"Love wins. Love always wins." -Morrie Schwartz

I mean after all, we're in love,
look at us go!
Now what in the world could go wrong?
To hell with the odds we'd rather not know
If love was a plane, nobody'd get on
-brad paisley

when i get really lonely i think of you smiling.
-glen hansard

sometimes it isn't where you're going, it's who you're with,
in this moment we're connected and if we fall, we fall together.

“A guy and a girl can be just friends, but at one point or another, they will fall for each other...Maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late, or maybe forever”
-dave matthews

"It's just hard because I am absolutely falling head over heels for you.
And maybe you fall in love often, but I don't."

But you're so busy changing the world
Just one smile can change all of mine
We share the same soul

Some people don't want to love somebody too much because they're afraid of getting hurt; but I think you'll get hurt more if you never feel love at all.

At some point, you've just got to jump. You've got to quit being scared of
the "maybes" and "what-ifs" and just fucking jump. Quit cheating yourself out
of the best thing that could ever happen to you, quit cheating him out of
the same, and just fall. Fall hard, fall long, and fall forever.

Don’t ever break for someone,
who would never bend for you.

Sometimes it makes me want to laugh
Sometimes it makes me want to take my toaster in the bath.

But I should have known this right from the start.. only hope can keep me together. Love can mend your life, but love can break your heart.

This is what I know about love, that it is tested every day, and what is not renewed is lost. One either chooses to care more or to care less. Once the choice is to care less, then there is no stopping the momentum of goodbye.

This is how it works, you're young until you're not, you love until you don't, you try until you can't, you laugh until you cry, you cry until you laugh and everyone must breathe until their dying breath. No, this is how it works. You peer inside yourself, you take the things you like and try to love the things you took and then you take that love you made and stick it into someone else's heart, pumping someone else's blood and walking arm in arm. You hope it don't get harmed, but even if it does, you'll just do it all again.

Letting go isn't a one time thing, its something you do everyday, over and over again.

She was sad, though. But it was a hopeful kind of sad. The kind of sad that just takes time.

And it's true, I cant go on without you,
your smile makes me see clearer.
If you could only see in the mirror what I see.

"I just don't know if I wanna do it anymore, get close to somebody so they can leave again."
- - One Tree Hill

Sometimes she thinks she's strong, sometimes she thinks she's gone, past the point of feeling anything at all. S ometimes she's sure she's crazy. Sometimes she feels like maybe the only way to survive is to stay angry. And that works fine most of the time, but some things make her cry.. like Bruce Springsteen, silver Sebrings, eggs scrambled hard, home-made birthday cards. A gray sweatshirt over faded jeans with a hole in the pocket where a wallet's supposed to be. Blue sheets on an unmade bed, strong shoulders with a summer tan and rain in the headlights. Yeah, some things make her cry. She didn't shed a tear when he left her here, November 21st of last year. She said she'd be just fine, but maybe she lied cause some things make her cry.. like drive-in movies, oatmeal cookies, 49'ers, all night diners. Blue eyes under a red ball cap, waking up alone at 3AM. Icy streets, New Year's Eve, falling asleep on a brown love seat and runway lights. Yeah, some things make me cry.

And there's only four seasons, but even the best of us fall. She says hold me up darling, because I can't see straight. Been drinking again and staying up late. Hope you understand that it's just that time of year. And there's only four seasons, but these feelings are always here.

Don't ever lose hope.
Even when it's dark,
the stars still come out.

Does your memory play tricks on you? Does it do that thing where one day, every touch, every glance, every moment is so crystal clear you can feel it, like it’s happening right now? Then it does the other thing, where you struggle to remember how it felt to be in their arms, to gaze at their face, to touch their lips so gently with yours.

"You get a little moody sometimes but I think that's because you like to read. People that like to read are always a little fucked up."

So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.

But you're so hypnotizing.
You've got me laughing while I sing.
You've got me smiling in my sleep.
And I can see this unraveling.
Your love is where I'm falling.

Try and expect nothing,
but be open for anything.
Don't look for happiness,
but don't settle for anything less.

This is why you should never, ever get your hopes up.
This is why you should see the glass as half empty.
So when the whole thing spills, you aren’t as devastated.

"I never wanted the stars--never shot for the moon.
I like them right where they are;
all I ever wanted was you."
- Bon Jovi

And i've finally found that life goes on without you,
& my world still turns when your not around.

"if you end up with a boring, miserable life because
you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher,
your priest, or some guy on television telling
you how to do your shit, then you deserve it."
-Frank Zappa

so I am giving you to the other girls;
they can have you and the sun that smiles down on you,
they can have you and the sky that opens for you.
They can have you, and they can keep you.

I know just how it feels
to think of the right thing to say too late.
- Robert Frost

But my head hurts remembering
the memories I lost

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about taking chances. and how it’s really just about overcoming your fears. Because the truth is, every time you take a big risk in your life, no matter how it ends up, you’re always glad you took it.
-Scrubs

And when I asked you
how you'd been I meant I missed you
more than I've ever missed anything before.

sometimes, the hardest things to let go are the ones you never had.

Well hey, you're the only thing
I wouldn't change in this place.
It's strange to say you're the
only angel I ever gave away.
-- The Hush Sound

When you love someone, it will always stay there. I have to believe that even though we go our separate ways, we still will be connected by this bond, forever. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but I know it's a true thing. I know that no matter where you go or who it's with, we will always be connected. And when we look up at the stars. When we know it was real and it was why we're who we are.

without trust, everything falls apart.
++ Scrubs

“Sometimes people are beautiful.
Not in looks. Not in what they say.
Just in what they are.”
++ I Am The Messenger

And now I'm just so fucking sick of everything. I'm sick of getting hurt and I'm sick of hurting other people. It's like I don't know what I'm supposed to do anymore, pain has become a part of me - whether I like it or not, it's here to stay. And I'm either feeling the hurt or dishing it out to someone else and making them as miserable as the hurt I'm constantly feeling inside.

I don't believe that life is supposed to make you feel good,
or make you feel miserable either. Life is just supposed to
make you feel.

If we weren't meant to give things another try, our paths and thoughts would not keep crossing, and we would not keep tripping over our feelings for each other.

the leaving didn't hurt me near as badly
as the tears that were running down your face
- Just to See You Smile by Tim McGraw

Maybe we can make it if we're heart to heart.
And we can build this thing together,
stand in stone forever, nothing's gonna stop us now.
And if this world runs out of lovers we'll still have each other.
I'm so glad I found you, I'm not gonna lose you,
whatever it takes to stay here with you.
Take it to the good times, see it through the bad times.
Whatever it takes is what I'm gonna do.
Let them say we're crazy.
What do they know?
Put your arms around me, baby, don't ever let go.

Rule number one is, don't sweat the small stuff.  Rule number two is, it's all small stuff.
-Robert Eliot

It's not until I saw all the myriad ways
in which a person could be there for you,
that I realized all the ways
in which you would never be there for me.

Act on your emotions, so that people can know how you feel.
People can't know you love them unless you show it.

Often, it’s not about becoming a new person, but becoming the person you were meant to be, and already are, but don’t know how to be.
-Heath Buckmaster

i told him i loved him,
and the feeling was mutual.
he loved himself too.

someday you will meet someone who

drives you crazy-- someone you'll laugh

with and fight with and just do totally insane

things for, basically someone who

turns your life upside down <33

--dawsons creek.

I think it's time I let you go. And that's so hard to do because some part of me will be in love with you for the rest of my life. But the daydreaming, the running in place, it's not healthy. So this is me, cutting the cord. This is me doing what I should have done months ago: saying goodbye.

I miss you most when I'm driving alone and that song comes on the radio. You know, the one you always used to sing to me, no matter how much grief I gave you. You always sang it and I always smiled at you.

“Of course you’re gonna get your heart broken. And it isn’t just gonna happen once, but a lot. That’s just part of growing up, and it makes you stronger. Then you can handle it better the next time. You may not get through it yourself, but your friends will help you through it. And you’ll be a stronger person because of it. Then, one day, someone will come along, and it’ll all pay off, and no one will ever break your heart again.”

i fall for you and i get clobbered. you then fall for me, and i again, somehow, get clobbered. i'm tired of getting clobbered. it's just not worth it.
-rachel green, friends

i miss the sound of your voice;
the loudest thing in my head.
and i ache to remember all the violent,
sweet, perfect words that you said.

It's not the same anymore is it? It doesn't feel the way it used to. Do you miss the way we saw it?
Cause I sure as hell miss you.

" I want to be able to wake up every morning and be happy. Not because of what's happening later on that day. Not because of something someone said the previous day. But just because I'm happy. Because I'm one of the lucky ones."

The last time I saw him
I packed up my things
and he smiled like the first time
he told me his name

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.
Live the life you have imagined.
++ Henry David Thoreau

Here's to the notes lost in the washer, to the memories washed away.
Here's to never forgetting.
Here's to being young and never wanting to grow up.
Here's to waking up next to the one you love.
Here's to believing every lie people ever told you.
Here's to those that just need someone to sleep next to.
Here's to change, both good and bad.
Here's to missing people you care about.
Here's to moving on.
Here's to feeling infinite.
Here's to all the wishes at 11:11, hoping one day they'll come true.
Here's to remembering old friends.
Here's to all the words we never said, and to the ones we choke on.
Here's to holding your breath in that one perfect moment.
Here's to the ones who were on top of the world but fell off.
Here's to every tear you've wasted on people who never cared.
Here's to trying to be perfect even when you know its not possible.
Here's to finding him, and holding on tight.
Here's to the nights spent living for the moment.
Here's to speaking the most honest words you've ever spoken in your life.
Here's to those who fall in love in their dreams.
Here's to not knowing, and not wanting to know.
Here's to those who wonder where love starts.
Here's to serendipity... even if it doesn't last.
Here's to the girls who fall too fast... and know it.
Here's to the songs that make you feel like nothing hurts.
Here's to the ones who b end over backwards to be loved, but aren't.
Here's to everyone who has ever cried themselves to sleep.
Here's to those nights where you just can't sleep.
Here's to every word they said to you replaying, over and over.
Here's to leaping before you look.
Here's to the times I wish I had said no.
Here's to the times I'm glad I said yes.
Here's to that tingly butterfly feeling you get when he's around.
Here's to the nights when feelings change, for better or worse.
Here's to the first kisses.
Here's to those who survived to become stronger, better people.
Here's to life, as hard as it may be, and picking yourself up when you've fallen down.

sing because you love the noise, shout for something filled with joy.
you might be the reason someone lives. just take what life gives.
-love the noise; camera cant lie

I love writing, I love opinions and quotes and expressions. It's so beautiful to know that you're not alone in this messed up world. It's relieving to know that someone else feels the same way you do.

God is close to the broken hearted.
He rescues those who are crushed in spirit.
++ Psalm 34:18

Tonight this road home feels a little longer
I hope you know that you were my best friend.
Tonight I said goodbye, but I should have said more:
Thanks for the best time of my life.

He's that guy you want to hang out with,
even if you weren't dating him.
And he's cute in that way that's sorta like..
you know in the movies?
the guy you want the girl to end up with
that everyone pretends isn't cute,
but secretly they all think he is.

I guess you're right; I'm afraid.
I'm afraid to put my guard down.
I'm afraid that if you know who I am, you won't feel the same.
And I'm afraid that once my barrier is defeated and I'm comfortable,
that you'll walk away.

Be careful, though, because if you start believing that bad things happen for a reason, it hurts that much more when they don't.
-Scrubs

I want somebody to sleep with me, and just sleep. Someone to cuddle up with during a movie, on a couch. Stay up all night talking about nothing. Get lost in the woods together. Challenge me, let me challenge him. Talk about dreams, and make dreams,. Have fights, the kind that only really matter just as long as you're having them. Someone I can wrestle with, you know, play hard sometimes & not worry about breaking a nail or an arm. A guy who will < B>bring me flowers once in a while, maybe a rock too or a shell of some sort. Something he saw that made him think of me, made him think "this might make my girl smile" as he smiles to himself. A guy who wants me, maybe even needs me, just a little, enough to hold onto me with everything he's got.
