Friends Only
Most of my journal entries are friends only. Comment to be added!
I will most likely add you even if I don't know you. =] As long as we have some things in common.
"Cor te reducit." It means "the heart leads you back." It means no matter where you go after you leave this place, your heart will always lead you back here. It means there's always a place for you here. And it means I'll always be here for you, too.
- The Lake of Dead Languages by Carol Goodman
"When I was 5 years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down “happy.” They told me I didn’t understand the assignment and I told them they didn’t understand life."

"And we know it's never simple, never easy
And for a clean break, no one here to save me
You're the only thing I know, like the back of my hand
And I can't...
Breathe without you, but I have to
Breathe without you, but I have to
Never wanted this, never wanna see you hurt
Every little bump in the road I try to swerve
People are people and sometimes it doesn't work out
Nothing we say is gonna save us from the fall out"
- "Breathe" by Taylor Swift
"But if we stay and walk away there's one thing that's true, I still love you."
- "I Still Love You" by Alexz Johnson
"... but in the presence of death everything changes."
- A Few Notes for Orpheus by Don Bailey.
"...if you're always looking for reasons not to be with somebody, well you'll always find them, and I guess at some point you should let go and give your heart what it deserves."
"If you look closer you might see someone like you. Someone trying to find their way. Someone trying to find their place. Someone trying to find their self. Sometimes it's easy to feel like you're the only one in the world who's struggling, who's frustrated or unsatisfied, or barley getting by, but that feeling's a lie and if you just hold on just find the courage to face it all for another day, someone or something will find you and make it all okay, because we all need a little help sometimes. Someone to make us hear the music in the world, to remind us that it won't always be this way. That someone is out there and that someone will find you."
- Lucas Scott, "One Tree Hill"
"Every song has a CODA, a final movement. Whether it fades out or crashes away. Every song ends. Is that any reason not to enjoy the music? The truth is, there is nothing to be afraid of. It's just life."
- Ellie, "One Tree Hill"
"We had a snow day. Sixth grade, do you remember? It was like this whole other world just came in overnight and took ours away. Brooke, she came over and we made a snow fort... with a tunnel. And we stayed in there all day. It seemed so safe, like everything was okay. Like everything our world was about to become, maybe we could just stop it and stay little kids for one more day. But then it got cold, kinda like now. They're gonna come now. All of them. The reporters and the psychologists and the analysts. And the so-called experts. And they're gonna try and make sense of this. But they're not gonna be able to. And even if we do make it out of here, we're always gonna carry it with us. Its never gonna be the same."
- Peyton Sawyer, "One Tree Hill"
"It wasn't supposed to be this way. The artists, and the scientists, and the poets...none of them fit in at seventeen. You're supposed to get past it. Adults, they see kids killing kids and they know its a tragedy because they used to be those kids. The bullies and the beaten and the loners. You're supposed to get past it. You're supposed to live long enough to take it back. Just take it all back."
- Marvin "Mouth" McFadden, "One Tree Hill"
"What's wrong with you? He's just a kid. We're all just kids and we just have this life and the things you say and do, we feel that. How can you have so much hate in your heart? How can you act like it doesn't matter? It does matter. What happened to us? We're just kids. We can't be like this. It's not possible."
- Abby, "One Tree Hill"
"Just promise me one thing, promise me that when you pick the boy you're really going to be with, that he'll be someone who respects you and treats you well. And, it's someone who makes your heart race and that he's someone you love because of what he is, not what he does. Because, that's how I felt about your mother, and that’s how I want you to feel one day. Use your head and follow your heart."
- Larry Sawyer, "One Tree Hill"
"I thought I knew you. But I guess it’s easier.. to see what we want, than to look for the truth. You think you know me but you don’t; and that means you don’t know what I can do. You see me as someone who’s popular... and has all the answers; that’s not true. I may not always know what I’m doing... but I’ll try make things better. And when I make a mistake... because face it, we all do...I promise I’ll ask for your help. I can’t do this alone. But if you’ll take a chance on me, we can do great things together. I promise, if you believe in me, I’ll find the courage to reach for your every dream. John F. Kennedy said; "The courage of life is a magnificent mixture triumph and tragedy. A man does what he must, in spite of personal consequences... in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures.. and that is the basis of all morality."
- Brooke Davis, "One Tree Hill"
"Remember tonight, for it is the beginning of always. A promise. Like a reward for persisting through life so long alone. The belief in each other and the possibility of love. A decision, to ignore or simply rise above the pain of the past. The covenant, which at once binds two souls and yet severs prior ties. The celebration, of the chance for two will always be stronger than one. Like a team, braced against the tempest’s of the world. And love... will always be the guiding force in our lives. For tonight is mere formality.. only an announcement to the world for feelings long held. Promises made long ago -- in the sacred space of our hearts."
- Lucas Scott, "One Tree Hill"
"If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?"
- Stephen Levine
"Those who say it cannot be done, should not interrupt those who are doing it."
- Chicken Soup For The Soul
"Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you're saying."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
"What I am is good enough if I would only be it openly."
- Carl Rogers
"Bottom line is even if you see em' coming you're not ready for the big moments. No one asked for their life to change not really but it does. So what are we helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come you can't help that it's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are."
