Hug harder. Laugh louder. Smile Bigger. Love longer.

Sometimes one smile means more then a dozen roses. Isn't if funny how day-by-day nothing changes, but then when you look back, everything is different? It's hard to watch people change right in front of you. But the worst part is remembering who they used to be... life is like a million pictures in a photo album, you can remember it; but you can never recapture it. Sometimes the things you complain about are the things you care about most. Unfortunately, you don't always know that before it's too late.

Life doesn't give you the people you want, it gives you the people you need. To help you, to hurt you, to love you, to leave you, and to make you into the person you were meant to be.

If everything happened when and how we wanted it to, nothing would be worth waiting for.

You never learn to appreciate what you have till it's gone

The hardest things to say are the words that mean the most

Speaking the truth is harder than bearing a lie.

Live for the moments you can't put into words

Live like life's going out of style.

We're never going to survive unless we get a little crazy.

A day without laughing is a day that has been wasted,

maybe part of loving is learning to let go,

if nothing lasts forever I want you to be my nothing,

you only have one shot at true love so don't let it pass you by.

Anyone can make you smile and anyone can make you cry, but it takes someone special to make you smile with tears in your eyes.
