Life 29...

There is a big difference in what we long for, what we settle for, and what we are meant for.

Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't. -Eleanor Roosevelt

Yeah we all flirt with the tiniest notion
Of self conclusion in one simplified motion
You see the trick is that you're never supposed act on it
No matter how unbearable this misery gets
-the spill canvas

There's a particular brand of pit that grows in your stomach when you know you're losing control and there's nothing you can do about it. Heavy as granite and moldering...It's the way we're built I suppose. A natural reaction to the unstoppable spin of the earth below. Forever trying to wrest control of life, love, work, and home. And when we can't get control there, we'll fight for it wherever we can. As if we think we could stop the world from spinning just by being mad. -Everwood

It was crazy to depend on other people, to let them be important to you.  All it did was make you stupid and vulnerable and blind to reality -Lois Duncan, Daugthers of Eve

Misery is an old friend. It tricks you sometimes into thinking that it's always going to be there, that you can't be happy, but you can. You can walk away from the pain & being in love is the best way to do it -One tree hill

But you only get so many do-overs in this life, so many chances to, if not change your past, alter your future. -Sarah Dessen, Just Listen

People change, but they do so reluctantly and with the tinest of increments.-NYPD Blue

No matter where you run, you're always going to end up running into yourself

Studies have shown that people convince themselves that they're acting rationally when making major decisions-- where to go to college, what to major in, who to kiss or not kiss--when they're really acting on unconscious impulses. The human brain simply can't handle all the complexities that life offers, so emotions kick in and end up making the call. And when that call blows, people don't understand why. -Megan McCafferty, Charmed Thirds

Life's funny sometimes.
It can push pretty hard, like when you fall in love with
someone but they forget to love you back, like when
your best friend and your boyfriend leave you alone, like when
you pull the trigger or light the flame, and you can't
take it back. Like I said, in sports, they call this stepping up. In
life, I call it pushing back . -One Tree Hill

You say that we're all tied up And wrapped around in useless, states of mind. But at the same time we're still young, we have the time to realize that we were wrong. -The Scene Aesthetic

Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.-Martin Luther King Jr.

Life should be a little nuts, otherwise it's just a bunch of ... Thursdays, strung together -Rumor Has It

After all, it's all kinds of things that make up a life, right? The big, like falling in love and spending time with your family, and the little....like blow drying your hair, applying concealer, and cursing those magazine inserts. It all counts. It has to. -Sarah Dessen

Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience.- Victoria Holt

You know, it's been said that we just don't recognize the significant moments in our lives while they're happening, that we grow complacent with ideas or things or people, and we take them for granted, and it's usually not until that thing is about to be taken away from you, that you realize how wrong you've been, that you realize how much you really need it, how much you love it. -One Tree Hill

I used to think that I wouldn't change anything from my past, because doing so would inevitably affect who I am now. But considering my current state, I'm thinking it might not be a bad idea to go back in time to fix things -Megan McCafferty, Charmed Thirds

There is a prayer intended to give strength to people faced with circumstances they don't want to accept. The power of the prayer comes from its insight into human nature. Because so many of us rage against the hand life has dealt us. Because so many of us are cowards and afraid to stand up for what is right. Because so many of us give into despair when faced with an impossible choice. The good news for those who utter those words is God will hear you and answer your prayer. The bad news is that sometimes the answer is 'no' -Desperate Housewives
