Be nice to everyone you meet. They're all fighting a battle you know nothing about
Girls are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. The boys don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. So, the apples up top think there's something wrong with them, when in reality they are amazing. They just have to wait for the right guy to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.
Friends are a single soul dwelling in two bodies
Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight. - Benjamin Franklin
The spaces between your fingers were made so another's could fill them in.
To the attentive eye, each moment of the year has its own beauty... - Ralph Waldo Emerson
It's better to wear out than to rust out. --Richard Cumberland
Attitude is the mind's paintbrush
You can't save a damsel if she likes her distress.
It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop

Some pretty pictures and some quotes
The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that really was.
The brave may not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all.
Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairytale.

The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
I am not in a very good mood, so I'm going to give out some depressing, wistful, thoughtful or bitter quotes. Bleagh. Maybe a display picture. Or a PostSecret.
Quotes:
Don't be afraid of death; be afraid of the un-lived life.
OR
Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.
(I like this quote even though I am not religious) Don't ask God for an easy life, ask Him to make you a strong person.
Happiness is not in our circumstances but in ourselves. It is not something we see, like a rainbow, or feel, like the heat of a fire. Happiness is something we are.
Our eyes are placed in front because it is more important to look ahead than to look back.
An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may would your body, but an evil friend can wound your soul.
Tears are words the heart can't say.
The only way to see the raindbow is to look through the rain.
When the character of a man is not clear to you, look at his friends.
Before death, love like you've never loved, cry like you've never cried, live through days of terror and joy, days of utter satisfaction and days of shame. Live.

More quotes and little passages
Now I'm rocking; I have my quote book in my loft, so I don't have to run anywhere, and it's always here if I want to put some on this blog. :) This first 'quote' was given to me from my friend Tasha. I really like it.
I miss when...
Getting high meant swinging on the playground,
Protection meant wearing a helmet,
All you could get from boys were cooties,
Race issues were only who could run the fastest,
And war was only a card game.
Your worst enemies were your siblings,
Wearing a skirt didn't make you a slut,
And the only drug we knew was cough medicine,
Screwing up meant that we said the alphabet wrong,
The only thing that hurt us were scraped knees,
And goodbyes meant only until tomorrow.
We couldn't wait to grow up.
I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together. -- Marilyn Monroe
Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game. (You caught me, it's from A Cinderella Story)
Those who gossip to you will gossip about you.
Don't throw dirt at people because all you're doing is losing ground.
Life is like a butterfly; so fragile and delicate, yet full of beauty. (haha, I made that a couple of years ago. I thought I was just so clever)
Separation is our sorrow, to meet again our hope.

Oh, I actually have a website that, if anyone ever reads this, should check out. Well, not a website, but from blogspot. It's called PostSecrets. It's where people mail in their secrets to this guy. There is more information on the website, I believe, but some of the secrets are just amazing. It also help you discover the same secrets within yourself. Through reading it, it has gotten me to think about what secrets I have from everybody, secrets about my personality, and I've learned a couple. Here is an example of a PostSecret, a particularly touching one, as well as the website. http://www.postsecret.blogspot.com/

Quotes and a poem called Don't Quit
I finally decided to retrieve my quote book so here are a few of the ones I feel like sharing today. There is also a poem included called Don't Quit, the author of this brilliant piece is unknown.
Quotes:
Never look back on the past, you may trip over the future.
Fear is that little dark room where negatives are produced.
A thousand enemies outside the house are better than one within.
Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly.
Live in the present, remember the past, and fear not the future, for it doesn't exist and never shall. There is only now.
Of course she found it in the last place she looked. If she hadn't found it, she'd still be looking.
A friend is someone who walks in when the whole world has walked out.
Friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our own wings have trouble remembering how to fly.
Don't Quit:
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow --
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint to the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell just how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Some randoms
Okay, so on Friday, I held this Mission Impossible thing. It was SUCH a blast, at least for me, being a little bit tipsy and trying to wander through the woods ;P. It didn't last long though, and then we just hung out. And last night, I snuck out of my house to go watch movies at my friend's, him coming to pick me up on his quad. The timing was SO sketch. As I was walking down the road to go meet him, this car started coming up the road, and since my parents weren't home, I hopped in the ditch. I was hidden for when they went by, and I was so relieved that I had hopped behind a tree. My friend came just 2 minutes later. Sketch.
But! Here are some quotes :
Love is like the wind; you can't see it, but you can feel it (3 guesses what movie it is from. A Walk to Remember :) )
Courage is not lack of fear. It is acting despite the fear.
It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop.- Confucious
Hokey Pokey Anonymous. A place to turn yourself around.-- Haha, my friend found that one, and I just laughed. It's funny :)
I wish I saved all the tears I cried for you so I could fucking drown you in them. - I laughed through my tears on this one, thinking how true it was
Crying doesn't indicate that you are weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you're alive.
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. - Confucious

Some starter quotes
I am quite satisfied with my new template for this blog. After a couple of hours of searching, I found one that I both liked and that worked. But, I thought that I had better post a couple of quotes to start off this blog.
Don't spend your life skipping through to try and find that certain song, just listen to the music along the way and hope you come across it. --- This is actually one of mine. I was just sitting on the bus one day, and I was flipping through my music and not really enjoying all of it. I was trying to find a certain song that I had no idea what the name was or the band, and I all of a sudden thought about how pointless it was to just waste all of that time trying to find something in particular. Then I thought about how that's kind of similar to life, how you shouldn't go through your life looking for love or a certain someone. You should just life your life and hope you come across it :)
I hate missing you, but I love having you to miss.
If you love them, tell them, because hearts are often broken by words left unspoken.
When you feel embarrassed, I'll be your pride. When you need directions, I'll be the guide--- This line is from a *terrific* song by the band Death Cab for Cutie. It's called Passenger Seat. This band is an indie rock band, and their sound is amazing, including their lyrics. Check them out :)
I am the author of my life. Unfortunately, I am writing in pen, and I cannot erase my mistakes.
I wish I could give you all of my firsts, all I can offer you is all of my lasts-- I actually found this off Craigslist a really long time ago.
I think that's good for a starter :) I am SO excited to do this daily, as well as talk about my favourite music
