| |   Some things don't last forever, but then again, some things do. Like a good song, a good book, or a good memory... you can take them out, close your eyes, breathe in, relive the moments - let them out in your darkest of moments.  After a breakup, certain streets, locations, even times of day are off limits. The city becomes a deserted battlefield, loaded with emotional landmines. You have to be very careful where you step, or you could be blown to pieces. -Sex and the City  Sometimes the best thing you can do is not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess. Just breathe and have faith that everything will work out for the best.  Respect yourself enough to walk away from anyone or anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy.  Please be a traveler, not a tourist. Try new things, meet new people, and look beyond whats right in front of you. Those are the keys to understanding this amazing world we live in.  Not every girl wants to be in a relationship. Some just want good company, a guy to vibe with, converse with and laugh with. Not in a rush, start off simple, and let the rest find itself. Having someone to talk to and feeling comfortable around them is beautiful, and it's a good feeling.  I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. because if you are making mistakes then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, or whatever it is, art or love, or work, or family, or life. Whatever it is you're scared of doing, do it. Make your mistakes, next year and forever.  I could lean in and hold you or act like I don't even know you, seems like you could care less either way. -Luke Bryan  Unless it's mad, passionate, extraordinary love it is a waste of time. There are too many mediochre things in life; love should not be one of them.  He's not perfect, you aren't either and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh, at least once, causes you to think twice, and he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn't going to quote poetry, he's not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you can break. Don't hurt him, don't change him and don't expect more than he can give. Don't analyze. Smile when he makes you happy. Yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he's not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don't exist but there is always one guy who is perfect for you. -Bob Marley.  A girl was asked the meaning of love, she replied "sacrificing the admiration of hundreds of boys for facing the criticisms of one idiot."  People who've never experienced a broken heart never realize how hard it is to gain the trust of someone who has.  I don't think you're a slut. I've known you for five years and you don't sleep with a lot of guys, you just keep sleeping with this one. Half the time you want to stab him with a steak knife, the other half you can't keep your hands off him. For you, that's true love.  Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll bounce back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived.  Some people are easy to get over. They only take a day or two, but sooner or later you'll find the one who has changed everything about you, and no matter how hard you try, you can't find the words to say goodbye.  Cause you don't know him like I do, you'll never understand. You don't know what we've been through; that boy is my best friend.  The bottom line of why most people stay together is because, despite the occasional rocky patch, they love each other and enjoy each others company.  I don't want to hurt you, but I don't think I like you anymore. Something inside of me ruins all my relationships. Because whenever I get too close to someone, the feelings always disappear. And after they leave, they always come back.  There is no perfect relationship. Bullshit will come up when you least expect it. Jealousy will come out of nowhere. At times you will feel replaced, and at times you will feel like giving up. Just don't go that far. Don't give up. You'll argue and you won't talk for days, but nobody says it has to be over. |
