“ 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.
“ Don’t find someone who can simply sing your music or someone who could paint colors on you. Rather, find someone that cannot dance but who’s willing to dance with you even without music.
“ Do you ever wonder what it feels like to be someone other than yourself? What if, just for a day, you could be anyone you wanted? You could see what life the popular girl in school lives, or learn how hard the pressures of fame really is in Hollywood. You know whose life I’d want to have for a day? His. Just so I could see if he’s actually worth the wait.
“ And every tear that had to fall from my eyes, every day I wondered how I’d get through the night. Every change that life has thrown at me. I’m thankful for every break in my heart, I’m grateful for every start. Some pages turned, some bridges burned, but they were lessons learned.
“ It’s amazing the things you realize when you lose someone. You get mad at yourself for not saying the things you could have said a million times. You take for granted the days you spent doing nothing when you could have been with them. Anyone can be taken, at any point in our lives, but we always wait until they’re gone to say the things we never had the courage to say.
“ The hardest thing ever is taking chances. Because you can only take so much pain. And you can only get hurt so many times before you create a bubble around yourself to avoid any more scars. And then you end up never really living at all. So we deal with pain. We take chances and we take risks, because either way we’re going to lose, and it’s going to hurt.
“ I don’t want to wait anymore. I choose to believe that there is nothing more sacred or profound than this day. I choose to believe that there may be a thousand big moments embedded in this day, waiting to be discovered like tiny shards of gold. The big moments are the daily, tiny moments of courage and forgiveness and hope that we grab on to and extend to one another. That’s the drama of life, swirling all around us, and generally I don’t even see it, because I’m too busy waiting to become whatever it is I think I am about to become. The big moments are in every hour, every conversation, every meal, every meeting.
“ Another Thanksgiving has come and gone. And what am I most thankful for? The truth. Sometimes it’s the truth you’ve been trying not to face, or the truth that will change your life. Sometimes it’s the truth that’s a long time coming. Or the truth that you prayed would never see the light of day. Some truths may not be heard the way we hoped they would. But they linger, long after they’ve been said. But the kind of truth I’m most thankful for? The kind you never see coming, that falls right into your lap.
— Gossip Girl
“The truth of the matter is, people are going to stay in our hearts even if they don’t stay in our lives.
“ I’m afraid of not having enough time. Not enough time to understand people, how they really are, or to be understood myself. I’m afraid of quick judgments and mistakes that everybody makes. You can’t fix them without time. I’m afraid of seeing snapshots instead of movies.
— The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
“ Doesn’t matter how tough we are, trauma always leaves a scar. It follows us home, it changes our lives, trauma messes everybody up, but maybe that’s the point. All the pain and the fear and the crap. Maybe going through all of that is what keeps us moving forward. It’s what pushes us. Maybe we have to get a little messed up, before we can step up.
— Grey’s Anatomy
“ It’s like all of the bad stuff that you went through, that you hated along the way; the people who disappointed you, the things that didn’t go the way you wanted; suddenly you feel grateful for them, because those are the things that got you here, to this.
“ I never thought I’d hear myself saying this, but thank you. Because if you hadn’t of come along, I never would have learned that my worst days could also have been my best. Because when a heart breaks, it also opens; and once a heart opens a number of things can happen, and some of them can be wonderful.
“ Sometimes you have to be strong for yourself. You have to know that you’re a good person and a good friend. What’s meant to be will end up good and what’s not – won’t. Love is worth fighting for, but sometimes you can’t be the only one fighting. At times, people need to fight for you. If they don’t, you just have to move on and realize what you gave them was more than they were willing to give you. Hopefully, people realize great things when they come around. And don’t lose something real. Always fight, until you can’t anymore, and then be fought for.
