Guess what? Quotes. &Pictures.

It was the sort of beauty you feel so deeply it becomes contagious and somehow makes you feel beautiful too.

 

For now we are young, let us lay in the sun and count every beautiful thing we can see

 

"The suns always up somewhere", she said.
"And even a broken clocks right twice a day." 

 

 

  And everything you were ever restless about, anything that had ever given you angst is quieted to stillness.

It was one of those uncommon moments. Those times when you don't wish for something else. For even one thing to be different. When you have no other needs and no worriers. Where your insides are calm.

Sometimes I think that we waste our words,
we waste our moments and we don't take the time
to say the things that are in our hearts
when we have the chance.

Every so often I can hardly remember the sound of your voice or the awkward rhythm in your walk, I'm losing you all over again

Memories are silent things.

be thin. get straight a's. play a sport and be good at it. have a job. get into a good college. have a social life. have a boyfriend. the list is endless. screw being perfect. who created this standard for what the perfect teenage girl is supposed to be like? i don't know. but someone has got to end it. so starting now, be what you want. be anything but perfect because perfect cannot be achieved and doesn't exist. 

because sometimes people do actually feel that way. sometimes your life feels like its caving in on you. sometimes people really do feel like they don't want to exist, like they want to just curl up in a ball, and go into that place between life and death. saying "i don't want to exist" isn't saying "i want to go die". it's saying "i wish that, for the time being, i could go somewhere and not have to feel". i don't think there's anything wrong with that. and if you don't know how it feels to feel this way, then you have no place to judge anyone who does.

i needed to know that i meant something, anything to you. but what i got was nothing, absolutely nothing. and it's funny the things you realize when someone walks away. at first you feel as though it's your fault. feeling like nothing, so close to falling apart. and then, in time, you come to the realization that you did nothing wrong. that it's his loss, that you are so much better without that one boy who didn't ever care. you live and you learn, that's how it is.

i can't promise to always be there. and i can't promise to be your happiness. but i can promise to take care of you. and i can promise to be all that i can be. and i can promise that i'll try my best.

i'm gonna smile more than i should and laugh more than i knew i could. and when they ask me why, i'll tell them that i don't wanna die dead.

it's amazing. people grow so used to the dark, they start to like it. the curtains blocking out the light are comforting to them. the dark makes them happy. but really it's just an illusion. when the curtains are gone, and everything's light, you see things you never even knew where there, and you really start to appreciate them. of course, they were there before, but you never took the time to look.

we go to school every day. we learn pointless things, but we are never taught how to love ourselves. we aren't taught how to make moments last. but i think the most unfair thing, is that at the end of high school, we are tested on something that we were never taught. we have to stand in front of each other and say goodbye.

there's no such thing as a grown up. we move on, we move out, we move away from our families and form our own, but the basic insecurities, the basic fears and all those old wounds just grow up with us. we get bigger, we get taller, we get older, but for the most part, we're still a bunch of kids running around the playground trying desperately to fit in.

-grey's anatomy

so now, all alone or not, you gotta walk ahead. thing to remember is if we're all alone, then we're all together in that too.

-p.s. i love you

it doesn't matter anymore; i guess things happen for a reason. tears eventually fade and one day everything will be exactly how it's supposed to be. moving on is a process and you have to promise yourself that you're really ready to let go.

wow, this definitely had a mixture of emotions in it...oh well! haha (:

Quotes and Photography

-Might I add, none are by me! :P


Life is wonderful. God controls it even
when you think it's lost direction.
You may feel you're going down hill,
but that may be the path upstream.
The truth of the matter is that even
though we don't know where our lives are going,
God did before we even started the journey.

Let everything that has breath praise
the LORD. Praise the LORD.
-- Psalm 150:6

 

Crying doesn't indicate that you're weak.
Since birth, it has always been a sign
that you are, in fact, alive.
It's okay to not be okay when things
go wrong. But trust that no matter how
many cracks you feel, it will heal.

Better a poor man whose walk is blameless
than a rich man whose ways are perverse.
-- Proverbs 28:6

If you want to find happiness that will last,
set yourself free from the ghosts of the past.

You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble and
surround me with songs of deliverance.
-- Psalm 32:7

Life is fragile, handle with prayer.

Sometimes, we have to let go of what
we want for what we deserve. We can't
always see where the road ahead leads,
but God guarantees there's something
better down it if we just trust in him.

