““I used to think I knew everything. I was a “smart person” who “got things done,” and because of that, the higher I climbed, the more I could look down and scoff at what seemed silly or simple, even religion.
But I realized something as I drove home that night: that I am neither better nor smarter, only luckier. And I should be ashamed of thinking I knew everything, because you can know the whole world and still feel lost in it. So many people are in pain-no matter how smart or accomplished-they cry, they yearn, they hurt.But instead of looking down on things, they look up, which is where I should have been looking, too. Because when the world quiets to the sound of your own breathing, we all want the same things:comfort, love, and a peaceful heart.”

You say Hello. I say Hi.
You say dinner? I say coffee.
You say I like you. I say I know.
You say you would never hurt me. I say I’m not worried.
You say stay. I say how long. You say for the night, I say that’s too long.
You ask what we are. I say nothing. You say that’s a lie. I say call it what you want.
You say girlfriend. I say friend.
You ask why. You ask why all the time. Why don’t you stay, why aren’t you ever around, why don’t we ever talk, why don’t you respond back quickly, why does it always feel like this is one sided.
I say, I’m sorry. I say that I don’t mean to be, I say that I’ll stick around longer, I say I’ll care more, I say I’ll be less busy, I say it’s not one sided.

But what I really mean is that I’m sorry I’m terrible to you. I’m sorry I let you get caught up in me. I’m sorry I cant love you more.

So what do I do? I say I’m sorry, I’ll be better and stay, hoping that tomorrow I might wake up caring for you as much as you care for me.

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 02:33:18 -0400

I WILL FALL FOR A BOY WHO WILL— EDITED:

* Bring me out of the rain, because we agree catching a cold is not cute.
* Say “screw cooking, want some ice cream?”
* Make sure the radio is loud enough so that I don’t ruin a great song.
* Only present me with good surprises, not fun ones like “Surprise! I have a kid.”
* Have movie marathons, lord of the ring marathons, star trek marathons, harry potter marathons, star wars marathons, all. the. time.
* Remember the big things, I don’t care if you remember my favorite color, just dont forget my birthday.
* Beat up my fears, so I don’t have to worry about them.
* Never tickle, tickling always ends badly.
* Play fights are cool only if I win ALL the time.
* Write me love letters, long lengthy ones, showing me he loves more than a post-it note.
* Say whats on his mind, as long as it’s purpose isn’t to hurt others.
* Let me wear his clothes, and never expect to get them back.
* Never try to shut me up.
* Call me by my name, because sweetheart and darling make me feel like I’m 7, or in an old western movie.
* Hug me all the time, not just when I’m having a bad day.
* Treat me with respect, love, and kindness.
* And love me, even when I’m unlovable.

What I've Learned

Mon, 23 Apr 2012 20:54:32 -0400

By Omer Washington

I’ve learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.

I’ve learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don’t care back.

I’ve learned that it takes years to build up trust and only seconds to destroy it.

I’ve learned that it’s not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that counts.

I’ve learned that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes, after that, you’d better know something.

I’ve learned that you shouldn’t compare yourself to the best others can do, but to the best you can do.

I’ve learned that it’s not what happens to people, it’s what they do about it.

I’ve learned that no matter how thin you slice it, there are always two sides.

I’ve learned that you can keep going long after you think you can’t.

I’ve learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I’ve learned that there are people, who love you dearly, but just don’t know how to show it.

I’ve learned that sometimes when I’m angry I have the right to be angry but that doesn’t give me the right to be cruel. I’ve learned that true friendship continues to grow even over the longest distance same goes for true love.

I’ve learned that no matter how good a friend is, they’re going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I’ve learned that it isn’t always enough to be forgive by others, sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I’ve learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn’t stop for your grief.

I’ve learned that just because two people argue, it doesn’t mean they don’t love each other and just because they don’t argue, it doesn’t mean they do.

I’ve learned that sometimes you have to put the individual ahead of their actions. I’ve learned that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

I’ve learned that no matter the consequences, those who are honest with themselves get farther in life.

I’ve learned that your life can be changed in a matter of hours when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.

I’ve learned that writing, As well as talking, Can ease emotional pains.

I’ve learned that it’s hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people’s feelings and standing up for what you believe.

I’ve learned to love and be loved. I`VE LEARNED..
