Someday, we will forget the hurt, the reasons we cried, and who caused the pain. We will finally realize that the secret of being free is not revenge, but letting things unfold in their own way and their own time. After all, what matters is not the first, but the last chapter of our lives; which shows how well we ran the race. So smile, laugh, forgive, believe, and love, all over again.



Often, you have to let people go. Everyone who's in your life are meant to be in your journey, but not all of them are meant to stay there.



I miss the seasons, and the comfort of your smile. Sometimes this all feels like a dream. I'm waiting for someone to just wake me up from this life.



I love writing; I love opinions and quotes and expressions. It's so beautiful to know that you're not alone in this messed up world. It's relieving to know that someone else feels the same way you do.

And these last three years, I know they've been hard.. but now it's time to get out of the desert and into the sun, even if it's alone.



Hope is what keeps us going in life. We hope we will be strong, we hope we will pass a test, we hope we will make new friends, we hope we will never lose the old, we hope someone loves us, we hope that love will find us, we hope when all seems lost, we hope when we are hurt, we hope when we play games and we hope when we cry. Never lose your hope, never give up when someone gives up on you.. they may still hope as you do.



"I used to feel so alone in the city. All those gazillions of people and then me, on the outside. Because how do you meet a new person? I was very stumped by this for many years. And then I realized, you just say 'Hi.' They may ignore you. Or you may marry them. And that possibility is worth that one word."



Honestly, I'm scared to get too close to people. It seems that every time I get close to someone, they always have a reason to leave later on. Maybe it's fate teaching me that life goes on, or maybe I just trust the wrong people.



Life's not what you take
it's not about the promises you make
it's not about the friends you might of made or love that is gone
Life is what you give
it's not about the stupid things you did
it's not about the way things could have been
It's about moving on

I'm selfish enough to wanna get better, but I'm backwards enough not to take any steps to get there. And when you realize it's a pattern, and not a phase, it's what you've become and it's what you will stay. That's ballgame. 'Cause I don't got room in my life for anyone else. And I've driven away all the people that could help. And I still don't even know what I need to do to fix myself.



Won't you think I'm pretty when I'm standing top the bright lit city? And I'll take your hand and pick you up, and keep you there so you can see it. So long as you're alive and care, I promise I will take you there. We'll drink and dance the night away. We'll drink and dance the night away.



I'm always wondering if he'll return. Sometimes I pray that he doesn't. And sometimes I hope he will. I wish on falling stars and eyelashes. Absence isn't solid the way death is. It's fluid, like language. And it hurts so much.. so, so much.



I miss the way you loved me.



You asked why I don’t talk to you anymore, and please believe me when I say it’s not that I don’t want to. It’s just that everything I want to say, are the words that should be left unspoken.

“I’m not going to spend my life chasing people. You wanna leave? Fine then, go ahead. ‘Cause I’m done with chasing and caring for people who never had interest in me. Nothing lasts and people change. I’ve learned love is hard and life is strange.”



I’m going to be honest, most of the time when I say “I’m fine,” I say it because if I told you what’s wrong, I feel like you wouldn’t really care anyways.

I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it.



I’ve come to realize that you can’t depend on other people to get what you want. You gotta gather up your nerve, throw yourself out there, and get what you desire. You gotta dream big and run after your goals, because no one is gonna do it for you.



And when you speak of your dreams, I realize that I will envy whoever you give your heart to.



Well you're a long walk from the street, and I'm dying in this summer heat. I hope like hell you're waiting. Everybody's living like they're crazy in love, I'm a dizzy mess and everything is so above me from the floor of any life I lead today.



And I hate the fact that my heart doesn’t grow
And I hate the smell of cigarette smoke
And I hate old movies unless they make me cry
And I hate the jerk that you’ve turned out to be
And I hate the sand that holds back the seas
And I hate the fact that you don’t love me for me



In a way, I need a change from this burnout scene.. another time, another town, another everything. But it's always back to you.

I wish I could fall asleep in someones arms at night, I wish I had someone to kiss, I wish I had someone to hold. I miss the butterflies in my stomach, I miss the feeling I get when I’m with someone I like, I miss someone holding my hand, I miss feeling like someone special truly cares about me, I miss how wonderful it is being held. I miss all of it. I am disappointed that I have felt all of that only a few times, and it only lasted a moment. I want to feel like this every day. I want someone to be there every day for as long as they let me have them. I am so much more lonely than I ever have been. I don’t care how typical or cliche it is that I’m saying this, but every day it only gets worse and worse. I feel like I’m not going to find anyone anytime soon. I know I will find someone eventually but eventually is too far away. It’s just that I am in the current state where I really need someone to be by my side because I can’t do it alone anymore.



