Love Moments

"it is the possibility that keeps me going, and though you
may call me a dreamer or a fool or any other thing, i
believe that anything is possible."
-The Notebook



you know what's the most terrifying thing about admitting
that you're in love? you're just naked. you put yourself in
harm's way and you lay down all your defenses. no clothes,
no weapons. nowhere to hide, completely vulnerable. the
only thing that makes it tolerable is to believe the other person
loves you back and you can trust them not to hurt you.



when people ask me what i see in you, i don't know what
to tell them. because honestly, i don't know. but when i
look into your eyes, i see magic and it just makes me
want to lose myself in your arms.



to me, love is going to bed at night knowing that there is one
person out there who is thinking of you at the same moment.
love is having a last call of the day be the one last person that
you want to talk to while lying in your bed just before the day
is over. love is a smile, it's the one thing that you always want
to do when in love because if it's true love, you're happy. and
not only is it a smile on your face, but love gives the power to
forgive and work things out. most of all, in my opinion, love is
an incredible feeling that everyone deserves to have in their life.
no one can tell you if you're in love or not because only you know.
there is no time limit on love. you might love someone after one
week or maybe after one year. love is different for everyone
and that's why it's so unique.



don't try to reason with your heart or feel with your mind.
for just as the heart knows no logic, the mind can't lead
you to your soul.



never be bullied into silence. never allow yourself to be
made a victim. accept no one's definition of your life;
define yourself.



i love you. not maybe, not tomorrow, not someday,
right now- at this very moment. i realized something,
i need you. i trust you. i admire you. i want you, and
you can be wrong a lot of the time, and we can fight
and get mad at each other, but nothing, nothing in this
world can change the fact that i love you.



it's the kind of relationship where they have a secret
handshake, and she begs him to watch disney movies
with her, while he begs her to watch a scary movie
instead. it's where they laugh and joke all the time,
but they're serious when the time is to be serious.
it's where neither of them have to say "i love you"
because they know with all their hearts that they
love each other. it's where they can mess around
on her couch and then she'll laugh at him when he
tries not to look guilty in front of her dad. it's the
kind of love that everybody dreams of.



he taught me how to trust myself. he taught me that i
should love every flaw. he taught me that no matter
what i should make the decision to jump, and not regret it.



it took me a long time to realize this and i think i'm
starting to, but sometimes what you want isn't always
what you get. but in the end, what you get is so much
better than what you wanted.



self-confidence gives you the freedom to make mistakes
and cope with failure without feeling that your world has
come to an end.



thing will get worse before they get better. but when they do,
remember who put you down and who helped you up.



worrying is a waste of time. it doesn't change anything,
it just messes with your mind and steals your happiness.



you deserve the right kind of love, the kind of love that makes
you happy, the fantastic love that's in books and movies. even
if you aren't together forever, you'll want to look back and
never regret falling in love with him. that's the kind of love
we all deserve.



when you finally get something good, enjoy it, keep it,
cherish it. don't go on trying to look for something better.



don't think too much. you'll think your entire life away.
just close your eyes and follow your heart, i promise
it knows the way.



"as simple as it sounds, we all must try to be the best
person we can; by making the best choices, by making
the most of the talents we were given."
- Mary Lou Retton



i can't explain this feeling for you, but i guess i can try.
it's like i've waited for this one thing my whole life, and
it's suddenly right in front of me. i know you sometimes
doubt how you feel for me, and sometimes i doubt how
i feel for you, but then there are times, stupid times, like
when we're posing for a picture, or i'm sitting in your car,
or when we're walking together and we brush against
each other, and i know without a question that you're
feeling the same way i am. and those moments, however
few or far between, make everything we go through
worth it. what can i say? somewhere in these past
few months, i've fallen in love.



but that summer had a way of making her smile
and feel happier. it was sort of amazing how for
those three months she always believed in herself
and in all that she could be.



i have always been a laugher; disturbing people who
are not laughers, upsetting whole audiences at theaters...
i laugh, that's all. i love to laugh. laughter to me, is being
alive. i have had rotten times, and i have laughed through
them. even in the midst of the very worst times, i have laughed.



there will come a time in your life when you become
absolutely infatuated with a single soul. for this person,
you'd do anything for and not think twice about it, but
when asked why...you have no answer. you'll try your
whole life to understand how a single person can affect
you as much as they do, but you'll never truly find out.
and no matter how badly it hurts or how badly you hate
it, you'll love this person for the rest of your life without
regret.



the more i look around and listen, i realize that i'm not
alone. we are all facing choices that define us. no choice,
however messy, is without importance in the overall picture
of our lives. we all at our own age have to claim something,
even if it's only our own confusion. i am in the middle of
growing up and into myself.



may you grow up to be righteous, may you grow up to be
true. may you always know the truth and see the lights
surrounding you. may you always be courageous, stand
upright and be strong. may you stay forever young.



"i decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally;
i never expected it to do anything special for me, yet i seemed
to accomplish far more than i have ever hoped. most of the time
it just happened to me without my ever seeking it."
