It's not always that easy to distinguish the good guys from the bad ones. Sinners can surprise you and the same is true for saints. Why do we try to define people as simply good or evil? Because no one wants to admit that compassion and cruelty can live side by side in one heart, and that anybody is capable of anything.

Before you, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars --points of light and reason....And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything.
- New Moon, Stephenie Meyer

Don't tell me you're not in love, I know you are.
And I know you would do anything to be with him right now.

I feel more comfortable talking to strangers than people I know. I believe this is because chances are, I'll never see them ever again. And I feel like I can say anything I want. They don't know my past or what I've done. They can only judge me on who they are seeing right that second. I'm the person I am now, not then. People I know don't see the difference.

That's the thing about letting old lovers go. You don't stop
loving some of them. There are a couple you love no less than
you ever did. You're not going to try and make it work again,
but if they needed you, you'd drop everything.

Friends are people who'll never give up on you.
They'll bug you when you have a bad day just to make you smile.
They'll give you space when you need it. They won't question you. They'll understand what's wrong just by the look you give them. They aren't afraid to tell you what's on their mind or to be a little crazy with you. They aren't afraid to make a fool out of themselves to make you cheer up in front of their crush. Even if they have liked them forever. They won't lie to you to make you feel good, but they won't tell the truth if they know it'll only hurt you. They'll help you in any way they can just so you can land your perfect guy. No matter what, you'll always have a place on their shoulder in case you need to cry.

Do you remember what the music meant? Life's just complications and frustrations. They disappear when the music starts playing. I found a place where it feels alright. I heard a record, and it opened my eyes. Do you remember when we couldn't put it away? Do you remember what it meant? And nothing else matters when I turn it up loud.

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.
- Audrey Hepburn

"I do have a test today. That wasn't bullshit. It's on European socialism. I mean, really, what's the point? I'm not European. I don't plan on being European. So who cares if they're socialists? They could be fascist anarchists. It still doesn't change the fact that I don't own a car. Not that I condone fascism, or any -ism for that matter. -Ism's in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in The Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off people."
-ferris bueller's day off

I remember one morning getting up at dawn, there was such a sense of possibility. You know that feeling? And I remember thinking to myself, so, this is the beginning of happiness. This is where it starts. And of course there will always be more. It never occurred to me it wasn't the beginning. It was happiness. It was the moment. Right then.
-The Hours

we all need something we consider worth getting up in the morning for. whether it's real or not; healthy or destructive.

Everybody loves a hero. People line up for them, cheer them, scream their names. And years later, they'll tell how they stood in the rain for hours just to get a glimpse of the one who taught them how to hold on a second longer. I believe there's a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady, and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams.

There's a certain kind of pain that can numb you. There's a type of freedom that can tie you down. Sometimes the unexplained can define you, And sometimes the silence is the only sound. In the book of life, the answers aren't in the back.
-Charlie Brown

"You failed. You think I care about that? I do understand. You wanna be really great? Then have the courage to fail big and stick around. Make them wonder why you're still smiling."

I am not going to sit on my ass as the events that affect me unfold to determine the course of my life. I'm going to take a stand. I'm going to defend it. Right or wrong, I'm going to defend it.
- Ferris Bueller's Day Off

The hardest thing about growing up is that you have to do what's best for you,
even if it means breaking someone's heart, including your own.

“If there’s nothing else, there’s always applause. I’ve listened backstage to people applaud; it’s like waves of love coming over the footlights and wrapping you up. Imagine, to know every night that different hundreds of people love you. They smile. Their eyes shine. You’ve pleased them. They want you. You belong. Just that alone is worth anything.”
-All About Eve

I had a pocket full of dreams but I gave them all to you.
Now I think I want them back.
So can you tell me if I'm crazy or confused?
Don't ever change the way you are;
I've never loved anyone more."
- Motion City Soundtrack

You're letting her think you're emotionally available.
You're letting her think she has a chance.
And there is nothing worse in the world then thinking you have a chance,
when you really don't.
- Grey's Anatomy

"If someone were to harm my family or a friend or
someone I love, I would eat them. I might end up in
jail for 500 years, but I would eat them.”
-Johnny Depp

And after awhile, you learn that you don’t need anyone else in order to survive. No one else is ever going to always be there, no matter what they say or what they promise you. You just gotta suck it up, accept it and keep on keepin’ on.

You've always got to remember, rock and roll's never been about giving up. For me,
for a lot of kids, it was a totally positive force, not optimistic all the time but positive.
It was never - never - about surrender.

I've been running around for the past year with absolutely no direction.
I didn't know what I wanted. All I knew was that you were always there,
always in my head, always under my skin.

You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature rise, like a summer with a thousand Julys.
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes. --"You Go To My Head" by Frank Sinatra

at the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. So this thing where we all keep our distance, then pretend not to care about each other its usually a load of bull. So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to. And once we've chosen those people we tend to stick close by no matter how much we hurt them. The people that are still with you at the end of the day, those are the ones worth keeping. And sometimes close can be too close, but sometimes that invasion of personal space is really exactly what you need.

I miss the years that were erased, I miss the way the sunshine would light up your face. I miss all the little things. I never thought they'd mean everything to me.

The nice thing about rain, is that it
always stops. Eventually. - Eeyore

If you just realize what I just realized,
Then we'd be perfect for each other
and will never find another
Just realized what I just realized
we'd never have to wonder if
we missed out on each other now.
Colbie Caillat- Realize

Some people are afraid of what they might find if they try to analyze themselves too much, but you have to crawl into your wounds to discover where your fears are. Once the bleeding starts, the cleansing can begin

& it`s just another hot summer
day and all a girl needs is love,
flipflops, and popsicles. <3

It's not officially summer,
Until you begin forgetting what day of the
Week it is.

In every girl’s life | there’s a boy
she’ll never forget ... and a summer
| * when it all began * |

You smile because you've got a secret,
I smile because I remember.

I never would have guessed,
That he had once loved me.

Even if I said I didn't care a million times over again,
You'd know that I still do.
-Laguna Beach

So tell me,
What hurts more?
Thinking you should hate him,
Or knowing that you don't?

Distance means so little
When someone means so much.

girls never will forget their first true love
no matter how amazing their other ones are
the first guy always is so special and no matter
how it ended you will always love them.

here's to fireworks & fireflies
and sharing looks and making eyes
the kind that lead to laughs and sighs
when spread across a summer sky
what's so wrong with sing-alongs
to melodies from July songs.

I saw you today.
I realized how far apart we've grown.
I know I should ask you how you're doing,
but I can't. I wish I could.
It occurred to me that we're strangers now.
You don't know me anymore,
much less want to.
Everything is so different now.

 Me & you, we're just the 8th wonder of the world.

&& I guess they fell for each other, like they always knew they would.

I've learned that no matter how bad
your heart has been broken,
the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I've thought about you so many times.
I've tried to get over you but each time I fail.
I stay up at night wondering what you are doing. 
& honestly it's starting to scare me.
I'm scared that I'm just wasting my time on
someone who will never love me back

I will forgive but I won't forget.
I hope you know you lost my respect

it's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything.

the hardest guy to get over
is the one you never had

Is it wrong to assume that you missed me?
Because the look in your eyes says that you're dying kiss me
The touch of your lips is tasteful and forgiving
You're a part of the past that I don't mind reliving

he wants to know if i love him. that's all anyone wants from someone else. not love itself but the knowledge that love is there.

I don't know if my heart can take this,
but I really hope it can
because every second with you
makes it worth the risk.
