"I don't need a man to make me happy. I have to make myself happy first."

"Sometimes people only play hard to get because they need to know if the other person's feelings are real."

I live for these moments when you least expect the most wonderful thing in the world to actually happen, and then it does.

What comes is better than before.

Those who criticize our generation forget who raised it.

If I fell in love with you, would you promise to be true and help me understand? Cause I've been in love before and I found that love was more than just holding hands.

The seven things I hate about you:
You're vain, your games, you're insecure. You love me, you like her. You make me laugh, you make me cry, I don't know which side to buy. Your friends, they're jerks, when you act like them, just know it hurts. I wanna be with the one I know. And the seventh thing I hate the most you do;
You make me love you.


Some people thinking it's holding on that makes on strong...
Sometimes, it's letting go.

When you get sick of her, remember who has always been there.

I'm a celebrity in my hood.
You just live in yours.

Optimistic people are here to keep the pessimistic people from wallowing in misery.
Pessimistic people are here to remind the optimistic of a little fact called reality.

What is heartbreak?
Is it lying on the bathroom floor trying your damnedest to breathe, while simultaneously wondering why it went wrong, how you're gonna get up and pretend like everything is alright and what the hell are you going to do about that hole in your chest?
Yeah, I think that's it.

Anyone who ever gave you confidence, you owe them a lot.

I'm livin' life and enjoying every last minute of it.

You have been taught that there is something wrong with you and that you are imperfect.
But there isn't and you're not.

Just do yourself a favor, sweetheart. Just turn around and leave. It may not be what you think you want, but my God, it's what you need.

Look at me now. Tell me what you see. It's a whole new game now.
I'm not the girl I used to be.

Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth "You owe me."

Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky.

"After the funeral, my grandfather hugged me. And I'll never forget what he said. He told me that he had just lost the love of his life, the most important thing in the world to him, and that it hurt like hell. He said he probably wouldn't ever be the same. But then he looked me straight in the eyes; he said that his time with her was something he would never trade, that it was the only thing worth living for. He told me to find that. He told me that once I found that, nothing else would be as important. And he said once I found it, to cherish it and never let it go."

And it's alright. Yeah, I'll be fine. Don't worry about this heart of mine. Just take your love and hit the road. There's nothing you can do or say; you're gonna break my heart anyway. So just leave the pieces when you go.

Hi, I'm the girl of your dreams. Someone said you were looking for me.

When you love someone, they are worth the huge fights. They're worth the million tears. And even sometimes the break ups. They're worth losing friends over. Because when you love someone, they are worth everything.

Not even Kodak could capture our memories.

      What do I want?
I want the awkward glances from across the room. I want passion, love, chaos, mess, insanity. I want to fight and argue and know that I'm wrong, just so we can kiss and make up later. I don't want it to be easy. I want to know that there's no one who could challenge me like you do. I want to feel.


You aren't going to be his first, his last or his only. He's loved before and he will love again. But if he loves you know, what else matters? He's not perfect and neither are you. And the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, cause you to think twice, and admits to being human and making mistakes, hold on to him and give him the most you can. He's not going to quote poetry. He's not going to be thinking about you every moment. But he will give you a part of him that he knows you can break. So, don't hurt him. Don't change him. Don't expect more than he can give you. Try not to over-analyze. Smile when he makes you happy and yell when he makes you mad. And miss him when he's not there.

I'm not even going to get mad anymore. I just have to learn to expect the lowest from the people I thought the highest of.
