"after a while you learn that what you really are is all the experiences and all the thoughts you've ever had and all the people who have touched your life, no matter how briefly."
"It's the friend that stuck by you through everything that matters, the one that you have known your whole life, or just a year and yet you feel connected to them in a completely different way then anyone else around you. At most times, they feel like your family then your real one. They understand that the world can be a tough place, and they let you cry when bad things happen but they always manage to make you smile again. It's the friend that you call at 5am because you fought with some stupid boy and she'll help you plot revenge against him even though she does not even know him. They give you that extra energy to smile because you know that there right beside you whenever you need them."
"You look at where you're going and where you are and it never makes sense, but then you look back at where you've been and a pattern seems to emerge. And if you project forward from that pattern, then sometimes you can come up with something."
"You know, sometimes you can have a whole lifetime in a day and never realize that this is as beautiful as life gets."
"There are some days when you feel so lucky just to be where you are, and when you are, and who you are and you can't help but wonder if everyone else feels as lucky as you do." - Young Americans
I guess it's gonna have to hurt,
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
And let go of some things I've loved,
To get to the other side,
I guess it's gonna break me down,
Like falling when you try to fly,
It's sad, but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life,
Starts with goodbye
-Carrie Underwood
"Do you ever wonder how long it takes to change your life? What measure of time is enough to be life altering? Is it four years like high school? One year? An eight week rock tour? Can your life change in a month, or a week, or a single day? We're always in a hurray to grow up, to go places, to get ahead. And when you're young, one hour can change everything."-One Tree Hill
You take a snapshot of your life the last time you leave someplace, and, I don't know, it's dumb, but you think it's never gonna change. -Party of Five
We're conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments. But great moments often catch us unaware-- beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.
If you're feeling frightened about what comes next, don't be. Embrace the uncertainty. Allow it to lead you places. Be brave as it challenges you to exercise both your heart and your mind as you create your own path towards happiness, don't waste time with regret. Spin wildly into your next action. Enjoy the present, each moment, as it comes; because you'll never get another one quite like it. And if you should ever look up and find yourself lost, simply take a breath and start over. Retrace your steps and go back to the purest place in your heart... where your hope lives. You'll find your way again. - Gilmore girls
I hope when people look back on high school they think those two were always with each other. Because that is how I remember it. Me and you. -Hollie Seals
A good friend knows all your best stories, a best friend has lived them with you.
We might be laughing a bit too loud.
I'm sorry.
It's just that we're best friends
and we can't help it.
You're the peanut to my butter. You're the star to my burst. You're the M to my M&M's. You're the pop to my tart. You're the milky to my way. You're the fruit to my loop. You're the milk to my duds. You're the cocoa to my puffs. You're the ice to my cream but most important you're the best to my friend.
You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. After all, what's a life anyway? We're born, we live, we die. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to life up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that. -Charlotte's Web
You spend 12 years of your life trying to learn how to live, but everytime you try to live in those 12 years you're wrong, Then everyone you've grown to love is taken away and scattered. That's what they should teach you, how to say goodbye
Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets,
so love the people who treat you right,
forget about the ones who don't
& believe that everything happens for a reason.
If you get a chance, take it.
If it changes your life, then let it.
Nobody said it'd be easy they just
promised that it'd be worth it
It was one of those, can't breathe-heart stuck in your throat-weak
in the knees-butterflies crashing against your rib cage-collapse
to the floor swooning, "oh my god, is this really happening?!" moments
To let go isn't to forget, not think about, or ignore. It doesn't leave feelings of anger, jealousy, or regret. Letting go isn't winning, nor is it losing. It's not about pride. It's not obsessing about or dwelling on the past. It isn't about loss and it's not defeat. To let go is to cherish memories but overcome them. Letting go is having the courage to accept change, the strength to keep moving. Letting go is growing up.
When we were little, life worked perfectly. No matter what happened, everything turned out alright in the end. Scraped knees, canceled play dates, dropped ice cream cones-- we would cry for a short time, but by the end of the day, everything would be perfect. And now as we've grown older, we've lost the faith as we stumble through each day, crying over broken hearts, lost friendships, and lost dreams. It seems like life and perfection have turned their backs on us, but really its just that we've grown up. As children we didn't pay attention to such details about our daily lives, but now we are more aware, and little details seem to be amplifying our pain. But just remember that when we were younger, life was hard too, but we had faith in perfection because we could look past faults. So don't lose your faith. Learn to know that each day will pass, each heartache will be mended, and everything will be perfect in the end. Just keep your faith.
