Don't stop dreaming because there is
nothing wrong in wanting something more.

May your coming year be filled with
magic and dreams and good madness.
I hope you read some fine books
and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful
and don't forget to make some art-write or draw
or build or sing or live as only you can.
And I hope, somewhere in the next year,
you surprise yourself.

It'll happen soon; catch the moon.

There's a point in life when you get
tired of chasing everyone and trying
to fix everything, but it's not giving up.
It's realizing that you don't need certain people
and all the crap they put you through.

It's funny how one summer can change everything.
It must be something about the heat & the smell of chlorine,
fresh-cut grass & honeysuckle, asphalt sizzling
after late-day thunderstorms,
 the steam rising while everything drips around it.
Something about long, lazy days & whirring air conditioners
and bright plastic flip-flops from the drugstore
thwacking down the street.
Something about fall being so close; another year,
another Christmas, another beginning.
So much in one summer, stirring up like the storms
 that crest at the end of each day,
blowing out all the heat and dirt
to leave everything gasping and cool.
Everyone can reach back to one summer 
& lay a finger to it, finding the exact point
when everything changes.
-That Summer

It's days like these when the clouds are out,
covering the sun that I think about you.
The sun is gone, hiding from me
and I wonder why I'm even outside
But then I remember that even though I can't see it,
the sun is still shining down on me.
That's kinda how you are, you know?
Even though you aren't always with me,
I know you are still there wherever I am.
[quotes_fantabulous]

All our young lives we search for
someone to love, someone to make us complete.
We choose partners and change partners
We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope,
all the while wondering if somewhere, somehow
someone perfect is searching for us.

There's a magic in risking everything
for a dream that nobody sees but you.
-Million Dollar Baby

In the end, we only regret
the chances we didn't take,
the relationships we were afraid to have,
and the decisions we took too long to make.

Maybe not everything is meant to last forever.
Some things are like, like skywriting.
Like a really beautiful thing and then-you know.
-Little Manhattan
