“Sometimes you gotta just take things for what they are and appreciate them, not try to label it or explain it. Explanations take the mystery out of it, you know?”

— Sarah Ockler

"If you’re not sure whether or not it looks good on you, it most probably doesn’t."

Reed Bennett: There's this girl.

Oversized Baggage Agent: Oh don't tell me, that'll take the fun out of guessing.

Let's see, this is gonna be a tough one, there's a very pretty girl and she's about to get on a big airplane and if you don't stop her, she'll never know how you really feel.

Reed Bennett: Not exactly.

Oversized Baggage Agent: What am I missing?

Reed Bennett: If she gets on the plane, she's gonna find out the hard way that the guy that she thinks she's in love with is a spineless lying creep!

Oversized Baggage Agent: That's no good.

Reed Bennett: No, it is no good. And I can't let that happen. Because this girl, she is great!

She's like... like sunshine. Everything is better when she's there. I can't stand the idea of some jerk hurting her, I just can't. I can't.

"Do you know what it's like to love someone so much, that you can't see yourself without picturing her?

Or what it's like to touch someone, and feel like you've come home? What we had wasn't about sex, or about being with someone just to show off what you've got, the way it was for other kids our age.

We were, well, meant to be together. Some people spend their whole lives looking for that one person.

I was lucky enough to have her all along."

— Jodi Picoult

"I love you," he whispered, and that was the moment he knew what he was going to do.

When you loved someone, you put their needs before your own. No matter how inconceivable those needs were; no matter how fucked up; no matter how much it made you feel like you were ripping yourself into pieces."

— Jodi Picoult

"There are two kinds of love...in the safe kind you look for someone who's exactly like you. It's what most folks settle for.

But then there's the other kind of love. Everyone's born with a ragged edge, and some folks crave that piece that's a perfect fit. You'll search for it forever, if you have to.

And if you're lucky enough to find it, it looks so right, you start to tear at your own seams, thinking, maybe I could look just as perfect.

But then, of course, when you try to get close to their other half, you don't fit anymore. That kind of love...you come out of it a different person than you were when you started."

— Jodi Picoult

"I, um, I have this problem. I broke up with my boyfriend, you see. And I'm pretty upset about it, so I wanted to talk to my best friend. The thing is, they're both you."

— Jodi Picoult

"You don't love someone because they're perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're not."

— Jodi Picoult

"At times the world may seem an unfriendly and sinister place, but believe that there is much more good in it than bad.

All you have to do is look hard enough. and what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events may in fact be the first steps of a journey."

"Strange as it may seem, I still hope for the best, even though the best, like an interesting piece of mail, so rarely arrives, and even when it does it can be lost so easily."

— Lemony Snicket

“I’m not a stop along the way. I’m a destination and if you refuse to come, I’m going to need to find a replacement.”

— Gossip Girl

“It’s always great when you can be a nerd, acknowledge that fact, and be proud of it.

And even if “nerd” isn’t the first word that you’d use to describe yourself, celebrating whatever nerdy tenancies you might have is also brilliant.

Because to me, being nerdy just means having something that you’re intelligently passionate about.”

So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing.

“Well I’m sorry I’m not who you thought I was, but what’s happened is in the past, and all I can do is try to change. If you can’t accept that, then you’re not who I thought you were.”

— Serena van der Woodsen

"You know, the real ones. The ones where you like to talk, to play, to argue, and to fuck.

The ones where you can’t stand each other and can’t stand to be apart from one another at the same time. The ones where you each have your own life, but you allow each other to enrich them instead of control them.

The ones where you switch off being needy and desperate but generally are equally obsessed. The ones where you feel secure but not bored, where you are just as excited about the conversation you have during dinner as the sex you’ll have afterwards.

You’ve seen each other bitchy, whiny, ugly, tired, sick and you still want each other desperately.

It’s the ones where you know that neither of you is perfect, but you’re perfect for each other.

It’s nice to have reality for once.

“You can’t control when you lose your heart. The only thing you can do is trust - trust that the person who has your heart realizes its value.”

— Grey’s Anatomy

“That’s the problem with a fight. Even when you know the words you are saying are the worst possible utterances, there is always a point of no return. Of no backing off, no retreating.”

