I'd do anything

Even though it’s cloudy now, the sun can’t hide for long.
 I’ve really missed that smile of yours since it’s been gone.
Tell me this won’t melt away, I want everything to stay the same.
I’ve been waiting here for awhile, maybe this time it will work out.
Because you’re the one that I will never forget about.

And it’s fearless to have faith when you’re coming in blind.
But trust me baby, I’m not going to let you down this time.
And it’s hard to take the jump and risk the fall.
But trust me baby, in the end it’s worth it all.

I would spend a million nights, if they were just like tonight.
There are so many reasons why we are meant to be.
We crossed paths in the life for a reason.
 I know that eventually we will be inseparable.
I love your existence; I just can’t get enough of you.

And it’s fearless to have faith when you’re coming in blind.
But trust me baby, I’m not going to let you down this time.
And it’s hard to take the jump and risk the fall.
But trust me baby, in the end it’s worth it all.

So just kiss me and wrap your hands in my hair.
I can feel your smile on my lips and the happiness in your heart.
You’re the only person who’s ever made me feel anything.
And this is it for me, you’re it for me, I’m not going anywhere.

a sappy little love song

A sappy little love song:
I want to write songs, write them in the stars.
And I want to sing them, but only if you’ll sing along.
Your voice is my favorite part of you, next to that smile.
You know if you asked me I’d say you’re perfect.

I don’t know much about anything, but I know I want you.
I don’t like much at all, but I sure like you.
You know maybe this might be love, be love.
I can never make up mind, but I choose you.
You never make up your mind, but I hope you pick me too.

I want to leave my mark right on your heart
But only if you’ll keep it there forever
I’m always afraid to get hurt, never want to take a leap
But I don’t think I can stay away, and I know I don’t want too.
So show me something real, that true kind of love.

And I don’t know much about anything, but I know I want you
I don’t like much at all, but I sure like you
You maybe this could be love, be love
I can never make up my mind but I choose you
You never make up your mind, but I hope you pick me too

This is your own sappy little love song.
So please just take this chance with me
Maybe it will be hard but I know it will be worth it

Decisions, decisions

Don’t make me cry for you
I don’t want to show that I care anymore
This world is hard enough with you in it

Let alone when you’re always around
Let me be oh let me be
Don’t keep making a fool out of me
Just let me be oh let me be
Stop making a fool of me

I feel hopeless and helpless when you’re gone
But damaged and bruised when you’re here
I want you to leave, but beg you to stay
The pain is kind of like a rush to me
I’m better off alone, but can’t stay away

Let me be oh let me be
Don’t keep making a fool out of me
Just let me be oh let me be
Stop making a fool of me

Your face is like an angel
While your heart is as cold as ice
I hate you, I love you, I wish I could hate you
I miss you; go away, I really want you to stay

YOU ARE HUMAN, so read these.

Ten Rules for Being Human

by Cherie Carter-Scott

1.You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.
2.You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life."
3.There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."
4.Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
5.Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
6."There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."
7.Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
8.What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9.Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10.You will forget all this.

an ode to the nice guy.

This is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores. This is in honor of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honor of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern. This is in honor of the guys who respect a girl’s every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style.

This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they’re at her door, for the guys who accompany girls to bars as buffers against the rest of the creepy male population, for the guys who know a girl is fishing for compliments but give them out anyway, for the guys who always play by the rules in a game where the rules favor cheaters, for the guys who are accredited as boyfriend material but somehow don’t end up being boyfriends, for all the nice guys who are overlooked, underestimated, and unappreciated, for all the nice guys who are manipulated, misled, and unjustly abandoned, this is for you.

This is for that time she left 40 urgent messages on your cell phone, and when you called her back, she spent three hours painstakingly dissecting two sentences her boyfriend said to her over dinner. And even though you thought her boyfriend was a chump and a jerk, you assured her that it was all ok and she shouldn’t worry about it. This is for that time she interrupted the best killing spree you’d ever orchestrated in GTA3 to rant about a rumor that romantically linked her and the guy she thinks is the most repulsive person in the world. And even though you thought it was immature and you had nothing against the guy, you paused the game for two hours and helped her concoct a counter-rumor to spread around the floor. This is also for that time she didn’t have a date, so after numerous vows that there was nothing “serious” between the two of you, she dragged you to a party where you knew nobody, the beer was awful, and she flirted shamelessly with you, justifying each fit of reckless teasing by announcing to everyone: “oh, but we’re just friends!” And even though you were invited purely as a symbolic warm body for her ego, you went anyways. Because you’re nice like that.

