Tomorrow is the first page of a 365 page book. Write a good one.

The marks humans leave are too often scars.

If you're mad, don't throw a punch, don't start a fire, don't shout about it. Sing it's the most powerful weapon you have.

Sometimes real life is darker than fiction.

Here's to love and loving just because.
Here's to acceptance and never fearing the fear of rejection.
Here's to love and never neglecting who you feel you are.
Here's to the moment you realize things do get better.
Here's to second chances, new fate and momentary doubt.
Here's to the shining bright star inside you, asking you to guide you.
Here's to who you'll be when you figure it all out.
Here's to feeling, because we all feel it the same.
Here's to the moment that things will change.

No matter what people think, it's ok to just be you.

Ideas are bulletproof

Don't meet your heroes.

I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is a calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kiss a lot. I believe in being strong, when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.

On the other side of fear lies freedom

The love that binds us is more important than the power we wield.

In life you always have a choice, but sometimes it's just easier to think that you don't.

I knew you'd be lovely. :)

Hope you're having an awesome day. ;P

The word "Death" is not pronounced in New York, in Paris, in London, because it burns the lips. The Mexican in contrast, is familiar with death, jokes about it, caresses it; it is one of his favorite toys and most steadfast love.

Number One Rule of the Universe

Before you can make other people happy, you have to be happy.

I am me.

I am human. I am young. I am tall. I am short. I am thin. I am fat. I am black. I am white. I am blond. I am brunette. I am rich. I am poor. I am a boy. I am a girl. I don't know. I am sexy. I am gay. I am bisexual. I am lesbian. I am straight. I am christian. I am jewish. I am muslim. I dream. I wish. I smile. I laugh. I cry. I hurt. I work. I play. I am a son. I am a daughter. I am a mother. I am a father. I make mistakes. I vote. I bleed. I love. I am here. I AM ME!

We're blaming society, yet we are society. So to make it a better place, we must change ourselves first.

What will you do when something stops you?
What will you say to the world?
What will you be when it all comes crashing down on you?
What would you do if you lost your beauty?
How would you deal with the light?
How would you feel if nobody chased you?
What if it happened tonight?
How would you cope if the world decided to make you suffer for all that you were?
How could you dance if no-one was watching and you couldn't even get off the floor?
What would you do if you couldn't even feel, not even pitiful pain?
How would you deal with the empty decisions, eating away at the days?

NCOD

If you did know it's National Coming Out Day. I'm Catholic and growing up I was always told that God doesn't like gays, so we shouldn't either. But I'm here to set my story straight. I LOVE EVERYONE! No matter if you gay straight, purple, orange or dinosaur I don't care. A teacher last set my class straight. Love the person, hate the action. But I wasn't put I wasn't put on this earth to judge, I was put here to love everyone. If you were put here to love too, let me know. I love you, thanks for taking time to read this, I'd give you a hug but I am a post on the internet (JK **INTERNET HUG**) Bye!!

Until Everyman is free we are all slaves.

Perception.

I actually titled this one. Perception: The ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through the senses. Life is all about perception. Now some of you may disagree with that, but that's your perception of life. My point is that what one person thinks could be different from another person. But another important factor is to know that no one is wrong in what they perceive. For example, there's this girl at my school who's a foreign exchange student and this other girl who's a little snooty. Now the foreign exchange student saw her and her friends (even though they hate each other) laughing and she thought they were laughing at her, that was her perception. The girl claimed she wasn't and told the foreign exchange student to shut up. Here's more perception, I thought the girl was being snobby and could have handled it a little better, a little nicer, which I told her. She, in turn, told me to shut up too. Which led the teacher to lecture us about how different cultures perceive and think things differently than we do. Perception affects life in so many ways.   

Every Saint has a past and every Sinner has a future.

An idea can still change the world.

sometimes the hardest things in life are the things most worth doing.

Sometimes you have to stop thinking so much and just go where your heart takes you.

