• Just a little west coast in a bed of sunshine

  

  the only one you need in your life is that person who shows you he needs you in his. -Oscar Wilde.

  

  You have to get hurt. That’s how you learn. The strongest people out there, the ones who laugh the hardest with a genuine smile, those are the people who have fought the toughest battles. Because they’ve decided that they’re not going to let anything hold them down, they’re showing the world who’s the boss.

  

  We live and we learn. The only good thing about hitting the bottom is you know you’ve had the worst of the worst and things can only get better from there

  

  So I guess that’s what you do; you wait. You’re always going to feel pain, hurt, and pressure. But over time, your wounds heal, your heart grows and you begin to forget exactly who made you the wreck you are today. Because with time comes strength. Once you get through the pain you can embrace everything life has to offer and pursue that with your head held high

  

  I missed you then but fuck you now. I’m better than ever and happier than before and its because I’m not dealing with your shit anymore.

  

  That’s the problem with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself a drink. If something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget; if something good happens you drink in order to celebrate; and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen.

  

  There are things that I don’t understand: How infinite is space, and who decides your fate. Why everything will dissolve into sand. How to avoid defeat, when truth and fiction meet. why nothing ever turns out the way you plan.

  

  Your male best friend will always love you, admire you and feel that way forever. Boyfriends come and go but he’s always stuck around. He’s your shoulder to cry on and hug when you need it. You enjoy yourself with him and you’re never in an awkward situation. This is a different kind of love, a special kind. Cherish this boy forever. He’ll change your life

  

  What matters now won’t matter soon; the truly important thing is that you are alive, and that you have the capacity to do absolutely anything with this beautiful, crazy coincidence of being on this earth.

   

  

  Go to an airport, stand in front of a person who’s waiting for their flight, and stare at them until they notice you’re there. When they look at you, just say: ‘Don’t get on that flight’ and walk away. You know they’re sitting there going ‘I don’t think I should get on this fucking flight. I think an angel just told me not to get on this flight. Thank you angel wearing jeans!’ – Dane Cook

  

  Because in every relationship there comes a point when the damage is too much and no matter how good it once was, the memories can’t sustain you. You have to save yourself knowing all the while it will hurt like hell, because you can’t keep giving someone everything if you get nothing in return.

  

  Hi, I don’t mean to intrude your quote reading or anything, but I think you’re beautiful.

  

  Do you know what girls want? We want real conversations and real love. We want cute dates together, nothing expensive, the truth is we only want to be with you. We want to hold hands and lie beneath the stars. We wanna be able to say something stupid and not worry about it. We want a guy that will love us for nothing but being us, plain and simple

  

  If there are ice cream trucks in the summer, why are there no hot chocolate trucks in the winter?

  

  The funny thing is, nobody really knows how much anybody else is hurting. We could be standing next to someone who is completely broken and we wouldn’t even know it.

  

  I think that you should give me a second chance, or eleventh or twelfth or wherever we were at. I think that I adore you, every facet of your mind, every awkward flaw in you, so much it scares the hell out of me.

  

  When I picked up the phone I realized that out of the billions of people on the planet, you were the one I wanted to speak to the most. It was like the deepest part of me took control and said what it felt, unafraid of embarrassment or rejection or any of that other stuff that normally leaves me paralyzed with fear. I didn’t think. I just was.

  

  Love is not an equation, it is not a contract, and it is not a happy ending. Love is the slate under the chalk, the ground that buildings rise, and the oxygen in the air. It is the place you come back to, no matter where you’re headed

  

  What’s the worst part? The morning and the time before I go to sleep. I miss your voice being the first and last thing I hear. I miss telling you about my day. I miss making you laugh. I miss the way you could always make me smile. I miss how whenever I was mad, you had the power to calm me down. I miss telling you how I felt about you. I miss you.

  

  I feel like people get lost when they think of happiness as a destination. We’re always thinking that someday we’ll be happy. You know, we’ll get that car or that job or that person in our lives that fixes everything. But happiness is a mood and a condition, it’s not a destination. It’s like being tired or hungry; it’s not permanent, it comes and goes, and that’s okay. And I feel like if people thought of it that way, they’d find happiness a lot more often.

  

  “I just have to say this one thing, and it’s really important that you listen to me. It just doesn’t feel like this thing is ever gonna go away. It’s always there. I can’t get on with my life. The things that we have with each other; I don’t have with any other person, with any other human being. We should be with each other.”

  
  

  Someday someone is going to look at you with a light in their eyes you’ve never seen, they’ll look at you like you’re everything they’ve been looking for their entire lives. Wait for it.

  

  “If he creates expectations for you, and then doesn’t follow through on the little things, he will do the same for big things. Be aware of this and realize he is okay with disappointing you.”