The nice guys don’t often get credit where credit is due. And perhaps more disturbing, the nice guys don’t seem to get laid as often as they should. And I wish I could logically explain this trend, but I can’t. From what I have observed on campus and what I have learned from talking to friends at other schools and in the workplace, the only conclusion I can form is that many girls are just illogical, manipulative bitches. Many of them claim they just want to date a nice guy, but when presented with such a specimen, they say irrational, confusing things such as “oh, he’s too nice to date” or “he would be a good boyfriend but he’s not for me” or “he already puts up with so much from me, I couldn’t possibly ask him out!” or the most frustrating of all: “no, it would ruin our friendship.” Yet, they continue to lament the lack of datable men in the world, and they expect their too-nice-to-date male friends to sympathize and apologize for the men that are jerks. Sorry, guys, girls like that are beyond my ability to fathom. I can’t figure out why the connection breaks down between what they say (I want a nice guy!) and what they do (I’m going to sleep with this complete ass now!). But one thing I can do, is say that the nice-guy-finishes-last phenomenon doesn’t last forever. There are definitely many girls who grow out of that train of thought and realize they should be dating the nice guys, not taking them for granted. The tricky part is finding those girls, and even trickier, finding the ones that are single.
So, until those girls are found, I propose a toast to all the nice guys. You know who you are, and I know you’re sick of hearing yourself described as ubiquitously nice. But the truth of the matter is, the world needs your patience in the department store, your holding open of doors, your party escorting services, your propensity to be a sucker for a pretty smile. For all the crazy, inane, absurd things you tolerate, for all the situations where you are the faceless, nameless hero, my accolades, my acknowledgement, and my gratitude go out to you. You do have credibility in this society, and your well deserved vindication is coming.

quit smoking

I have decided that I am going to quit smoking! I need to do this, it has been way too long and I can see how badly it is affecting my health. I realized the other day that I don't even smoke now because I am craving a cigarette but it is more just out of habit. It is going to be really hard to quit cold turkey, so I decided to slowly just stop smoking as much and my goal is to be completely smoke free by my 21st birthday on February 16th. My first goal is to make one pack last me 3 or 4 days, when usually I smoke a pack a day. This will not just help my health but also my wallet. I figured out that I spend almost 60 bucks a week on cigarettes, and that money could go to so many other things. I am going to be recording my status on here as an outlet to help get me through it. I'm nervous about the whole thing, but I am also excited to push myself to really quit for good. I want this so bad that I don't have a choice but to follow through. :)

 “It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live socautiously that you might as well not have lived at all - in which case, you fail by default.”
— J.K. Rowling



I'm fine. I mean, I'm not over it, but little by little it's getting easier to pretend it's easier, which means easier might be right around the corner.
- Gilmore Girls.

You want to know what living life actually is? It's waking up on 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.
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happinessconsists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
Albert Camus


People always think that the most painful thing is losing
the one you love in your life. The truth is, the most painful
thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too
much, forgetting that you are special, too

well, what i don't get is why do we exist? i don't mean how, but why.' i watched the fireflies of his thoughts orbit his head. he said, 'we exist because we exist. . .we could imagine all sorts of universes like this one, but this is the one that happened."

Just once I want my heart to lead me somewhere 
that there's a chance of a happy ending.


You're the only person that ever made me feel 
anything, really feel. Even if it wasn't always 
the best of feelings, you're the only one who 
could make me smile or tear me down in three 
seconds flat. You're the only person that can 
drive me crazy, in both good and bad ways. You're 
the only person that ever made me feel like I 
didn't have to try so hard. And I know that 
you're not okay without me either, or you 
wouldn't talk about such things as you do. 
I just wish you knew I still loved you, and I 
wish you would do something with that knowledge. 
I wish you would grab me and hold me tight in 
your arms and whisper in my ear how much you 
loved me more, like you always did.


I believe that we are who we choose to be. 
Nobody's going to come and save you, you've got 
to save yourself.


True strength is being able to hold it all 
together when no one would blame you for falling 
apart.

