Surround yourself with people you love being yourself with.

Life changes. You get it all lined up just the way you like it and then something beyond your control comes along and bumps you off center. How nice it would be if you could get everything just the way you want it and say, 'Okay, now, stay.' But nothing stays the same. You grow up, make friends, lose friends, go to college, lose track of people, meet new ones, and sometimes you ask yourself why. But all I can tell you is the every single experience you go through like this changed you in some way. Every new person who comes into your life changes you. Every moral dilemma or emotional experience you come up against changes you. It's your job you decide how. That's how character is developed.

You spend so much time wondering who you are, don't you think? You flounder about, searching for your identity, when most of the time it is as plain as the nose on your face. You struggle with questions of purpose and need, and forget that the answers are found mostly inside yourselves.

Life can take your dreams and turn them upside down, friends will talk about you when you're not around, reality can really cut you down to size, but don't ever loose the light in your eyes. People make you promises they'll never keep, soon you'll know why people say talk is cheap, life resembles one big compromise but don't ever lose the light in your eyes. - Leann Rimes

You can plan a pretty picnic but you can't predict the weather.– Outkast

You've got to accept the fact that life isn't a fairy tale, things aren't always happily ever after. Things like magic wishes, Prince Charmings and true love don't happen in real life. Magic wishes come from money, Prince Charming's a shallow idiot with a bad haircut and overpriced clothes. And true love? Ha, true love is one-sided, Ace. You love her, she loves someone else. She loves you, you love someone else. Never quite works out does it? So you end up with some actor pretending to be your true love. Real considerate of someone to let you know reality was like that before being thrown into it. 'If you wish, it'll happen.' Well, wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one fills up faster. Welcome to reality. Enjoy your stay.

You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. - Buddha

Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories. Ask no guarantees, ask for no security, there never was such an animal. And if there were, it would be related to the great sloth which hangs upside down in a tree all day every day, sleeping its life away. To hell with that. Shake the tree and knock the great sloth down on his ass. - Fahrenheit 451

No matter how careful you are, there's going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn't experience at all. There's that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should've been paying attention, Well, get used to that feeling. That's how your whole life will feel some day.

We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves.

There are only a few things that belong to me. Who I am, who I was, and who I want to be. -Bouncing Souls

One day can make your life, one day can ruin your life. All life is, is four or five big days that change everything -Riding in Cars with Boys

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.

That perfect moment never comes if you don't seize it.
