Young and Beautiful...

That's what describes my friends. They keep my feet on the ground no matter what. I'm so lucky to be blessed with amazing friends! Most people wouldn't be lucky enough to get one friend like mine in their lifetime. We've been through so much together, but we've always hung on to each other. We're more like family than we are friends. The past few years have been rough for all of us at some point but somehow we've been able to hang on to each other even if there was nothing else to hold on to. We've done some fun, crazy, wild, and stupid things... but looking back, I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Tons of Quotes...

"Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel. Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you. Can't help it if there's no one else. I can't help myself." -Taylor Swift "Hey Stephen"

"You can't worry about the what ifs in life! Deal with what you can control and be positive and everything will work out in the end!" -Kent Christensen

I wanna be the girl he's scared to lose. The one he can't walk away from knowing she's mad at him. The one who can't fall asleep without her voice being the last one he hears. The one he can't live without.

Every girl wants to find the one she can be herself in front of. The on that she can say anything to, the one she can laugh, smile, and cry with, she can lay with, and she can fight with.

If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got.

There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore, and who always will. So don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

I like a challenge...so challenge me. If I fight, fight me back. But it's ok to let me win sometimes. Know that I have my own mind and so should you. Nobody likes an easy girl, nobody likes an easy boy. Tell me when I'm wrong. Admit when I'm right. Respect me. My actions and my words. Feel free to argue as long as you'll kiss and make up...but remind me as often as needed that you love me.

"I wanna be there when you wake up, be more than just your friend. Baby, there's no mistakin', you're the love I wanna be in." -Jason Aldean

Forget about those who make your days miserable, and live for those you make your life beautiful.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." -Gandhi

What a girl wants: Tell her she's your only one. When she's upset, hold her tight. Play with her hair. Pick her up. Just talk to her. Bring her flowers just because. Hold her and let her fall asleep in your arms. Sing to her no matter how awful you sound. Get her mad at you, then kiss her. Tell her she looks beautiful. When she's sad, make her laugh. Look into her eyes and smile. Come up behind her and wrap your arms around her. Kiss her for no reason. Kiss her in the rain. Stand up for her. Never take her for granted. Be true to her. Tell her you love her, and mean it. Never let her go.

Life is like a taxi. The meter just keeps ticking whether you are getting somewhere or just standing still.

In the end, the only people who fail are those who do not try.

You don't marry someone you can live with-you marry the person who you cannot live without.

"The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do." -Walter Bagehot

Look at life through the windshield, not the rear-view mirror.

Never waste a minute of your precious life by squandering it thinking about people you don't like.

Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.

This is my wish for you. Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, love to complete your life.

The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.

If you wait to do everything until you're sure it's right, you'll probably never do much of anything.

Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams!

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.

It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is the most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let the person konw how you feel.

Laugh as much as you breath, and love as long as you live.

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think, say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you...we are in charge of our attitudes." -Charles R. Swindoll

Growing up is not being so dead-set on making everybody happy. -Reba McEntire

"If you love someone you say it... you say it right then, out loud... or the moment just... passes you by."- My Best Friends Wedding

Love... We think about it, sing about it, dream about it, lose sleep worrying about it. When we don't know we have it, we search for it; when we discover it, we don't know what to do with it; when we have it, we fear losing it. It is the constant source of pleasure and pain. But we can't predict which it will be one moment from the next. It is a short word, easy to spell, difficult to define, impossible to live without.

"When you kiss someone, everything around you becomes hazy... & the only thing in focus is you and this person... & you realize that this person is the only person you should be kissing for the rest of your life... & for one moment, you get this amazing gift... & you wanna laugh & you wanna cry... Cuz you feel so lucky that you've found it & so scared that it'll go away all at the same time..."- Never Been Kissed

"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? I makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life... You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should just be friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love." - Neil Gaiman

If you have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give your best effort, eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you are ready for greater challenges.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

I am a daughter, a sister, a granddaughter, a niece, a cousin, a friend, a student, a young girl, and a grown woman. I am confident and scared...terrified and excited. I am loving, caring, thoughtful, careful, and careless. I am whole and broken. I am misunderstood, misguided, and mislead. I am hardworking and determined, but a little scared on the inside. I wish on stars and dream my dreams. I pray to God and cry my tears. I smile on the outside while I'm dying on the inside. I listen to others who wont listen to me. I walk on eggshells and walk on fire. I believe in true love and passion. I love you and push you away... I am everything and nothing... And all I want is for you to love me.

