"Memory can change the shape of a room; it can change the color of a car. And memories can be distorted. They're just an interpretation, they're not a record, and they're irrelevant if you have the facts."

 I'm just a girl...standing in front of a boy....asking him to love her

 If I could give you one thing in life, I would give you the ability to see yourself through my eyes, only then would you realize how special you are to me...

 "I would rather have had one breath of his hair, one kiss from his mouth, one touch of his hand, than eternity without it. One. "

People will forget what you said.
People will forget what you did.
But people will never forget how you made them feel.

When are you going to understand that "normal" is not necessarily a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of courage.

There's a place within our hearts
Where we keep our favorite memories,
The ones that never fail to make us smile ---
And when life becomes too hectic
It's such a special feeling
To close our eyes and reminisce awhile.

"Destiny is something we've invented because we can't stand the fact that everything that happens is accidental. "

"Verbal ability is a highly overrated thing in a guy, and it's our pathetic need for it that gets us into so much trouble."

"Sometimes we must get hurt in order to grow, we must fail in order to know, Sometimes our vision clears only after our eyes are washed away with tears."

"Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups."

The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears...

 'You know that place between asleep? The place where you remember your dreams? That's where I'll be waiting. That's where I'll always love you. "

So many tricks & so many lies
Too many whens & too many whys
Nobody's special, nobody's gifted
I'm just me, warped & twisted

We all need something we consider worth waking up for in the morning. Whether it's real or not, healthy or destructive, tangible or false, is irrelevant, since when you’ve got nothing to hang on to, deception can seem pretty inviting.

Everyone in life is gonna hurt you, you just have to figure out which people are worth the pain.

Nobody is worth your tears, and the one who is won't make you cry.

"There's moments in your life that make you...that set the course for who you're gonna be. Sometimes they're little subtle moments. Sometimes they're not.  Bottom line is even when you see them coming,you're not ready for the big moments. Nobody asks for their life to change. Not really, but it does. So what are we helpless? Puppets? No, the big moments are gonna come. You can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. Thats when you find out who you are"

I know what it's like to want to die. How it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in but you can't.  How you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside. -Susanna: Girl Interrupted

 In your life you meet people. Some you never think about again. Some you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are some you wish you never had to think about again; but you do.~The Wonder Years

Growing up is never easy. You hold on to things that were. You wonder what's to come. I think we knew it was time to let go of what had been, and look ahead to what would be. Other days. New days. Days to come. The thing is, we didn't have to hate each other for getting older. We just had to forgive ourselves. for growing up.~The Wonder Years

I want to hate you...half as much as I hate myself...

 "I wanted everything to stay the same…But feelings fade and people change."

 There's so much I can't say when I look in your eyes, I'm worried you'll reject me, and hurt my foolish pride, Each day this love grows stronger but I could never let you know, There is so much behind my smile, that I could never show, I'd hold you for a lifetime if you would let me in,I'd love you like no other, but you don't understand, Everytime I see you, your holdin' on to her, The pains like a knife, cutin' deep in my soul, So I'll dream of us together of just how it could be and all that you are will remain a silent part of me.

Love is giving someone the ability to destroy you, but trusting them not to.

Its true you dont know what you've got until its gone, but its also true you dont know what you've been missing until it arrives!

There's the people that you've known forever. Who like.. know you in this way... That other people can't, because they've seen you change.. They've LET you change

Sometimes its not the words we say but the s.i.l.e.n.c.e that lies between them
that kills us the most..

 love is when you have a bad day….but then you see the one you love...and everything suddenly seems ok.

When someone is born, someone dies,
Some one laughs, someone cries,
If you love someone let them know,
'cause if they leave tomorrow they will never know

Crying doesn't always mean your sad.....and smiling doesn't always mean your happy

You've always loved her, And now I can see, That the one in your heart, Was never me. All of those times, You held me close, It was her that you needed, And loved the most. It's hard for me, To swallow my pride, Knowing that my love, Was the love you denied. When I see you with her, I force a grin, But really my heart, Is breaking within. My love for you, Is stronger than ever, But I know in my heart, We'll never be together. So I'm letting you go now, With tears in my eyes, I'm telling you my last and final good-byes...

