happy new year everyone, lol
7 comments & 21 new subs?!
that's how it always should be :)

i believe in karma. what you give is what you
get returned. i believe you can't appreciate real
love until you've been burned. i believe the grass
is greener on the other side. i believe you don't
know what you've got until you have to say goodbye.

it's so amazing when you fall in love
for the first time. it's all so new. the butterflies,
 smiles, hugs, and all of the nights spent on the
 phone. what makes it even more amazing is
that it never really ends. if you truly love
somebody, you never really stop. you'll move
on, you'll try to replace, but there are always
 going to be times when you think back to
the times when you really felt alive.

set your standards high and never settle
 for less. believe in yourself no matter what.
 but don't worry if you stray because the most
 important thing is what you've learned along the
 way. take all you've become to be all that you can be.
 soar above the clouds and let your dreams be set free.

1

i hope someday somebody wants to hold
 you for 20 minutes straight and that's all
they do. they don't pull away. they don't look
 at your face
. they don't try to kiss you. all they
 do is wrap you up in their arms without
 an ounce of selfishness in it.
- waitress <3

being without him would lead her to
 fall short in life, because life is not complete
 when a part of your heart is missing.

barefoot or first thing in the morning, i feel
 beautiful. i didn't always feel that way, but i feel
 that way now. when somebody just loves you,
 and when you make somebody else happy, when
 your presence seems to make them happy, you suddenly
 feel like the most beautiful person in the world.
- angelina jolie. <3

if you want something you've never
 had, do something you've never done.

my mom always told me to remember the
 three L's: live laugh & love. she always asked
 me
 which was most important and i would say
live because if you don't live you can't laugh
and love. however, she was always there to
 correct me and tell me love was the most important
 because if you never find love you'll never fully
 laugh and never completely understand the
meaning of living with the one you love.

there will always be that one guy,
 that one kiss, that one moment,
that she'll remember for the rest of her life.

you spend your life thinking you're
 on the right track, only to discover
 you're on the wrong train.

missing someone isn't about how long
 it has been since you have seen them
or the amount of time since you've talked.
it's about that very moment when you're doing
 something and you wish that they
 were right there with you.

there's always going to be that one
 awkward moment when you walk by
 that person & remember all that you once had.

the most important thing in life is your family.
there are days you love them, and others you
don't, but in the end they're the people that *
you always come home to. sometimes, its the
family you're born into and sometimes it's the
one that you make for yourself. <3

when you judge someone, you don't
 define them
. you define yourself.

before, my fear was being vulnerable.
 the ability of another human being to possibly
 tear apart your insides at any given moment
 was enough to keep me running. he, however,
 made my insides come alive. my smile
 become permanent, and laughter more
frequent. he took away my fear and gave me hope.
 but more importantly, for the first time in
 my life, instead of wanting to run, he
gave me every reason to stay.

you've changed me ; shaped me into this girl
who is actually capable of loving someone *
when just months ago, she couldn't even love
                                                       herself.

i am just like every other girl out there,
wondering how i will survive without him. but
guess what? i am. i underestimated my strength,
along with a million other girls. i just realized that
he needed me more than i needed him. & in the
end, it was his loss.

look, i guarantee that we'll have tough times.
 and i guarantee that at some point, one or both
 of us will want to get out of this thing. but i also
 guarantee that if i don't ask you to be mine, i'll
regret it for the rest of my life. because i know
 in my heart, you're the only one for me.

don't count the days ;
make the days count.

the minute you settle for less than you deserve,
you get even less than what you settled for.  *
don't be afraid to believe that you can have  -
what you want & have what you deserve.

i'm sorry i'm bad, i'm sorry i'm blue,
i'm sorry about all things i said to you
and i know i can't take it back.
i love how you kiss, i love all your sounds,
and baby the way you make my world go round.
and i just wanted to say, i'm sorry.
- buckcherry <3

when he was with you, he was really
 with you. h
e looked you straight in the eye
 & listened 
as if you were the only person in the world.

