I'm really happy I found you
Seriously, it's been way too long. I've missed this site so much, but you know, I've had so much going on. But I found time to make updates, and I am hoping to keep it up as often as I can.
Enjoy & please let me know what you think!
Oh & btw...I changed how I'm going to be updating. For now, just 10 quote, 10 picture updates. Hope you don't mind :)

it's a kiss, it's a smile, it's a sip of wine, it's summertime
Hey guys! :)
Sorry for being so MIA lately, it's summer!
Enjoy and please leave me some love :)

One.
You think that you deserve that pain, but you don't. I know what it's like to want to avoid it all, to just need to make it go away, but you can't. I know that you look in the mirror and feel that it's all your fault, like there was something you should have done--like in some way, the things that have happened to you were your fault. But, they weren't. And maybe you look in the mirror and see that, but I look at you and see someone incredible, who needs to be happy. Whom I need to be happy. You think you deserve to let these things gnaw at your insides, torturing you, but you don't. You deserve so much better than that. I need you to see that, because you deserve to not walk around with any of this pain. You deserve better, you just have to understand that.

Two.
A healthy relationship keeps the doors and windows wide open. Plenty of air circulating and no one feels trapped. Relationships thrive in this environment. Keep your doors and windows open. If this person is meant to be in your life, all the open doors and windows in the world will not make them leave. Trust that truth.

Three.
She had to protect herself from herself, from that little girl inside still looking for a happy ending.

Four.
There it goes again. That heavy feeling in your chest when you don't feel any desire to speak or move. All you want to do is close your eyes and sleep, because the process of being broken is incredibly exhausting. You attempt your best to make your days fulfilling, but no matter how hard you try you can't seem to connect to anyone or anything.

Five.
Pretending you are the host of a cooking show, when you're home alone cooking.

Six.
You are living, breathing proof that I'm losing my grip on reality.

Seven.
We fell in love with the windows rolled down, chasing the sunset through another empty town. Your hair was a mess when you would dance on the coast. Your silhouette like some heavenly ghost. When you're only eighteen, and you have nothing to lose. And you're living a dream with the sand in your shoes. You said falling in love is easy, falling in love is easy to do. And though it may hurt to have your heart broken in two, that didn't stop me from falling for you.

Eight.
Seduce my mind and you can have my body. Find my soul and I'm yours forever.

Nine.
Appreciate what you have before it's what you had.

Ten.
Someone will always be prettier. They will always be smarter. Their house will always be bigger. They will drive a better car. Their children will do better in school, and their husbands will fix more things about the house. So let it go, and love yourself and your circumstances. Think about it: the prettiest women in the world have turmoil in their house and the highly favored woman at your job may be unable to have children. And the richest woman you know, she's got the car, the house, the clothes-might be lonely. And the world says, "If I have no love, I am nothing." So again, love who you are. Look in the mirror in the morning and smile and say, "I am blessed to be stressed and too anointed to be disappointed. Winners make things happen; losers let things happen.

Eleven.
Cuddling until you fall asleep is probably the best feeling in a relationship.

Twelve.
And something has to be right about us being together because if it wasn't, I don't think I would feel the way I do when I'm with you.

Thirteen.
I love you. You are my life, my happiest moments wouldn't be complete if you weren't by my side. You are my relation and connection to the sun, with you next to me there's no darkness I can't overcome.

Fourteen.
I want a perfect summer, you know the ones with all your true friends, staying out late, and staying up into the early mornings, crying from laughing, laid back days being worry free. Swimming, camping, bonfires, and loud music. But the most important thing is spending every night in his arms, those little arguments where in the end, he pulls me into his arms and doesn't let go, warm nights laying in the yard looking at the stars together. And looking into his arms and knowing our love will last.

Fifteen.
I guess you get used to somebody, kinda like having them around. I guess you get used to the way they make you happy, bring you up when you're feeling down. I never dreamed when I was letting you go that I would wake up and miss you this much. I guess you get used to somebody. I guess you get used to being loved.

Sixteen.
Sometimes you have to figure out that the people you care the most about just don't care about you. Sometimes they have better girls, girls that mean more than you ever did. Sometimes you just have to accept that love sucks, and know that he doesn't want you in his life. Sometimes you have to realize you weren't meant to be, and you both can find better fits in your lives. Sometimes you have to accept that people lie. Sometimes you have to know things change, and life goes on.

Seventeen.
After a while, you just can't cry anymore. You just have to believe that what happens is what's supposed to happen, and well, you can't change that, even if you tried. So just dry the tears, and hope that tomorrow will be a better day.

