Look at the stars, look how they shine for you...

I'm home from Michigan! I leave for college in 10 days and I'm going sky diving a week from today. Plus I still need to get my tattoo... So much to do!

New post! I've recently been totally in love with all of my quotes so I hope you guys enjoy them too!

Leave some love, you guys have been great with feedback. It makes my day!

I should have known that we would never get anywhere. You can't fall in love when you are falling apart and you can't make amends if you are only making mistakes. Empty words can't fix a broken heart.

People always say be yourself, but that’s quite difficult when you don’t really know who you are. I feel like I’m a jumble of all different genres of music and fashion sense and ways of thinking, like I don’t like one particular thing or have one particular passion, I’m just this wondering person who travels around questioning who I am, why I’m here, what I love and what I want to do with my life.

I miss you in a way that tempting boys can't replace. Several lips have found mine since yours but, none were ever worth a chase. Call me pathetic, at least I'm on your mind. My dad says I'm too good for you and my little sister wishes you were still around so she could try to impress you. My mom says we were good together and I'm still looking for that mistake that made us unwind. I know you would be proud of me because we always spoke of the dreams I'm living. I hope you're doing fine and I don't find you pathetic but, you're still always on my mind.

I believe we write our own stories and each time we think we know the end, we don't. Perhaps luck exists somewhere between the world of planning, of chance and in the peace that comes from knowing that you just can't know it all. Life's funny that way... once you let go of the wheel, you might end up right where you belong.

Confidence comes not from always being right but not fearing to be wrong.

The real truth is I probally don't want to be too happy or content, because then what? I actually like the quest, the search. Thats the fun. The more lost you are, the more you have to look forward to.

Sometime love just isn't enough. Sometimes we have to let go of something that once meant the world to us. Not because we want to, but because we have to. But life will keep going with or without them. Life doesn't stop for you, or for anyone else. Life is life. It's hard but there are those amazing moments that make you who you are. Don't sit around crying when you let someone go. Someday you'll be okay again. Promise.

We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets.

-Marilyn Monroe

In greek, “nostalgia” literally means “the pain from an old wound”. It’s a twinge in your heart, far more powerful than memory alone. This device isn’t a spaceship, it’s a time machine. It goes backwards and forwards, it takes us to a place where we ache to go again.

I can't say I'm proud of my life, but I can say I'm proud that I've learned. I've learned that I can't rely on everyone, but I can't expect everyone to hurt me either I know some things don't work out, but I know everything has been for the better. I can't guarantee I'll be able to walk aroun with a smile. But I know when I've been, and where I'm going. I know who I am and who my friends are. I've had some tough stuff thrown at me, but I've gotten by. I'm not one to complain, so I'll keep trying. And in the end, I'll know I did my best.

I shiver, thinking how easy it is to be totally wrong about people, to see one tiny part of them and confuse it for the whole.

For the first time in my life I'm not worrying about what you're doing or how you are doing. I'm not wondering if she makes you happy, or if you have even found someone to make you happy the way I did. I know I was the best thing that ever happened to you. I know you're lost without me, and that's okay. Because I realized that I am so much more without you.

Sometimes late at night it just hits me. This is my life an I can do whatever I want.
