 “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.

i just wanna see you smile

I really enjoy spending time with you, even if we're just going to be
 sitting around and talking about nothing.

 There are a million things I love about you, like your nose or the way you 
smile, the way you look me in the eye, too. 

And I just get the greatest feeling when I make you laugh. I feel as if my
 company makes you happy, and that's

what I wish for you. For you to be happy. And when I see you laugh at my
 clumsy ways, it just makes me want to spend 

the rest of my life with you so I can see a smile on your face.

who died & made you king of anything.

there's a guy out there who's going to be really
happy that you didn't get back together
with your crappy ex-boyfriend.

At this age, the worst thing you can do to yourself is fall for someone harder than they fall for you.

take time to listen to your heart. sometimes you need not to ask yourself who you really love most, but ask yourself who really makes you happy and who makes you feel loved

There are two ways to get everyone to hate you.

Either do something really wrong, or do something really right.

it's nice to know that even when lots of girls are crazy about you, you can still smile at me.

I hope I see the good in you come back again, I just believe in you.

In love, the past is not important, but the present. Experience is more relevant than the pain you went through. The only thing that will make it stronger is forgiveness and not the retorting of sin.

Why did I do it? I guess because I was sick of you running in and out of my life without some kind of consequence. So here is your close line babe, I hope the fall hurts like hell.

don’t ask yourself what the world needs;
ask yourself what makes you come alive.
and then go and do that…
because what the world needs is people who are alive.

You call me up late, I never pick up. You ain't my man, you're only my jump.

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 and you have to face the fact that i'll no longer be there every single time you need me. the truth is what it is and that is i don't have anymore respect for you as an individual now. you're just another face in the crowd

Some of the most interesting friendships are between people who are attracted to each other, but can't act on it.

so when i come out alive from all of this,

i'll look back and realize you've changed me.

and that's something i can thank you for one day.

You are going to lose people in your life. & I realize that no matter how much time you spent with them, or how much you appreciated them and told them so, it will never seem like it was enough.

Everyone in the world could be screaming at me, telling me that I could do better and I wouldn't care. I would stick my middle finger high in the air while my other hand was holding yours.

And I’d be lying if I told you I never knew it was coming. But I’m tired of lying and I’m sick of trying. We both know it wasn’t worth it, I need to hear it, and you need to say it.

You keep telling me to be glad for what we had while we had it. That the brightest flame burns quickest. Which means you saw us as a candle. And I saw us as the sun.

Don't believe him if he comes back and says he misses you. Remember, he chose not to be with you.

 I don't know how much longer I can take this. You run through my mind like there's no tomorrow, I don't know when there's a second when I'm not thinking about you. it's like your haunting me or something and the worst part is you're not even mine

Just when you think things

Can't get any worse, they do.

But I've learned that life is

Like an hourglass.

Sooner or later everything hits rock bottomBut all you have to do is be patient

And wait for someone to turn it all around

Do you ever sit and think.. what if? What if you never said the first hello? What if our paths never crossed? What if you kept your mouth shut and just let things pass, or what if you would have said just one more thing? What if you had five more minutes? What if you could turn back time or make it all just stand still? What if you could say I love you one more time or NEVER had said it at all? Where would your life be?

You can’t do this. You can’t put one relationship on hold for another. It’s like call waiting… you leave one person on hold long enough, and they are gonna hang up.

it's important to scare yourself, to do things you don't think you're capable of doing

 I just hope one day you see me, and your heart stops, and you realize what you could’ve had this whole time.

Don't ever think I chose to leave because I wanted to; I didn't. It was more like I needed to. We were killing each other.

Some people can just move on, you know. They mourn and cry and then they're done with it, or at least appear to be. But to me, I don't know. I didn't want to fix it; I didn't want to forget it. It wasn't something that was broken, it was just something that happened. And I'm finding ways, every day, of working around it. I'm respecting and remembering it, but I'm getting along with my life at the same time.

No smile is more beautiful than the one
that has struggled through the tears.

mostly, the ones who leave the biggest impact on

your lives, stay for the shortest time.

just because i'm here for you all the time

doesn't mean you can take me for granted.

music speaks what cannot be expressed…

soothes the mind and gives it rest,

heals the heart and makes it whole,

flows from heaven to the soul.

You could lose your pride, lose your patience, lose your mind. But whatever you do, don't lose hope.

Throw away your problems and smile because honey, this is the only life you've got and your problems won't matter when you're dead

The key to change... is to let go of fear.

Most of the time, they say that you are fortunate if there is someone beside you, holding your hands, kissing you, hugging you and loving you. But not all people in a relationship are happy. Behind those displays of affection are pain, tears, blame and fears, coldness, loneliness and confusions, depressions. Singles are luckier. They have only themselves to worry about. Less expense, less stress, less mess

Life will knock you down more times than you can possibly imagine. Don’t knock yourself down.

Contrary to what the cynics say, distance is not for the fearful. It's for the bold. It's for those willing to spend a lot of time alone in exchange for a little time with the one they love. It's for those knowing a good thing when they see it. Even if they don't see it nearly enough.

Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something, and has lost something.

We're all a little weird, and when we find those people whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness and call them our best friends.

I guess the reason I think I'm nothing is because no one's ever fought for me. I believe if I was truly worth it, that somewhere along this road, someone would've fought for me to stay, but instead, I always wound up walking away.

You're an asshole. But I think I'm getting used to you. I like that fact that you talk incessantly. I got a thing for assholes who tell good stories. I think that drinking is the only think you can do right. You're gonnaself-destruct. I think that's what I like.

I was just saying that sometimes our relationship seems so simple and easy. But no matter what, it just turns into a big mess. And there are days that I want to dive into that mess, but then, other days, I can’t help but wonder if maybe we’re just two people who don’t work as a couple. -Brooke Davis; One Tree Hill.

You can stay up all night and still not count all the ways to lose the people you love -My Sisters Keepe

Serious relationships are not something anyone should really be actively looking for because sometimes, the best relationships happen only by accident. I was beginning to see, though, that the unknown wasn’t always the greatest thing to fear. The people who know you best can be riskier, the words they say and the things they think have the potential to be not only scary but true, as well.

She said, "Do you know what it's like to lose your other half? To be so sad that, when you finally have a reason to smile, it doesn't feel natural anymore?" 

So no, you wait for a spark, you know it will turn you on. He's gonna make you feel the way you want to feel. When he starts to lie, when he makes you cry, you know I'll be there. My day will come. I know someday I'll be the only one. 

The details are the life of it. I insist, say everything on your mind. Don't hold back. Don't analyse or anything as you go along. Say it out. 

I'm not the type of girl that would just get up & leave you, 'cause unlike them other girls; baby, I need you. 

But you love someone else. But you want to be with someone else. & I can't believehow dumb I sound. & I will put my face over the ground & love you. 

Does it hurt when you see how I've done without you? Thought that I couldn't belong. Never thought that you could be so cruel. All you need is some friends, won't be by yourself. Let's go round. 

Goodbye is the absolute hardest thing to say because you have to walk away with just a memory; & memories, they fade.
