Life Quotes

Keep going. No matter what you do, no matter how many times you screw up and think to yourself “there’s no point to carry on,” no matter how many people tell you that you can’t do it – keep going. Don’t quit. Don’t quit, because a few months from now you will be that much closer to your goal than you are now. Yesterday you said tomorrow. Make today count.

I miss that feeling when you go to sleep at night and when you wake up in the morning. It’s the feeling that everything is alright in the world. You know, that amazing feeling when you’re whole, that you’ve got everything you want, that you aren’t missing anything. Sometimes when I wake up, I get it for a moment. It lasts a few seconds, but then I remember what happened, and how nothing has been the same since.

It’s okay. It’s okay to want someone you can’t have. It’s okay to want something more. It’s okay to cry when you’re hurt, and it’s okay to stay mad at someone who hurt you. Believe it or not, it’s always going to be okay. That’s just how it works. Sometimes things don’t work out how you want them to, and most of the time, it seems like they never will. But eventually, everything is going to iron out some way or another. You just have to believe, keep your faith, and move on.

Sometimes, we’re too into the moment to look at the big picture. We fail to see things in perspective because we’re too absorbed in what’s taking place at that very instance. The thing is we should face reality. Find ourselves from being lost in the moment and think about everything the way it is. Because sometimes being realistic can save us from pain and disappointment.

I think life isn’t as complicated as we make it out to be. We are constantly looking for answers. But there are no answers, things just happen. The good and the bad. To see the rainbow you’ve got to put up with the rain. It happens, and there is nothing we can do about it. The universe isn’t made up of questions, waiting for us to answer.

The mind may have forgotten, but the body remembers everything -in the melody of a song, in a rip of a dress, in a taste stuck at the tip of your tongue, in the freckled constellation splattered across your light skin, in a look not meant to be a look, in the movement of their hips against yours, in a graze between nervous hands, in the loud beat of your beating heart. In one moment, the body remembers everything so vividly, so wildly, as if it were experiencing it the first time & the last time combined – an explosion of sorts that will never seem to leave with time. These things have become pieces of us, that have found a way to stay forever, as much as we deny it ever happened. But the reality is that it was never a figment – in fact, it was our realest dream somehow brought to life.

No one’s going to look at you and tell you they love you when that’s exactly what you want, life doesn’t work like that. You need to love yourself. Through the laughter, tears, and broken hearts, you need to love yourself before those boys who broke your heart made you laugh and caused your tears will ever love you. Don’t turn your back and look at those guys before you open up your eyes and look at your friends. You are what you are.

Sometimes you have to be strong for yourself. You have to know that you are a good person and a good friend. What is meant to be will end up good and what is not won’t. Relationships are worth fighting for, but sometimes you can’t be the only one fighting. At time, people need to fight for you. If they don’t, you must move on and realize what you gave them was more than they were willing to give you. Hopefully, people realize great things when they come around and don’t lose something real. Always fight, until you can’t anymore, and then be fought for.

Sometimes there is nothing to be said. Sometimes nothing should be said. I just want to find someone who won’t run away. Someone to look me in the eyes and tell me it’s okay. that things don’t always go right. That is how life works, and how it will always work. That it’s not going to be easy. Today, Tomorrow, the next day, but it will somehow get better.

I’m a straight forward kinda girl. If you ask me what im thinking I’ll tell you, no sugar coating. Cause thats not what life’s about. It’s about dealing with the pain that comes along. So if you are going to tell me how you feel, don’t lie. If I ask something, I want to know the truth, not the lie.

You have to get hurt. That’s how you learn. The strongest people out there- the ones who laugh the hardest with the genuine smile,those are the ones who have fought the hardest battles. Because they have decided that they’re not going to let anything hold them down, they’re showing the world who’s the boss.

I don’t understand how you can smile all day long, but cry yourself to sleep at night. How pictures never change, but the people in them do. How you can love so innocently, but it can turn into anger so quickly. How your best friend can become your worst enemy. Or when your worst enemy turns into your best friend. How forever turns into a few short months that you’d do almost anything to get back. How you can let go of something you once said you couldn’t live without. How even though you know letting go of something is best for you, it hurts just the same. How the people who once wanted to spend every second with you, think a few minutes of their time is too much time to spare. How people make promises, and bear their souls to someone despite knowing how common it is for promises to be broken. How people can erase you from their lives ‘cause it’s just easier then working things out.