you want to know what love is?
 it's waking up in the middle of the night
 for no reason, shifting under the blankets,
& feeling the heat of the person next to you.
 you turn around & see them in their most peaceful,
 innocent, & vulnerable state. they breathe as
 though the weight of the world lies on anyone's
 shoulders but their own. you smile, kiss their
face in the most gentle manner so, as not to wake
 them. you turn back around and involuntarily a
 grin forms on your own face. you feel an arm
wrap around your waist, & you know,
 it doesn't get any better than this.

here's a toast, to the good days, the better
 friends. the ones that you just can't live without.
 the people that have taught you how to party,
 how to live, how to have a good time just sitting
 around. here are to the people that no matter
how bad things seem, are going to be there
 for you to lean back on & catch you if you fall.

she fell asleep for only a minute but when
 she awoke she found herself lying on his
 chest
, feeling him breathing steadily beneath
 her, his arm was draped around her shoulders
 & it seemed like he didn't want her to leave, ever.
 she whispered in his ear, though she knew he was
 asleep, "oh baby. if i could wake up like this
every single day, i would always be happy."

sometimes someone comes into your life that
 changes everything. raises your standards,
makes you laugh, & makes you feel like you.
there's something about him that you can't put
 into words, & even though you're not even
with him, you don't want to let him go.

ever have that one person in your life that you
 just can't give up on, the one person who can
screw you over time after time yet you always seem
 to give them another chance, & no matter how
 many times you say this is their last one, you
 know its a lie because there's always just one
more
waiting for them. the one person you know
 you're better off without but yet you can't find a
 way to let them go because deep down inside you
 wouldn't know what to do with out them. the one
 person
that you know doesn't deserve you but yet
 you choose to overlook it. because you love him..

abandoned my site for a month;
came back to find 2 comments & 3 subscribers?
well hope everyone has a good thanksgiving.

she was an ordinary girl who was falling
for that boy who wasn't there to catch her.

he misses you? good, he should. you're sexy,
pretty, fun, outgoing and fun to be around.
guys that haven't met you yet, miss you.
but don't get back together with him because
somewhere out there there is a guy searching really
 hard for you. he's the one that deserves someone
 amazing like you
. let him have it and
 not the asshole that left you.

sometimes someone comes into your life
that changes everything. raises your standards,
 makes you laugh, & makes you feel like you.
there`s something about him that you can`t put
 into words, & even though you`re not even
 with him, you don`t want to let him go.

back up, back up take another chance,
don't you mess up, mess up i don't wanna lose you.
wake up, wake up this ain't just a thing you give up, give up.
don't you say that i'd be better off, better off sitting by myself.
wondering if i'd be better off, better off without you boy.

the sun don`t shine forever but as long
as it’s here, we might as well shine together.
never mind the weather, we`ll build a
 love that will last forever.

my heart is that crack in the
 sidewalk that you walk on everyday.

p-s37

you're a wonderful person. you've got so
much to offer someone and i hope that one
 day
you'll finally meet the person who can
 make sense of all that pain you're carrying
 around. you deserve that. in my heart, i know
you didn't mean to hurt me. but i can't take
 the chance of that happening again, especially when
 you're not serious about our future together.
- the rescue; nicholas sparks

you know when you listen to music playing
 from another room? and you’re singing along
 because it’s a tune you really love? then a door
closes or a train passes by so you can’t hear
 the music anymore but you sing along anyway.
 then no matter how much time passes, when you
hear the music again you’re still in the exact
 same
time with it? that's what love is like.

i can't unthink about you. i can't unfeel
your touch. i can't unhear all the words or
unsay all the things that used to mean so much.
 i wish i could unremember everything my
heart's been through. i'm finding out it's
impossible to do. i can't unlove you.

kissing is like drinking salt water.
you drink and your thirst increases.

do you ever just sit & wonder why
 he chose you? do you ever stop & think
 that it was just too good to be true? does it ever
 seem like you`re afraid to lose him because
 without him your whole life will be ruined.

