come on and open your eyes
because baby, i'm standing right here
& i'm waiting for you to make your move.
let's face it; i'm all you've got and you know it.

Imagine how many stories are
hidden under just one smile.

You're way too young to believe
it's not going to be okay.

One of these moments,
we might fall into forever...
-unknown

Suddenly, between sheets and eyelids,
I am reminded why I don't do this..
I fall in love far too quickly,
I never want him to forget me.

Why do you blame her for leaving,
you're the one who just stood there
and watched her walk away

Sometimes things are not meant to last..
they just take a place in your heart
& make you a little smarter for the next time

Have you ever denied your feelings
for someone because your
fear of rejection was too hard to handle?

you live, you learn.
you crash & you burn.

It turns out, you can't save people from themselves.

-unknown

Take chances, make mistakes. That's how you grow.

Pain nourishes your courage.

You have to fail in order to practice being brave.

-Mary Tyler Moore

Words For Strength:

It was time for a little self-respect. It was time to let go.

Time to move on

~The Wonder Years

The pain is just too strong right now & the tears are still lingering on my face.

That's why I think it is best that I just let go...
~Anonymous

And I will face the world around me knowing that I'm strong enough to let you go.

And I will fall in love again because I can.

~Leann Rimes

I'm still drying my own tears, getting over my own fears in life.

So I wanna make sure this time, that I'm strong enough...to give it my all

~Athena Cage