Being a teenage girl means: Looking as hot as hell to just walk the dog, listening to your iPod while you dance in your underwear, randomly singing your favorite song, sleeping until 2pm, giving makeovers to all your friends, tanning on the roof, waving to people out of the sun-roof of your car, buying jewelry you will never wear from Claire’s, saying girly words all the time (like omg and whatever!), wearing short skirts, pushing your best friend into the pool, screaming “you’re hott!” out the car window to a boy, taking pictures with all your friends, jumping on your bed while talking on the phone, staying up all night just to regret it the next day, stalking a hot guy at the mall with your friends, taking a story and turning it into some huge scene.

It is completely normal to fear failure, to fear rejection, to fear the future, but it should never stop you from accomplishing a dream, making a friend, or confessing your love. Nothing is for certain and anything can happen. Isn’t that what makes life exciting? Not knowing what will happen next and even though people will tell you it is impossible, will point and laugh at your ways, and will crush your heart over and over again, you will continue to chase your dreams, make as many friends as possible, and pray that when you do find that special someone, they will blush for a moment, twiddle their thumbs, and look into your eyes and say, “I love you too.”

What they say, life goes on, is mostly true. The mail is delivered, and the christmas lights go up and down from the houses, and the ladders get put away, and you open yet another box of cereal. In time, the volume of my feelings would be turned down in gentle increments to near quiet, and yet the record would still spin, always spin.<3

You eat, you’re fat. You don’t eat, you’re a freak. You drink, you’re an alcoholic. You don’t drink, you’re a pussy. You read, you’re a nerd. you don’t read, you’re stupid. You tell a secret, you’re an attention seeker. You don’t tell a secret, you’re still attention seeking. You let someone in, you’re easy. You don’t let someone in, you’re too uptight. You smoke, you think you’re cool. you don’t smoke, you’re a loser. You’ve had sex, you’re a slut. You haven’t had sex, you’re a frigid little bitch. You wear make up, you’re superficial. You don’t wear make up, you’re ugly. You can’t please anyone. Ever.

Look at you. You’re young. And you’re scared. Why are you so scared? Stop being paralyzed. Stop swallowing your words. Stop caring what other people think. Wear what you want. Say what you want. Listen to the music you want to listen to. Play it loud as fuck and dance to it. Go out for a drive at midnight and forget you have school the next day. Stop waiting for Friday. Live now. Do it now. Take risks. Tell secrets. This life is yours. When are you going to realize that you can do whatever you want?

Nobody has it easy, everybody has problems. You don’t know what they go through. Nobody is perfect, nobody deserves to be perfect. So before you start judging, criticizing, or mocking, remember everybody is fighting their own war.

We all go through life like bulls in a China shop. A chip here, a crack there. Doing damage to ourselves, to other people. The problem is trying to figure out how to control the damage we’ve done, or that’s been done to us. Sometimes, the damage catches us by surprise. Sometimes, we think we can fix the damage. And sometimes, the damage is something we can’t even see.

There are all kinds of ways to force yourself to decide. We do it all the time, make decisions. If we actually thought about every decision we made, we’d be paralyzed. Which word to say next. Which way to turn. What to look at. Which number to dial. You have to decide which decisions you’re actually going to make, and then you have to let the rest of them go. It’s the places where you think you have a choice that can really mess you up.

You want the truth? Well, here it is. Eventually, you forget it all. First, you forget everything you learned – the dates of wars and Pythagorean theorem. You especially forget everything you didn’t really learn, but just memorized the night before. You forget the names of all but one or two of your favorite teachers; and eventually you forget those, too. You forget your junior year class schedule and where you used to sit, and your best friend’s home phone number and the lyrics to that song you must have played a million times. And eventually, but slowly, you forget your humiliations – even the ones that seemed indelible just fade away. You forget who was cool and who was not, who was pretty, smart, athletic, and not. Who went to a good college, who threw the best parties, who had the most friends – you forget all of them. Even the ones you said you loved, and the ones you actually did. They’re the last to go. And once you’ve forgotten enough, you love someone else.

