ~ William Shakespeare “A Midsummer’s Night Dream”I remember when the days were long … and the nights when the living room was on the lawn. Constant quarrelling, the childish fits, and our clothes in a pile on the ottoman. All the slander and doublespeak were only foolish attempts to show you did mean anything, but the blatant proof was your lips touching mine in a photo booth. ~ Death Cab For Cutie I’m kind of happy with the way I turned out. I mean, things could be worse. I could be boring. Or unhappy. Or, like, I don’t know, Canadian or something. ~ Girls’ Poker Night by Jill Davis Some glad morning when this life is over, I'll fly away to a home on God's celestial shore. ~ Randy Travis How beautiful is it to do nothing ... and then rest afterwards. When your heart speaks, take good notes. The happiness of life is made up of the little things - a smile, a hug, a moment of shared laughter. I guess we are who we are for a lot 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. ~ The Perks of Being a Wallflower
--02.07.05-- I learned some things about myself. I guess it came the hard way. Now I know what counts. ~ Bouncing Souls With friends … throughout the years with each other, you start to realize that all the things you want to be … you already are. ~ Dawson's Creek You know I'm thinking of you. I miss you. ~ Jimmy Eat World Her heart was a secret garden, and the walls were very high. ~ The Princess Bride Nobody is perfect. Everyone has their own little idiosyncrasies. Some people call those imperfections, but no, that's the good stuff. ~ Robin Williams You pretend it doesn’t bother you, but you just want to explode. ~ Metallica But after we spent all that time together – just walking around and talking like we used to – things finally felt right between you and me. ~ Dawson's Creek To get up in the morning only to know that you will have to face another obstacle takes strength. To smile when the only thing you can do is cry takes bravery. To act happy and laugh when you know that times are at their worst takes courage. To be joyous when the only good news is the best of the bad news takes support. To be there and help others through the roughest times in life takes love. You see, in all my life, I’ve never found what I couldn’t resist … what I couldn’t turn down. I could walk away from anyone I ever knew, but I can’t walk away from you. ~ Garth Brooks Slow down and take the time to really see. Take a moment to see what is going on around you right now, right where you are. You may be missing something wonderful. ~ J. Michael Thomas Sometimes it’s like I really think I know her. And then it’ll be like we’re total strangers. I have seen your city lights, but have you seen my country skies? ~ Vertical Horizon He can make you happy, but you don’t need him to make you happy. Sometimes life can be hard when you give love and no one will take it. ~ Kelly Willis
--02.06.05-- Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It’s not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it’s a day when you’ve had everything to do … and you’ve done it. ~ Margaret Thatcher This was the roller coaster and she’s always preferred the merry-go-round. Sometimes you want to throw the towel in, but you come out swinging like you just might win. ~ Jack Ingram Sometimes we may feel as if what we are doing is a drop of water in the ocean, but the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. There’d be no good days, if there weren’t any bad ones. The sky wouldn’t be blue, if it were never black. And sometimes you need to fall halfway down the mountain to find a new trail that will take you straight to the top. There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands. You seek problems because you need their gifts. All of us are stars and deserve the right to twinkle. ~Marilyn Monroe Do or do not. There is no try. ~ Yoda A friend is the inspiration in you when you have lost all hope, and they bring out a world inside of you that you never knew you had. Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes it’s the little voice at the end of the day saying, “I will try again tomorrow.” You can do what you have to do, and sometimes you can do it even better than you think you can. ~ Jimmy Carter Don't be afraid to be weak, don't be too proud to be strong. ~ Enigma If I have seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulder of giants. ~ Isaac Newton We all need somebody we can turn to, someone with no reason to stay.
--02.04.05-- Do you know how hard it was for me to let you go every time I had you in my arms? ~ Less of a Stranger by Nora Jones If you think I’ve given up on you, you’re crazy. And if you think I don’t love you, then you’re just wrong. ~ Blues Traveler I am happy because I choose to be. ~ Joan Brock Sometimes a person lets go just because their fingers are too tired of holding on. They’ll always love you though. No matter what. Always keep smiling, sometimes that’s the only thing that keeps you going. So I’ll keep on smiling, because no one said this would be easy. No man has every prayed heartily without learning something. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away. ~ Sex and the City Now, he's one of my best friends. He really is. And if that's what it took for us to become close, then I'm glad it all happened. I usually don't like thinking about the future. I mean, let's face it, you can't predict what's gonna happen. But sometimes, the thing you didn't expect is what you really wanted after all. Maybe the best thing to do is just stop trying to figure out where you're going, and enjoy where you're at. ~ Scrubs You just reminded me of what’s really important in life: friends, best friends. ~ Fried Green Tomatoes And if I had my way, I'd give a coconut to everyone. ~ Widespread Panic I do have a safety net – my friends. Sure, they’re frustrating and annoying sometimes, but I don’t know what I’d do without them. ~ Beverly Hills 90210 Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself -- and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to -- letting a person be what he really is. Your best friends are going to hurt you once in a while; you must forgive them for that. A person never stands as straight as when he stoops to help a child.
--02.02.05-- ** She debated leaving -- he was a reason to stay, but he was also a reason to go. He was confusing her, playing with her emotions ... and she needed to be set free. Until he told her he missed her, but he totally understood -- then she never wanted to leave again. ** I don't know what else to say ... except my intentions are nothing short of honorable. I've never met anyone like you before, you scare me. ~ Dawson's Creek ** I guess it all boils down to one fact: I still love you. ~ Vickie Taylor ** There are things that used to make me smile ... one of them was you. ** You guys are perfect for each other. You know, we look at you ... and we see you together ... and it just fits. You know? And you just know it's gonna last forever. ** And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist and you kissed me like you meant it ... and I know you meant it. ~ Dashboard Confessional ** You know that point in your life when you realize that the house that you grew up in isn't really your home anymore? All of the sudden even though you have some place where you can put your stuff that idea of home is gone. ** And in case you were wondering ... you are like a sunset to me. You're all kinds of beautiful as you end my day. ** Look ... I don't mind you kissing me if it's because you want to kiss me, not for revenge or to help you forget someone else. Whatever happened between you guys, you're gonna have to deal with it. Yourself. Just -- just you. ~ Dawson's Creek ** I'd like to think that from God's perspective, life ... everything ... even this ... makes sense. And it's beautiful, and it's funny, and it's good. ** Because in a sense, it's the coming back, the return which gives meaning to the going forth. We really don't know where we've been until we've come back to where we were. Only, where we were may not be as it was because of who we've become. Which is, after all, why we left. ** Don't string a girl along. She's liable to tell you what she thinks of the situation. ** My feeling is that labels are for canned soup … I am what I am, and I know what I am. ~ Michael Stipe ** I don't wanna hear the phone ring, don't
wanna hear your voice on the line. I don't wanna
come to you ... I don't wanna give
in this time. I'm loving you against my will. ~ Gary Allan |
