• Truth be told I miss you

  

  Do you ever wonder what it feels like to be somebody else? What if, just for a day, you could be anyone you wanted? You could see what life the popular school girl lives or learn how hard the pressures of fame really is in Hollywood. I guarantee you at the end of the day you’ll be begging for your life back.

  

  A mistake is only really a mistake if you don’t learn from it.

  

  Just because the road ahead is long is no reason to slow down. Just because there’s much work to be done is no reason to get discouraged. It’s a reason to get started, to grow, to find new ways, to reach within yourself and discover strength, commitment, determination and discipline.

  

  If being different is considered crazy, I’d rather be completely mental.

  

  It’s really painful to say goodbye to someone else that you don’t want to let go, but it’s even more painful to ask someone to stay if you can never make the relationship work out the way it should.

  

  To all boyfriends - if your girlfriend has Taylor Swift lyrics as her status, you’re either doing something very right or something very wrong.

  

  You know that moment you feel when you wake up and realize you have more time to sleep? Or when you accidentally overhear someone say something nice about you? Or when you see someone you likeand your heart races? Or even when you reach a goal you set for yourself? Remember what that feels like next time you’re upset, or sad, or crying. Think about that feeling, and how you can feel great again.

  

  For some reason, every teenager is breaking something - walls, arms, phones, and hearts. So maybe that’s why this is the hardest time of our lives, because we’re never quite whole.

  

  I needed something to go right so badly that I convinced myself it was real. Even though I think, deep down, I knew it wasn’t. I think I knew he was going to leave, I just didn’t want to believe it.

  

  I find it really hard to accept that some things in life will never go back to the way it used to be, and all I can do is think about it all the time, wishing I could relive it. When I close my eyes, I think about all the good times we had, but it’s all in the past and I can never get it back. I loved those days and Imiss them so much. It hurts to know that those memories will always stay in my mind no matter what I do, but I know it’s impossible to go back.

  

  I think the problem is that I’m stuck waiting for him to do something, to make a move, to say theperfect thing. And the problem is that I shouldn’t be that girl, the one who sits and waits for him. I should be independent. I should think clearly and consistently without having my mind jump straight back to him. Falling for someone like that is the hardest thing to do, and the stupidest thing is that the thing standing in my way is fear of losing him, the fear of rejection, the fear that I might lose a friend that means everything to me. I want to be everything to him, but I’m not.

  

  She just smiles because she knows the world will never really understand her, but she doesn’t mindbecause it doesn’t matter because she’s happy.

  

  The truth of the matter is that what’s done is done. No excuses are necessary. You can’t go back andchange anything, so there’s no point in being stuck in the past. Excuses never work, you’re only lying to yourself and lying to yourself never helps anything. Eventually all the lies and the excuses and the alibis fall away and you’re left here, stripped with the truth before your very eyes, whether you’re ready to accept it or not.

  

  An arrow can be shot only by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it’s going to launch you into something great.

  

  After a breakup, certain streets, locations, even times of day are off limits. The city becomes adesert battlefield, loaded with emotional land mines. You have to be very careful where you step or you could be blown to pieces.

  

  It’s not telling you how I feel that scares me, it’s what you’ll say back.

  

  And honestly, I’m not sure if I should keep holding on or let go. It’s stupid to hold on to something that just keeps hurting you, but it’s also stupid to let go of everything you ever wanted.

  

  For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others. For beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness. And for poise, walk with the knowledge that you’re never alone.

  

  The older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.

  

  Some things are true, no matter how hard you might try to block them out. A lie is always a lie, no matter how prettily told. Some doors, once they’re opened, can never be closed again. Just as sometrust, once it’s lost, can never be won back.