Every stoplight I didn’t make, every chance I did or didn’t take. All the nights I went too far, all the ones that broke my heart. All the doors that I had to close, all the things I knew but didn’t know. Thank God for all I missed, because it led me here to this. -Darius Rucker

Sometimes you need to be alone. Sometimes you just don’t want to be comforted because you need the chance to take it in. All that has been, all the pain left behind. The best cure is time on your own to analyze, time to pull yourself together again, and time to see that all you ever wanted is now nothing but a fading memory. Time to let it go and time to start again.

Take chances. Take a lot of them. Because honestly, no matter where you end up and with whom, it always ends up just the way it should be. Your mistakes make you who you are. You learn and grow with each choice you make. Everything is worth it. Say how you feel, always. Be you, and be okay with it.

I feel like people get lost when they think of happiness as a destination. We’re always thinking that someday we’ll be happy. You know, we’ll get that car or that job or that person in our lives that fixes everything. But happiness is a mood and a condition, it’s not a destination. It’s like being tired or hungry; it’s not permanent, it comes and goes, and that’s okay. And I feel like if people thought of it that way, they’d find happiness a lot more often.

So, you’ll come across so many people in your life. Ones you think will stay in your life, stay with you forever. You come across people you will love, very much. But sometimes love isn’t enough to tackle all the obstacles in life and you will have to deal with the heartbreak of knowing that that person you love is gone and you’re left, alone, to try your very hardest to fall out of love. To do something you never thought you’d have to do. Just keep your head held high. Don’t let it get to you, don’t fall apart. Clear your heart and let it go. And when it comes around again, let love in. Because you never know. It’s all about having faith.

Life will never be perfect, no matter how hard you try. Even if you pour your heart and soul into it, you will never have that perfection you seek. There will always be broken hearts, there will always be days where nothing goes right. But I have accepted and learned that even the most imperfect things will always be made better with love, laughter, and joy. -Jae Bliss

I guess, if anything, it’s about taking chances, even when you think you’re all out of chances. It’s about giving forgiveness and unconditional love, even when it seems like you should only do the opposite. It’s about trusting that God puts people in your life at certain moments so that you can capitalize the opportunity. It’s all about the possibility. It’s all about what you do with those possibilities. Life is short, but it moves so fast. Hang on and enjoy the ride. And when someone comes along with whom you enjoy spending the ride with, hold on tight.

No matter what, you can always choose happiness. It doesn’t mean that everything is perfect and nothing could go wrong, it means that you’ve decided to see that little patch of blue in the sky and you’ve left that be be enough to find your rainbow.

I believe we write our own stories, and each time we think we know the end- we don’t. Perhaps luck exists somewhere between the world of planning, the world of chance, and in peace that comes from knowing that you just can’t know it all. You know, life’s funny that way. Once you let go of the wheel, you might end up right where you belong.

Tragedy blows through your life like a tornado, uprooting everything. Creating chaos. You wait for the dust to settle and then you choose: You can live in the wreckage and pretend it’s still the mansion you remember, or you can crawl from the rubble and slowly rebuild.

I think that’s what’s wrong with the world; no one says what they really feel, they always hold it inside. They’re sad, but they don’t cry. They’re happy, but they don’t dance or sing. They’re angry, but they don’t scream. Because if they do, they feel ashamed and that’s the worst feeling in the world. So everyone walks with their heads down and no one sees how beautiful the sky is.

To get up in the morning only to know that you 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.

Take chances, a lot of them, because honestly, no matter where you end up and with who, it always ends up the way it should be. Your mistakes make you who you are. You learn and grow with each choice you make. Everything is worth it. Say how you feel. always be you… and be okay with it.

I love those kind of nights that turn out unexpectedly good, great, and sometimes just all out amazing just because you didn’t really expect anything to happen at all. If only we could live just like that – with no expectations in mind. It’s possible we’d be much happier, with more memorable moments that would last us a lifetime.

