Life is a theater, so invite your audience carefully- Not everyone is healthy enough to have a from row seat in our lives There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a DISTANCE. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go of or at least minimize your time with draining, negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhere relationships or friendships. Observe the relationship around you. Pay close attention. Which ones live and which ones lean? Which ones encourage and which ones discourage? Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill? When you leave certain people, do you feel better or feel worse? Which ones always have drama or don't really understand, know or appreciate you? The more you see quality, respect, growth, peace of mind, love and truth around you...the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the front row and who should be moved to the balcony of your life. Remember that the people we hang with will have an impact on both our lives and our income. And so, we must be careful to choose the people we hang out with, as well as the information with which we feed our minds. We should not share your dreams with negative people, nor feed them with negative thoughts. Who's in your front row?

People are what we remember about them. What we call life is in the end a patchwork of someone else's recollections. With death, it gets unstitched, and one ends up with random, disjointed fragments.

My friends are always telling me to move on, to give up. but why?? why should i?? They don't see you the way what i see you. They don't look into your eyes and see the world. Why would they understand?? They can't possibly imagine what it means to look at their best friend and see all their hopes and dreams come true. I wish for once, just once, they could walk a mile in my shoes. But they wouldn't need to walk that far, they would just take one step and suddenly, they would take back every bit of "getting over you" advise they'd ever given me and realize you are my life, you were meant for me and moving on or giving up is simply not an option

No more crying, I can't cry anymore. Don't take my hand this time. Just go please, and don't look back, because I know if you did, I'd come running back to you...and I can't do that.

I'm glad you're happy. I can't say that I'm completely happy for you but I guess that's just a part of life, I'll always have feelings for you but the rest of the world is forcing me to move on.

Love has no age limit. Its not like alcohol or gambling. You dont have to be 21 to love..I mean when I was 3, I loved my teddy bear. The only difference now is my teddy bear is about 5'11, with brown hair and brown eyes. He can walk, talk, and this teddy bear loves me back.

People don't fall in love with what's right in front of them. People want the dream- the more unattainable, the more attractive

When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love

I love you. I love every little thing about you- your sexy smile, the sound of your voice, the magic in your eyes. I love your gentle touch and the warmth I feel at your side... I love dreaming about you. I love discovering you and letting go with you. I love each and every once a lifetime moment I share with you... today, tomorrow, forever

See, with girls, there are two kinds of guys. The first kind of guy, is the kind of guy that you don't stare at or give any thought to. You don't dream about him, or use him as the basis for all your wishes. But if he ever did ask you out, you know that you could learn to love him. You could grow to love him with time. The second kind of guy, is that guy you're always aching for, the one you're always thinking about. He's the kind of guy that makes your knees go weak, and leaves you breathless and knocks you off your feet. The kind you stare at, and scribble his name and yours all over your notebook. And you- you're the second kind of guy

Sometimes I think that if I wasn't so good at pretending to be, I'd be better at actually being happy

Don't look at me. Don't say my name, or even think about me; and don't even try to speak to me. What gives you the right? Just look at me now and see what you have caused, and when she dumps you, or you just can't take it anymore, don't ever ask yourself why it's happening to you. Just look back at what you have done to me, and that will be your answer

It's the one who always loves and is always loved that knows the joy, but it's the one that always loves but never is loved that always feels the pain

I've learned that there are people that truly love you, but they just don't know how to show it

The man who injures a total stranger is guilty of a crime, but there's no word to describe the man who wantingly injures his friends

You say you know what it's like... you say you know what it feels like to be alone... while you are in his arms... you tell me it's all right and that it will happen someday... while he is kissing you goodnight... I know what it feels like to be alone, I know what it's like to not have anyone out there to care about you... I know what it's like to be able to hear the echo of your own voice inside your empty heart... don't be nice and tell me that one day my prince charming will come... don't be nice and tell me it will happen someday... because it won't... I know it... nothing good will ever come to me... no one will ever be there for me like they are there for everyone else... because God made a mistake... and forgot to put my other half on earth

There is so much loneliness in me... I have moved on... from boys that don't like me... to guys that hate me forever... I have also moved on from an occasional heart ache to serious pain... physical pain... it hurts so deep down inside, and I try to tell people... but no one cares... there is so much sadness in my heart; it is going to explode with tears

"...her sadness did not have that. It dripped slowly into her life without her noticing it, at least, not noticing it until it consumed her fully and smothered her with darkness."