Eighteen.
Someday I'd love to have no secrets. None at all. I'd tell my deepest secrets to somebody, anybody, and start fresh. I'd never keep a secret again because that's really what tears us apart; untold secrets that we keep hiding. One day I'll let go of all my secrets and fears.

Nineteen.
Set your alarm. Get up bright and early. Pull on a baggy top and jogging bottoms. Go outside, no matter what the weather. Walk for ten minutes. Skip for five. Jog for five minutes. Then turn around and walk back. Nice and early with no one aroune. Then get back home again. Cut yourself some fruit: apples, oranges, mangoes. All in. Add a little yogurt for a healthy start to the day. Go and pour yourself some water. Fresh water, ice cold. Refreshing. Go to the bathroom, turn on the shower. Wash your hair with a nice smelling shampoo and matching conditioner. Wash yourself with body lotion. Come out of the shower. Dry yourself all over. Slather yourself in body butter. You smell nice, clean, innocent, pure. Put something nice on. A pair of jeans, a top. Your favorite bra and panties. Towel dry your hair, leaving it damp to dry naturally. All natural. Go to the mirror and look at what you see. Don't like it? Pick out three things that you love. Your beautiful eyes, your shiny hair, your tinted cheeks. Go downstairs, ignore the kitchen. You've already had breakfast. Get a glass of water. Paint your nails. Read a book. Go for a walk. Call your friends. Spend some time with your family. Spend some time outside. You know this will be a beautiful day. The sun might not be shining, but you sure are. This day will be perfect. This day will be the most perfect day you've had so far. No binging, no purging, no crying, no cutting, no hating. Only loving and laughing and living. You can do this.

Twenty.
If you can't amaze people with your intelligence, then confuse them with your bullshit.

Twenty-one.
Now I don't like using words like forever, but I will love you until the end of the day. And in the morning when I remember everything that you are, I know I will fall for you all over again.

Twenty-two.
I don't want a happily ever after, I want a right now. I want someone to love me for all of my flaws and complications. I want someone to tell me how pretty I am, and send me a good morning text. I just want someone who wants me.

Twenty-three.
Not every girl wants to be in a relationship. Some just want good company, a guy to vibe with, converse with and laugh with, not in a rush. Start off simple, and let the rest find itself. Having someone to talk to and feeling comfortable around them is quite beautiful, and it's a good feeling.

Twenty-four.
Lollipops turn into cigarettes. The innocent ones turn into sluts. Homework goes in the trash. Mobile phones are being used in class. Detention becomes suspension. Soda becomes vodka. Bikes become cars. Kisses turn into sex. Remember when getting high meant swinging on the playground? When protection meant wearing a helmet? When the worst things you could get from boys were cooties? Dad's shoulders were the highest place on earth and Mom was your hero? Your worst enemies were your siblings. Race issues were about who ran the fastest. War was only a card game. And the only drug you knew was cough medicine. When wearing a skirt didn't make you a slut. The most pain you felt was when you skinned your knees, and goodbyes only meant until tomorrow? And we couldn't wait to grow up.

Twenty-five.
You over-think things. You say, "What if we're not meant to be?" Well you know what? So what. Make a mistake with me. Nobody goes through this life and does everything perfectly. We're all going to fail, so you might as well make a mistake with me. Sometimes when we take a chance that has this much at stake, we look back and in hindsight what seemed wrong looks more right. So I say worse case, we'll be left with a lot of good memories. This chance we have, well it's worth that, so come on. I'm telling you, the right thing to do is make a mistake with me.

Twenty-six.
Don't ever hold my hand if you are going to let it go. Don't ever say, "I love you," if you are going to leave me alone.

Twenty-seven.
The best kinds of laughter: laughing so hard your laugh becomes silent, laughing so hard you feel a six-pack developing, laughing so hard tears spill out of your eyes.

Twenty-eight.
I saw something today that reminded me of you, but don't worry, I flushed it.

Twenty-nine.
When things aren't working out the way you wish, be patient. Stop trying to move ahead of God. His timing is perfect, trust me.

Thirty.
That's what innocence is, you know. A blissful oblivion of what's coming, of what you'll lose and what you'll gain, and what kind of a person you'll grow up to be.

Thirty-one.
I don't care why you came into my life, only that you did. I don't remember all the things I did wrong. I remember what I did right. I remember you. You made my life meaningful. You made my life special.

Thirty-two.
There are some things that I'll never understand. I'll never understand the goosebumps I get when first stepping into hot water. I'll never understand the dreams I have with strangers in them, people I've never met or seen. I'll never understand how a person can keep going back to the ones who hurt them. But what I do understand is that once we do understand everything, the world loses its shine. Curiosity killed the cat, but the cat had nine lives.