You know what I think we are most afraid of? Not knowing. Not knowing whether it’s all really worth it. Not knowing if you should give up or keep fighting. Not knowing why you do the things you do; not knowing the purpose. It’s like when you’re little and you touch the stove and get burned, because you didn’t really know that it was hot. Not knowing has always hurt us, from the very beginning.

I’m thinking that sometimes you just have to make the decision to be happy. Just realize that things aren’t ever what you hoped they’d be. Not ever. For anybody. The only thing that separates one kind of person from another is that there are some who stay angry about it and there are some who accept what comes their way.

The truth is… we hide because we want to be found, we walk away to see who will follow, we cry to see who will wipe away the tears and we let our hearts break to see who will fix them.

In life, people tend to wait for good things to come to them, and by waiting, they miss out. Usually what you wish for doesn’t fall in your lap, it falls somewhere nearby and you have to recognize it, stand up, and put the time and work it takes to get it. This isn’t because the universe is cruel, it’s because the universe is smart. It has its own cat-string theory and knows we don’t appreciate things that fall into our lap

Did you ever stop to think that every time you step on a dandelion that’s covered with those fluffy white seeds, you’re destroying the hope for someone else’s wish? And maybe it’s for the better that they didn’t get to make it because then they wouldn’t be always waiting for it to come true and they won’t be so disappointed when it never does. But maybe that hope is what gives them a reason to live, a reason to keep moving forward

You’ll come across so many people in your life. Ones you think will stay in your life, stay with you forever. You come across people you will love, very much. But sometimes love isn’t enough to tackle all the obstacles in life and you will have to deal with the heartbreak of knowing that that person you love is gone and you’re left, alone, to try your very hardest to fall out of love. To do something you never thought you’d have to do. Just keep your head held high. Don’t let it get to you, don’t fall apart. Clear your heart and let it go. And when it comes around again, let love in. Because you never know. It’s all about having faith.

The important thing is not to be bitter over life’s disappointments. Learn to let go of the past & realize that every day won’t be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in the darkness of despair, remember : it’s only in the black of night that you see the stars, and those stars lead you back home. – One Tree Hill

Just say what you mean and mean what you say. Don’t expect someone to read your mind, and don’t play games with heads or hearts. Don’t tell half-truths and expect trust when the full truth comes out. Half-truths are no better than lies. Don’t be cold to someone you care about, cause indifference hurts more than angry words.

There’s no person in the world who is made to handle every punch that is thrown at them. We aren’t made that way. In fact, we’re made to get mad, upset, sad, be hurt, stumble, and fall. We aren’t supposed to be able to handle everything. But that’s what makes us stronger in the end, by learning from the things that hurt us most.

Maybe butterflies bring nothing but happiness. Maybe butterflies aren’t exactly the key to happiness, but there’s something to be said about the simple things in life, things that bring joy, like snow or wild flowers, or a sunny day or the smell of a pumpkin pie. Not clothes or guys or getting the lead in a play, or even good grades. None of those things will really make you happy. The little things, like catching and releasing butterflies, just might.

In life, people tend to wait for good things to come to them, and by waiting, they miss out. Usually what you wish for doesn’t fall in your lap, it falls somewhere nearby and you have to recognize it, stand up, and put the time and work it takes to get it. This isn’t because the universe is cruel, it’s because the universe is smart. It has its own cat-string theory and knows we don’t appreciate things that fall into our lap.

You know when the season is about to change, and you see that group of birds flying in one direction? How do they all get together and agree on where to go? Do they talk to each other? Or is it just a feeling? People are the same way. When your with that one person, sometimes you talk, but the best times are when there’s no talking at all, and you can just feel.

You should never give yourself a chance to fall apart because when you do, it becomes a tendency & it happens over and over again. You must practice being strong instead.

It happens to everyone as they grow up. you find out who you are and what you want; and then you realize that the people you’ve known forever don’t see things the way you do. so, you keep the memories but find yourself moving on…

I believe we write our own stories, and each time we think we know the end- we don’t. Perhaps luck exists somewhere between the world of planning, the world of chance, and in peace that comes from knowing that you just can’t know it all. You know, life’s funny that way. Once you let go of the wheel, you might end up right where you belong.

