It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death.
Every good thing is good because it costs something. Every yes has a no. When you get to 'that place' often it costs more than you thought but it's worth it"
People come into your life and people go. But it’s comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you’re very lucky, a plane ride away.
"If you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose." -Bob Dylan
And the song ends here, cause you're really not near. We haven't said a word in over a year. It just gives me hope, like music gives you rope to hold you right here.
The great thing about music is that it can just take you away. We all know that feeling when we here a song that instantly catches our attention.. whether it was because the lyrics being sung were the same as thoughts in our head, or the rhythm was enough to just keep us there.. the feeling is wonderful. Music brings us all together. We’re all singing that chorus, knowing we’re not alone. Music can take us back. It can give us hope. Why does music make us feel so invincible? Because there’s no better escape from life.. we know it.
I watch you from a distance. I remember all of those instances.. when you smile, when you laugh, when you crash, when I'm there to catch you when you fall. And I miss you, and I wish you were here. I stopped breathing when you said you don't care anymore. Tell me that you're doing fine. I still remember every time. And everyone I know will say, that you are always a part of me. And I miss you like you never knew.
"Don't ever let life pass you by" - Incubus
I hope that a little part of you still thinks of me
"I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it." –Voltaire
The Velveteen Rabbit was about how little kids get one toy that they love more than all the others, and even when its fur has been rubbed off, and it’s gone saggy with bits missing, the little child still thinks it’s the most beautiful toy in the world, and can’t bear to be parted from it. That’s how it works, when people really love each other.
When you're stuck loving someone, all you wanna do is stay away. But, when that person shows even the smallest gesture of affection, all your efforts of moving on go down the drain.
Human kind cannot bare much reality. We keep hoping for the best and we keep being disappointed. Every now and then we stumble on something or someone and hope seems entirely reasonable.”
I have no idea how he knows when I need him. We can go weeks without speaking.
And then, when my blue moods threaten to turn black, he will show up and tell me my moods are
azure, indigo, cerulean, cobalt, periwinkle. And suddenly, the blue will not seem so dark,
more like the color of a noon-bright sky. He brings the sun.
I guess to some extent, you get used to being alone. You get used to not expecting phone calls & having nothing to do at night. You don’t expect to turn around to open arms any longer. The small sounds of him have been replaced by silence. Your thoughts echo through your head, with no one to share them with. All in all, being alone isn’t terrible, it just hurts like hell.
I'm in one of those moods that nothing is really wrong in my life, but my brain keeps on insisting that there is. Or maybe it's my heart thats doing the insisting. I can't really tell. You know that feeling?
Because sometimes there is no easy way out. You just have to grin and bear it.
Sometimes the only escape route is to go straight through the flames, just braces yourself and bite your lip.
Sometimes you just have to sever the ties clean off.
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.
i don't have a fear of commitment. i have a fear of abandonment. we all screw things up, i screw things up. especially with the people i love. i get needy, i get moody, i get distant, i want to be too close. i get confused, i don't understand all of it. but i keep pushing because i hope in this thing; the universe. there's no way i'm the only bad person out there who wants something this bad. if i want it someone else out there must too.
I am so afraid that I am responsible for my own loneliness.
get dirty. get fucking filthy. get poor. get off your ass. get desprate. get dangerous. get moving. get productive. get pro-active. get started. get your own life. get doing somthing. anything. because before you know it you're 40 with kids, a mortage and responsibilities that cause your fun to come second. so before cancer, before children, before 50 hour work weeks, before back and kneeproblems, before school loans, before you lose your sense of humor.. fight.fight and fuck and run and smile. smile because the older you get the less you will.so yes " quit being such a goddamn pussy. " because bitching and whining and worry never made anything better.
Let’s be honest. Sometimes there is nothing harder in life than being happy for somebody else.
There are some people who meet that somebody that they can never stop loving, no matter how hard they try. I wouldn't expect you to understand that, or even believe it.. but trust me, there are some loves that don't go away. And maybe that makes them crazy.. but we all should be lucky enough to end up with somebody who has a little of that insanity, someone who never lets go, someone who cherishes you forever.
I miss you even more than I could have believed. And I was prepared to miss you a good deal. So this letter is just really a sequel of pain. It is incredible how essential to me you have become.
Sometimes it takes hundreds of miles and hours of quiet bus rides to make you remember how much you love someone. I can't sleep. And I miss you. And the city and I haven't been breathing the same. It's never easy, regardless of the season.
So I stopped watching, I stopped caring. I lost all interest, and I stopped wearing these plastic smiles. I'll wash my hands clean. I'll forget that you forgot about me. And I'll live the life, the big city feeling, cause it's better than suburban dreaming. Living off the friends that hate you, who talk shit on me. Like I don't know who my real friends are anymore. No, I don't know you anymore.
