Sometimes we take for granted the people in our lives
that mean so much and when we finally realize that, it
can be too late. Take advantage of every minute you have,
hold onto and cherish every second. Have no regrets
and never forget those that made you into who you are.

I wish I could just make you turn around, turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you, so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now, there's just an empty space
But to wait for you is all I can do and that's what I've gotta face
Take a look at me now, I'll just be standing here
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that's a chance I've gotta face
-"Against All Odds" by The Postal Service

Why do people think it's okay for them to do horrible
things as long as they apologize afterwards?

You may feel alone when you're falling asleep
And everytime tears roll down your cheeks
But I know your heart belongs to someone you've yet to meet
Someday you will be loved

The hardest thing about growing up is that you have to
do what's best for you, even if it means breaking someone's
heart, including your own.

I’m falling apart, I’m barely breathing,
Just like a broken heart that’s still beating.
In the pain there is healing.
In your name I find meaning.
So I’m holding on, I’m holding on.
I’m still holding on.
Lifehouse, “Broken”

sometimes you just need to look at the world through
new eyes and realize it will always keep turning.

In life, we do things. Some, we wish we had never done,
and some we wish we could replay a million times,
but they make us who we are and, in the end, they shape and detail us.
If we were to reserve them, we wouldn't be the person we are today.
So, just live. Make mistakes and have wonderful memories.
But, never second guess who you are, where you've been
and, most importantly, where you're going.

I've always wanted to be with you.
I was just afraid that you would get tired of me.
I wasn't sure I could handle losing you.
Then I realized that I would rather spend five minutes with you than a lifetime without you.

Things happen. What are you gonna
do -- give up, quit? No. I realize now that when something
happens, you got to fight like hell to make sure you're
still alive. Cause you are. That pain you feel -- that's life. The
confusion and fear -- that's there to remind you that somewhere
out there is something better. And that something is worth fighting for.

I know I’m alone if I’m with or without you.
Rilo Kiley, “Portions For Foxes”

But as I stood watching her, I realized how truly hard it was, really,
to see someone you love change right before your eyes.
-the truth about forever

You closed your eyes. That was the difference.
Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel.
And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them too---even when you are in the dark. Even when you're falling.