But he said to me,
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my
power is made perfect in weakness."
-- 2 Corinthians 12:9

You're way too young with way too much
life ahead of you to ever believe it won't be okay.

Live in such a way that those who
know you but don't know God will come
to know God because they know you.

And this is my prayer: that your love
may abound more and more in knowledge
and depth of insight, so that you may be
able to discern what is best and may be
pure and blameless until the day of Christ,
-- Philippians 1:9-10

He who kneels before God
can stand before anything.

Every single person has at least
one secret that would break your heart.
If we could just remember this,
I think there would be a lot more
compassion and tolerance in the world.

God is doing a greater work in us,
and that can only come as we learn
to trust him no matter how dark the
days and sleepless the nights.

For it is not those who hear the law who
are righteous in God’s sight, but it is
those who obey the law who will
be declared righteous.
-- Romans 2:13

Draw a line, and live above it.

Then I said to you, “Do not be terrified;
do not be afraid of them. The LORD your God,
who is going before you, will fight for you,
as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes,
and in the desert. There you saw how the LORD
your God carried you, as a father carries his son,
all the way you went until you reached this place.
-- Deuteronomy 1:29-31

How great you are, O Sovereign LORD!
There is no one like you,
and there is no God but you.
-- 2 Samuel 7:22

Just wait your turn, and always try to learn
to love the ones who don't show love in return.
We're just trying to find some color in this
black and white world. Tell me everything will
be alright, walk this way with me into the night.
'Cause you can let it slide, baby just for tonight,
just know that everyone feels broken sometimes.

When times are good, be happy;
but when times are bad, consider:
God has made the one as well as the other.
Therefore, a man cannot discover
anything about his future.
-- Ecclesiastes 7:14

But you know happiness can be found
even in the darkest of times, when one
only remembers to turn on the light.

Therefore, since we are receiving
a kingdom that cannot be shaken,
let us be thankful, and so worship
God acceptably with reverence and awe
-- Hebrews 12:28

To understand is to forgive,
even oneself.

Remain in me, and I will remain in you.
No branch can bear fruit by itself;
it must remain in the vine.
Neither can you bear fruit unless
you remain in me.
-– John 15:4

We are given a clean canvas,
the rest; the beautiful design,
is up to you.

Your fears are not walls, but hurdles.
Courage is not the absence of fear,
but the conquering of it.

Sometimes it's easy to feel like you're the only
one in the world who’s struggling, who's frustrated,
or unsatisfied at barely getting by.
But, that feeling is a lie and if you just hold on;
just find the courage to face it all for another day,
someone or something will find the way and
make it all okay. Because we all need a little help
sometimes, someone to help us hear the music in the
world. To remind us that is won’t always be this way.
That someone is out there, and that someone will find you.

Be joyful always; pray continually;
give thanks in all circumstances.
-- 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17


Never let your failures get to your heart,
and never let your success get to your head.

If we forgive others,
we free our minds to dwell
on better and brighter things.
And we free our hearts
to feel the love we're made to
instead of the rage we create.

Love the LORD, all his saints!
The LORD preserves the faithful,
but the proud he pays back in full.
Be strong and take heart,
all you who hope in the LORD.
-- Psalm 31:23-24

Joy is what happens to us when we
allow ourselves to recognize
how good things really are.

                 

But you are a shield around me, O LORD;
you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.
-- Psalm 3:3

Live for the Lord;
except it's simplicity
for it heals great confusing.
Love the life he gave you,
for he gave it to you for a reason.

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
-- 1 Chronicles 16:34

Don't confuse your path
with your destination.
Just because it's stormy now
doesn't mean you aren't
headed towards sunshine.

I pray also that the eyes of your heart
may be enlightened in order that you may
know the hope to which he has called you,
the riches of his glorious inheritance in the
saints, and his incomparably great
power for us who believe.
-- Ephesians 1:18-19

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or
vain conceit, but in humility consider
others better than yourselves.
Each of you should look not only to
your own interests,
but also to the interests of others.
-- Philippians 2:3-4

There is sadness,
but there is also love.
Choose love, let yourself
move forward and
break free from dark chains.

If you want true success, wish for those
who anger you most to prosper.
This will free you from your anger and help you rise.

for all have sinned and fall short of
the glory of God, and are justified freely
by his grace through the redemption
that came by Christ Jesus.
-- Romans 3:23-24

You can say that life’s not fair,
or you can make a change to it
by saying a prayer.

 --Hope you enjoyed. (:
