How often do you think we write our own ending before the story is even finished? How often do we give up on ourselves when our lives are just starting? Things get hard and we immediately back away and assume that means we’re going in the wrong direction, doing the wrong thing. If anything, when the waters get thick, that’s our sign to keep going.
Love is never a sure thing, man. You’re never going to be totally certain that the person you offer your heart to will accept it with open hands, but if you don’t take that risk you’ll never reap the benefits of what it has to offer.
I’d rather fight with you, bicker with you, every damn day of my life than having nothing at all. I’m selfish enough to want any piece of you – even if it’s the bad, the ugly, the ridiculous. So even if you hated me, I’d still die a happy man – because I’d still be on your mind.
Don’t let yourself drown. Don’t run or swim away from the safety of the boat. The boat, that’s your home, your family, your life. The preserver that keeps you afloat will always be your wife, your partner. Without a preserver you drown, a preserver without something to hold onto has no purpose, so you see, you need each other... you need to rely on one another for everything. Never forget that if it’s not worth fighting for, it’s not worth having.
That’s how you can tell when someone has a good heart... when you want to be the one to make it beat.
I thought I was okay with dying. Until I met her.
I was pretty sure that’s how you know you’re falling for someone – when you want the good and bad, when you want everything, regardless of how horrible, how dark. You want it all, because at the end of the day, it’s still them.
It wasn’t that it had been too long without a girl. It was that it’d been a lifetime without the right one.
Right. I’m fine, you’re fine, everything’s fine. Oh, look, I think a rainbow’s sprouting out of your ass.
The other thing about moments that are given to us? They’re limited. We don’t get an endless amount. If you miss them, they’re gone. Time machines don’t exist; you can’t go back and fix what’s been broken.
Yeah, Chase. I have a cow under my bed. It’s invisible, though, so you can’t see it. But sometimes at night it comes out to play. What the hell is wrong with your brain?
I don’t to save the world- I just want to save you.
Forgiveness is never given in order to make peace with the offender. It’s given to make peace with yourself.
I truly believed that the greatest sacrifice someone could make in life was putting someone else’s needs before your own wants and desires. Loving someone with such a passion that you’d suffer the rest of your life just so you could see them smile. You’d go to hell and back – if only it meant keeping them safe. -Nixon.
I don’t deserve her.” I cleared my throat. “But I want her anyways.
And that’s how life is measured – not by the length, but by the strength of those moments spent together.
My world shattered that day. I lost my best friend. I lost my heart. My shield. My soul. And buried it right along with his body. The boy who hadn’t been who he said he was – the boy who’d protected me from my own family. The boy who took two bullets for me and paid with his life. Bang, Bang was the new soundtrack to my life. Welcome to the Mafia.
Never ask a ninja if she can jump – it’s degrading.
Cuts heal, bruises fade – but broken hearts? They carry scars for a lifetime.
I hurt all the damn time because my stupid heart has decided for one reason or another that it can’t survive without being next to yours. -Chase.
