• We all remember the bedtime stories of our childhoods, the shoe fits cinderella, the frog turns into a prince, Sleeping beauty is awakened with a kiss. Once upon a time and then they lived happily ever after. Fairy tales the stuff of dreams.The problem is fairy tales don't come true. Its the other stories, the ones that begin with dark and stormy nights and end in the unspeakable. Its the nightmares that always seem to become reality.
  • ok here it is, your choice its simple, her or me and i'm sure she is really great but derek i love you, in a really really big pretend to like your taste in music let you eat the last piece of cheesecake hold a radio over my head outside your window unfortunateway that makes me hate you-love you. So pick me, choose me, love me.
  • Most of the time pain can be managed, but sometimes the pain gets you when you least expect it. Its way below the belt and doesn't let up. Pain you just have to fight through because you can't outrun it and life always makes more.
  • Sometimes you have to do the wrong thing, sometimes you have to make a big mistake, to figure out how to make things right. Mistakes are painful, but they're the only way to find out who you really are. I know who I am now, and i know what I want.
  • you gotta wonder why we cling to our expectations bcasue the expected is just what keeps us steady, standing still. THe expected is just the beginning. The unexpected is what changes our lives.
  • In the beginning god created the heaven and the earth, at least thats what they say, he created the birds of the air and the beasts of the fields, and he looked at his creation and he saw that it was good and then god created man, and its been downhill ever since
  • At some point you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So you can waste your life drawing lines, or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines that are way too dangerous to cross. Here's what I know: if you are willing to take the chance, the view from the other side is spectacular."
  • your life is a gift, accept it, no matter how screwed up or painful it seems to be. some things are going to work out as if they were destined to happen, as if they were just meant to be.
  • "Don't wonder why people go crazy. Wonder why they don't. In face of what we can lose in a day, in an instant, wonder what the hell it is that makes us hold it together."
  • Would it have helped if we had known what else was coming? Would we have known it was the best days of our lives?
  • We're all gonna die, we don't get much say over why or how or when, but we do get to decide how we're going to live, so do it. Decide. Is this the life you want to live? Is this a person you want to love? Is this the best you can be? Can you be stronger? Kinder? More compassionate? Decide. Breathe in, breathe out. And decide.
