Summer!

It's been so long since I last updated haha. Some of these may be repeated simply because I don't remember what's new and what's not. But hey, it's the thought that counts. Haha, I'm such a dork...

"This world will never be what I expected. And if I don't belong, who would have guessed it? I will not leave alone everything that I own to make you feel like it's not too late, it's never too late... Even if I say it'll be alright, still I hear you say you want to end your life. Now and again we try to just stay alive. Maybe we'll turn it all around, 'cause it's not too late, it's never too late." -Three Days Grace

"I'm looking down now that it's over, reflecting on all of my mistakes. I thought I found the road to somewhere... But I'm down to one last breath. And with it let me say... Hold me now, I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking, maybe six feet ain't so far down." -Creed

"We've seen our share of ups and downs. Oh how quickly life can turn around in an instant. It feels so good to reunite, within yourself and within your mind. Let's find peace there... When you are with me, I'm free. I'm careless, I believe. Above all the others we'll fly, this brings tears to my eyes, my sacrifice." -Creed

"I am a new day rising. I'm a brand new sky to hang the stars upon tonight. I am a little divided: do I stay or run away and leave it all behind? It's times like these you learn to live again. It's times like these you give and give again. It's times like these you learn to love again. It's times like these time and time again." -Foo Fighters

"We are the music makers,

And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;—
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems." -Arthur O'Shaughnessy

"Thomas J. Sennett: 'What do you think it's like?'

Vada Sultenfuss: 'What?'
Thomas J. Sennett: 'Heaven.'
Vada Sultenfuss: 'I think... everybody gets their own white horse and all they do is ride them and eat marshmallows all day. And everybody's best friends with everybody else. When you play sports, there's no teams, so nobody gets picked last.'
Thomas J. Sennett: 'But what if you're afraid to ride horses?'
Vada Sultenfuss: 'Doesn't matter 'cause they're not regular horses. They've got wings. And it's no big deal if you fall 'cause you'll just land in a cloud.'" -My Girl

"Did she make you cry, make you break down, shatter your illusions of love? Is it over now, do you know how? Pick up the pieces and go home." -Fleetwood Mac

"I'm losing you and it's effortless." -The Fray

"Don't you worry your pretty little mind, people throw rocks at things that shine and life makes love look hard. The stakes are high, the water's rough, but this love is ours." -Taylor Swift

"There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened." -Douglas Adams

"Start out depressed, everything comes as a pleasant surprise... When it rains, I don't mind being lonely, I cry right along with the sky. When it rains, I don't pretend to be happy, I don't even have to try. When it rains, some people get down to sportin' a frown, so I fit right in. Yeah, the sun may brighten your day but if I had my way I'd take the rain." -Eli Young Band

"You made yourself a bed at the bottom of the blackest hole, and you'll sleep 'til May. You'll say that you don't want to see the sun anymore... Take these chances to turn it around. Take these chances, we'll make it somehow." -Paramore

"Well you built up a world of magic, because your real life is tragic... If it's not real, you can't hold it in your hand, you can't feel it with your heart, and I won't believe it. But if it's true, you can see it with your eyes, even in the dark, and that's where I want to be." -Paramore

"Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer. Do you know you're unlike any other? You'll always be my thunder, and I said, 'Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors. I don't wanna ever love another. You'll always be my thunder.' So bring on the rain, and bring on the thunder." -Boys Like Girls

"Maybe we like the pain. Maybe we're wired that way. Because without it, I don't know; maybe we just wouldn't feel real. What's that saying? 'Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer? Because it feels so good when I stop.'" -Grey's Anatomy

"And it's two bare feet on the dashboard. Young love and an old Ford, cheap shades and a tattoo and a Yoohoo bottle on the floorboard. Perfect song on the radio, sing along 'cause it's one we know. It's a smile, it's a kiss, it's a sip of wine, it's summertime. Sweet summertime." -Kenny Chesney

"It's all ending, I gotta stop pretending who we are. You and me, I can see us dying, are we?" -No Doubt

"Slow down... This night's a perfect shade of dark blue. Have you ever been alone in a crowded room when I'm here with you? I said the world could be burning down dark blue. Have you ever been alone in a crowded room? Well I'm here with you. I said the world could be burning 'til there's nothing but dark blue... Just dark blue." -Jack's Mannequin

"I'm just a girl, I'd rather not be, 'cause they won't let me drive late at night. Oh, I'm just a girl, guess I'm some kind of freak, 'cause they all sit and stare with their eyes. Oh, I'm just a girl, take a good look at me, just your typical prototype. Oh, I've had it up to here... I'm just a girl, I'm just a girl in the world. That's all that you'll let me be." -No Doubt

