Our Song

I keep listening to our song over and over again, so that eventually I’ll be sick of it, just like I’m sick of you.

Worry

Don’t worry about life, you’re not going to survive it anyway.

Favorite Song

Her favorite song will say more about her than her mouth ever will.

Expecting

You spend so much time expecting the worst, that you don’t even notice the moments when people are loving you.

Me

I’ve been trying to be you for so long, that I forgot what it’s like to be me.

Pain

Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional.

— M. Kathleen Casey

Within Your Means

Anyone who lives within their means, suffers from a serious lack of imagination.




-Oscar Wilde

Memories

The only reason people hold onto memories so tight is because they are the only things that don’t change when everything and everyone else does.

Poetry

If you cannot be a poet, be the poem.





-David Carradine

Nostalgic

People seem to get nostalgic about a lot of things they weren’t so crazy about the first time around.

Nightmares

Sometimes waking up doesn't stop the nightmares.

Think

You can only see as far as you think.

Behind Closed Doors

There’s a little truth behind every just kidding, a little curiosity behind every just wondering, a little knowledge behind every I don’t know, and a little emotion behind every I don’t care.

Lead

Non ducor duco.
(I am not led, I lead)

Sun

L’amor che more il sole e l’altre stelle.
(The love that moves the sun and the other stars)

Smile

The universe is brought back from the brink of destruction every time you smile.

Survive

I must keep running in order to survive, in order to not be loved too much or not enough. Running so I will never have to deal with someone not wanting to keep me.






— Kim Sunee, Trail of Crumbs

Masterpiece

Beauty without intelligence is a masterpiece painted on a napkin.

The World Will Wait

Speak softly, people will listen. Take your time, the world will wait.

Words

He does not need a blade, he can kill me with his words.






— “The Rosetti Letter”

Not Knowing

And sometimes not knowing is the best answer of all.

Vulnurable

Love comes when manipulation stops. When you think more about the other person, than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself truthfully, when you dare to be vulnerable.

Through Your Eyes

I’d really like to know how I look through your eyes.

Art

If it disturbs you, it's art.

Spontaneity

Spontaneity is the quality of being able to do something just because you feel like it at the moment, of trusting your instincts, of taking yourself by surprise and snatching from the clutches of your well-organized routine a bit of unscheduled pleasure.

Remember to Live

Memento vivere.

— (Remember to live).

Exit

Every exit is an entry somewhere else.






— Tom Stoppard

A Million to One

There are millions of people out there, that in the end, it all comes down to one. I still panic sometimes, forget to breath, but I know now that there’s something beautiful in all my imperfections, a beauty which he held up for me to see, a strength that can never be taken away.





-Kirsten Dunst, Crazy/Beautiful

Unkissed Kiss

How do you push aside
Something that just feels so right?
It'll always be perfect
But I didn't get to live it
We found what so many seek
But it was never ours to keep
It'll always be perfect, but we didn't get to live it.





Lyrics from The Ghost Of An Unkissed Kiss by Trembling Blue Stars

Breaking

She smiles through the pain because she knows, even though she’s breaking inside, he’s still watching.




-Unknown

The World You Desire

Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark. In the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all, do not let the hero in your soul perish and leave only frustration for the life you deserved, but never have been able to reach. The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.





Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

Binding

A person is never as quiet or unrestrained as they seem. Or as good, as bad, as vulnerable, as strong, or as sweet. We are thickly layered, page by page, behind simple covers. And love - it is not the book itself, but the binding. It can either rip us apart or hold us together.






— (via outlaws)

Conscience

Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good.

Catch Yourself

You know when you’re sitting on a chair and you lean back so you’re just on two legs then you lean too far and you almost fall over but at the last second you catch yourself? I feel like that all the time.





-Stephen Wright

Feel

Don't tell me what to feel.
All my fucking life people have been telling me I do things wrong.

Invincible

Sometimes when you’re young, you think nothing can hurt you. It’s like being invincible. Your whole life is ahead of you, and you have big plans. Big plans. To find your perfect match. The one that completes you. But as you get older, you realize it’s not always that easy. It’s not until the end of your life that you realize how the plans you made were simply plans. At the end, when you’re looking back instead of forward, you want to believe that you made the most of what life gave you. You want to believe that you’re leaving something good behind. You want it all to have mattered.

Becoming

Change is a funny thing.
We are never quite sure what we are becoming or why.
Then one day we look at ourselves, and wonder who we are and how we got there.

Tears

Sometimes we must get hurt in order to grow, we must fail in order to know.
Sometimes our vision clears only after our eyes are washed away with tears.

A Clean Break

A clean break is easier, you can reset it and it heals and you move on. But if you leave things messy, or things don’t get put right, it just hurts. Forever.

Last Chance

If you thought that was our second chance, you're wrong.
It was our last.

Hard Times

The two hardest things in life are saying hello for the first time and goodbye for the last time.

Logic

Follow your heart, because if you always trust your mind, you’ll always act on logic, and logic doesn’t always lead to happiness.




Art by Chuck Anderson

Trust Yourself

Never ignore a gut feeling but never believe that it's enough.

Honest

Speaking of the truth, I haven't heard it in a while.
I miss it.

Disguise

We become so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others, that at last we are disguised to ourselves.




-Francois Duc De La Rochefoucauld

Regrets

Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets.




Arthur Miller

Let Go

Sometimes we have to let go to appreciate what there is to hold onto.

Blood

If love were cow blood, I'd be a slaughterhouse.



Pictures for Sad Children

Yours

I'm still yours no matter how long this takes.

Save Us

The world will look up and shout "Save us!"
and I'll whisper "No".