it's been months since we've actually had
 a real conversation. it's been months since
 you last called. it's been months since i've seen
 your face. what we had seems like it's been
forgotten & replaced. it seems like it was a one
time deal, like i only had one chance with you,
& that one chance has been screwed up. i didn't
 mean to. i let you go, i'll admit that, but i thought
 you'd care enough to come back. you always
 made me smile, but a smile isn't forever.
but now it's too late, & i've moved on.

remember the time you drove all night just
to meet me in the morning and i thought it was
 strange. you said 'everything changed'. you
felt as if you'd just woke up and you said, "this
 is the first day of my life
". i'm glad i didn't die
 before i met you. but now i don't care i could go
 anywhere with you and and i'd probably be happy."

it's just that... i don't want to be somebody's
 crush. if somebody likes me, i want them to like
 the real me, not what they think i am, and i don't
 want them to carry it around inside. i want
 them to show me, so i can feel it too.

you will never forget your first love. that's
 what makes it so special. you love so hard,
so deeply, and so intensely because you don’t
know any different. it's the best until it is over.
 then you hurt like you've never been hurt before.
eventually you love again, but you love differently.
 you will love more carefully and more cautiously,
 continually comparing that person to your first love.

what's teenage love? it's staying up late
 for each other and barely staying awake in
class the next day. it's passing each other between
 classes and stopping to say hi, but ending up
 running to your next class right before the
bell rings. it's going to the mall, wandering
 around hand in hand
, with a silence that's
comfortable. it's watching a movie in the
theaters with his arm slowly creeping onto
your shoulders
, and you resting your head
 in his arms
. it's walking around at night for
 no reason at all
; his chest, her head, looking
 at the stars
. it's uncertainty of how long it
will last, a risk you're both willing to take, even
 if it means you'll have a broken heart. it's not
yet
true love, not like, nor lust, nor infatuation.
 it's teenage love; here to stay, here to play
 with our hearts
and never go away.

listen, kid: love is the only chance for
happiness you'll ever get in this life, and
if you're going to let a little thing like rejection
 stand in your way, baby you might as well
stay right there on the ground because people
are going to be walking over you for the rest of your life.

if you meet a "loner," no matter what they tell
you, it's not because they enjoy solitude. it's
because they have tried to blend into the world
before, and people continue to disappoint them.

it's not okay because he made me laugh. because 
i didn't have to pretend to be anything other than
who i am when i was with him. because i don't
believe that stuff about finding your other half,
but because i do believe that what you look for is
someone who makes you a better person when
you're with them, who changes you for the better,
who makes you the best person you can possibly be,
& because i thought i had found that in him.

kiss all the guys you can, because if you
 don't, you're always gonna wonder if he was the
 one
you should've seen fireworks with.

the open road is calling & begging for us.
 go roll down
the window, go crank up that
radio. let's drive until you hit 
the sky. it's not about
 where we will go. let's start living before we die.

she smokes like there's no tomorrow.
s
he says it makes her feel alive. she drinks
 
her wine like water 'cause she feels dry inside.
 s
he drives her car like it's a bullet. she says
 that time is slipping away.
she never thinks
 about her future. i
t's a million miles away.

i'm sitting here wondering how could i write
 a quote about heart-pounding teenage-love
 when i've never experienced it. well being a
 teenager & watching my fair share of romance
 movies, i know one thing, & that is that love
 is magical. well at least it is in the movies.
 it's when two people come face to face by
 pure fate & look at each other with no
 intention of leaving, not for a minute. it
usually ends all well & good; with a killer
knock-your-socks-off kiss; with amazing
passion. but in real life, love is messy, people
 fight & sometimes, despite the magic, they
leave. so, love? well love is being able to put
 up
with someone for 5 minutes at a time &
 liking it enough to come back for more.
and if you play your cards right & the chemistry
flows, maybe you too will get your happy ending,
 knock-your-socks-off kiss too,
with lots of passion, of course.

he asked me what i planned on
doing for the rest of my life. when i said
"i don't know," he got down on one knee
 and said; "wanna spend it with me?"

haven't been updating much
busy with school & losing subs :(
but here you go, enjoy..

youu know you`re in love when
youu wanna tell everyone about
it, even when they haven`t asked.

the greatest challenge in life is to find someone
who knows all of your flaws, differences, and
mistakes and yet still sees the best in you.

