  • Keep calm and quote on

    There are things you'll never understand, things you'll never be able to comprehend. But I ask that you don't judge me by who you think I am through my words, but by who I've proven myself to be through my actions. I'd like to give you an inside look into my life and who I live with day to day. The people who have been there through everything, and the people who have joined the journey for only a period of time. The activities I'm involved in and the people I've met along the way. The adventures I've gone on, and the struggles I've faced. Be prepared: My story isn't a fairytale, and I've faced many hardships. But my life is perfect through my eyes, and I am so lucky to have what I have.


    I don't care what the world knows about me just so long as my mother never finds out.


    You think that you deserve that pain, but you don’t. I know what it’s like to want to avoid it all, to just need, more than anything, to make it go away—but you can’t. I know that you look in the mirror and feel that it’s all your fault, like there was something you should have done—like in some way, the things that have happened to you were your fault. But, they weren’t. And maybe you look in the mirror and see that, but I look at you and I see someone incredible, who needs to be happy. Whom I need to be happy. You think you deserve to let these things gnaw at your insides, torturing you, but you don’t. You deserve so much better than that. I need you to see that, because you deserve to not walk around with any of this pain. You deserve better, you just have to understand that.


    How do people, like, not curse? How is it possible? There are these gaps in speech where you just have to put a "fuck." I'll tell you who the most admirable people in the world are: newscasters. If that was me, I'd be like, "And the motherfuckers flew the fucking plane right into the Twin Towers." How could you not if you're a human being? Maybe they're not so admirable. Maybe they're robot zombies.


    If you're always looking for reasons not to be with somebody, well you'll always find them. And I guess at some point you should let go and give your heart what it deserves.


    it's actually pretty amazing when you love life. it's something you look forward to and suddenly, who you are and who your friends are doesn't really matter. it's what you do that makes the time special.


    Nothing has turned out as we expected. It never does. Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect. We take what we get and are thankful it's no worse than it is.


    You can't tell someone you love them and then change your mind. That's not how it works. Once you love someone, you always love them. Isn't there a part of you that thinks of him for no reason? They'll always be in the back of your mind. And no matter how much you love someone else, you'll always love them too.


    When you start to know someone, all their physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in their energy, recognize the scent of their skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That’s why you can’t fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and your body but not your heart. And that’s why, when you really connect with a person’s inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant.