Thirty-three.
Sometimes, life hands you a chance. It hands you something amazing, you almost think it's a dream, but no matter how much you pinch yourself, you don't wake up. It's moments like those that make life really worth living, because no matter how hard times get, there are always those miracle moments that life you back on your feet.

Thirty-four.
And you know, Disney really fucked it up for me. Lifetime movies and every single thing about love on TV and in books has given me the wrong impression. I look at every man and I see potential. But none of them have this ideal version of love like I have had all my life. I keep looking at love like it should make the world stop, like you should lose your breath with the person, but it never really happens like that, does it? Because in the end, life isn't a movie. You live, you love, you die, there is no grand plan to it all. There's just this.

Thirty-five.
The span of three or four minutes is pretty insignificant in the scheme of things. people lose hundreds of minutes every day, squandering them on trivial things. But sometimes in those fragments of time, something can happen you'll remember the rest of your life.

Thirty-six.
So you want to be happy? Then stop letting the smallest things ruin your whole entire day. If you're bored with your daily routine, do something unexpected. Stop complaining about how alone you are when you're surrounded by people who actually care about you. Forget all the drama and let go of all the grudges you've been holding. Take a risk for once. Let yourself be happy, because you deserve it.

Thirty-seven.
Nothing is more beautiful than a smile that has struggled through tears.

Thirty-eight.
When they knock you down, you not only have to get up, but you have to make it clear that you won't be knocked down a second time.

Thirty-nine.
There’s a bright light shining inside you, it shines out through your eyes. Don’t drown it away, don’t be afraid, don’t hide. Let it shine.

Forty.
I keep thinking that if things get too hard you will give up on me. But you never do. And you never will. If I ever need you ever, you are there.

Got our friends, got the night, we'll be alright.
Hey guys! :)
Hope you are enjoying these long June nights, I sure am!
40 quotes, 40 pictures. Enjoy! :)
xoxo

One.
I won't give my heart to anyone but if you're brave enough, you can try to steal it.

Two.
Every girl is beautiful, including you. Maybe not in what you look like or what you do, but just in what you are.

Three.
If you consider giving up on someone, you probably already have.

Four.
"True love doesn't mean being inseparable, it means being separated and nothing changes."

Five.
People will judge you by your actions, not your intentions. You may have a heart of gold, but so does a hard-boiled egg.

Six.
You're still young. We both are. I think we just forget that sometimes.

Seven.
Shy on the streets, sexy in the sheets.

Eight.
I loved you since the very first day, when I caught you looking my way, I smiled and just knew it.

Nine.
Why do the hardest days seem to always last the longest?

Ten.
Anyone can make you happy by doing something special but only someone special can make you happy without doing anything.

Eleven.
Each night I put my head on my pillow and try to tell myself I'm strong. Because I've gone another day without you.

Twelve.
He knows the real me. The me that prefers to stay home on the weekends to play the play station and eat ice cream and pizza. The me that runs around in an old t-shirt and my hair a mess. But he actually likes the real me.

Thirteen.
You walk down your packed high school hallways everyday. You pass hundreds of people you have never talked to, ex best friends and boyfriends. you pass the people that hate you and most importantly, love you to death. If you could just freeze everyone and finally slow down time to look around. Do you finally notice the kids that never had an equal chance? What about the beautiful popular girls that get all the boys, are they truly happy or is it all an act? And then look at yourself. Are you happy with who you are becoming or has high school turned you into someone you promised you would never be? Take a good look at your reflection before you judge anyone else: be the person you want to be. Forget what everyone else tells you, just be who you are.

Fourteen.
I've been making a list of the things that they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.

Fifteen.
We had a lot going for us. We'd found the secret glue that held all things together. In a perfect place, where the noise did not intrude, our world was so very complete.

Sixteen.
I don't need some elaborate apology. I don't need you to play me our song in front of all our friends, or just me. I don't need you to wait outside my class with a dozen roses. I just need you to tell me simply that you're fucking sorry, and that you need me as much as I need you.

Seventeen.
Some day you're gonna have a baby and you're gonna feel overwhelmed by this little life that you're responsible for and you're gonna think and worry that everything you do is wrong, and that's normal. You're gonna obsess about what to feed it, and where to send it to school, and whether it should take violin or piano. But, I'm gonna let you in on a little old secret: It doesn't matter. Whether your kid is a concert pianist or a math genius, it doesn't matter, because at the end of the day all that matters is if your kid is happy.

Eighteen.
Don't count the days, make the days count.