How you make others feel about themselves, says a lot about you.

Everyone is on their own  personal journey seeking their own truth.

Sometimes we confuse contentment with happiness. we can't be happy all the time, it's unrealistic, but contentment is something more. it is being aware that even if our circumstances are not ideal, we still have many of the things we need. especially when we see so many who go without the many things we take for granted. Don't drive for happiness any more, strive for contentment, and find it when you don't lose your focus...

Human have a knack for choosing precisely the things that are worst for them.

Whether you're gay, straight, purple, orange or dinosaur; I don't care.

The trouble with trouble is, it starts out as fun.

"Okay here's the dealio, I can be sad all I want but when you're sad that's not okay. I will use my body and shield you from the sad and pat you on the cheeks if you even attempt to be sad and tell you how great you are. You make the best spaghetti, your jokes are funny, you have a cute butt and the way you cry over your tv shows is really adorable. I won't stand for the sad!!!"  

Dedicated to my best friend whom I miss so very much, love you Florida!!

The truth is stranger than fiction.

I'm sorry but I'm gonna go a little off topic today. So usually I find a quote on Pinterest that I like and I post it here, but today I was scrolling through and I started reading the comments and one of them caught my eye. "When you know your worth, no one can ever make you feel worthless," but the comment made everything seem even more true. We say that we know who we are and we know our worth and that's common sense, but we often have to repeat it to ourselves over and over again. But why do we have to keep reminding ourselves? We may only be human, but that shouldn't make us limited to not knowing, not remembering that we are worth it, even if it is you who doesn't believe it. You don't have to be perfect, you just have to believe that who you are is good for yourself and no one else. If someone doesn't like who you are, whether it's on the inside or the outside don't change for them, don't let them manipulate you into changing yourself. You are amazing the way you are.

The thing about chaos, is that while it disturbs us, it too forces our hearts to roar in a way we secretly find magnificent.

If you don't fight for something you want, you end up alone.

This is the beginning, of anything you want.

Dreams feel real while we're in them. It's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange.

There's always a story. Always a chain of events that makes everything make sense. There's always a story, you just have to find it.

The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad thing but vice versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant.

It's not about forcing happiness, it's about not letting the sadness win.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Maybe everything was meant to happen this way.

This is who I am. Nobody said you had to like it.

There comes a point in our life when we have to stop fooling ourselves into thinking life's gonna be the way we want it to be and start seeing thing for how they really are.

Never forget who you are because it will remind you of who you want to be.

Everything that has a beginning has an end. In between there is a process, a life. That process is personal development and your task in life is to develop yourself into the best that you can be.

WE are but sparks off  the fire we've started; We are but dancers in the night sky. Trace the ascent of affection and follow the fall into love. We are but sparks; we are but dancers.

There are three types of people in this world: Normal people, who do nothing; Mean people; and Generous, Caring people.

(I'm just saying... but a ten/ eleven year old told me this... he's kinda smart.)

There are people out there who care about you more than they care about themselves.

Isn't i funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back everything is different?

It's not the fear of moving on that scares me, it's the fear of never going back. They never told us just how much it would cost to choose in life. They never told us that even though you can move on from certain things, it may cost you your heart. These decisions we face may turn us into either saints or monsters, but it has to be worth more than becoming nothing at all.

The sun loved the moon so much he died every night to let her breath.

Talk about your blessings more than you talk about your burdens.

Butterflies are God's proof that we have a second life.

Nature can't evolve a species that hasn't a will to survive.

Don't underestimate people, all they really want is someone to believe in them, someone who will fight for what they want.

There's only one thing that will make them stop hating you. And that's being so good at what you do that they can't ignore you.

I walk slowly but, I never walk backwards.

"You just have to appreciate everything, that's one of the most important things in life really appreciating it, because we only get to do it once and it's not for a long time, so enjoy it.

Remember, anyone can love you when the sun is shining. In the storms is where you learn who truly care's for you.

