“I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.
I got a love, and I know that it's all mine.
The sun is on my side.
Take me for a ride.
I smile up to the sky.
I know I'll be all right.”

♥ I may not always RESPOND to every comment, but I read each and every one.
♥ PLEASE do not advertise on my site!
♥ No cmmnt4cmmnt (or sub4sub) please. I don't like the idea of having people subscribe or comment me just so they can up their numbers. Post because you love it! The numbers (sub # and comment amount) are nice but you shouldn't be managing a site and threatening to close it if you don't get a bunch of comments.

This will get me nowhere, but it will keep me alive.

I'm sorry I haven't updated in forever!
I added more graphic quotes than normal.
Your feedback is what keeps me going!

1
Give me something that I need,
satisfaction guaranteed
 
2
here I sit alone, it was my fault, I know.

if I was you I wouldn’t take me back.

just let me down slowly, please.

My eyes were sad and my fingers were mad as I
wrote this letter that said: 'I wish you the best in
your new royal address and I wish that she were dead.'

If you can find a path with no obstacles,
it probably doesn't lead anywhere.

we'll sleep out in the garden.
and if it rains, we'll just sink in to the mud.
where it is quiet, and much cooler than the house is.
and there are no clocks or phones to wake us up
because i've learned that nothing is as pressing as
the one who's pressing would like you to believe.
and i'm content to walk a little slower,
because there's nowhere that i really need to be.
and i find that life is easier,
when it's just a blur with no details
to confuse who or what or where i was,
so when the ending comes, the full regret will seem obscure.

when everything is lonely, I can be my own best friend.

7
In every circle of friends there's a whore
The one that flirts and does a little more.
- Cute is what we Aim for

 I’m leaving because you never asked me to stay.

she liked art and sometimes, her voice sounded like a painting.

When I sleep, I dream of you. And when I wake, I long to hold you in my arms. If anything, our time apart has only made me more certain that I want to spend my nights by your side, and my days with your heart.
-Nights in Rondanthe ; Nicholas Sparks

12
and your heart did fly

and your soul was telling lies

and you never asked why

this all couldn’t last forever.

13

 Sick to my stomach once again I keep
remembering I'm just your friend
 
14
 "things are never gonna be the same
and all i have to say is
you're the only one to blame."

15
it’s just the way you live your life, I’m inspired.

and when you hold my hand, I’m free.

and when you kiss my cheek, you melt me.

 
16
"so i laid my head on to my pillow as the last tear ran down my face.
i can't do this anymore, i whispered to no one."

17
Forgive, sounds good.
Forget, I'm not sure I could.
They say time heals everything,
but I'm still waiting.

18
well you started off,

you were flying in the air

drunk without a care on the

love of somebody out there.

20
I'm imagining the way you say my name, I don't know when I'm going to hear it again. my friends can't tell my laughter from my cries. someone tell this photograph of you to let go of my eyes
.

Can I just say you're wonderful, wonderful.

I love my friends!
And my man is absolutely amazing.
I can't believe i'm a senior :p


1
I'll tear down the stars and
I'll give them to you. They're
not as pretty as your eyes
but I guess it will have to do.
 
2
your biggest challenge isn't someone else.
it's the ache in your lungs, the burning in your legs,
and the voice inside you that says "can't".
but you don't listen, you push harder.
you hear the voice whisper "can" and
you discover that the person you though t you were
is no match for the one you really are.

3
oh we're still so young, desperate for attention.
i aim to be in your eyes
 
4
This time it`s different. I don`t even feel the distance; I`m not missing you.

Humor has become so cliche and boring that nothing's funny anymore unless it involves something totally disgusting that offends somebody or makes them feel really uncomfortable.
-Tom DeLonge

She fell in, fell out, & it doesn't matter anymore, because the person you had to catch you at the bottom is no longer there, he is off doing other stuff, & their promise becomes a kind of lie, & lying is the worst, isn't it? But how he acts, & what he says, & what he does, & who he is, they don't line up anymore, & the lie is in that not lining up, the lie is in not being what she needs but pretending that he is. No one says a word, & she sees it in every minute they have together.
- Scrambled Eggs At Midnight by Brad Barkley & Heather Hepler

don't hold on too long, but don't let go too soon
 
8
let the music move you,
let the moment take your hand,
let it lead you into the middle of
the dance floor and embrace you.
dive off the high board, ride with
the top down, thrive like a wildflower.
 