 

“with guys, they're only gonna want what
 they can't have. nobody wants the beaten-up
 prada purse on canal street. everyone wants
the brand-new colorful louis vuitton one that
 no one can get. guys don't want the girl who's
 been around the block." - paris hilton <3

this is why you should never
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 devestated.

 

she said that she wanted to get high.
 he took her to the tallest hill in town.
 
she said that she wanted to stay up all
night and drink.
 he gave her a 12 pack
 of caffeinated pepsi and said "drink up."
 
she said that she wanted to shoot herself
in the face.
he gave her a water gun, put
 her finger on the trigger, aimed it at her
 face, and helped her pull the trigger.
she
 said that she wanted to cut herself.
he
took a polaroid of her, handed it to her
 along with scissors, and had her cut it up.
 
she said that she wanted to see her blood.
 
he took her to get her ears pierced. she
said that she wanted to cry herself to sleep.

he had her watch a sad, romantic movie
before bed.
she said that she wanted to be
 alone.
he gave her a name tag that said
"my name is: alone."
she said that she wanted
 to have someone there to take care of
her, always
. he asked when he wasn't.

 

remember all of the good times and all
 of the special people that were with you
 during them. let go of the past, but don`t
 forget it 
because there are a great many
 things
 that can be learned from what you
have been through. and most importantly:
  follow your heart, stand up for what you 
believe in, and take your own path, always
 do what you want to do
. <3 *

there's nothing more valuable than
having someone in your life that
 reminds you of who you are. <3

 

everyone says love hurts, but that is not true.
 loneliness hurts. rejection hurts. losing someone
hurts. envy hurts. everyone gets these things
 confused with love, but in reality love is the only
 thing
in this world that covers up all pain and
makes someone feel wonderful again. love is the
 only thing in this world that does not hurt.

 

have you ever noticed how adults often
 compare their love to that of two teenagers?
 that's because our love is crazy, senseless
and unlimited. it's the most ridiculously passionate
 love there is, and once we've had it, we'll spend
 the rest of our lives searching for a replica of it.

in junior high school, there were days when
 you felt like nothing was worth getting out of
bed
for. but then, you remembered, you were
 going to see her. your day was gonna have
all these moments, moments that were full
of possibility. when you were sure that
something
, something was going to happen.
- the wonder years <3

 

you don't give up just because things get hard.
- ryan sheckler <3

once in a lifetime means there's
 no second chance, so i believe that you and
 me
should grab it while we can. make it last
 forever
 and never give it back <3

i promise that if you give it your
best shot, i'll give it mine & we'll impress
 the whole world and make them
 think twice about us <3 

i was afraid of getting my heart broken
 again, like before. because you hurt me so
 bad, and i was afraid to be vulnerable. and
 i was afraid of you and the way that you
 make me feel. and i know that doesn't matter
 now after what i did, but i just thought that
 you should know. this was how i spent my summer,
 wanting you. i'm just too scared to admit it.

don't let a guy build you up with his words
 because the higher you are, the harder you
 fall and trust me you always fall.

it's those moments when you drive around
 in a car full of friends around a town too
 small for you. where you gasp for breath
between each laugh. it's those moments where
 you get high off just breathing in so deep, you feel
 your lungs getting cold. for a second,
that
split second
, you don't care. you don't care about
 school, about parents, about money, about rules,
 or broken hearts. who you care about are the
kids sitting next to you. cause it's all we
really
 need
isn't it? those kids next to you. yeah, the ones who
 make you feel invincible, even at your weakest points.