Each memory was now a shadow of a shadow of a shadow. The only thing that remained tangible was the sense of absence.
To love someone is a very special thing , but for that someone to love you back is more of a miracle. If you happen to stumble upon such a miracle, make sure you realize it.  Never take it for granted, never throw it away, never let it sit, and most of all never let it die
You deserve the right kind of love, the kind of love that makes you happy, the fantastic love that's in books and movies. Even if you aren't together forever, you'll want to look back and never regret falling in love with him. That's the kind of love we all deserve.

It's the rule of life that everything you have always wanted comes the very second you stop looking for it.
-Sex and the City


Their plan had been very simple: to stay together for the rest of their lives. A plan that anyone within their circle would agree was accomplishable. They were best friends, lovers and soul mates, destined to be together, everyone thought. But as it happened, one day destiny greedily changed its mind.
- P.S. I Love You, Cecilia Ahern.

Rule number one is, don't sweat the small stuff.  Rule number two is, it's all small stuff.
You want to know what living life actually is? It's waking up on 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.
Who cares what you could have done, what you should have done, or what you might have done? What matters is what you do now and from now on.
I have moments in my brain where you're not there. My brain is the only place where I know I'm not in love with you. My heart, on the other hand, would do anything to have you back.
Don’t you dare tell me nothing matters. Everything matters. Every fucking drop of rain, every ray of sunlight, every wisp of cloud matters and they matter because I can see them and if I can see them then they can see me and I know that there’s an entire world that cares out there, hiding behind a world that doesn’t, afraid to show who it really is and with or without you, I will drag that world out of the dirt and the blood and the muck until we live in it. Until we all live in it.

Beware of the word friend. 
It can often be used by men or the women that 
love them to excuse the most unfriendly behavior. 
Personally, when I’m picking friends, 
I like the ones who don’t make me cry myself to sleep.

We've all been there but, you know now, love hurts. You'll understand that better soon enough. But this time, it's your turn. So suffer and live it, because believe it or not, kid, he aint the only force pumping life through them veins. You got heart.
I spent a lot of time being miserable. It's like misery's an old friend. And it tricks you sometimes into thinking that it's just always gonna be there, and that you can't be happy. But you can. You can walk away from pain. And i think being love's the best way to do it.
You can't waste time over missing something in the past. Life changes, people grow up and grow apart, and you accept that. Yet you still can't stop thinking of how good it used to be; afraid you'd never experience it again, afraid you've already lived it and already lost it.
We crossed paths for a reason. The planets align in the particular season. It's clear to me, that we'll eventually be inseparable. I love your existence, I can't get enough.

when faced with two choices, simply toss a coin.
it works not because it settles the question for you,
but because in that brief moment when the coin is in the air, 
you suddenly know what you are hoping for. 


i thought -- wait i can do this -- i thought that it mattered 
what i said or where i said it. then i realized the only 
thing that matters is that you make me happier than i 
ever thought i could be and if you let me i will spend the 
rest of my life trying to make you feel the same way.

- Friends

We all have that boy. That boy who you're completely over, but you still think about before you 
sleep. That boy who you avoid talking to, but still wish he would IM you just once. That boy who 
you have to make yourself not think about, but always wonder if he is thinking about you.
And who do you think you are. Running 'round leaving scars, collecting your jar 
of hearts and tearing love apart. You're gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul. 
So don't come back for me, don't come back at all.
You haven't lost your smile at all, it's right under your nose. You just forgot it was there.

time takes it all, whether you want it to or not. time takes it all, time bears it away, and in the end there is only darkness. sometimes we find others in that darkness, and sometimes we lose them there again
- Stephen King


"PEOPLE ARE SO FUCKING DUMB. NOBODY READS ANYMORE, NOBODY GOES OUT AND LOOKS AND EXPLORES THE SOCIETY AND CULTURE THAT THEY WERE BROUGHT UP IN. PEOPLE HAVE ATTENTION SPANS OF 5 SECONDS AND AS MUCH DEPTH AS A GLASS OF WATER."
- david bowie

If you make him feel like he’s top-notch, pick of the crop, the most important thing in your universe, well, you’ll have him. A man will fall in love with you when he believes you already love him and think he’s the best, but do not ever let your wall down. Not right now at least. What you have to do right now is have fun; meet them, greet them, do your thing, and move on to the next one. Do not let yourself get attached because when that happens, they win. Never let them win.
My heart stopped - it just stopped beating. And for the first time in my life, I had that feeling. You know - like the world is moving all around you, all beneath you, all inside you - and you’re floating; floating in midair. And the only thing keeping you from drifting away is the other person’s eyes.