9
You don't have a soul,
you are a soul.
You have a body.
- C.S. Lewis

10
I know it seems like we're never coming back
I know it feels like we're never coming back
You tried your best and you knew it wouldn't last

11
 To ease another's heartache is to forget one's own.
- Abraham Lincoln

12
You kiss so hard that I stop breathing,
and I could die right here
but you wouldn't let me

13
I close my eyes and imagine I’m a tree drenched in sunlight, that I have no desire beyond the rain.
- Before I Die – Jenny Downham



What do you want to see more or less of on my site? :D

Maybe you'll find that there are better days if you leave these days behind.

1
but a bright and beautiful blur,
no matter how distant, was better
than a reality that was dull and gray.  
 
2
I feel like
I can fly when I’m next to you.
Please love me.

i put my hand in his, and felt his fingers fold over mine,
gently leading me to the edge of the floor. i was about to
make some joke to lighten things up, but he put his arms
around my waist and pulled me closer. and suddenly,
i didn't feel like talking about anything.

Be someone who couldn't care more."

I love what you are, and what you do and how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength that carries you through. I've seen the best of you. I've seen the worst of you.
And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. And i love you
 
9
And I know what your heart is telling you,
'cause my hearts telling me the same thing too.

"i dance to obliterate duration.
i dance to dignify form as content.
i dance to equalize figure and surround
i dance to put intuition in conversation with thought.
i dance to demonstrate the great facility and
ridiculous limits of theh un-accoutered human body.
i dance not to be stuck in one position.
i dance in order to stand up straight.
i dance because you don't have to carry your instrument.
i dance because i can't wait to be asked.
i dance to achieve a vital, non-heroic presence.
i dance to shrink to an irreducible kernel of purified being.
i dance to arouse things out there that have
not yet done so to enter my mind.
i dance to have a say in what i submit to.
i dance to forget why i dance."
- Douglas Dunn

"I found the one my heart loves."
Songs of solomon 3:4

12
please save me.

they’re trying to tell me how to feel.

this love is difficult.

but it’s real.

13
somebody turn the lights on.

somebody tell me what’s wrong.

I’d be lying if I told you losing you

was something I could handle.

.

Our light's almost out, but I'll smile again the day you figure out... I was all that you had.

1
... like a deer in the headlights,
frozen in real time and I'm losing my mind,
It's time to move on.

no camera could ever capture
the look in her eyes when he
smiles at her.

3
I'm trying my best to forget that you
forgot about me. Believe me, it's not
working out. You've got something
about you that makes me want you more.

laughter and tears are both responses
to frustration and exhaustion. i myself
prefer to laugh, since there is less
cleaning up to do afterward.

"reading gives us somewhere to go
when we have to stay where we are."
- Mason Cooley

7
a laundry list of problems

doesn’t make you interesting

and never getting help

doesn’t make you brave.

I used to believe in us
when times got tough
but lately i`m afraid
that even love is not enough.

"you hold onto hope he’ll change his mind
come runnin’ back, straight back to you
you hold onto the past, won’t set it free
you keep makin’ wishes that just won’t come true."

10
Let go of the pain.
You can see the truth in his eyes.

11
Every day is a new beginning. Treat it that way. Stay away from what might have been, and look at what can be.
- Marsha Petrie Sue

12
I'm not your kind
I'm not your girl
See I'm in your car
But not your life

13
Now and then it's good
to pause in our pursuit
of happiness and just be happy.
+ Guillaume Apollinaire
 
14
And there's only a few things I've wanted to hold onto.
one being the color of the sky so blue and every feeling
I've ever felt when I was touching you.

15
The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours melt.

16
Baby, let's get this straight;
I love you and  only you.