— The Pilot’s Wife

"Most of all, I miss that feeling when you go to sleep at night and when you wake up in the morning. It’s the feeling that everything is all right in the world. You know, that amazing feeling that you’re whole, that you’ve got everything you want, that you aren’t missing anything."

— Charlie St. Cloud

“Sometimes you have to be apart from the people you love, but that doesn’t make you love them any less. Sometimes it makes you love them more.”

— The Last Song

“Look, in my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are.

Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person is still going to think the sun shines out your ass.

That’s the kind of person that’s worth sticking with.”

— Juno

“You can try your hardest, you can do everything, but sometimes people just aren’t worth trying over anymore. They aren’t worth worrying about. It’s important to know when to let go of someone who only brings you down.”

“In life, there are a lot of big, romantic moments. And they make life worth living. But here’s the problem, moments pass. And lurking just around the corner from those moments is a cool, unshaven bastard called reality.”

— How I Met Your Mother

"People’s bullshit and fakeness are the main reasons why I like to be alone."

— Megan Fox

“To me, Fearless is not the absense of fear. It’s not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death.”

— Taylor Swift

“Love is fragile. And we’re not always its best caretakers. We just muddle through and do the best we can. And hope this fragile thing survives against all odds.”

— The Last Song

"Sometimes, someone comes into your life that changes everything. They’re able to make you smile, laugh, and allow you to be yourself.

There’s something about them that is unexplainable; and even though you’re not even with them, you don’t want to let that person go."

“Little pieces of you get chipped away by another person, and you shave little pieces of yourself away so that you’ll fit together, then one day you look up and you don’t even know who you are.”

— Grey’s Anatomy

“They didn’t agree on much, in fact, they rarely agreed on anything, they fought all the time and they challenged each other everyday, but despite their differences they had one important thing in common, they were crazy about each other.”

“You don’t know this yet but life isn’t supposed to be like this. It’s not supposed to be so hard. You’re supposed to smile. You’re suppose to fall in love. You’re not supposed to ache like this.”

— Grey’s Anatomy

“I hate how hard it is. It’s just like, you get attached to someone and then they work their way into your life. And then you wake up one day and they just disappear.”

— Grey’s Anatomy

“Happiness comes in many forms — in the company of good friends, in the feeling you get when you make someone else’s dream come true, or in the promise of hope renewed. It’s okay to let yourself be happy because you never know how fleeting that happiness might be…”

Tom: What happens when you fall in love?

Summer: You believe in that?

Tom: It's love, it's not Santa Claus.

“Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable.”

— The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

“The sad truth is that some things can’t go backwards. Once they’re going forward, no matter what you do, they can’t go back to the way they were. If even one little thing goes awry, then that’s how it will stay forever.”

— Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun

"We’re teenagers. Shit happens. We fall in love and end up getting hurt. We bitch, bitch and bitch. We bitch about bitches being bitches.

We go out and have a kick ass time with our friends and those will be the memories. One day that’s going to all pass.

So make the most of what you have now, forget all the bullshit and drama and live your fucking life with a sexy smile on your face."

“Too often, the thing you want most is the one thing you can’t have. Desire leaves us heartbroken, it wears us out. Desire can wreck your life. But as tough as wanting something can be, the people who suffer the most, are those who don’t know what they want.”

— Grey’s Anatomy

"Mistakes. We all make them. They usually start with the best of intentions. Like keeping a secret to protect someone. Or getting some distance from the person you’ve become. Sometimes we don’t even know what mistakes we’ve made to get us where we are. Or figure it out just in time to make it right again. But every mistake happens for a reason. To teach you a lesson you would otherwise never learn."

- Gossip Girl

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?”

— The Mad Hatter

"Here's to all the places we went. And all the places we'll go. And here's to me, whispering again and again and again and again: iloveyou"

Our very well spent Friday:

“Sometimes you don’t need a goal in life, you don’t need to know the big picture. You just need to know what you’re going to do next!”

— Sophie Kinsella (The Undomestic Goddess)

Him: Could you just stop walking away for a second?

Her: What for? The faster I get away from you the faster you wouldn’t have to breathe the same air as me.

Him: … You have got to be kidding. Okay, look. Obviously we were both angry. We said thing we didn’t mean.

Her: That still doesn’t make it any better, does it?

Him: Damnit, could you just stop being a pain in the ass for ONE second?!

