Sometimes it seems the harder you try to hold onto something or someone the more it wants to get away. You feel like some kind of criminal for having felt, for having wanted. For having wanted to be wanted. It confuses you because you think that your feelings were wrong and it makes you feel so small because it’s so hard to keep it inside when you let it out and it doesn’t come back. You’re left so alone that you can’t explain. — Henry Rollins

Happiness is just outside my window
Would it crash blowing 80-miles an hour?
Or is happiness a little more like knocking
On your door, and you just let it in?

Happiness feels a lot like sorrow
Let it be, you can’t make it come or go
But you are gone- not for good but for now
Gone for now feels a lot like gone for good

Happiness is a firecracker sitting on my headboard
Happiness was never mine to hold
Careful child, light the fuse and get away
‘Cause happiness throws a shower of sparks

Happiness damn near destroys you
Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor
So you tell yourself, that’s enough for now
Happiness has a violent roar

Happiness is like the old man told me
Look for it, but you’ll never find it all
Let it go, live your life and leave it
Then one day, wake up and she’ll be home

-The Fray

I kinda miss the bond we shared. I mean, who wouldn’t miss that comfortable feeling with a person. Where we could talk for hours about everything, anything and not have a problem with the silence in the middle. Can’t forget all the ridiculous stuff we did. Stupid or not, everything was just so fun. Endless nights, real talks, the “remember whens,” I remember it all. And it’s funny what life does, how it could just give you things and take it away so soon. I really can’t get it to my head that you grow distant from people and that good things come to an end sooner or later. But along the way I learned one thing about life; it goes on, you just gotta pick yourself up and learn to keep up.

Things don’t always work out as planned and in the midst of confusion, we often wonder how things could ever be right again. But life has a way of working out, sometimes better than we could ever imagine, surpassing all of our dreams and expectations.

Inspired by C.Preu

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little

You walk around here thinking you're not pretty
But that's not true, cause I know you

Tell them how the crowds went wild
Tell them how our hope it shined


But I know I had the best day
With you today


Why would you wanna make the very first scar?
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?


You smile that beautiful smile and
All the girls in the front row scream your name


May these memories break or fall
Will you take a moment, promise me this
That you'll stand by my forever


Your little hand's wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight


And you got your share of secrets
And I'm tired of being last to know
And now you're asking me to listen
Cause it's worked each time before
And you can tell me that you're sorry
But I don't believe you baby
Like I did before

I'm only me when I'm with you


Long live the walls we crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you


You're beautiful
Every little piece love, don't you know
You're really gonna be someone, ask anyone


I said remember this feeling
I passed the pictures around
Of all the years that we stood there
On the side-lines wishing for right now


So I start a fight cause I need to feel something
And you do what you want cause I'm not what you wanted

When people can walk away from you, let them walk. Don’t try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, caring for you, or staying attached to you. When people can walk away, let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.

Truth is still absolute. Believe that. Even when that truth is hard and cold, and more painful than you've ever imagined. And even when truth is more cruel than any lie. - Lucas Scott

The more you get attached, the more you’ll end up getting hurt.

Do you know what happens when you hurt people? They begin to love you less and the worst is, they may begin to forget that they loved you once.

Never leave the person who understands you more than anyone else, someone you can talk to about everything and someone who will stand next to you even with your unwanted attitude.

When someone asks me, “How’s your love life?”

Feelings don’t go away in an instant. You can’t force yourself to stop liking someone, but you can tell yourself that you deserve better and try to move on.

"I never knew until that moment how bad it could hurt to lose something you never really had."
- The Wonder Years

At some point you will realize that you have done too much for someone or something, that the only next possible step to do is to stop. Leave them alone. Walk away. It’s not like you’re giving up, and it’s not like you shouldn’t try. It’s just that you have to draw the line of determination from desperation. What is truly yours would eventually be yours, and what is not, no matter how hard you try, will never be.

The feeling you get when you see your friends are doing something without you.

"Never love anybody who treats you like you’re ordinary."
-Oscar Wilde

"Somewhere in between all the mind games, lies and seduction - I fell for you. Somewhere in between all the broken promises, manipulation, and heart aches - I got over you. But I guess I fibbed a few times too; remember all those times I swore I needed you? - well consider them lies; because babe, here I am without you and I survived."
-Lil Wayne

I hate this feeling when I can feel myself and others slowly drifting apart and I’m trying to hold onto everybody but they aren’t holding on to me as tightly. At the same time, other people are reaching out to me and I’m pushing them away so I keep holding on to people who probably aren’t even worth it to begin with.

Forgiveness is never easy. Bitterness is easy, hatred is easy. But forgiveness, that is a tough one. Sometimes people say things they don’t mean or do things they can’t take back. Sometimes we do things we can’t take back.