I can’t show my real feelings on the outside
But they’re tearing me up inside
It really sucks feeling this way
No one can help me…not even my friends
I just need my life back together again

 My dreams tell me secrets
My mind tells me lies
My heart screams for help
My eyes only cry

 I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying
Are the best I ever had

I know just how to whisper
I know just how to cry
I know where to find the answers
And I know just how to lie
I know just how to fake it
I know just how to scheme
I know just when to fake the truth
And when to stick to dreams

There’s a girl in the mirror
I wonder who she is
Sometimes I think I know her
Sometimes I wish I did
There’s a story in her eyes
Lullabies and goodbyes
And when she’s looking back at me
I can tell her heart is broken easily
I can’t believe its what I see
That girl in the mirror
The girl in the mirror is me…

Everyday I fight a war against the mirror … I can’t take the person staring back at me…

 I just want a day to go by….When I’m not pretending to be happy

 If you think you know the real me
Always smiling, happy as can be…
Think again its all an act
If you knew me at all
You’d see that my heart has been cracked

I keep silent even when I’m screaming inside
CuZ the things that drive me crazy
I have no choice but to hide…
You got to hurt in order to know
Fall in order to grow
Lose in order to gain
CuZ most of life’s lessons
Are learned in pain…

Smile and act like nothing’s wrong…It’s called putting shit aside and being strong

 If someone asked me what was the last lie I told, I would have to say it was when you asked me if anything was wrong and I said I was okay…

 You know that feeling you get when you're on a roller coaster for the first time? Or you're going too high on a swing? Or you hit some certain bumps on the road and your stomach kinda flips? That's the way I feel when I'm around you. Not all the time, but there's those times when you look at me, or you'll hold me; and I can't even explain it - but that's what I feel

 "Some times the mistakes you regret the most... are the ones you can't take back."

*Its so hard to answer the question whats wrong when nothings right*

Depression, when it’s clinical, is not a metaphor. It runs in families, and it’s known to respond to medication and to counseling. However truly you believe there’s a sickness to existence that can never be cured, if you’re depressed you will sooner or later surrender and say: I just don’t want to feel bad anymore. The shift from depressive realism to tragic realism, from being immobilized by darkness to being sustained by it, thus strangely seems to require believing in the possibility of a cure…

I'm scared to fall in love, scared to fall too fast, because whenever I fall in love, it just never seems to last.

I'm sick and tired of pretending that everything's okay, my tears are starting to show and my smile's fading away.

I would die for you to be happy and sadly enough, sometimes I think it would work

Sometimes you have to let go of something to see if it’s really worth holding onto… And sometimes, when you realize it was worth holding onto… It’s a little too late

Don't ever do something you know is wrong even when it feels so right...You'll only end up having to deal with the consequences...

Its funny...how when u go through the year nothing seems to change... but when u look back everything is different

I keep silent even when I’m screaming inside
Becasue the things that drive me crazy
I have no choice but to hide…

You got to hurt in order to know
Fall in order to grow
Lose in order to gain
Because most of life’s lessons
Are learned in pain…

I can’t show my real feelings on the outside
But they’re tearing me up inside
It really sucks feeling this way
No one can help me…not even my friends
I just need my life back together again

I wanna run from all my pain …And say goodbye to yesterday

You think you know my feelings
My struggles, my fears
But it’s just like a diary
You have no idea…

I’m okay…isn’t that what I’m suppose to say?

I’m alone right now
Just me, myself, and I
I’m looking at what’s left of me
Just waiting to cry…

Just because someone looks like they’re having a bright and sunny day, on the inside they could be screaming CuZ it isn’t all okay…

Lost in words…
Hidden in lies…
Memories forgotten…
Silent goodbyes…

My dreams tell me secrets
My mind tells me lies
My heart screams for help
My eyes only cry

My heart still aches in sadness.
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you,
no one will ever know.

They say memories are golden
Maybe this is true
But I never wanted memories
I only wanted you

He holds me when i start to cry, makes me smile with just his eyes, shares my hopes, dreams and fears, wipes away all my tears i love him without regret, i just havent found him yet

*I'm not supposed to love you, I'm not supposed to care,
I'm not supposed to live my life, wishing you were there.
I'm not supposed to wonder where you are or what you do,
I'm sorry I just can't help myself, I fell in love with you*

You're the reason I live, you're the reason I'd die.
You're the reason I smile, yet break down and cry.
You're the reason I keep going and the reason I fall.
But without you in my life I'm nothing at all

Every night I sit here and cry
Sometimes I don't even know why
When I look into the mirror
I hate what I see
I just don't want to be me

It's funny how you feel so much, but you cannot say a word

Sometimes I want someone to just hold me when I need it. Not a hug, but just hold me, you know? I need someone to actually love me for once in my life

When you finally realize that you didn't matter at all to someone, you begin to wonder if you ever mattered to anyone

To dare to live alone is the rarest courage; since there are many who had rather meet their bitterest enemy in the field, than their own hearts in their closet.