If you live life wishing you could change the past, nothing comes of it, there’s a reason why the past is the past and why its called the past. you can’t rewind, so instead of living in regret, use a thing called the present and the future, to learn from those regrets and grow into the person you want to be. love and be loved, forgive and forget, laugh til you cry, enjoy the ups and embrace the downs.

Life takes your dreams and turns them upside down people talk about you when you’re not around. People make promises they just can’t keep and I’ve come to realize that talk is cheap. Too often we don’t realize what we have until it’s gone too often we wait too long to say “I’m sorry, I was wrong.”Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones we hold dearest to our hearts and we allow foolish things to tear our lives apart.

At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don’t keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That’s how we’re made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines… that are way too dangerous to cross.

It was so risky and so scary, and yet at the same time, so beautiful. Maybe the truth was, it shouldn’t be easy to be amazing. Then everything would be. It’s the things you fight for and struggle with before earning that have the greatest worth. When something’s difficult to come by, you’ll do that much more make sure it’s even harder, if not impossible, to lose.

At this age, everything is changing. Day by day we don’t notice, but just look back over the past year and you will realize everything has. People you thought were going to be there forever aren’t, and people you never imagined you’d be speaking to are now some of your closest friends. Life makes little sense, and the more we grow the less sense it will make. So make the most of it now, before it all changes once again, because in the near future, all of this is only going to be memories.

In real life, saying the right thing at the right moment is beyond crucial. So crucial, in fact, that most of us start to hesitate, for fear of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. But lately what I’ve begun to fear more than that is letting the moment pass without saying anything. But if you know how you feel and so clearly know what you need to say, I don’t think you should wait. I think you should speak now. – Taylor Swift

‘Cause that’s what life is about. It’s about the times where you lay in the grassnext to someone you love. It’s about the color of the sky, it’s about a roaring fire on a winter eve. Everybody hurts, everybody bleeds. Everyone laughs and smiles and loves. And that’s all that it is. There is no meaning of life, it’s nothingthat can be defined. It’s a matter of writing your own definition

Laugh when you can, apologize when you should. let go of what you can’t change. Kiss slowly, play hard, forgive quickly, take chances, give everythingand have no regrets. Life is too short to be anything but happy.

i think we spend too much time wondering why we’re not good enough. we waste too much time putting ourselves down that we don’t ever stop to see that we are good enough. we spend too much time with our heads down and hearts closed and never get a chance to look up from the ground and see that the sun is shining and tomorrow is another day.

When you’re young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun. Then, you grow up and learn to be cautious. You could break a bone or a heart. You look before you leap and sometimes you don’t leap at all because there’s not always someone there to catch you. And in life, there’s no safety net. When did it stop being fun and start being scary?

Life is unfair. You put someone first who puts you second. You study your ass off for a final only to get a c. You give 110% to someone in a relationship when they only give 40%. You’re there for your best friend at 3 a.m., and the next day they don’t pick up their phone. It seems like you’re giving everyone everything, and they’re just walking away with it.

Growing up is never easy. You hold on to things that were. You wonder what’s to come. But that night, I think we knew it was time to let go of what had been, & look ahead to what would be. Other days. New days. Days to come. The thing is, we didn’t have to hate each other for getting older. We just had to forgive ourselves for growing up.

People’s lives change. To keep all your old friends is like keeping all your old clothes. Pretty soon, your closet is so jammed and everything’s so crushed and you can’t find anything to wear. Help these friends when they need you, bless the years and happy times when you meant a lot to each other, but try not to feel guilty if new people mean more to you now.

Next time you’re stressed, take a step back, inhale and laugh. Remember who you are and why you’re here. You’re never given anything in this world that you can’t handle. Be strong, be flexible, love yourself, and love others. Always remember, just keep moving forward.

Remember when getting high meant swinging on the playground? when protection meant wearing a helmet? when the worst thing you could get from boys were cooties? race issues were about who ran the fastest? war was only a card game. when wearing a skirt didn’t make you a slut, the most pain you felt was when you skinned your knees, and goodbyes only meant until tomorrow. & we all couldn’t wait to grown up.

Three things you cannot recover in life: The moment after it’s missed, the word after it’s said, and the time after it’s wasted.