Her: Oh, I’m sorry. I’m sorry for opening my big mouth. You like your girls submissive, right?

Him: Don’t even use that tone with me.

Her: Is it my fault I have a backbone? That I’m not afraid to stand up to YOUR ass? It’s been three years, but I see you haven’t changed a bit.

Him: And what the hell is that supposed to be?

Her: You know exactly what I mean. I’m gone for three years, but you’re still your player self.

Him: …

Her: I actually thought you changed, you know?

Him: I did change, stupid. Whether I wanted it or not, I’ve changed.

Her: … Really.

Him: Yeah. Really. I’ve tried my damn hardest to forget you. When you left … It hurt like hell.

Her: How … exactly does that make you a new man?

Him: Heh, you don’t get it. It’s not just only because you left, right that moment. I changed because I found you. I changed because you left. I changed, ever since…

Her: … Ever since what?

Him: I fell in love with you.

Her: Oh, so now you say something sweet when we’re in the middle of an argument. Typical. We always fight. Why - what makes it different this time?

Him: Because I know you love me, too. Even if I’m being a selfish jackass and you’re being an almighty bitch, we tell each other. I don’t give a damn that we always fight because I want this to work.

Her: Us … ? But you’ll end up … not … Or …

Him: No. Shut up. You left and it was because of my insecurities that I didn’t stop you. But the next time you walk away, I’m walking after you because I want you. I want this to work. I want to see your pissed off face every morning when you hate getting up, and I want to see a smile on your face when I do something totally stupid. Both of us, you and me, every day for the rest of lives and forever … because I love you. And that’s all I give a damn about.

“Sometimes,’ said Pooh, ‘the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.”

Nate: Two years ago at the masquerade ball, I tried to tell you I loved you. But I told Jenny Humphrey. She was wearing your mask.

Serena: You loved me?

Nate: Of course I did. You are the most beautiful, alive person I’ve ever known.

“But who can say what’s best? That’s why you need to grab whatever chance you have of happiness where you find it, and not worry about other people too much. My experience tells me that we get no more than two or three such chances in a life time, and if we let them go, we regret it for the rest of our lives.”

— Haruki Murakami

“Don’t you think it’s better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it, than to be just okay for your whole life?”
— Audrey Niffenegger (The Time Traveler’s Wife)

You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy ice cream, and that’s close enough.

“The past is like using your rear view mirror in the car. It’s good to glance back and know what’s there. But stare too long and you’ll miss what’s in front of you.”

“Not everything you have stays forever. But there are things you would be glad to fight for just so you can have them longer.”

And so today again I resisted texting or instant messaging you. I guess I just needed to protect myself.

Lab alone at 9am tomorrow. Oh the horrors of waking up early.

“Maybe there’s something you’re afraid to say, or someone you’re afraid to love, or somewhere you’re afraid to go. It’s gonna hurt. It’s gonna hurt because it matters”

— John Green

But tonight I miss you more than I should than I thought I could.

“When things break, it’s not the actual breaking that prevents them from getting back together again. It’s because a little piece gets lost - the two remaining ends couldn’t fit together even if they wanted to. The whole shape has changed.”

— John Green

“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.”
— Theodore Isaac Rubin

“She’s tough. She tries to hide it. She’s difficult. But if you make an effort, she’s worth it. She’s worth the effort.”

— Grey’s Anatomy

"Sometimes you have to test someone. Not cause you don’t trust them, but to see how much they’ll sacrifice for you. And sometimes you have to let them go; not cause you suddenly stopped loving them, but to see if they love you enough to come back."

And yes like she said epic failure. Bingo.

"Nobody ever gets tired of loving. But everyone gets tired of waiting, assuming and hurting."

Dear friends,
Thank you so much for all the care concern and love. So heart warming to know that there are so many who cares (:

"Too bad that people can’t switch problems. Because nobody knows how to solve their own problems, but they always know how to solve another’s."

“When perfect couldn’t keep a love alive, when trying your hardest doesn’t seem to work, you feel undeserving and unworthy of (their) love. So we give up. Very few cling onto love and hang on till the very end. But how many actually constantly try/want to be better, and be so for him/her? If you find someone like that, here’s my take: Be sure to hang on to that person, and be the same for him/her.”

So this was us chilling on a friday night. Only when you're young and single.
