Curiosity


Don't look back, you'll trip over opurtunities in your future.


No love found, No love lost.



It's a love story baby just say yes.



Living is knowing.



It hurts to know I'll never forget the things you'll never remember.



You've got a smile that will light up this whole town.



Your friends, are your world.



Never regret.
If it was good, It was wonderful.
If it was bad, It was an expierence.



"Life is beauty. Life is love."



Nothing is Original.

I'm me.

Class.

"It's just highschool who cares." - Preston Belcher


Actions speak louder then words.


You have to stand for something or you'll fall for anything.



"Man up. If someone doesn't like the size of your balls, They can screw off."



The best things in life aren't things.


Classy- of high class, rank, or grade; stylish; admirably smart; elegant.

To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect.”

Every Heartbeat Is A New Beginning


10th grade


As I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next to me. She was my so called "best friend". I stared at her long, silky hair, and wished she was mine. But she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. After class, she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before and handed them to her. She said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

11th grade

The phone rang. On the other end, it was her. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart. She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone, so I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep. She looked at me, said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

Senior year

The day before prom she walked to my locker. My date is sick" she said; he's not going to go well, I didn't have a date, and in 7th grade, we made a promise that if neither of us had dates, we would go together just as "best friends". So we did. Prom night, after everything was over, I was standing at her front door step. I stared at her as she smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes. I want her to be mine, but she isn't think of me like that, and I know it. Then she said "I had the best time, thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

Graduation Day

A day passed, then a week, then a month. Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. Before everyone went home, she came to me in her smock and hat, and cried as I hugged her. Then she lifted her head from my shoulder and said, "you're my best friend, thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

A Few Years Later

Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl is getting married now. I watched her say "I do" and drive off to her new life, married to another man. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't see me like that, and I knew it. But before she drove away, she came to me and said "you came!". She said "thanks" and kissed me on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

Funeral

Years passed, I looked down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my "best friend". At the service, they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years. This is what it read: I stare at him wishing he was mine, but he doesn't notice me like that, and I know it. I want to tell him, I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love him but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me! `I wish I did too...` I thought to my self, and I cried.

Memories.

Today I was  looking for a jacket to wear and came upon a cream  colored one that belonged to my mom. I put it on and it fit perfectly. I smelt it just to make sure it didn't have that old closet smell just to find that it smelt of my mom's perfume. For a split second I saw my mom standing there so close. It was like she was actually there... Needless to say I didn't put my own perfume on it. I miss and love you mom.

Ruffled

I found this amazing blog, with beautiful wedding pictures from many different photographers. They're so inspiring!


Click on the link ;) ^^

Life... is like a box of chocolates - a cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that no one ever asks for, unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So, you're stuck with mostly undefinable whipped mint crap, mindlessly wolfed down when there's nothing else to eat while you're watching the game. Sure, once is a while you get a peanut butter cup or an English toffee but it's gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. In the end, you are left with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts, which, if you are desperate enough to eat, leaves nothing but an empty box of useless brown paper. ~The X-Files

Even the young know...

*What Does Love Mean?*

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:


"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all even when his hands got arthritis, too. That's Love. Rebecca - age 8

When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth." Billy - age 4

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other." Karl - age 5

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French Fries without making them give you any of theirs." Chrissy - age 6

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." Terri - age 4

"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." Danny - age 7

"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss" Emily - age 8

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen." Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate." Nikka - age 6

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it
everyday." Noelle - age 7

"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well." Tommy - age 6

"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore." Cindy - age 8

"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night." Clare - age 6

"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken." Elaine-age 5

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford." Chris - age 7

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day." Mary Ann - age 4

"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old
clothes and has to go out and buy new ones." Lauren - age 4

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you" Karen - age 7

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross." Mark - age 6

"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget," Jessica - age 8

And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. (Now this will melt your heart.) The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When
his Mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."
 

Boys to Girls

Dear Girls (from us guys)... 

*Don't assume that guys won't care where you are, because we do. 
It makes us feel secure to know that our girlfriends aren't off flirting with guys we've never heard of. 

*Also, don't talk about your ex-boyfriends. 
We never have, nor ever will respect or like them, nor do we want to hear about them. 
When you do, you're asking your boyfriend to be jealous. 
You're asking your boyfriend to lose trust. 

*On that, don't hump everything that walks into the room. 
We don't care if you talk to other guys. 
We don't care if you're friends with other guys. 
But when you're sitting next to us, and some random guy walks into the room and you jump up and tackle him, without even introducing us, yeah, it pisses us off. 
It doesn't help if you sit there and talk to him for ten minutes without even acknowledging the fact that we're still there. 

*Also, when we tell you you're pretty/ beautiful/ gorgeous/ cute/ stunning, we freaking mean it. 
Don't tell us we're wrong. 
We'll stop trying to convince you. 
The sexiest thing about a girl is confidence. 
Yeah, you can quote me. 

*Don't be mad when we hold the door open. 
Smile and say "thank you." 
Let us pay for you. 
Don't "feel bad." 
We enjoy doing it. 
It's expected. 
Smile and say - everybody together now - "thank you." 

*Kiss us when no one's watching. 
If you kiss us when you know nobody's looking we'll be more impressed. 

*You don't have to get dressed up for us. 
If we're going out with you in the first place, you don't have to feel the need to wear the shortest skirt you have, put on every kind of makeup you own. 
We like you for WHO you are and not WHAT you are. 

*Don't flirt with guys when we're not around. 
We'll find out. Trust us. 
We have eyes everywhere. 
And when we find out, we're pissed. 
Not necessarily with the guys you flirted with, more-so with you. 

*Don't take everything we say seriously. 
Sarcasm is a beautiful thing. See the beauty in it. 
Don't get angry easily. 
Stop using magazines/media as your bible. 

*Don't talk about how hot Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt is in front of us. 
It's boring, and we don't care. 
You have girlfriends for that. 

*Whatever happened to the word "handsome"? 
Why does everything have to be "hot/sexy"? 
I'd be utterly stunned by a girl who greeted me with "Hey handsome!" instead of "Hey baby/ stud/ cutie/ sexy" or whatever else you can think of. 
Claiming girls or guys to be "hot" shows immaturity. 

**Girls, I cannot stress this enough: if you aren't being treated right by a guy, don't wait for him to change. 
Ditch his sorry, disgrace-to-the-male-population ass, and find someone who will treat you with utter respect. 
Someone who will honor your morals. 
Someone who will make you smile when you're at your lowest.

Love Love Love

Just so you know, there's a space that only you can fill. Just so you know I loved you then I guess I always will.