i get to make my own decisions, have my own
 life,
do whatever i choose. & here's the good
 part..
what i choose is you. you're what i want
 to wake up
to, go to bed with & do
 everything else in
between.

i wanted to smell the burnt midnight again.
i wanted to feel the wind. it was a secret
wanting like a song i couldn't stop humming,
or loving someone i could never have.

it's funny how when you finally get
 over someone.
you start seeing them in a
 whole new perspective. i
t's like you're looking
 at them through the eyes
of your best friend; & you
 realize he's nothing
special. he's just another ordinary boy.

somebody wants you ; somebody needs you
somebody dreams about you every single night.

we fell like shooting stars & autumn
 leaves, 
staying up later than the street
 lights.
promising what could never be.
i
could never be anything without you.

Vanessa 03

skip instead of a walk. order a diet water
wherever you are and ask with a serious face.
 when the money comes out of the atm machine
 scream, "i won, i won!" and when you leave the
 zoo, run towards the parking lot yelling, "run for
 your lives! they're loose!" live life crazy.

i want to be the smile, the first thought,
 the long drive or the short walk,
the last
 voice,
the random call, the laugh,
the perfect
 kiss
, the comfort hug, your second half, the
 sparkle in your eye, the everything you need,
just what you want.. i want to be yours. <3

sweet like candy to my soul,
sweet you rock and sweet you roll.
lost for you, i'm so lost for you.

RYAN

it's not that our love died, it just never really bloomed.

the true test of love; no matter how long you two
go without talking, he'll always find a way back into
your heart. no matter how hard you try to forget him,
you can't. it's the little things that mean the most, but
break your heart all at the same time. it's those times
when a song comes on the radio & immediately you cry.
missing him. wanting him. needing him.

if you hold back feelings because you're
afraid of getting hurt, you end up hurting, anyway.

whitebeachchairs.png

vanity was always my favorite sin.
glamour was always my favorite weapon.
pain was always my favorite pleasure.
beauty was always my favorite crime.
envy was always my favorite poison.
love was always my favorite hate.
fame was always my favorite motive.
& life was always my favorite drug.

i remember our first kiss, the butterflies.
i know you felt them, too. i can still taste
your lips. the night i wrapped all my love in you.

when you open your locker & find a
death threat taped inside, don't be alarmed.
 my best friend just found out you broke my heart.

ehh..
more subs & comments please?
i started school.
not as much updates anymore :/

alex and taylor

i am coming to terms with the fact that
loving someone requires a leap of faith,
and that a soft landing is never guaranteed.

we can bomb the world to pieces,
but we can't bomb it into peace.

sometimes i can`t believe
you're the one i waited for so long.

i promise that if you give it your best
 shot, i'll give it mine & we'll impress the whole
 world and make them think twice about us <3 

she doesn't care if you call her and wake
 her up in the middle of the night. she hates
 arguing, but you know she's good at it.
she's terrified of the dark, but when she
thinks of you, she smiles. she laughs at your
 jokes even if they're dumb. she loves the
 way you look at her, and she wouldn't
 change that for the world.

i was afraid of getting my heart broken
 again, like before. because you hurt me so
bad, and i was afraid to be vulnerable. and i
was afraid of you and the way that you make
 me feel. and i know that doesn't matter now
 after what i did, but i just thought that you
should know. this was how i spent my summer,
 wanting you. i'm just too scared to admit it.

being happy isn't about having
 everything in your life perfect. maybe it's
 about stringing together all the little things.

everyone has someone in their life that keeps
 them looking forward to another day <3

in this world, people are going to
 say 
don`t do this, don`t do this, don`t
do this
. you know what your going
 to end up withnothing to do.
- america's next top model <3

it's so weird & confusing that when i say
 i don't know what to do, i really mean it.
one minute you`re making me laugh out loud,
 like no other guy can, & the next i just want
to get up & leave cause you piss me off so much.

it's kind of hard for me to explain,
but i just have this feeling when i'm with you 
& i know we're supposed to be together.

