• Keep it simple

  

  Here’s to the moments where we didn’t think about right and wrong. We just lived; crossed our fingers and hoped for the best.

  

  

  

  
  

   I never thought I’d hear myself saying this, but thank you. Because if you hadn’t come along, I never would have learned that my worst day could also have been my best. Because when a heart breaks, it also opens; and once a heart opens any number of things can happen, and some of them can be wonderful.

  

  

  

  
  

  Always hold your head up high, even if on the inside, you’re about to cry. Pretend that nothing’s wrong at all. Close your eyes before you fall. If you can’t see it, it’s not there. This is life and it’s not fair.

  

  

  

  
  

  In life, no one has ever abused you more than you have abused yourself. Learn to love yourself, to live with yourself, and to finally find what’s best for yourself instead of what quiets the tears.

  

  

  

  
  

  I’ve been running around for the past year with absolutely no direction. I didn’t know what I wanted. All I knew was that you were always there, always in my head, always under my skin.

  

  

  

  
  

  I’m going to smile and make you think I’m happy, I’m going to laugh, so you don’t see me cry, I’m going to let you go in style, and even if it kills me – I’m going to smile.

  

  

  

  
  

  We have voices and stories and plans and dreams and ideas. We have hopes. We will wake up tomorrow to a day that had never been known. We are living a life that has never been lived. We are here for a reason. We exist to love and be loved. Life comes back. Things do change. Storms do pass.

  

  

  

  
  

  It’s taken me a while, but I’m learning that letting go of the past is a good thing.

  

  

  

  
  

  Sometimes there is no next time, no time outs, no second chances. Sometimes it’s now or never.

  

  

  

  
  

  Everybody always want life to go smoothly but the truth is, it’s the mistakes that keep thing interesting.

  

  

  

  
  

  In three words I could sum up everything I learned about life: it goes on. Everything I learned about love: it doesn’t last. And everything I learned about people: they change fast.

  

  

  

  
  

  Sometimes it takes hitting rock bottom. To realize that who you’ve become is not who you planned. And who you are is not who you like.

  

  

  

  
  

  People said I’ve changed so much. Well here’s the honest truth. I grew up. I stopped letting people push me around. I learned that you can’t always be happy. I accepted reality.

  

  

  

  

  Every time I get a tattoo, it’s like a big ‘fuck you’ to all the people that told me not to.

  

  

  

  
  

  There are things about your childhood you hold onto, because they were so much a part of you: the places you went, the people you knew.

  

  

  

  
  

  Whoever said ‘what you don’t know can’t hurt you’ was a complete and total moron. Because, for most people I know, not knowing is the worst feeling in the world.

  

  

  

  
  

  You lift me up when I’m down, you made me smile when I forgot how to, you were there for me in my times of need, and you were there when I needed nothing at all.

  

  

  

  
  

  You can’t just pick me up, throw me back down again & repeat this cycle three times a week. It’s wrong.

  

  

  

  
  

  You’re going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it’s always their actions you should judge them by. It’s actions, not words that matter.

  

  

  

  
  

  Sweetheart, you can’t bullshit me. See, I’ve lied to myself enough to know when someone else is doing it. So let’s try this again, and how about the truth this time.

  

  

  

  
  

  I guess you’re living proof that when you let go of the past, better things come along.