Love is what makes two people sit in the middle of a bench when there is plenty of room at both ends.

The worst thing that happens to you can be the best thing for you, if you don't let it get the best of you.

There's gonna be some stuff you're gonna see that's gonna make it seem hard to smile in the future. But through whatever you see, through all the rain and the pain, you gotta keep your sense of humor. You gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit. Remember that. -Tupac

No trial is without God's blessing.

Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time.

"What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?" -Vincent Van Gogh

Dance as though no one is watching you. Love as though you've never been hurt before. Sing as though no one can hear you. Live as though heaven is on earth.

Dreams aren't something to wait for, they're something to work for.

Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have.

"You gain strength, courage, & confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do." -Eleanor Roosevelt

Live for the moments you can't put into words.

The truth is, everyone's gonna hurt you in life, but you just have to decide who's worth the pain.

Keep your heart open to dreams. For as long as there's a dream, there is hope. And as long as there is hope, there is joy in living.

The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

To succeed, you need to take that gut feeling in what you believe & act on it with all of your heart.

Life is too short. Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness. Apologize when you should, & and let go of what you can't change. Love deeply, & forgive quickly. Take chances, give everything and have no regrets. Life's too short to be unhappy. You have to take the good with the bad, smile when you're sad, love what you've got, and always remember what you had. Always forgive, never forget. Life's to short to be living with regrets.

If you love something, set it free... If it returns, it's you'rs forever. If not, it was never meant to be.

Who in the world do you run to when the only person who can stop your tears is the one who made you cry?

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just ONE more time.

"As we drive along this road called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost. And when that happens, I guess she has to let go of the coulda, shoulda, woulda... buckle up, and just keep going." - Sarah Jessica Parker

Don't cry over someone who wouldn't cry over you!

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." -Eleanor Roosevelt

"I'd rather regret the things I've done than the things I have not." -Lucille Ball"

Dreams always keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground." -Teddy Roosevelt

Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a gift, accept it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is a sorrow, overcome it. Life is a tragedy, face it. Life is a duty, perform it. Life is a mystery, unfold it. Life is eternal, believe it.

You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses.

"Don't waste a minute not being happy. If one door closes, run to the next window-or break down a door." -Brooke Shields

"To succeed in life you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone, and a funny bone." -Reba McEntire

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!!

Be your self... for those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

If God brings you to it, he'll bring you through it.

"I trust that everything happens for a reason, even when we're not wise enough to see it." -Oprah Winfrey

Never love anything that can't love you back.

Life ends when you stop dreaming. Hope ends when you stop believing. Love ends when you stop caring. So dream, believe, and care... Life is beautiful!!

Don't let today's disappointments cast a shadow on tomorrows dreams.

Somewhere, there's someone who dreams of your smile, & finds in your presence that life is worthwhile. So when you are lonely, remember, it's true... Sombody, somewhere, is thinking of you.

The happiest people don't have it all, they just make the best of what they've got.

Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible.

When you are sorrowful, look again in your heart and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

Sometimes the path your on is not as important as the direction you're headed.

Life isn't about avoiding the rain, it's about gettin' out there and dancin' in it!

People only realize what they had after they lose it, so hold on to what you have and never let it go.

"Learn from your mistakes; learn from the bad, dwell on the good, and you'll be alright." -Faith Hill"

To thine own self be true, then to no other canst thou be false." -Shakespeare

"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." -Maya Angelou

Love: it's like the wind. You can't see it, but you can feel it.

"The issue for us is trusting God enough to trust also his timing. If we can truly believe he has our welfare at heart, may we not let his plans unfold as he thinks best?" -Neal A. Maxwell"

Some hearts, they just get all the right breaks. Some hearts have the stars on their side. Some hearts, they just have it so easy. Some hearts just get lucky somtimes." -Carrie Underwood, "Some Hearts"

"One grain of sand can turn the tide. One single spark can light the night. One simple dream, on gentle word, one act of love from someone can start a chain reaction. The power of ONE." -Bomshell, "The Power of One"In the book of life, the answers aren't in the back.

"Life aint always beautiful, but it's a beautiful ride." -Gary Allan, "Life Aint Always Beautiful"

Character: it's how you live life when nobody's watching.