i'm not crying right now cause i don't
 want you to leave. i don't, by the way.
i'm crying cause i thought that i could be
 the one who could change your mind..
i guess i just thought that i was a good
 enough
reason for you to stay.

after i wake up from dreaming about you,
 i have the biggest smile on my face, then it
 quickly fades away, cause i realize that it
was just a dream, & you're not really mine.

don't worry about it. it's time to move on.
 you'll have your friends to confide in, to find
 comfort in, to cherish. & he'll have his stupid
 guitar
, his ugly face, & his..nothing. you'll
 be strong enough to go about daily life without
 him. & he'll try & catch your eye, & raise his
 voice just to get noticed by you. so don`t worry
 about it
. he's not worth your attention. not anymore.

i wish we'd never had those good times,
 never laughed together & eaten your toasted
 sandwiches
together, i wish you'd never
held me tight & whispered into my ear how
much you loved me, then tried to show me
 how much by spreading your arms as far as
 they could go. 'cause now those times are so
 far away, & i miss them more & more each
 day
, as you cut me off from your memory.

& now the times are changing, look at
 everything that`s come & gone. sometimes
 when i go play that old six string, i think
about you & wonder what went wrong.
- summer of '69; bryan adams <3

it's the people who hug you & never want
to let go. the people who you haven't seen
 for months, but nothing has changed at all.
the people who give to you more than you
 give to them. the people that truly understand
 who you are. the people who you cry about,
 the people who you live for. the people in your
 photographs that have light genuinely shining
 through their eyes & their smile. those are
 the people that take your breath away. <3

you want to know the hardest thing
 
about summer? not falling in love & wondering
if it will last..no, it`s putting on a bra over a sunburn.

there's something about the look in your
 eyes something i've noticed when the light
 was just right it reminded me twice that i was alive 
& it reminded me that you're so worth the fight.

did you know i kept all of your pictures?
i don't have the strength to part with them yet.
i tried to erase the way your kisses taste
but some things a girl can never forget.

so tell me now, what hurts more?
 thinking that you should hate him
 or knowing that you don't. </3

just like ships, we float through each
other’s lives, through the waters of beauty
& grace. we will one day dock at the same
port & give rest to our weary legs.

i'd spend a million nights just like
 tonight, you know.
just staring up at the
 starry night sky thinking about you.
 
well, i would give my life for you.

i'm stretching, but you're just out of
reach.
i'm ready when you're ready for me.*

jess_nick16

when i say 'i love you', it's not because
 i want you or because i can't have you.
 it has nothing to do with me. i love what you
 are
, what you do, how you try. i've seen
your kindness and your strength. i've seen
the best and worst of you. & i understand
 with perfect clarity exactly what you are.

you guys rock :)

& he knew that he`d never have to say to me
that he was sorry. his hand against my face,
trying to wipe away my tears, said it all.

boys are like purses, you're always
 gonna have that one boy that you're always
 comfortable with and you know you'll
always kind of like. that's your purse that
you wear everywhere. then you have
that gorgeous bag that you want everyone
to see you with, but the gorgeous bag is
usually an asshole or costs a lot of money.
 then you have those other purses that you really
like, but you really don't want to be seen with.
- lauren conrad ; laguna beach

you only want me when she doesn't want you.
you played me just as bad as she plays you.

i want sunshine, beach hair, the smell of
 coconuts, salt water and sand all over. 
i wanna drive 90 with all the windows down,
 and float in the pool. i wanna party with
my best friends. i wanna watch fireworks 
and lie on the front lawn looking at the stars.
 i want an adventure every day. i want the
 morning after around a kitchen table, laughing
 about the night before. i want the next day
with my friends on the front porch. i want summer.

here is something you must always
remember- you are braver than you believe,
 stronger than you seem, and smarter than
 you think. but the most important thing is:
even if we're apart, i'll always be with you <3

my biggest fear? no it's not spiders or
snakes or even clowns. although i do tend
 to have nightmares about them. but this
 fear is much bigger. bigger than me or you.
the fear of leaving this world without affecting
 someone's life. without leaving a memory of me
 somewhere on this earth. that's what i'm afraid of.

