You can choose to blame your circumstances on fate, or bad luck, or bad choices. Or you can fight back. Things aren't always gonna be fair in the real world, that's just the way it is. But for the most part, you get what you give. Let me ask you all a question, what's worse- not getting everything you wished for, or getting it but finding it's not enough? The rest of your life is being shaped right now, with the dreams you chase, the choices you make, and the person you decide to be. The rest of your life is a long time, and the rest of your life starts right now.

She's the first thing I think about every day. How is she? Does she miss me like I miss her? How do I get her back? And then another day without her begins.

Well, your eyes are puffy. which, from experience, screams
textbook crying eyes. You have your hair up, you're probably
not planning on impressing any boys today. I'd say you're
nursing a hell of a broken heart. and not the school girl crush kind.
You're dealing with the real thing.

The rest of your life is a long time, and whether you know it or not, it's being shaped right now.

One of these days you're gonna wake up and you'll feel that same ache in your heart and you'll realize how much I love you. Whenever that day is, I'll still be waiting for you, and you'll come home to me.

Sometimes it feels like it was yesterday, graduating high school, saying goodbye; that feeling that you get at 17 or 18- that nobody in the history of the world has ever been this close, has ever loved as fiercely or laughed as hard, or cared as much. Sometimes it feels like it was yesterday - and sometimes it feels like someone else's memory.

You can find the good in anybody if you just give them a chance, benefit of the doubt. Sometimes people disappoint you, sometimes they surprise you, but you never really get to know them until you listen for what's in their heart.

Just trust me, over time, not knowing is way worse than a "no".

Of course I miss you. It's all I do.

It's been said that the saddest thing a man will ever face is what might have been. But what of the man who's faced with what was? Or what may never be? Or what can no longer be? Choosing the right path is never easy. It's a decision we make with only our hearts to guide us. But sometimes, we find our way to something better. Sometimes we fight through the regret and remorse of our mistakes, our malice and our jealousy, and the shame we feel for not being the people we were meant to be. And that's when we find our way to something better. Or when something better finds its way to us.

I don't hate you. I remember the first time I ever saw you, all skinny arms and tangled mess of hair. It was hard letting you go Peyton. You know? It was hard losing you and it was hard seeing you again and it's still really hard

There are many who couldn't understand, and sometimes he walked among them. But even in his darkest hours, he knew in his heart that someday, they would return to him, and his world would be whole again.

Albert Camus once wrote, "Blessed are the hearts that can bend, for they shall never be broken." But I wonder, if there's no breaking, then there's no healing. And if there's no healing, then there's no learning. And if there's no learning, then there's no struggle. But struggle is a part of life. So must all hearts be broken?

She's struggling a bit, I guess that's what happens when you fall in love.