Reality of fear: You’re not scared of the dark; you’re scared of what’s in it. You’re not afraid of heights; you’re afraid of falling. You’re not afraid of the people around you; you’re afraid of rejection. You’re not afraid to love; you’re just afraid of not being loved back. You’re not afraid to let go; you’re just afraid of accepting the fact it’s gone. You’re not afraid to let go; you’re afraid of getting hurt for the same reason.

Sometimes there is nothing to be said. Sometimes nothing should be said. I just want to find someone who won’t run away. Someone to look me in the eyes and tell me it’s okay that things don’t always go right. That this is how life works, and how it will always work. That it’s not going to be easy. Today, tomorrow, the next day, but it will somehow get better.

The best things in life: Accidentally overhearing someone say something nice about you, waking up and realizing you still have a few hours left to sleep, first kisses, making new friends and spending time with the old ones, singing in the bathroom, sweet dreams, hot chocolate, making brownies and cookies, holding hands with someone you care about, watching a sunset, sleeping in, taking long hot showers, and knowing that somebody misses you.

You have to get hurt. That’s how you learn. The strongest people out there, the ones who laugh the hardest with a genuine smile, those are the people who have fought the toughest battles. Because they’ve decided they’re not going to let anything hold them down, they’re showing the world who’s the boss.

I guess the real fact of the matter is, we don’t know what tomorrow is going to bring and the only thing we really have is right now. so, don’t stay mad for too long. learn to forgive. love with all your heart. stay up all night. Have fun. live your life the way you want to live it. don’t worry about people that don’t like you. enjoy the ones who do.

Too many people get caught up in what could be instead of appreciating what is. Don’t fall into that trap. Appreciate what you have and who you have, because the future can take it all away from you.

Do whatever makes you happy, but do it now. Live life for the moment cause everything else is uncertain. Take advantage of what’s right in front of you.

There’s a story behind every person. There’s a reason why they’re the way they are. They aren’t just like that because they want to. Something in the past created them, and it’s not a matter of what can fix it, but who.

I think that’s what I find most strange about this world, nobody ever says how they feel. They hurt, but they don’t cry out. they’re happy, but they don’t dance or jump around. And they’re angry but they hardly ever scream, because they feel ashamed. Nothing’s worse than that. So we all walk around with our heads looking down and never look up and see how beautiful the sky is.

The essence of life is not being perfect, impressing people, or succeeding at everything. The essence of life is simply making mistakes and learning from them, surrounding yourself with people that love you when you’re being yourself, and getting through the failures so that you can continue improving.

If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never get it. If you don’t ask, the answer is always no. If you don’t step forward, you’re always in the same place.

Every day the opportunity exists to change your life. But most days, the idea of having to change the bad things in life just seems like too much work. Should I lie on the couch & watch a movie, or should I confront my personal demons? You get the point.

After a while, you learn that you don’t need anyone else in order to survive. No one is ever going to always be there, no matter what they say or what they promise. You just gotta suck it up, accept it and keep moving on.

With a new attitude, everything can change, make it how you want it to be. Staying mad, why do that? Give yourself a break laugh about it and you’ll see that life’s what you make it.

Life is like riding a bicycle in order to keep your balance you must keep moving.

In the end we only regret: the chances we didn’t take, the relationships we were afraid to have, &the decisions we took too long to make.

Crying isn’t a sign of weakness. From birth, it shows us we are alive.

These things happen. What other people say doesn’t change the way you are. Rememberwhat we always say? It’s just part of the journey. Life isn’t about what happens to you, it’s about how you handle what happens.

I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing; kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles..<3

You want to know what living life to the fullest actually is? It’s waking up on a Monday morning with no complaints. It’s knowing you always deserve to laugh. It’s doing what feels right no matter what. It’s doing what you want to, no matter how stupid you look. It’s about being yourself, because no one can tell you you’re doing it wrong.

Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly.

there’s a difference between love and like, wrong and right. never run if you’re not ready to step, and never forgive if you’re not ready to forget.

the minute you start enjoying yourself and the person who you’ve become, when you walk into a room with your head held high, the minute you wake up and are glad to be you, the possibilities and opportunities will come knocking at your door

life is a roller coaster, a never ending cycle. every person is unique and beautiful in their own way. each individual has a beauty that’s unexpressed. beauty is within. you love a person for how they make you feel, for their courage and compassion. i believe we always go back to the people that were there in the beginning. you create so much of a history with certain people that they become a part of you. they’re always in your heart

at no point in life are you going to make everybody happy, so do what you want, be who you want, and don’t let anybody tell you you’re wrong. nobody’s perfect so maybe before you judge other people, you should first look at yourself

Have you ever thought that if one thing hadn’t happened, a whole set of things never would’ve either? Like dominoes, a single event kicked off an unstoppable series of changes that gained momentum and spun out of control, and nothing was ever the same again. Don’t ever doubt that a mere second can change your life forever.

The real truth is i probably don’t want to be too happy or content, because then what? I actually like the quest, the search. That’s the fun. The more lost you are, the more you have to look forward to.

It’s crazy how we always end up where we’re meant to. How even the most ironic situations eventually teach you something you’d never dreamed you were going to learn.

Dreams are real. when you have a dream, fight for it. don’t let anything stand in your way because that dream is so much bigger than anything else in this cold world. don’t give in to people who don’t want good things for you. don’t let them stop you. fight for your dream, protect it, defend it, and i promise you’ll make it through.

What does it take to hope? everything. hope takes never ceasing to be amazed, wearing your soul on your sleeve, holding your breath, waiting to hear ‘i love you too’, believing that tomorrow could be better than today, that you’ll get a second chance, that you’ll make a difference, that you’ll finally be able to stand for something in your life.

We live the life of an unfinished novel still waiting to be written. depending on how long we live, the longer the chapters. depending on how interesting we are, the more we appeal to others. we’re often judged by our covers. sometimes, some people decide to just quit reading us. we’re just forgotten until someone finds us. our characters can develop throughout the novel, but our chapters can never be edited.

Life would be perfect if: some girls had mute buttons, some guys had edit buttons, bad times had fast forward buttons, and good times had pause buttons

the fact that you cannot kiss your elbow is enough to make you realize that some things seem to be , yet they’re bound to be beyond your reach

life is too ironic to fully understand. it takes sadness to know what happiness is, noise to appreciate silence, and absence to value presence

next time you’re stressed, take a step back, inhale and laugh. remember who you are and why you’re here. you’re never given anything in this world that you can’t handle. be strong, be flexible, love yourself, and love others. always remember, just keep moving forward

Laugh when you can. Apologize when you should. And let go of what you can’t change. Love deeply and forgive quickly. Take chances and give your everything. Life is too short to be anything but happy. You have to take the good with the bad. Love what you got. Always remember what you had. Forgive, but don’t forget. Learn from your mistakes but never regret. People change and things go wrong, But always remember that life goes on.

The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.

Eventually, everything ends. Age doesn’t guarantee maturity. Love doesn’t mean you’ll always be together. Things don’t always happen like you imagined. Being the bigger person, takes a big effort.

There is no person in the world who is made to handle every punch that’s thrown at them. we aren’t made that way. in fact, we’re made to get mad, upset, sad, be hurt, stumble and fall. we weren’t supposed to be able to handle everything, but that’s what makes us stronger in the end, by learning from the things that hurt us the most.

You have to forget about what other people say, when you’re supposed to die, when you’re supposed to be loving. You have to forget about all of these things. You have to go on and be crazy. Craziness is like heaven.

- Jimi Hendrix

Whatever you give a woman, she will make it greater. Give her sperm, she will give you a baby. Give her a house, she will give you a home. Give her groceries, she will give you a meal. Give her a smile, she will give you her heart. She multiplies & enlarges what she is given. So if you give her crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit!