"Your wildness scares me, so does your freedom. You say you can't stand the restrictions. I find myself trying to change you. If you were meant to be my lover I wouldn't have to. And I feel so mean, I feel in between, 'cause I'm about to give you away." -No Doubt

"Dear, it took so long just to feel alright. Remember how to put back the light in my eyes. I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed, 'cause you broke all your promises. And now you're back, you don't get to get me back." -Christina Perri

"Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it." -Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Things change. And friends leave. And life doesn't stop for anybody." -The Perks of Being A Wallflower

"You wake up every morning wondering what the world's gonna do for you, wondering who's gonna bend over backwards, kiss your ass, and make you happy when you should just thank God for another day and leave it the fuck at that." -Dead Like Me

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone." -Audrey Hepburn

"Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night." -Edgar Allan Poe

"Seems like everybody's got a price, I wonder how they sleep at night. When the sale comes first, and the truth comes second, just stop for a minute and smile. Why is everybody so serious? Acting so damn mysterious, got your shades on your eyes and your heels so high that you can't even have a good time... We need to take it back in time when music made us all unite, and it wasn't low blows and video hoes. Am I the only one getting tired? Why is everybody so obsessed? Money can't buy us happiness. Can we all slow down and enjoy right now, guarantee we'll be feeling alright. Everybody look to their left, everybody look to their right. Can you feel that, yeah, we're paying with love tonight. It's not about the money, money, money. We don't need your money, money, money. We just wanna make the world dance, forget about the price tag." -Jessie J

"Show me something. Show me something the world hasn't shown me yet." -Wicked

Needless to say...

I had a lot of things I wanted to post today haha. I love having a blog :)

This could NOT describe me any more perfectly. Well said.

Inspiration

 "The older you get, the more rules they're gonna try to get you to follow. You just gotta keep on livin' man." -Dazed and Confused

"Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy. Lighten up while you still can. Don't even try to understand. Just find a place to make your stand, and take it easy." -The Eagles

"All I wanna do is let it be and be with you and watch the wind blow by. And all I wanna see is you and me go on forever like the clear blue sky. Slowly, there's only you and I. And all I wanna do is watch the wind blow by." -Tim McGraw

"Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, with open arms and open eyes." -Incubus

 “The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating...and you finish off as an orgasm." -George Carlin

"I want to love, I want to leave. I want you to love me, I want you to leave me. I want to stand where I can see, watching you love me. I'm watching you leave me now." -Yellowcard

"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on." -Robert Frost

"The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it... Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate.... Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." -Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Love is a homeless guy, searching for treasure in the middle of the rain and finding a bag of gold coins and then slowly finding out they're all filled with chocolate and, even though he's heartbroken, he can't complain 'cause he was hungry in the first place." -Bo Burnham

"It wasn't just any tree. It was an ancient Joshua tree. It stood in a crease of land where the desert ended and the mountain began, forming a wind tunnel. From the time the Joshua tree was a tiny sapling, it had been so beaten down by the whipping wind that, rather than trying to grow skyward, it had grown in the direction that the wind pushed it... One time I saw a tiny Joshua tree sapling growing not too far from the old tree. I wanted to dig it up and replant it near our house. I told mom that I would protect it from the wind and water it every day so that it could grow nice and tall and straight. Mom frowned at me. 'You'd be destroying what makes it special,' she said, 'It's the Joshua tree's struggle that gives it its beauty.'" -Jeannette Walls

"You can spend your whole life building something from nothing, and one storm can blow it all away. Build it anyway." -Martina McBride

"I am a new day rising. I'm a brand new sky to hang the stars upon tonight. I am a little divided; do I stay or run away and leave it all behind? It's times like these you learn to live again. It's times like these you give and give again. It's times like these you learn to love again. It's times like these time and time again." -Foo Fighters

"You know the Greeks didn't write obituaries. They only asked one question after a man died: 'Did he have passion?'" -Serendipity

"You know it's funny what a young man recollects. 'Cause I don't remember bein' born. I don't recall what I got for my first Christmas and I don't know when I went on my first outdoor picnic. But I do remember the first time I heard the sweetest voice in the wide world." -Forrest Gump

"But listen carefully to the sound of your loneliness. Like a heartbeat, drives you mad. In the stillness of remembering what you had, and what you lost." -Fleetwood Mac

"I'll watch the night turn light blue, but it's not the same without you, because it takes two to whisper quietly. The silence isn't so bad 'til I look at my hands and feel sad, 'cause the spaces between my fingers are right where yours fit perfectly." -Adam Young (Owl City)

"I guess when it comes down to it, being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up. These are the best days of our lives. The only thing that matters is just following your heart, and eventually you'll finally get it right." -The Ataris
