heartbeat

QUOTE
"I need you like a heartbeat."

it's funny how people exaggerate

but this is a very real feeling. of looking at the people in your life and naming off the ones who are so a part of you that they are like your heartbeat. something you take advantage of and you can not live without.

be thankful for them

free

QUOTE
"You belong among the wildflowers. You belong in a a boat out at sea. Sail away, kill off the hours. You belong somewhere you feel free."

everybody has to feel free somewhere. where no one can touch them and no bad thought can interupt them. just one spot where the world comes together to make everything alright. it's a beautiful spot to be. lost in whatever memories that lead you there.

give anything

QUOTE
"All I want to have is all that you can give me and I'll give right back everything I have in me 'cause nothing ever felt as right as this does right now"
-The Best Thing, Relient K

there's always one person in ours lives that we would give anything to. one person who would give us anything. one person who just makes the world all seen fine. sometimes there's even more than one of these wonderful people.

i've got three of them. they're beautiful people. they make me so happy. i think you shoudl htink right now about your people. give them a call or a wall post and just tell them that you care. because every person loves to hear that they are special to someone else.

music

QUOTE
When the world seems dark and torn, the beauty of music is always there to string it back together in breathtaking harmony.

music is beautiful. it tells stories and emotions many wouldn't dream of saying out loud. music is the heart and soul of the world... because where would any of us be without music? probably in a black hole. i would be i know. music fuels. life. it brings beauty to the world. it makes us feel things. good or bad. but mostly good.

too much :)

QUOTE
"Even my best friend wants to beat me up because I say your name too much."

yea. i do say his name way, way too much. but my best friend (laura-best friend) says she doesn't care. so... that's a plus. but it seems like all i think/talk about is him. it's smiley.

but i haven't talked about him to my other best friend (drew- best friend) i wonder if drew will get mad... i think not (not that he can do anything about it ;))

but it's a wonderful feeling, knowing someone affects you that way. i've been searching for it on and off for about seven months now. i love it. i love being with someone who makes me feel like i want to be with them all the time. (except for the fact that we're not "going out") but it's still wonderful. i've had a lot more butterflies than normal of late.

wrapped

QUOTE
"you've got me wrapped around your finger"

and it's the truth. i'm wrapped around his fingers and there's no way to get free now. it will take a lot of sharp objects and ripping. somehow i'm ok with this. i like it. i am his.

"this is the last night you'll spend alone, look me in the eyes so i know you know, i'm everywhere you want me to be. the last night you'll spend alone, i'll wrap you in my arms and i won't let go i'm everthing you need me to be."

repeated and overanalyzed

QUOTE
"CAUTION: anything you say to me will be repeated to and overanalyzed with my best friend."

recently someone wondered why my best friend knew something that they hadn't told her. i laughed and said "because she's Laura." that may not make sense, but it is the reason.

having a best friend means you can share anything with them. you tell them everything. gossip and drama are the main things other people hear about. it's just the way life works. having someone who knows all the same things as you and, most times, thinks in the same manner, is a very good thing.

it makes it so you don't have to worry about analyzing any of life's problems alone. you ahve someone there telling you what they think. it's just great.

especially when friendship gets to the point where you can start a question and they interupt you with the answer. i've had this happen so many times it isn't even funny. and i can tlak with my mouth full and everyone will hear gibberish and i just point to my best friend and she translates for me.

i think everyone needs that kind of friend.

song in your heart

QUOTE
"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words."

and sometimes your friends are the only ones who can hold you together. by lending you their strength. friends are the most important thing in life other than family. they know things you could never tell your family. true friends will shelter you and love you no matter what. even if you make mistakes.

but sometimes it's hard to know who you're true friends are. but next time you spiral down and are on the floor, look up. see who's around you. they are the ones you want to keep forever. they love you no matter what condition yoru soul or heart are in. the rest of yoru friends are just there for fun. just along for the ride.

friends shouldn't be scared to sing you alseep at night if the dark gets too scarey.

stronger

QUOTE
"She looked back on her life and realized everything that happened had only made her that much stronger."

it doesn't matter that this quote is refering to a female. it can really mean anyone. anywhere.

sometimes things just happen in a way that hurts. that hurts really bad. there are really two ways of dealing with this. One is to wallow in it. To just let the hurt flow over you and drown you. You can barely manage it and pretty soon you break from the pressure.

the other way to deal with it is stregnth. to reach down inside yourself and say no. i'm not going to let this control me. i'm going to be strong and i'm going to work everyday towards being alright. that's really the only way. otherwise you'll always be hurt.

waiting around for something to fix you isn't going to work. i've tried it. i know people who have tried it. all of us realized that waiting sucks and does not work. the only that can fix us is ourselves. one day we just decided we were sick of it. and we decided to get better.

this is what makes us stronger. like lifting weights with your mind. next time soemthign bad comes along... you won't let it control you. you'll over come it much faster. you'll be stronger.
