“Have you ever been in love?
Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens
up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.”
― Neil Gaiman

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone
who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve
never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually
want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come
true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has
thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them
about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed
to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of
yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not
good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about
yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure,
jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can
be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love
you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as
a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to
cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and
vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant.
Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t
exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a
long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence,
there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content
in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become
fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so
special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything
you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or
even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a
chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a
love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is
the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares
you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul
mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different,
exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they
are a part of your life.”
― Bob Marley
“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make
mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't
handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.” ― Marilyn Monroe
“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”
“I
love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply,
without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any
other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that
your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your
eyes close.”
“You may not be her first, her last, or her
only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else
matters? She's not perfect—you aren't either, and the two of you may never be
perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and
admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most
you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she
will give you a part of her that she knows you can break—her heart. So don't
hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can
give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and
miss her when she's not there.”
“This
life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes,
it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going
to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But
just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through
everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also
remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well,
they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually
pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up
because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that
half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once,
doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always,
always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will,
sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep
smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”