"It's the people who hug you and never want to let go, the people who you haven't seen for months, but nothing has changed at all, the people who give to you more than you give to them, the people that truly understand who you are, the people who you cry about, the people who you live for, the people in your photographs that have light genuinely shining through their eyes and their smile, the people that take your breath away."
"A true friend won't question your motives, will hug you just because they can sense that you need it, will never fall for your famous false smile that fools everyone else, will let you listen to your favorite song over and over in the car even when they don't like the song, will tell you the truth even when you'd rather not hear it, and will never leave your side, in good times or in bad ones, now don't tell me you think you find people that are that special to your life everyday."
The journey lasted 8 months. Sometimes I traveled alone. Sometimes there were others that took the wheel and took my heart. But when the destination was reached, it wasn’t me who had arrived. It wasn’t me at all.-One Tree Hill
"Most of our life is a series of images. They pass us by like towns on the highway, but sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens and we know that this instant is more than a fleeding moment, we know that this moment, every part of it, will live on forever" – Lucas, One Tree Hill
"IDA Scott Taylor wrote: 'Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone, and do not be troubled about the future, for it has yet to come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.'"-One Tree Hill
There are moments in our lives where we find ourselves at a crossroads. Afraid, confused, without a roadmap. The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days. Of course, when faced with the unknown, most of us choose to turn around and go back. But once in a while, people push on to something better, something found just beyond the pain of going it alone, and just beyond the bravery and courage it takes to let someone in, or give someone a second chance, something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream… because it's only when you're tested, that you discover who you are, that you discover who you can be. The person you can be does exist, beyond the hard work, faith, belief, and beyond the heartache, and fear of what lies ahead… - One Tree Hill
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right...I hope you have the time of your life-Green Day
“Pictures fade away but memory is forever”
~New Found Glory
Growing up.
The calamities of adolescence.
Perpetual obstacles
hindering our ability to enjoy
the simple things in life.
Incessantly surrounded by drama,
"he-said, she-said" gossip,
petty arguments,
and the tragic dilemmas
of teenage life.
They say these are the best years of our lives.
Stressful schoolwork,
the frustration and pressure
to do your best,
always give 110%.
Imperative decisions
and choices that are crucial
towards your future,
and the rest of your life
are essentially necessary
to be made
Right now.
The overwhelming distress
and distraught feelings
are overpowering.
They say these are the best years of our lives.
and I couldn't agree more.
For nothing I'd trade
the memories made.
The laughter and cheer
throughout all of the years
outweighs everything else
Making it all worthwhile.
Does it really have to end?
"Beginnings are scary, endings are usually sad; it's what you do in between that counts the most."
"Life isn't about keeping score.
It's not about how many people call you and it's not about who you've dated, are dating, or haven't dated at all.
It isn't about who you've kissed, what sport you play, or which guy or girl likes you.
It's not about your shoes or your hair or the color of your skin or where you live or go to school. In fact, it's not about grades, money, clothes, or colleges that accept you or not.
Life isn't about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone, and it's not about how accepted or unaccepted you are.
Life just isn't about that.
But life is about who you love and who you hurt.
It's about how you feel about yourself.
It's about trust, happiness, and compassion.
It's about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love.
Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance, and building confidence.
It's about what you say and what you mean.
It's about seeing people for who they are and not what they have.
Most of all, it is about choosing to use your life to touch someone else's in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise.
These choices are what life's about."
"We did not change as we grew older; we just became more clearly ourselves."
who matter don't mind." ~Dr. Seuss
"There is a good reason they call these ceremonies 'commencement exercises' Graduation is not the end; it's the beginning."~
"The fireworks begin today. Each diploma is a lighted match, each one of you is a fuse."
"This life has been a test. If it had been an actual life, you would have received actual instructions on where to go and what to do." My-So-Called Life
"Beginnings are scary, endings are usually sad but it's whats in the middle that counts. so, when you find youself at a beginning, give hope a chance to float up...it will"
"For some moments in life... there are no words"
"Two roads diverged in a wood and I, I took the one less traveled, and that has made all the difference"
