one.
We stopped checking for monsters under our beds
because we realized they were inside us.
two.
The problem with fairy tales is that they set a girl up for disappointment. In real life, the prince goes off with the wrong princess. Or the spell wears off and two lovers realize they’re better off.
three.
I know; we’re complete strangers now. We both pretend like we don’t care, but I can feel the tension as much as you can. I know how to hide my feelings from your piercing stare and no matter what you think, I still miss you.
four.
You think you’re not pretty, someone is wishing to be as pretty as you. You want more money, people are in poverty. You want a boyfriend, someone doesn’t even have parents. You’re hungry, a child is starving. You want to go to the mall, someone is looking for anything to wear just to stay warm. You’re chilly, others are frozen. You just want to die, most people are striving to live. So don’t waste your time on things that you think you don’t have, because there is always someone out there who needs what you have.
five.
He looked at me and said, “Do you ever feel like you’re working for something you’re never going to get? You shoot-and-miss kind of deal. Like, no matter what, you can’t have it, but that makes you fight for it just a little bit more?” I looked at him, stared at him for a second, and replied, “Everyday.”
six.
It is better to get hurt than be numb.
seven.
I swear, I am the biggest over-anylizer that you will ever meet. I think so much about the little things that don’t even mean anything. I guess I’m just looking, looking for something that isn’t there.
eight.
We all have that boy; he’s the boy we try to pretend we aren’t looking for as we make our way to class. He’s the boy that we lie about and claim to not care about anymore. He’s the boy that gives you the cliche butterflies, complete with the weakness in the knees. He’s the boy we’re thinking about as we read this. I think every single girl has this boy, and every single girl will remember him forever – he’s not the one for us, but he’ll always be somewhere in our hearts.
nine.
You may think of me as just another girl in the crowd of many, but I just want you to know that I’m the one girl in that crowd that took a single look at you and fell harder than I ever have fallen in my whole life. Sometimes, I catch myself wondering where you are and how you’re doing. I don’t think I’m ever going to let you go completely.
ten.
I never asked for it to be over. Then again, I never asked for it to begin. Thats the way it is with life, some of the most beautiful days come completely by chance. But even the most beautiful days have their sunsets.
eleven.
Nothing can make everything okay after a hard experience, but the simple act of giving a hug can come pretty close.
twelve.
Did you ever walk through a room that’s packed with people, and feel so lonely you can hardly take the next step?
thirteen.
I miss you. Not enough to want you back, but enough for it to hurt.
fourteen.
She’s a disaster. She loses faith in herself every day. Her life is a mess and she doesn’t even care. No one understands her. And people say stuff to put her down and no one even notices that she might be breaking inside. Or they never notice that maybe she needs a hug from someone. Or someone to sit there with her and listen.
fifteen.
I don’t want to be just another girl, I want to be different. I want to be the girl that makes you think, challenges you, but loves you at the exact same time. I want to be the girl you can’t get out of your mind, and when you think of me, I want to be the girl that makes all your problems disappear knowing that you don’t have to face them alone.
sixteen.
People say you have at least five dreams per night. That’s like 30 billion dreams a year. So at least one of those of yours has to be about me.