"I have wasted thousands and thousands of kisses on you, kisses that I thought were special because of your lips and your smile and all your color and life. I used to think that was the real you, when you smiled. But now I know you don't mean any of it. You just save it for all your songs. Shame on me for kissing you with my eyes closed too tight."
~That Thing You Do

"You wanted a kiss. Is that what you want? Are you prepared, for everything that comes with that kiss? Because it doesn't, just end with a fade out. There are repercussions. Hearts get broken. Friendships get ruined. Your entire life could fall apart because of one kiss. That's what you have to look forward to. Do yourself a big favor... don't rush it."
~Dawson's Creek

Everything I do fails... I wish on stars, wish on birthday candles, put you on my Christmas list, throw coins in fountains and make a wish, wish at 11:11 . Not to mention, love you, dream about you, and think about you every moment I can. Yet, nothing works. And as much as I want to lose hope in all these things, I can't because if

I stop believing then they really won't ever come true

I may not be perfectly beautiful. I may not be perfectly wise. I may not be perfectly obedient, but I am perfectly me

If I had my life to live over again, next time I'd give you more kisses and hold you closer. I'd memorize everything you ever said to me and carry it in my heart like a poem. If I had my life to live over again, next time I'd find you sooner so I could love you longer and better and truer

I love to shop, look at things that I know I can't have. I guess that's why I like looking at you

Tell me what you feel -- because I can handle being friends, but I can't handle being led on

There would come a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person started hating us but because we found out that they'd be happier if we let them go

I look around and all I see is couples... skinny blonde with some tall dark muscular guy... holding her tight... stealing kisses when they think no one is watching... when is it my turn? God, how I wish I could be her... God, how I would give my everything to be her... just for one day... just for one hour... one-second... just for one kiss... just to be held... just to know that someone is there... to know that someone cares... to know that someone could care about me as much as they do about all the skinny blondes

Love is a hoax. Our emotions are all provoked by chemical reactions. It creates this euphoria that makes you stupid. It's all biochemistry."
~Down to You

"All romantics are simply addicts."

"Look at that park down there. Just think how many loves lost and found in it. How many first kisses kissed, how many frisbees lost. Just remember, that's your park friend. You've got your whole life to walk through it."
~Down to You

Biologists have determined that, technically speaking, the bumble bee cannot fly. Fortunately, the bumble bee does not believe in biologists. Dont allow others to impose limitations on you

Real love hurts; real love makes you totally vulnerable and open; real love will take you far beyond yourself; therefore, real love will devastate you. If love does not shatter you, you do not know love

John: 'I don't believe in love.'
Chris: 'So what are you looking for?'
John: 'Love.'
Chris: 'You just said you didn't believe in love.'
John: 'Well I don't believe in Unicorns either, but it
would still be cool to have one...'
~John Medinger and Chris Coffen

The knowledge that can destroy a person is knowing that the one you love cannot love you back

"You learn to love the pain you feel."
~Garbage

"I quit, I give up, nothing's good enough for anybody else, it seems... When I'm all alone it's the best way to be. When I'm by myself nobody else can say goodbye. Everything is temporary anyway."
~Edie Brickell, Friends

"I don't use drugs, my dreams are frightening enough."
~Mauritis Cornelius Escher

"I shout, but no one hears. I cry, but no one listens. I listen, but no one speaks. I question, but no one answers. You call; I follow. You cry; I help. I question, but you don't answer. I search, but you're not there. Still, I keep listening, hearing and hoping for someone to just understand."
~Daniela Gallo

"Everybody's searching for a hero. People need someone to look up to. I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs... A lonely place to be, and so I learned to depend on me.
~Antoine de Saint-Exupery

"I may only be one person, but I can be one person who makes a difference."
~The Land, Epcot Center

Isn't it funny how a heart is shaped like two upside-down teardrops?