When something goes wrong in your life, just yell, "Plot twist!" and move on.

Stay close to everything that makes you glad you're alive.

All journeys have secret destination in which the traveler is unaware.

Weird is a side- effect of Awesome.

Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable.

Trust your heart if the seas catch fire. Live by love though the stars walk backwards.

No man chooses evil because it is evil. He only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks

Life is a process and your participation is required.

Life, just show up!

People want to know how much you care. They don't care how much you know.

You can tell how smart people are by what they laugh at.

God will never leave you empty. He will replace everything you lost. If he asks you to put something down, it's because he wants you to pick up something greater.

Worrying is stupid. It's like walking around with an umbrella waiting for it to rain.

If you expect the world to be fair with you because you are fair, you are fooling yourself. That's like expecting the lion not to eat you because you didn't eat him.

The problem is not the problem; the problem is your attitude about the problem.

One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but it can never be taken away unless it is surrendered.

Hearts will never be practical until they are made unbreakable.

Never, ever, let anyone tell you what you can and can't do. Prove the cynics wrong. Pity them for the have no imagination. The sky's the limit. Your sky. Your limit. Now. Let's dance.
~ Tom Hiddleston

When achievers fail, they see a momentary event, not a lifelong epidemic.

Always trust your gut. It knows what your head hasn't figured out yet.

Love is giving someone the power to destroy you.... but trusting them not to.

Her feelings she hinds. Her dreams she can't find. She's losing her mind. She's fallen behind. She can't find her place. She's losing her faith. She's fallen from grace. She's all over the place.

If only you could sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.

Never let a man tell you you're not worth pursuing. For God became man, died and rose again just to pursue you. You are worth pursuing. You are beautiful. You are loved.

The truth is it's so much easier to say you're anti- social, or claim you just don't like people, or pretend  that you just don't care anymore than to admit how lonely and damaged you truly feel.

And if I could tell you one thing, it would be:
You are never as broken as you think you are. Sure, you have a couple of scars, and a couple of bad memories but then again all the great heroes do.

We are all just stories in the end.

Try.

We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.

In every villain's mind he is a hero.

There's a time and a place for everything, but the time is not now and the place is not here.

We spend so much of our lives not saying the things we want to say. The things we should say we speak in code and send little messages.

It doesn't matter who hurt you, or how broke you down, what matters is who made you smile again.

Whatever follows "I am", will come looking for you.

"It had long since come to my attention  that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things."

Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.

Respect is earned. Honesty is appreciated. Trust is gain. Loyalty is returned.

There are two ways to live your life- One is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is a miracle.

We are all a little broken... and that's okay.

Good things are coming down the road, just don't stop walking.

Never give up. There is no such thing as an ending. Just a new beginning.

Remember you don't need a certain number of friends, just a number of friends you can be certain of.

People who push the limits learn that the limits sometimes push back.

I'm sorry that I'm not perfect, but I'm not fake either.

Sometimes you have to remind yourself that you don't have to do what everyone else is doing.

"As someone told me lately: 'Everyone deserves a chance to fly.' And if I'm flying solo, at least I'm flying free."

"A life without meaning, without drive, without focus, without goals or dreams... isn't a life worth living. Life comes at you fast, it run through you body and tries to escapes and be expressed in any way possible. In a way, it's a lot like lightning."
~Struck By Lightning

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So, love the people who that treat you right and forget about the ones who don't. And believe that everything happens for a reason... if you get a chance- take it; if it changes you life- lit it. Nobody said that it would be easy... They just promised it would be worth it.

If you stay positive, you have a shot at a silver lining.

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.

Never let yourself be defined by someone else's opinion of you.

All good things are wild and free.

If we wait until we're ready, we'll be waiting for the rest of our lives.

No reputation is the best reputation.

I may not be right but I like to think that I am.

Sometimes when you say "I'm okay," all you want is someone to hug you and say "I know you're not."

I only have three words to say, "Killjoys Never Die."
