Slammed

-Find a balance between head and heart. Hopefully you've found that Lake, and you can help Kel sort it out when he gets to that point.

-Push your boundaries, that's what they're there for.

-I'm stealing this snippet from your favorite band, Lake. "Always remember there is nothing worth sharing, like the love that let us share our name."

-Don't take life too seriously. Punch it in the face when it needs a good hit. Laugh at it.

-And Laugh a lot. Never go a day without laughing at least once.

-Never judge others. You both know good and well how unexpected events can change who a person is. Always keep that in mind. You never know what someone else is experiencing within their own life.

-Question everything. Your love, your religion, your passions. If you don't have questions, you'll never find answers.

-Be accepting. Of everything. People's differences, their similarities, their choices, their personalities. Sometimes it takes a variety to make a good collection. The same goes for people.

It Ends with Us

I feel like everyone fakes who they really are, when deep down we’re all equal amounts of screwed up. Some of us are just better at hiding it than others.

I don’t think being a little guarded is a negative thing,” I say. “Naked truths aren’t always pretty.

There is no such thing as bad people. We’re all just people who sometimes do bad things.No one is exclusively bad, nor is anyone exclusively good. Some are just forced to work harder at suppressing the bad.

Point of Retreat

If I were a carpenter, I would build you a window to my soul.

But I would leave that window shut and locked,

so that every time you tried to look through it…all you would see is your own reflection.

You would see that my soul

is a reflection of you…

“Sometimes two people have to fall apart, to realize how much they need to fall back together"

Life’s hard. It’s even harder when you’re stupid.”― John Wayne

The heart of a man is no heart at all

If his heart isn’t loved by a woman.

The heart of a woman is no heart at all

If her heart isn’t loving a man.

But the heart of a man and a woman in love

Can be worse than not having a heart

Because at least if you have no heart at all

It can’t die when it breaks apart.

I’ll never be able to give you everything you deserve, but I’ll definitely spend the rest of my life trying.

I’m not asking you to marry me, I’m telling you to marry me, because I can’t live without you.

p.23 : Because of you. I love you because of you. Because of every single thing about you.

The points are not the point; the point is poetry