i held him close to me with my eyes
closed, wondering if anything in my life
 had ever been this perfect, and knowing
 at the same time that it hadn't. i was in love,
 and the feeling was even more wonderful
than i ever imagined it could be.

i tried to move on. i really did.
i tried to tell myself that you don't want me
and that i can't have you anymore.
i tried so hard, but how can you let go
of the only person who makes you happy?
the only person who makes you feel alive?
the only reason you're still here?
you can't just let go of someone like that.

decided that enough is enough. that since
you obviously don't care about me anymore,
i'm going to move on. easier said than done
i suppose. because at the end of the day,
i'm staring out the window with these tears on
my cheeks. just look at what you've done to me.

load my iPod up with songs we're gonna
 dance to. and head out to the beach. this is
 the life
; bikinis and sunscreen, best friends
 and beaches, boys and kisses.

i'm just a summer girl. i wear flip flops.
when i let my hair down, that's when the
party starts. who needs a boyfriend? i've
got my girl friends. & when we get together,
the summer never ends <3

you said you'd love me until the day you
die & as far as i know, you're still alive.

ever get the feeling when you wanna run
away
? your friends try to stop you & you
 don't know what to say. your parents suck
 & they fight all day.. it's getting late so you
 go to lay down, trying to sleep but it's dizzy
 all around. you've loved a guy but you're
 waiting too long. why does everyone's life
 feel so right when yours feels so wrong?
 you're trying to make the right choices to
 succeed..you feel alone & lost.. you just
 wish for a perfect life.. how much does
 that cost? you lose control, you keep getting
 mad
, you realize everything you have
 just gets you sad. i learned that you gotta
 keep your head up & stay strong cause
 bullshit is something that was played all
 along. you go in the kitchen & grab a knife
 but then you think to yourself, it isn't
worth ending my life.

you know i used to spend everyday thinking
 about you & dreaming about you, & everytime
 you walked by; i lost myself, do you know
what that feels like? & you couldn't possibly
 know
what it feels like to have that person not
 have the same feelings back. look, i'm sorry
if you miss the way i looked at you but i don't
 miss
the way you never looked at me.

your high school friends know who you are.
but your elementary school friends know why.

sometimes you have to test someone.
not because you don't trust them,
but to see how much they'll sacrifice for you.
and sometimes you have to let them go;
not because you suddenly stopped loving them
but to see if they love you enough to come back.

he asked me if i was alright.
and shocked i looked at him after
 ignoring me all day, you ripped out
my heart, threw it on the ground,
 and jumped on it several times
. yeah i'm alright. dumbass.

if you think you're in love, don't get your
 hopes up. it's not love until you go through
 both good & bad times together. if you love
 someone, you would know why you love them.
 if you have no reason, then think about it. do
 you really love them? you would go through
 all these fights & break ups only to realize that
 there's no point, because you're always gonna
 get back together. you would spend time together,
 even if both of you are broke. love isn't about
 money; love is priceless. love is something you
 could never buy; love is when one of you
 makes a huge mistake, but then in the end
you work it all out because you realize that it's
 just one mistake & it's not worth it, because
 all you want is for it to be forever. but then,
never say forever because everything has a
 ending. but that's only in my opinio
n. love is
 a strong
word & has many definitions. listen to
 me or not, why do i care? what do i
 know? i've never been in love.

you know someone is a true friend when
you are about to break down & cry but
 they will say the stupidest, most random
 thing just to see you smile. <3 =)

there once was a girl who hung out with her
 friends every friday night. a girl who would
say 'lol' after every four words. she would
laugh
when she slipped while ice skating &
 just flowed through life without a problem.
 over the summer, the girl fell. no, not from
 ice skating, but for a boy. he was perfect.
 perfect hair, perfect smile, perfect everything.
 he told her he loved her one day, but little
 did she know she was caught up in his trap.
 days later, she got a call from him saying,
 "i don't love you anymore. you're not worth
 the attention." & the phone was hung up. school
 started & this girl walked to lunch alone. she
 laughed, but only when she thought about how
 stupid
she was to fall for him, & discarded all
 her friends
from any future friday night fun.
what happened to the up-beat, loving girl? i`m
 really starting to miss her more & more.

