song of my moment: come wake me up -- rascal flatts
sorry it's been so long. life's been crazy.
but uhm, yeah. so, here we go.




1.
that's the thing about books. they let you travel without moving your feet.
-The Namesake -- Jhumpa Lahiri-





2.
i have this theory that the more important and intimate the emotion, the fewer the words are required to express it. for instance, in dating, "will you go out with me?" six words. "i really care about you."five words. "you matter to me." four words. "i love you." three words. "marry me." two words. so what's left? what's the one most important word you can ever say to somebody? it's "goodbye." 





3.
it's just another story caught up in another photograph i found. and it seems like another person lived that life, a great many years ago from now.





4.
sometimes we hurt more for what might have been than for what is.
-Carnal Innocence -- Nora Roberts-





5.
the problem was, you couldn't have one without the other. there couldn't be a bad guy unless there was a good guy to create the standard. and there couldn't be a good guy until a bad guy showed just how far off the path he might stray.
-The Tenth Circle -- Jodi Picoult-





6.
i never feared the unexpected until i found myself in this peculiar place, unaware of where i was headed. turns out it was your footsteps i chased. well, i should know so much better than this. but you’ve occupied the center of my universe. 





7.
i'm sorry for a lot of things, but most of all that i never got the chance to tell you how i truly felt about you. i can't tell you it anymore, you know, that would be awkward. so all i'm going to say is thanks, thanks for who you are and what we had.





8.
i know you're upset about him. it's okay, be upset, cry, scream into your pillow til you think you've lost your voice. but looking back on this stupid boy who broke you heart in the future, you'll laugh at him. laugh because he thought he was doing the right thing at the right time. turns out he wasn't because he lost something amazing. and you'll thank him. thank him for making you stronger. but most importantly, you'll appreciate what he did. because without him leaving you, you wouldn't have found the amazing boy you're with now.





9.
perfectionism is not a quest for the best. it's a pursuit for the worst in ourselves, the part of us that tells us we'll never be good enough and tells us we should try again.





10.
i've come to realize that we never stop loving the people who leave. we just stop needing them like we used to.

^^this.^^





11.
how can the only thing that's killing me make me feel so alive?
-She (For Liz) -- Parachute-

^^i am so in love with parachute. mmm, will anderson's voice. <3 so i'm trying to plan going to their concert in august with my friend. hopefully that pans out =D^^

boys are like songs. there are those songs that you instantly love and the songs you hate at first but then learn to like. there are the songs you like at first but then they start getting irritating. there are the songs that you love when you first hear them, but when you truly listen to them you realize they aren't that great after all. and then there are the songs that you may not hear for a while, but when you do hear them, you still know all the words.





13.
there's no point in consistently worrying about everything. what will happen will happen anyways. so breathe, look on the bright side, have some laughs, fall in love, accept what you can't change, and carry on. to actually live is courageous. most people exist, that is all.





14.
it's the loneliest feeling in the world. to find yourself standing up when everyone else is sitting down. to have everybody look at you and say "what's the matter with her?" i know what is feels like. walking down an empty street, listening to the sound of your own footsteps. shutters closed, blinds drawn, doors locked against you and you aren't sure whether you're walking towards something, or if you're just walking away.





15.
we can't just let it pass us by and as i look into the sky, something in the atmosphere is telling me we won't be here for long.





<3 <3 <3
i hope you gals enjoyed.
uhm, i don't know that i have anything else to say, really.
