Maybe sometimes you have to stop waiting for someone to come along and fix what's wrong.

Maybe you have to stop feeling sorry for yourself and realize that no one else has the answer.

Maybe sometimes you just have to be your own hero.

go on

Don't let it break you.

No matter how hard it is.

Life goes on.

All we can do is to live it to the fullest

Don't shield yourself from pain,

never fear pain either.

Face whatever it is that comes your way.

Don't be afraid to stumble and fall,

to cry and get hurt.

Dread not those helpless moments,

when you can't even fight your tears back,

and all you can do is stare at something and let time pass.

You can only understand happiness after you've felt pain.

Life is not fair,

it never was,

and it won't ever be.

All we can do is to live it to the fullest.

maybe both

I don't know if we each have a destiny,

or if we're all just floatin' around accidental-like on a breeze.

But I,

I think maybe it's both,

maybe both happening at the same time.

--Forrest Gump

go on

Good memories tell you that your past was worth it,

bad ones tell you that you were strong enough

to go on.

until

Sometimes you need to experience the bad to be grateful for the good;

to have the worst to appreciate the best;

to know what it feels like to have nothing until it's given.

And yet sometimes you'll never know what you got until you lost it.

And you'll never know what you're missing until it arrives.

Keep going

I am grateful that somehow we are made,

in the most trying of times,

to just block out everything and KEEP GOING,

even when you have no idea what to do or how it will all work out.

There is such a fine,

thin edge between life and death,

and I'm also grateful that we're able to forget about that,

for the most part,

in our day to day lives.

-Sarah Dessen

self worth

Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth.

Only you can be responsible for that.

If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen.

Accept who you are - completely;

the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit,

not because you think someone else wants you to be different.

~Stacey Charter

in the meantime

There will come a time when you realize

where you are is not where you want to be;

when you know that nothing is wrong but it

just feels like something isn't quite right that time,

that place we're calling that- 'IN THE MEANTIME'

Matchbox 20

Hurt is a funny thing.

Even though it makes you feel weak inside,

it actually makes you stronger.

never-ending search

The truth is, I probably don't want to be too happy or content,

'cause then what?

I actually like the quest, the search.

That's the fun.

The more lost you are,

the more you have to look forward to.

What do you know?

I'm having a great time

and I don't even know it."

~ Ally Mcbeal

hello sunshine!

We all get blinded by our desperate acts of finding who we are.

There’s no way for us to ever find ourselves if we are too busy looking for someone else that isn’t us.

Learn to appreciate the YOU in you and after a while you’ll really see that your place under the sun isn’t really so far away-

it’s just around the corner, waiting for you to say hello.

work it out!

You've got to shake yourself out of that VICTIM mentality

and start having a VICTORY mentality.

This is a new day.

Your future can start right now.

It doesn't matter what you've been through,

or how they treated you;

GOD WANTS TO TURN ALL THAT AROUND.

So work it out! =)

The White Queen

You don't have to live your life the way other people expect you to; it has to be your CHOICE...'cause when you'll step up to defeat the monster, you'll step up ALONE..." ~ White Queen

she deserved the world

We could only wonder how she would be able to dust herself off and start over...

& felt ever more optimistic that after all her struggles,

she would someday meet her man, her equal:

a man with the same charisma,

love of life,

& humanity she possessed.

In the meantime,

she'd have her friends.

And the knowledge

that she deserved the world." ~Sex & the City

it's a matter of chance and choice

Not everything falls on "it's a matter of choice.."

It's more of "it's a matter of chance and choices".

Sometimes, the chance is right in front of us but we're just to blind to see or undecided to grab it.

At times, when we're finally going to make a choice, it's already too late and we can't do anything about it anymore.

Bottom line, we always have a choice, it's that the chance that's not always there to wait.

So be alert, the moment it pass out of your hand, you'll never have the chance to get it back

a thought from a broken heart

I’ll dine with my family… and with my beautiful friends. I’ll text them and say I love them for taking care of me… go out with them, watch movies, eat lots and lots of ice-cream, write blogs, cook spaghetti, have fun, pamper myself, maybe plan to have a great escape from work, reach my dreams, travel, and maybe someday, when God senses I am strong enough to enter into a commitment, I’ll meet that someone who can promise that my tears will be worthwhile shedding and could promise me that no matter how many beautiful girls he meets and sees, he would still come home and tell me sincerely that I am his perfect match- and that’s something worth looking forward to.

Learn...

Learn…
that when you plan to get even with someone, you’re only letting that person continue to hurt you.

Learn…
that ignoring the facts do not change it.

Learn…
that the easiest way to grow as a person is to surround yourself with people smarter than you are.

Learn…
That no one is perfect until you fall in love with them.

And learn…
that life is tough but you can be tougher.

lingering limbo

Between an uncertain yes and a definite no,

always settle for the latter for it gives one the direction where to head.

The former only sets one in a space where you can

neither sit or stand,

run or walk,

talk or be silent.

Always go for certainty,

life has much to offer that lingering in limbo.
