"The ties that binds us are sometimes impossible to explain. They connect us even after it seems like the ties should be broken. Some bonds defy distance and time and logic; Because some ties are simply... meant to be." -Grey's Anatomy

And unless you marry your high school sweetheart, there is usually a not-so-glorious back story. There are people and places and events that lead you to your final relationship, people and places and events you'd prefer to forget or at least gloss over. In the end, you can slap a pretty label on it-- like serendipity or fate. Or you can believe that it's just the random way life unfolds. -Emily Giffin

And it felt complicated in the way that all breakups feel complicated when you're embroiled in them. While in cruel actuality, most are really quite simple. And it goes something like this: one person falls out of love-- or simply realizes that he was never really in love in the first place, wishing he could take back those words, that promise from the heart.

"The trick in life isn't getting what you want, it's wanting it after you get it." -Love Affair

"You know how every now and then, you have a moment where your whole life stretches out ahead of you like a forked road, and even as you choose one gritty path, you've got your eye on the other the whole time, certain that you're making a mistake?" -Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper

you dont have to live forever
you just have to live

you dont have to live forever
you just have to live

When you run from something it only stays with you longer.
If you fight something, it only makes you stronger.

Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted

There is only one happiness in life -- to love and to be loved.

Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end

I love you, not only for what you are, But for what I am when I am with you.

I'm here not because I am supposd to be here or because I'm trapped here, but because I'd rather be with you than anywhere else in the world.

Just a girl with her ipod too loud.
Her best friend standing by her side.
and the love of her life loving someone else.

it's funny how when i found him,
he was everything i wanted and
nothing i've been looking for.

You only live once, so do everything twice.

I like that you ramble when you’re nervous. I like that I know that you ramble when you’re nervous. I like that I still make you nervous.

"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it.
But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget."
 - Jessica ; age 8

She has future plans and dreams at night.
When they tell her life is hard, she says,
"That's alright."

Who are you if you lose your favorite person? Can you lose your favorite person without losing yourself?

No one deserves to be treated that way. So even
if you love with your entire heart, every fibre of
your being, with so much passion that it hurts to
think about it, you need to forget what you want
and remember what you deserve.

I don't believe that life is supposed to make you feel good,
or make you feel miserable either. Life is just supposed to
make you feel.

Sometimes you just have to let them win,
because losing the argument is easier than losing them.

Sometimes, people are beautiful.
Not in looks.
Not in what they say.
Just in what they are.

She has future plans and dreams at night.
When they tell her life is hard, she says,
"That's alright."

don't waste your time with people
who don't make you feel alive

"If theres one thing i believe, its that i dont know anything and anything can happen"

too many times we put our hearts on
the line, hoping that this it`s going to be
different. too many times we play the
waiting game, because we are too
afraid of making decisions.

don`t pray when it rains if
you don`t pray when it shines.

you can`t depend on other people
for what you want, and you can`t
be scared to go out there and get it.
you have to dream hard, wish big,
and chase after your goals, because
no one else is going to do it for you.
and even if things don`t work out,
you`ll always be able to say you tried.

time you enjoy wasting. was not wasted- john lennon

Summer romances begin for all kinds of reasons, but when all is said and done, they have one thing in common. They’re shooting stars, a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, fleeting glimpse of eternity, and in a flash they’re gone.

This thing is breaking down we almost never speak
I don’t feel welcome anymore, baby what happened please tell me
Cause one second it was perfect and now you’re half way out the door

Unless it's mad, passionate, extraordinary love - it's a waste of time. There are too many mediocre things in life,
and love shouldn't be one of them.

Don't wonder why people go crazy, wonder why they don't. In the face of what we can lose in a day, in an instant, wonder what the hell it is that makes us hold it together.
   ; Grey's Anatomy

Into your heart I'll beat again ; sweet like candy to my soul. Sweet you rock, and sweet you roll. Lost for you ; I'm so lost for you..
   ; Dave Matthews Band

It's only after we've lost everything, that we're free to do anything.

And I found out that love was more than just holding hands..
   ; The Beatles

You may not end up where you thought you'd be, but you always end up where you're meant to be.*

The best love is the kind that awakens the soul, that makes us reach for more, that plants fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give to you forever.
   ; The Notebook

If there's just one piece of advice i can give you, its this:
When there’s something you really want, fight for it.
Don't give up no matter how hopeless it seems.
And when you've lost hope, ask yourself if,
10 years from now, you're going to wish you gave it just
one more shot because the best things in life..
they don't come free. <3

When you talk, do not say harmful things,
but say what people need-
words that will help others become stronger.
  ; Ephesians 4:29

It's a funny thing about coming home. Looks the same, smells the same, feels the same ; you'll realize what's changed is you.
   ; The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally ; in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.
   ; Sarah Dessen, The Truth About Forever

I need a reason to stay here ; I need a reason to wake up and not care that it's raining.
   ; Grey's Anatomy

Oh, when I look back now, that summer seemed to last forever. And if I had the choice, yeah, I'd always wanna be there. Those were the best days of my life.
   ; Bryan Adams

Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks, not in what they say ; just in what they are.
   ; I Am the Messenger

If you love someone, you say it. You say it right then, out loud ; or the moment just passes you by..
   ; My Best Friend's Wedding

Believe in love, believe in magic, Hell, believe in Santa Claus! Believe in others, believe in yourself. Because if you don't, who will?
   ; Jon Bon Jovi

Here's to this moment, this moment in your life ; when nothing at all is perfect, but everything just feels right.

The beautiful thing about memories is that they are yours ; whether they are good, bad, or indifferent. They belong to you, and no matter where life takes you ; your memories tie you to where you've been, and to where you are now.

Love is not blind, it sees more not less; But because it sees more it chooses to see less."

"we say goodbye but never let go."
-Bryan Adams

"life with you is easy here, and when you leave, it will be hard again."