I miss waking up in the morning knowing that reality was better than my dreams.

"Nostalgia - It’s a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone. This device isn’t a spaceship, it’s a time machine. It goes backwards, and forwards… it takes us to a place where we ache to go again. It’s not called the wheel, it’s called the carousel. It let’s us travel the way a child travels - around and around, and back home again, to a place where we know are loved."



Isn’t it nice to know that you haven’t yet laughed, all that you’ll laugh? That you haven’t yet met, some of your very best friends? And that you haven’t yet dreamed, all that you’ll manifest? That all bridges will be mended? That all sadness will be healed? And that life never ends? That all of your challenges will be won? That all of your triumphs will be shared? And that the difference you’ll make, has already begun? Well, it is for me, because I also know that if you don’t see these things yet, you will. Could it get any better?



I get up every morning and go to bed every night with this feeling that something is missing, but I don’t know what and I don’t know why. This emptiness is just killing me, and I can’t do anything, not even cry.

Maybe I’m just in love with misery. That I’m so defined by these late nights listening to Death Cab and reading sad quotes that I’m afraid of who I’ll be without them. Happiness is fleeting and I can always count on the familiar feeling of falling apart at night while the world sleeps.



As I gently close my eyes, I hear you whisper softly as we continue our goodbyes. And all I ask is that you'll be there when I return.



I'm going down to sleep on the bottom of the ocean, cause I couldn’t let go when the water hit the setting sun. Passing white daisies, taking turns, all those evenings on the back deck of our first apartment - they meant everything, but the wind just carried them off. And you can’t go back now, just a passing moment gone. Please slow it down, there’s a secret magic past world that you only notice when you’re looking back at it.. and all I wanna do is turn around.



Yeah, the sugar in my cup has lost its flavor, like your touch.



You kiss a hell of a lot better than you listen. Maybe that’s why I can’t get enough of you. It’s true when they say old habits are hard to break, but you’ll always remain nothing but my most tempting mistake.



We can travel to Spain where the rain falls - mainly on the plain, sounds insane, cause it is. We can laugh, we can sing. Have ten kids and give them everything. Hold our cell phones up in the air and just be glad we made it here alive on a spinning ball in the middle of space. I love you from your toes to your face.



I was looking up at the sky. It was intriguing and furtive all in itself. And it reminded me of life and the future. No one ever really know what’s there or what its going to look like tomorrow. You just have to admire it for what it is. Sometimes it’s bright and colorful and sometimes it’s just cloudy and gray. It’s everlasting, and while we may not find that to be true about life, we still wish for it.

We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It’s one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it’s another to think that yours is the only path.



Maybe the truth is, there’s a little bit of loser in all of us. Being happy isn’t having everything in your life be perfect. Maybe it’s about stringing together all the little things.



“Music is something that when hit by it your not hurt but inspired. You wanna laugh, cry, party, and overall be a better person. You live in the moment of the song. It takes you to a totally different place every time. Everything about music is extraordinary.”  - Devin Oliver



I'll always have a sunrise
I'll always have a sunset
I'll always have the ocean
to help deal with these emotions
But all I really want is you
All I really want is you



I'm sinking slowly, so hurry, hold me. Your hand is all I have to keep me hanging on. Please can you tell me, so I can finally see where you go when you're gone.

It still hits me like a bag of bricks each and every night when I wake up to find that you're not here to my right.



You know what you are to me, don't make me say it over and over again.

I still panic sometimes, forget to breathe.. but I know there's something beautiful in all my imperfections. A beauty in which he held out for me to see, a strength that can never be taken away. I remember the day we met.. his smile, his touch. You can be anywhere when your life begins, when the future opens up in front of you. You may not even realize it at first, but it's already happening.



Time is always passing by, but still I have to wonder why you can't come to tell me I'm the one. Summer goes, and we have grown. We have our friends, live on our own. Still, I'm not the girl you want me to be. Say gravity can bend the time, funny, I always liked your mind. But this whole thing is crushing me.



But you'll always be my golden boy, and I'm the summer girl that you enjoy.
Some melodies are best left undone.
I feel the time pass away, but in my songs you will always stay.
I don't need you to tell me I'm the one.
I don't need you to tell me I'm the one.
You'll never know that I was the one.
