Half Of My Heart

Half of my heart's got a grip on the situation.
Half of my heart takes time.
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
that I can't keep loving you
with half of my heart..

~ John Mayer

Eleanor Roosevelt

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Love Hurts

Love hurts.
But sometimes
it's a good hurt,
and it feels like
I'm alive..

~ Incubus

Not Me

Behind my smile
is a hurting heart..

Behind my laugh,
I'm falling apart..

Look closely
at me..

And you will see..

The girl I am,
isn't me..

My Wasted Heart Will

To me,
you are perfect..
And my wasted heart
will love you..

Mark (Andrew Lincoln)
in Love Actually

Seated In The Heart

Memory takes a lot of poetic license,
it omits some details;
others are exaggerated
according to the emotional value
of the articles it touches,
for memory is seated
predominantly in the heart.

The Glass Menagerie
by Tennessee Williams

Oprah Winfrey

Real integrity is doing the right thing,
knowing that nobody’s going to know whether you did it or not.

Happy Ending

But sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending we don't learn how to read the signs.
How to tell from the ones who want us and the ones who don't,
the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave.
And maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy..
Maybe..
It's you,
on your own,
picking up the pieces
and starting over,
freeing yourself up
for something better
in the future.
Maybe the happy ending is..
just..
moving on.
Or maybe the happy ending is this,
knowing after all the unreturned phone calls, broken-hearts,
through the blunders and misread signals,
through all the pain and embarrassment
you never gave up hope..

He's Just Not That Into You (The Movie)

Our Great War & Our Great Depression

Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who’ve ever lived.
I see all this potential, and I see squandering.
God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars.
Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need.
We’re the middle children of history, man.
No purpose or place.
We have no Great War.
No Great Depression.
Our Great War’s a spiritual war...
Our Great Depression is our lives...
We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars.
But we won’t.
And we’re slowly learning that fact.
And we’re very, very pissed off.

~ Tyler Durden

Being Single

I just realized that
being single
doesn't mean that
I'm not good enough,
it only means that
no one is
good enough
for me...

Megan Fox's Left Rib Cage Tattoo

“there once was a little girl
who never knew love
until a boy broke
her heart”..

Wrong Man

I feel you moving, slipping away.
I try to call, but I can't find the words to say.
My lips move, but they don't make a sound.

I close my eyes but I can't sleep.
My wound will not heal,
you cut me too deep.
My mind is strong, but my soul is weak.
But I've got to get up, get back on my feet.

You can be so cruel
but I just don't understand,
do the tears that I cry
make you feel like a man?

You know I love you,
sometimes, it just ain't enough
and I don't want to leave you
but I'm giving you up.
I told you once
and I'll tell you once more,
You can't do right,
because you are the
wrong man to fall for..

The Sweetness Is For Me

It makes me feel better whenever I take the time out to notice the sweetness of life..
The smiles on my sons' faces,
the wind on my face,
the sun's warmth,
the smell of rain..
I know the sweetness is for me,
so I allow it to soothe my soul
and bring a smile to my face..

My Feelings

I like you..
That's the first feeling
I had deep in my heart
when we first met.

Then..

I want you..
To be near always,
to hear your voice,
to see your eyes,
to be by my side.

Why?

I love you..
A strange feeling
that cannot be explained,
but only our hearts
can understand.

Happiness Now

I remember one morning getting up at dawn, there was such a sense of possibility.
You know that feeling?
And I remember thinking to myself, this is the beginning of happiness.
This is where it starts and of course there will always be more.
It never occurred to me it wasn't the beginning.
It was happiness.
It was the moment.
Right then.

Clarissa Vaughan (Meryl Streep)
in The Hours

The Fool In Me

“I must learn to love the fool in me – the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries.
It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled masterful tyrant whom I also harbor and who would rob me of human aliveness, humility, and dignity but for my fool.”