we used to be able to talk about everything,
 but now it`s impossible to even start a decent
 
conversation with you. you can`t deny it, things
 have changed. we`ve grown apart, & you have
 to face the fact that i will no longer be there
 every single time you need me, just like you`re
 not there every single time i need you. the truth
 is what it is, & that is i do not have anymore
 respect
for you as an individual now. you`re
 just another face in the crowd.

it`s amazing the things you realize when
 you lose someone: you get mad at yourself
for not saying the things you could've a million
 times
, you take for granted the days spent
 doing nothing when you could have been
with them. anyone can be taken, at any time
 in our lives, but we always wait until they're
 gone to say the things we never had
 the courage to before.

sometimes just holding hands
 is holding onto everything <3

sure, you don't think you're pretty. but the
 gorgeous girl on that myspace page doesn't
think she's that hot either. if we stop comparing
 ourselves to size zero stick-thin models, we may
 just find our own beauty. our beauty is not
defined by our jeans size. it's not defined by
 our faces. its defined by the things inside
our heart ; if we care for other people, if we
 love, if we're caring, if we're passionate,
 if we're happy, if we have self esteem.. beauty
 is much more than being thin and having
perfect features. those are nothing compared
 to real beauty.. what's inside of each and
every woman on this earth. if we show
what's really inside of us, maybe guys will
stop seeing us as a good night.. because we'll
 know we're better than that. maybe if we
 stop thinking "if i was that beautiful, life
would be perfect" .. because it won't.
beauty is not skin-deep. <3

when "your song" comes on the radio ; turn
 the station
. when the day comes that he realizes
what a mistake he made & tries calling ;
turn your phone off.  when he tries coming
over ; don`t answer the door. think of the
 broken promises, the lies, the manipulation,
 & the tears, the wasted moments. think
 about how your heart used to jump when your
 phone would vibrate in the middle of the
night
, & how it felt to your stomach when
you saw it wasn`t him & realized once again he
hadn`t called when he said he was going to.

you're only a teenager.  you're not yet married,
 so go with the flow, laugh tons, use manners,
and try something new. just kiss him already.
 trust your feelings, spend your cash, introduce
 yourself, take a chance, study hard, seek
happiness, and regret nothing. don't laugh at
 people's dreams, make a wish on 11:11,
challenge yourself, take pictures and appreciate
 the memories. you should make time to dance
 in your underwear, and learn from the past. play
 dress up and then take all your clothes
 off. have the time of your life.

she fell asleep for only a minute but when
she awoke she found herself lying on his chest,
 feeling him breathing steadily beneath her.
 his arm was draped around her shoulders &
 it seemed like he didn't want her to leave, ever.
 she whispered in his ear, though she knew he
was asleep, "oh baby. if i could wake up like this
every single day, i would always be happy."

summer is for breaking. pack nothing. leave
 without a note. follow your internal compass.
 wear what you slept in. sleep in what you`re
 wearing
. use spf. listen to the ocean but don`t
take it`s advice word for word. insist on
 karaoke. display skin. attract a following. steal
a heart. lose track of time. live your life.
- american eagle <3

in a few years, i'll be off to college. high
 school will finally be over. i won`t get to
 see him everyday like i used to. my best friends
 & i will go our separate ways; we`ll be
 lucky if two of us stay in touch. nothing will
be the same, instead everything will be new.
 i won`t have a house to come home to everyday.
 no siblings to scream at. just alone, in a dorm,
 far away from home. the people i`ve loved
for the longest of times will be another
memory
added to my photo album.