Nineteen.
No matter how frightened and discouraged I may become about the future, I look forward to it. In spite of everything I see all around me every day, I have a shaky assurance that everything will turn out fine; and I don't think I'm the only one. Why else would the phrase "Everything is alright" ease a troubled place in so many of us? We just don't know, we never know, yet we have so much faith. We hold our hands over our hurts and lean forward. It is how we keep on, this kind of hope.

Twenty.
Some people bring out the worst in you, others bring out the best, and then there are those remarkably rare, addictive ones who just bring out the most. Of everything. They make you feel so alive that you'd follow them straight into hell, just to keep getting your fix.

Twenty-one.
Your ex asking to be friends after a break up is like kidnappers asking you to "keep in touch" after letting you go.

Twenty-two.
Do not chase a man, under any circumstances.

Twenty-three.
Sometimes the person you'd take the bullet for is the one behind the gun.

Twenty-four.
Where did you meet your new girl? The animal shelter?

Twenty-five.
Be careful who you call your friends...I'd rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

Twenty-six.
Your birth certificate is an apology letter from the condom factory.

Twenty-seven.
If you have a problem with someone, speak to them directly. It's not just about maturity, but also your own character.

Twenty-eight.
Those who are careless once cared too much.

Twenty-nine.
Stupid conversations make sense when you're talking to someone special.

Thirty.
Girls spend way too much time trying to look nice and not enough time trying to act nice.

Thirty-one.
Every relationship is messed up. What makes it perfect is if you still want to be there when things really suck.

Thirty-two.
Getting in an argument is like being arrested; everything you say can and will be used against you.

Thirty-three.
That moment when you have so much stuff to do, but you decide to take a long nap instead.

Thirty-four.
Because that's what life is about. It's about the time when you lay in the grass next to those you love, whether it be a boy, or a girl, a lover, or a friend, a stranger, or family. It's about the color of the sky. It's about a roaring fire on a winter's evening. You've got to realize that everybody bleeds and that everybody hurts. Everybody laughs and everybody smiles. That's what it's all about. That's all it is. There is no set meaning of life, there is nothing that can be defined, or written. It's a matter of sculpting your very own definition.

Thirty-five.
People want to be liked. We all crave attention and affection and we all reject shame. When we get embarrassed we send a thug version of ourselves to the forefront to do our fighting for us. We're at the top of the food chain just under fear. We don't want to be in a relationship to hear the words "I love you", we want to be in a relationship to say the words "I love you." We want to feel needed, and exceptional and we hate feeling insignificant. We want to ace a hearing test. We are binary creatures, if we're plaintiff, we want to win every dollar. If we're the defendant, we want to guard every penny. We want to make more money than last year. We don't want to get cancer or die in our cars and we want the same for our loved ones. We go out on weekends to try and have sex while trying not to get punched in the face. We drink so we can be ourselves and not mind it so much. We're desperate to be understood. We want to know someone else has felt it, too. We hate being judged unfairly. We want to make the person we heart wasn't all that into us change their minds and admit they had us wrong. We want sunny skies with a chance of killer tornadoes, just to keep the music sounding good. We take hours upon hours to admit to self conciousness. We don't know exactly how to please each other. We just want love. In any and every form.

Thirty-six.
The thing is, you make me happy. You walked in when it seemed like the rest of the world walked out. You were there, you are there. I never need to pretend when I'm around you, when I'm talking, when I'm with you. You're hilarious; you make me laugh all the time. You seem to pick up when something's wrong before everyone else does and you know exactly what to say to make it all okay, and even if it's only for a little while, it helps. The thing is, I love you. Thank you for everything.

Thirty-seven.
"I was smiling yesterday, I am smiling today and I will smile tomorrow simply because life is too short to cry for anything."

Thirty-eight.
I want to be with you, I just want to be with you. If I could hold your hand for the rest of my life, I would never be scared again. I want to hold you tight and I want to tell you every second how much you mean to me because nobody has ever meant more. I want to be able to help you and make you smile, just like you make me smile.

Thirty-nine.
Sometimes we'll be piled on the couch wearing sweats, eating the kind of ice cream we like, watching our favorite TV show, talking the shorthand way we talk that nobody understands, and I'll realize that this is every day, simple, no big deal moment. This is my happiness.

Forty.
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.

Those who fly solo have the strongest wings
Hey guys! :)
Happy Father's Day! Have a great day either being with, thinking of, or remembering your daddy.
40 quotes, 40 pictures. Enjoy!
xoxo

One.
Safe to say that when you find the best, the past really means nothing.

Two.
Finding someone isn't about trying to change yourself into a perfect image of what you think they want. It's about being exactly who you are and then finding a person who appreciates that.