I guess by now I should know enough about loss to realize that you never really stop missing someone, you just learn to live around the huge gaping hole of their absence.
it seems like a million years ago we dated,
but it wasn't. maybe you`re over it.
maybe it doesn`t mean anything to you anymore.
maybe it never did, but it meant a lot to me.
you meant a lot to me. & you still do.
--THE O.C.
There isn’t a moment of my day that isn’t spent wondering where you are, what you’re doing, how you’re feeling. Even in the quiet of the night, when everything is still and I am nearly asleep, there’s a part of me that is still wondering.
But I should have known this right from the start.. only hope can keep me together. Love can mend your life, but love can break your heart.
"I want to draw something that means something to someone. You know? I want to draw blind faith or a fading summer, or just a moment of clarity. It’s like, when you go and see a really great band, live for the first time and, you know, and nobody’s saying it, but everybody’s thinking it.. we have something to believe in again. I want to draw that feeling, but I can’t. And if I can’t be great at it, then I don’t want to ruin it. It’s too important to me."
I did not cry one time thinking about you today.
This is unusual for me. I know what we are now is what we should be.
I don't know how to fall out of love with you
All human wisdom is summed up in two words - wait and hope.
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
how wonderful life is while you're in the world
"Many people need desperately to receive this message.. "I feel and think much as you do. Care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone."
Just hear this, and then I'll go..
You gave me more to live for,
more than you'll ever know.
It’s just one of those days when everything is completely wrong, and yet you don’t even know why you’re so depressed. And it’s one of those days when you wish that everyone would just leave you alone and go away. Yeah it’s one of those days when all you need is to be left alone. Yet at the same time you wish someone out there would care.
Believe nothing. Just because a wise man said it, or you read it in a book…words of divine order, or because your mother told you…it doesn’t make it true. Believe only what you yourself can test and judge to be true.
Do you know how much you meant to me? Oh no. Do you know I still carry the memories? Oh no. Did you know that for me letting go wasn’t easy? Oh no, no you don’t
'Cause all the roads they lead to where you are
And all the streetlights shine like they were stars
I started sending you a note on how I hope that you’re happy. I hear you're somewhere in the sand, and how I wish I was an ocean. Maybe then I'd get to see you again.
I'll trade the moon for the sun but this feeling for no one
I admit I miss seeing your face. And being alone is starting to take its toll. I'm cold and it's getting old..
To every kid who has some rant here about superstars, they'll never be who you want them to be.
Spend your time with your family you never know when they won't be there to talk to.
You can always have new heroes but don't make a mistake you'll spend a lifetime regretting.
You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive. Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair and that you would never leave. But you gave away the things you loved, and one of them was me.
I think you gave me something to live for, I think I helped you pass the time...
Can I just say one more thing I'm not going to say there's plenty more fish in the sea, I'm not going to say if you love let her go, and I'm not guna bombard you with cliches, but what I will say it's not the end of the world.
Am I wasting my breathe?
Cause it's still in my mind
“Tell him yes,” she said. “Even if you are dying of fear, even if you are sorry later, because whatever you do, you will be sorry all the rest of your life if you say no. -Love in the Time of Cholera
You just have to go after what you want
And if it doesnt want you back then so be it
It doesnt deserve you anyway
We all want to be loved…to be happy. So why aren’t we? Because we’ve become experts at sabotaging our own happiness. Feeling like victims, when in fact it’s the choices we make, the bad habits, the vices, the inability to show love and compassion. These are the things that tear us down. We’re not victims. We’re assassins when it comes to love and happiness.
Unhappiness is not knowing what we want and killing ourselves to get it.
I’ve thought for a long time that we were going to end up together, so I didn’t really care so much about the when of it. Now, though, the long road is starting to seem like the infinite road.
Simply put, you believe that things or people make you unhappy, but this is not accurate. You make yourself unhappy.
He's my kind of rain, like love from a drunken sky, confetti falling down all night. He's my kind of rain, he's the sunset's shadow, he's like rembrandt's light, he's the history that's made at night, he's my lost companion, he's my dreaming tree, together in this brief eternity. Summer days, winter snow.. he's all things to behold.
The one you love and the one who loves you are never, ever the same person. - Chuck Palahniuk
I will sleep another day. I don't really need to anyway. What's the point when my dreams are infected with words you used to say? I will breathe in a moment, as long as I keep my distance. I wouldn't want to go messing anything up
Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. - Chuck Palahniuk
I am the sky and you are the sea
You are the one who colours me
If you don’t know what you want, you end up with a lot you don’t - Chuck Palahniuk
Everyone had a forever, but given a choice, this would be mine. The one that began in this moment, in a kiss that took my breath away, then gave it back - leaving me astounded, amazed, and most of all, alive.
You're letting her think you're emotionally available.
You're letting her think she has a chance.
& there is nothing worse in the world than thinking
you have a chance when you really don't.
All the books you started reading, all the boys you started seeing, every half completed sentiment that you always meant to say, get stuck inside a memory, like a miracle unfinished and you only feel like going back to where there's no place to stay.