Me -- I'm a hopeless romantic. I believe in wishing on stars, soulmates, and love that never ends. But yet, sometimes I feel like the only single person alive. I feel so alone. No matter what I try to do, I'm left in solitude. Maybe I try too hard. Maybe I really am hopeless

It's funny, most people can be around someone and then gradually begin to love them and never know exactly when it happened

"I felt like Cinderella at the ball, but my prince charming never showed up."
~Louise Sybing

True friends are the people who are there for you unconditionally. They are the people who never question you and support you no matter what the circumstances are. They are the people worth living for

It's funny how you can be mad at someone one moment and want to hug them the next

Don't run when I push you away. It's then that I need you the most

When love is supressed, hate takes it's place

I'd rather go blind than watch you walk away from me

The saddest thing is to see me in love with you after everything you put me through

And when you cry I'll be right there to tell you, you were never anything less that beautiful

And when someone is drifting away from you, you feel it screaming inside your chest. Your heart feels numb and ignorant because the truest of love isn't easy

All my life I thought I needed the perfect setting, the perfect opportunity, and the perfect way to tell someone I love them... But suddenly I realized... I don't need any of that... Because I know it will be perfect... as long as I am saying it to you

I used to have this self-confidence that no one could break - I used to be a fighter and always pushed things to the limit, but now, so much has changed and my life is just a blur I don't care about the things I used to love or the things I used to hate. Now I'm nothing

They say I'm a bitch and that I'm moody, but what they don't really see is that I'm just a wall protecting myself from getting hurt

You think you know me. You think you have me all figured out, but how can you know me if I don't know me?

"I did not know I loved you until I heard myself telling so, for one instance I thought, 'Good God, what have I said?' and then I knew it was true."
~Bertrand Russell

Broken hearts can heal, broken friendships can't

"Love is when thoughts of but one man fill your heart, when he means more than life to you, when you know you would do anything for him and shall die if he is taken from you. Desire is when you ache to see him and touch him, when he causes your body to burn and tremble. Desire does not demand love before it can ensnare you, but desire with love creates a powerful bond."
~Janelle Taylor

A lot of people get flipped out if you're quiet. They say stuff like, 'What are you thinking?' And if they don't start interrogating you, they start talking, going on and on about stuff that's totally irrelevant, and the silence gets so big and loud that it's scary

If you're going to walk, walk tall

Don't ever let anyone make you believe that you don't deserve what you want

When all the world is telling you 'no', tell yourself 'yes' ten times louder

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself

"All the best love stories have one thing in common, you have to go against the odds to get there."
~Party of Five

When you talk about tomorrow, I'm not sure about today. When wou tell me that you love me, what am I supposed to say? Sometimes I don't feel the same way as wou feel, words like forever, they scare the shit out of me

When I see him... his smile, his frown, those eyes, just everything about him... I end up loving him just as much as I did before I stopped. I guess once you love someone, and admit it... there's no crossing back. It's a line that will forever stay embedded deep within your heart. Because once you have loved that someone, it doesn't go away... you're forced to care



v"When is the age where even the moment we go from being kids to being... something else? I mean so much can happen in a year. People say that we're growing up too fast today. Sometimes adults make it sound like it's our fault, or at least our choice. But how can we not? We feel invisible, and we know so much. One thing I do know is that we're so eager to lose our innocence and I wonder if one day we'll look back and wish we hadn't."
~Young Americans

When two people first start out they say a lot of things, and make a lot of promises to each other, but somewhere down the line, the sweet things they once said become bitter words, and the promises they swore in their hearts they would keep, are broken

I'm still young and I wanna stay that way because growing up won't make everything ok

I'm larger than life and if you look at me right there's no doubt you'll assume I'm worth the fight. I'm constantly drunk be it wine or writing and I dream without ever sleeping. I don't just exist, I float. I drift on the breeze and many a time you'll fine me entertaining no one but smiling as if the world's my party which it is it's all a matter of perspective, the angle you live at. I'm a ninety degree circle spinning in an orbit of music, mayhem and magic and nothing beats that

"I've found out why people laugh. They laugh because it hurts so much... because it's the only thing that'll make it stop hurting."
~Robert Heinlin

"And, it doesn't mean love's wrong just because your feeling low. And, it doesn't mean the love's gone 'cause you feel like you want to let go."
~Hanson

"I do not want to make reasons for you to stay, only reasons for you to return."
~Jonivan

Optimists say the glass is 1/2 full. Pessimists say the glass is 1/2 empty. I just think we should pour it out on the table and make a mess