Three.
Women only need 3.5 inches to reach maximum pleasure. Yes...it's called a credit card.

Four.
If they disrespect their mother, there's a good chance they'll disrespect you too.

Five.
If you act like a 'princess,' don't be surprised when guys only want to look at you not put up with you.

Six.
Every boy wants a good girl to be bad just for him and ever girl wants a bad boy to be good just for her.

Seven.
When you find the right one, you'll be thankful it never worked out with anyone else in the past.

Eight.
I will bring you the mountains, write your name across the sky. Anything that you need I will try to find, so won't you take my hand, take my heart. Promise to never stop dancing once we start.

Nine.
You keep telling me to be glad for what we had while we had it. That the brightest flame burns quickest. Which means you saw us as a candle. And I saw us as the sun.

Ten.
You didn't catch my eye right away, I won't deny this, but once you did, I swear I couldn't look away.

Eleven.
The way we get to live forever is through memories stored in the hearts and souls of those whose lives we touch. That's our soul print. It's our comfort, our emotional nourishment at the end of the day and the end of a life. How wonderful that they are called up at will and savored randomly. It seems to me we should spend our lives in a conscious state of creating these meaningful moments that live on. Memories matter.

Twelve.
Romeo and Juliet was not a love story. It's a three-day relationship between a 13 year old and a 17 year old that caused 6 deaths. Sincerely, everyone that actually read it.

Thirteen.
True love stories should never have a happy ending because true love stories never end.

Fourteen.
There are friends, there is family, and then there are friends that become family.

Fifteen.
A simple ‘bye’ could make us cry, a simple ‘joke’ could make us laugh, and a simple ‘care’ can make us fall in love.

Sixteen.
I’m not a morning person, but if I woke up every morning next to you, I would be.

Seventeen.
Be with someone who knows exactly what they have when they have you, not someone who realizes it after they’ve lost you.

Eighteen.
I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back.

Nineteen.
Eventually you have to admit to yourself, that you are not happy, that you are not okay, that you are hurt. You have to accept that being strong isn’t always the answer and it’s okay to cry.

Twenty.
Is anybody really satisfied with who they are? You could be the moon and be jealous of the stars.

Twenty-one.
No one is ever too old for fairytales.

Twenty-two.
Stop acting like you are perfect, all bitches got glitches.

Twenty-three.
Promise me. That’s all I want. Just promise me that you’ll never forget me. Tell me I changed you somehow. Let me know that I had an impact on your life. Promise me that you’ll always remember me. Losing you was hard enough, but I don’t want to go on knowing I mean absolutely nothing to you.

Twenty-four.
Every passing minute is a chance to turn it all around.

Twenty-five.
Friends are the family we choose.

Twenty-six.
The easier it is to do, the harder it is to change.

Twenty-seven.
You’re my idea of perfection. Everything about you just makes me want to love you.

Twenty-eight.
One day you’ll meet a guy. And ultimately, he’s going to find out. How you chew, how you sip, how you dance, how you smell at every point in the day. The fact that most of your friends are shallow. How your face looks underneath all the makeup. How you love chocolate, how you can be hyper at some times, how certain games and shows make you really happy. How cranky you can get when you’re tired, how you think you look bad in all your Facebook photos. He’s going to know everything about you. And you know what? He’s still going to love you.

Twenty-nine.
Happiness is never stopping to think if you are.

Thirty.
You should have a guy who makes you happier not more upset. I don’t think that is too much to ask for.

Thirty-one.
Don’t say you love somebody and then change your mind. Love isn’t like picking out what movie you want to watch.

Thirty-two.
The reason why playground slides are made is for us to experience the joy of falling even if there is no one there to catch us.

Thirty-three.
When love hurts, it really does hurt. Your body gets all sore. Your heart pumps too much blood. Your eyes never seem to stop crying and your head always seems to always keep hurting. So tell me again, why do we want love so bad?

Thirty-four.
There is always going to be that one thing you wish for but never get. That one mistake you wish you can erase but can never take back. And most of all, that one memory you would do anything for, just to have it again.

Thirty-five.
Single? No, I’m just in a relationship with freedom.

Thirty-six.
It’s easier to turn a friendship into love than it is to turn love into a friendship.

Thirty-seven.
You are the greatest thing that has ever happened to me.

Thirty-eight.
Sometimes you fight for things that aren’t worth fighting for, but you do it anyways so you don’t have to accept that it’s not worth fighting for.

Thirty-nine.
Never sacrifice who you are just because someone has a problem with it.

Forty.
If you know me, you know that if you treat me right, I will treat you better. But if you treat me bad, I will treat you worse.