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 it 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 toward something, or if you're just walking away.

I can't take it anymore. Everyone thinks I'm indestructible, the girl who never flinches, the girl who always has a smile on her face, the girl who's gone through nothing, the girl who has no scars and I'm tired of it. I don't want to live behind a wall of laughter and smiles anymore. I want people to understand me, I want people to understand how hard it is to be me and to have to deal with all of this shit and still be expected to be happy. It's not fair. Why can everyone else just fall apart but I have to keep it together?

You remind me of the times when I knew who I was, but still the second hand will catch us like it always does. We'll make the same mistakes. I'll take the fall for you. I hope you need this now, cause I know I still do

And all I need to know is that I'm something you'll be missing. Maybe I should hate you for this. Never really did ever quite get that far. The truth is, you could slit my throat, and with my one last gasping breath, I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt.

I know I should be brave, but I’m just too afraid of all this change, and it's too hard to focus through all this doubt.

I often wonder why I carry all this guilt, when it's you that helped me put up all these walls I've built.

The hardest part of walking away from you is knowing you won't run after me. And knowing that while I meant nothing to you, you meant everything - the world - to me.

I am not the kind of girl who thinks a guy is the answer to everything... I'm just tired of being alone

The saddest part isn't that with each passing day I feel like I need you more, but it's the fact that you don't need me at all...

I’m starting to realize that ‘forever’ is just another one of those fairy tales that mothers tell their children to help them sleep at night. Nothing is forever. Life isn’t, happiness isn’t, love isn’t. Things end and people say goodbye and we have no choice in the matter. All we can do is sit and watch our lives ending one minute at a time.

Sometimes I find myself faking a smile just to get through the day.

I was just starting to fall in love and now I’m in mid-air without anywhere to land and no one to catch me...

I’m not saying I have nothing. I’m not saying I’m gone completely. It’s just sometimes it’s all a bit too much to handle, sometimes I feel like it’s too much. I’m not going to do anything stupid because I know it will get better, it has to right? Otherwise there wouldn’t be anyone who would live past their teenage years. But for now, just for now, it hurts.

And it hurts my soul, because I can't let go, all these walls are caving in, I can't stop my suffering, I hate to show I've lost control, because I keep going right back to the one thing I need to walk away from

Don't be fooled by her smile, inside she’s breaking...

Love doesn't make things nice- it ruins everything. It breaks your heart. It makes a mess. We aren't here to make things perfect. The stars are perfect. Snowflakes are perfect. Not us. Not us! We are here to ruin ourselves, to break our hearts, and to love the wrong people and die. The story books are bullshit.

When we don't allow ourselves to hope, we don't allow ourselves to have purpose. Without purpose, without meaning, life is dark. We have no light within, and we're just living to die.

One day you'll ask me what's more important, my life or yours. And I'll answer... my life... and you'll walk away without ever knowing that you are my life.

One of the reasons people cling to their hate so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone they will be forced to deal with pain.

Never look back, it hurts too much. It drags at your heart ‘til you can’t ever do anything but mourn and cry for the love you can never get back.

A girl and a guy can be just friends, but at one point or another they will fall for each other... Maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late, or maybe, just maybe, forever...

I know it seems like I'm this strong person who can get through anything, but inside I'm fragile. I've had so many things thrown at me, and each one has only made a crack. What I'm afraid of is shattering

Hearts get broken, friendships get ruined, your entire life can fall apart… because of one kiss.

When you kiss me my whole world vanishes.

Then I did the simplest thing in the world. I leaned down... and kissed him. And the world cracked open.

Have you even been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up this whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you, or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like 'maybe we should just be friends' or 'how very perceptive' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.

Suicide is not so much the desire to die, as it is the fear of living.

Give me life, give me pain, give me myself again...

You've made me realize that I've been missing something I never even knew I wanted.

As we grow older, it gets harder to believe. It’s not that we don’t want to but too much has happened and we can’t.

Never forget what they did to you but never let them know you remember.

Don’t fall into the trap of pretending everything is okay when you know it’s not.

There comes a point in your life when you realize that nothing will ever be the same, and you realize that from now on time will be divided into two parts- before this and after this.

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them. Disagree with them. Glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy one, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.

I’m so lost, I’m barely here. I wish I could explain myself but words escape me. It’s too late to save me... You’re too late.