"I could be your faded blue jeans with the holes in the knees in the bottom of the top drawer. I could be your little beauty queen, just a little outta reach, or the girl livin' next door. I'll be your angel givin' up her wings if that's what you need. I'd give everything to be your anything." -Taylor Swift, "Your Anything"

I want to be remembered as the girl who always smiles even when her heart is broken, and the girl who could brighten up your day even if she couldn't brighten her own.

I've learned that goodbyes will always hurt, pictures never replace having been there, memories, good or bad, will bring tears, and words can never replace those feelings.

Live like there's no tomorrow.

I'm nowhere near perfect. I eat when I'm bored. I fall for boys easily. I'm vulnerable to believing lies. Im hoping that one day I won't need to fake a smile. I live by quotes that explain exactly what I am going through. I make up excuses for everything. I have best friends and enemies. I have drama and memories. And that's life... Live it, love it, learn from it.

Love is when... You miss him even before you part. When you could listen to him talk all night and never get tired of hearing his voice. When the sound of his name will send chills down your spine and you see his smile the second you close your eyes.

Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints on your heart. To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart. Anger is only one letter short of danger. If someone betrays you once, it's his fault; if he betrays you twice, it's your fault. Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art. Learn from the mistakes of others, you can't live long enough to make them all yourself. Friends, you and me...you brought another friend...and then there were three...we started our group...our circle of friends...and like that cirlcle there's no beginning or end. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift, that's why they call it the present.

"Im selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle, but if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." -Marilyn Monroe

Everyone is always asking me what's wrong, but I don't even think it makes sense. It's just... My heart hurts.

She will chase you around for a while; but there's gonna be a day when she's gonna stop running in circles around you. She's going to get over you and at that very moment you're gonna wish you had let her catch you.

If you looked inside a girl...you would see how much she really cries, you would find so many secrets and lots of lies but what you'll see the most is how hard it is to stay strong when nothing is right and everything is wrong.

I guess things happen for a reason. Tears eventually fade and one day everthing will be exactly how it's supposed to be. Moving on is a process and you have to promise yourself that you're really ready to let go.Love puts the fun in together, the sad in apart, the hope in tomorrow, and the joy in the heart.

Smiles and tears, giggles and laughs, late night calls and cute photographs. I'll be there for you til the ay of my death, best friends forever til my very last breath!

At times I wonder if he's ever thinking of me, when I'm constantly thinking of him.

To let a fool kiss you is stupid, to let a kiss fool you is worse.

"Life's like a rollercoaster and you never know when it's going to take a turn." -Ty Pennington

The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them, knowing you can't have them.

"Life's like a novel with the end ripped out." -Rascal Flatts, "Stand"

To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

Sometimes we must get hurt in order to grow. We must fail in order to know. Somtimes our vision's clear only after our eyes are washed away with tears.

I ran up the door, closed the stairs, said my pajamas, and put on my prayers. Turned off the bed, and hopped into the light, all because he kissed me goodnight.

"I wish I were the rain... cause it can fall as hard as it wants to, gingerly drift down a lover's face, cry for hours or weeks on end and never feel a bit out of place. It can feed a field, put out a fire, and never feel the pain... I wish I were the rain!" -SheDaisy, "I Wish I Were the Rain"

"I'm so lost without you that I can't find myself." -Little Big Town, "I'm So Lost Without You"

"I don't wanna lose your face. And I don't wanna wake up one day and not remember what time erased. And I don't wanna turn around, cuz I'm not scared of what love gave me and took away. And I don't wanna lose your face." -Taylor Swift, "Your Face"

"And I could tell you, his favorite color's green. He loves to argue, born on the seventeenth. His sister's beautiful, he has is father's eyes. And if you asked me if I love him... I'd lie." -Taylor Swift, "I'd Lie"

"I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know. I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on. Oh I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world." -Taylor Swift, "A Place in This World"

"Hold on, baby you're losin' it. The water's high, you're jumpin' into it and lettin' go, and no one knows, that you cry, but you don't tell anyone that you might not be the golden one. And you're tied together with a smile but you're comin' undone." -Taylor Swift, "Tied Together With a Smile"

"Wake up, smell the break up, fix my heart put on my makeup. Another mess I didn't plan. And I'll bet you thought you beat me, wish you could only see I got an "I Heart ?" written on the back of my hand." -Taylor Swift, "I Heart ?"

"How can I ever try to be better? Nobody ever lets me in. I can still see you, this aint the best view, on the outside lookin' in. I've been a lot of lonely places, I've never been on the outside." -Taylor Swift, "The Outside"