Life isn’t about keeping score. it’s not about how many people call you and it’s not about who you’ve dated, are dating, or haven’t dated at all. it isn’t about who you kissed, what sport you play, or which guy likes you. it’s not about your shoes or your hair or the color of your skin or where you live or where you go to school. in fact, it’s not about grades, money, clothes, or what colleges accept you or not. life isn’t about if you have a lot of friends or if you’re alone. and it’s not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. life just isn’t about that. but life is about who you love and who you hurt. it’s about how you feel about yourself. it’s about trust, happiness and compassion. it’s about sticking up for your friends and replacing hate with love in a way that you would never have achieved otherwise

I think i’ve finally come to the point in my life where i’m happy with myself and know that i don’t have to change or be a certain way for people to like me anymore. i’m just fine and if someone doesn’t think i am, screw them.

We always have choices about life. It is important to trust our deep intuition more than our knowledge of information. We have the power to decide on life. It is important to trust our inner aesthetics. Then doing will become being, being will become doing, we become ourselves.

I welcome each new day with a hopeful expectancy that I, too, will rise above the ordinary. For I am not content to live a merely “normal” life or settle for an average existence. No, I am destined for more–much, much more.

Hope is what keeps us going in life, we hope we will be strong, we hope we will pass a test, we hope we will make new friends, we hope we will never lose the old, we hope someone loves us,we hope that love will find us, we hope when all seems lost, we hope when we are hurt, we hope when we play games, & we hope when we cry, never lose your hope, never give up when someone gives up on you, they may still hope as you do.

And there’s only so much i can do to change your mind. I wish that you could see that i’m not fine… Im on the edge of life, trying my best not to fall, i”ll take a leap of faith just don’t let me do it alone.
-Joseleen Gonzalez

Beauty gets attention, personality gets the heart.

Life is made up of years that mean nothing and moments that mean it all.

You’re born, you die, and in between you make a lot of mistakes.

Have you ever heard a song from so long ago with so many memories tied to it that it made you cry? And didn’t you with that you could go back into time when everything seemed so much simpler and carefree? Those are songs that are the soundtrack of our lives… the ones that bring back childhood memories, best friends, first love, first heartbreak… the memories.

Every new day is another chance to change your life.

The hardest years in life are those between ten and seventy.

The times in life, that seems to be the worst, always turn out for the best!

Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

Take chances. Tell the truth. Date someone totally wrong for you. Say no. Spend all your cash! Fall in love. Get to know someone random. Be random. Say I love you. Sing out loud. Laugh at a stupid joke. Cry. Get revenge. Apologize. Tell someone how much they mean to you. Tell the asshole what you feel. Let someone know what they’re missing. Laugh til your stomach hurts. LIVE LIFE!

If you can’t solve it, it isn’t a problem – it’s reality. And sometimes reality is the hardest thing to understand and the thing that takes the longest to realize. But once it hits you in the face you’ll never forget it. It will always be there in your memories and sometimes that is the best way to look at it.

Life is all about risks and it requires you to jump. Don’t be a person who has to look back and wonder what they would have or could have had. No one waits forever.

Sometimes the littlest thing in life changes something forever and there will be times when you wish you can go back to how things used to be but you just can’t because things have changed so much.

You only live once, so do everything twice.

In your life, you meet people. Some you never think about again. Some, you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are some you wish you never had to think about again. But you do.

There are no mistakes in life, only lessons.

The greatest risk in life is not taking one.

Tomorrow is a blank page, just waiting to be filled with your dreams… All you have to do is be yourself and live the story of your own unique life. Be proud. Be confident. And most of all be happy.

The journey in between what you once were and who you are now becoming is where the dance of life really takes place.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate you friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned the hard way that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, or end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s to happen next.

There’s a point in life when you start to realize who matter; who never did; and who always will.

In life God doesn’t give you the people you want, instead He gives you the people you need. To teach you, to hurt you, to love you, and make you exactly the way you should be.

Don’t fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.

Rock bottom is good solid ground, and a dead end street is just a place to turn around.

Cherish your yesterdays and dream your tomorrows, but most importantly, don’t forget to live your today’s.

Sometimes you gotta stop and remember that your not gonna live forever. Be young, thing smart, stay true and just follow your heart.

Half of life is fucking up – the other half is dealing with it.

Every story has an end, but in life every ending is just a new beginning.

If you die you’re completely happy and your soul somewhere lives on. I’m not afraid of dying. Total peace after death, becoming someone else is the best hope I’ve got.—Kurt Cobain
