The friends who grew up with you deserve a special respect- the ones who stuck by you shoulder to shoulder, in a time when nothing was certain, all life lay ahead, and every road led home. Sometimes I think I spend my whole life trying to figure out where I fit in. What you need to know about the past is that no matter what has happened, it has all worked together to bring you to this very moment. And this is the moment you can choose to make everything new. Right now. Love doesn't hide. It stays and fights. It goes the distance, that’s why love is so strong. So it can carry you…all the way home. Bad things are always going to happen in life. People will hurt you. But you can't use that as an excuse to fail or to hurt someone back. You'll only hurt yourself. All I need from anyone is love and respect, and anyone who can't give me that has no business in my life. I am trying to figure out the exact moment my life got so fucked up. I just don't understand the ways of the world today. Sometimes I feel like there's nothing to live for, so I'm longing for the days of yesterday. Dreams are bad...when all they do is leave the truth behind... Well, it seems to me that the best relationships-- the ones that last-- are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is... suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with. |
