"If you end up with a boring, miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest, or some guy on television telling you how to do your shit, then you deserve it." - Frank Zappa

"And I close my eyes as the curtains draw. I thought I heard your voice but I thought wrong, cause you're not there anymore, no you're not there anymore, and so I lift my chin and the show goes on, the sky is listening, the stars all sing along but you're not there anymore and I just can't care anymore." - Heaven Knows by Rise Against

“She said, ‘I’m so afraid.’ And I said, ‘Why?’, and she said, ‘because I’m so profoundly happy, Dr. Rasul. Happiness like this is frightening. They only let you be this happy if they’re preparing to take something from you.’” - The Kite Runner

"She felt empty. She felt like she had been scrounging crumbs off a dirty floor, wanting to believe she was getting a full meal. She felt like she hadn’t truly eaten in many days. She wished she could make her sadness go backward or even forward, to look back on it or postpone it, but it was here and now. How depressing of her to debase herself like that. How sad of her to try and find happiness in so little.” - Ann Brashares

Remember your childhood.

*Unto the pure all things are pure.

Mood:lighthearted/happy

"Know you what it is to be a child? It is to be
something very different from the man of to-day. It is to have a spirit yet streaming from the waters of baptism, it is to believe in love, to believe in loveliness, to believe in belief; it is to be so little that the elves can reach to whisper in your ear; it is to turn pumpkins into coaches, and mice into horses, lowness into loftiness, and nothing into everything, for each child has its fairy godmother
in its own soul." -Francis Thompson

Love,

*Bible, Titus 1:15

"Do you know what music is? It's God's little reminder that there's something else besides us in this universe." - August Rush; [2007 Warner Bros. Pictures]

"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

one: I go to school just to see you. ♥

two: give me one good reason why

I should fall in love with you.

there's always something that reminds me

I should stay.

I'm going to live the rest of my life

proving to you

that you made the right decision.

five: I love you. ♥

That's my secret.

It Won't Last Forever...

Mood:inspirational

Sometimes life is like a dagger through your heart.

And your choices haunt your everyday soul.

But you go on, push those thoughts into

the back of your closet and continue to live like it's no big deal.

Like you're fooling someone.

Your not,

and at the end of the day, you get those things out of your closet

and you savour them

because they are the choices that you have to live with.

so you breathe
