Never make someone a priority when they make you an option.
There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment, you must choose your direction. Will you fight to stay on the path? Will others tell you who you are or will you label yourself? Will you be haunted by your choice or will you embrace your new path? Each morning you choose to move forward or to simply give up..

With the word ‘teenager’ comes alot of labels…… “trouble maker, druggie, immature, rebel, etc. There`s not much we can do to stop those labels. Parents swear that they`ve seen everything we have, but if youu look at a teenagers life, it`s not as simple as adults think it is.i have seen pretty much every drug youu can think of and the result ofit. … I`ve been sexually assaulted and abused. I`ve had one of myclose friends commit suicide, i`ve had an eating disorder and i`ve donedrugs…. But somehow i`ve overcome all of that and grown into a respectable teenager. I`ve become stronger from itand now i get good grades and have many, many relationships, friends,boyfriend, even a pretty good one with my mom and counselor…. NORMAL relationships. I`ve made mistakes and learned from them… If that makes me a bad person, so be it. Use me as a bad example….. I don`t care… I am who i am. And thats just me. .. There are millions of teens out there who are worse off than me but somehow still manage to get up every morning, put on a fake smile, and walk through the halls of our terrifying highschool… My mom doesn`t even know what weed looks like,didn`t have sex until marriage, and didn`t drink until she was 28…now tells me our parents have seen everything we have. Times certainlyhave changed since they were in our shoes.. And we`ll never be understood.

As you go through life,
you'll see there is so much more

is things don't always go the way we planned.
Whether you hate them or
love them you're still talking
about them and that's the obsession
Isn't it weird how
the truth spreads slower
than rumors?
Bad luck shouldn't keep
you from trying,

I hate how the slightest memory brings me to pure tears, but at the end I keep doing this to myself and I'm not willing to stop.

Sometimes, you're closest friends end up hurting you more than your worse enemies would ever come close to.
You and your rumors have one thing in common: you both get around

It seems to me that the best relationships, the ones that last, are frequently the ones rooted from friendship. You know… One day you look at the person and see something more than the night before, like a switch has been flicked on, and the person who was just a friend, is suddenly the only person you can imagine yourself with
Well, the most common question is… How can I tell if a boy likes me? Simple: look at his pants

Dang right I'm good in bed… I can sleep for hours!

Hugging is healthy. It helps the immune system, cures depression, reduces stress, and induces sleep. It's invigorating, rejuvenating & has no unpleasant side effects. It's nothing less than a miracle drug. Hugging is all natural. It's organic, naturally sweet, has no artificial ingredients, environmentally friendly & is 100% wholesome. Hugging is the ideal gift. Great for any occasion, fun to give & receive, shows you care, comes with it's own wrapping paper and, of course, is fully returnable (=
Just a little advice ..
Don't play games with a girl that
can play them better :]
Having a boyfriend
break up with you and tell you
"We can still be friends"
is like your dog dying
and your mom telling you-
"You can still keep it" <|3
You know that feeling when everything seems so perfect one moment & so messed up another? You know that feeling when you think everything's going to be alright because just maybe fate will be on your side, but instead it just screws up the very next? I gave up my entire life, just hoping you'd realize how much I love you, but I guess perfect moments don't last very long & nothing's going to be alright because fate will never be on my side.
Friends with benefits? More than friends? Don't sample the goodies unless you're willing to risk addiction and withdrawl.

Why is it that every time I read a love quote, your name is the first name to pop into my head?
I love how your eyes close whenever you kiss me. & when you`re away from me, I love how you miss me. I love the way you always treat me tenderly. But most of all, I love the way that you love me. I love how your heart beats whenever I hold you. I love how you think of me without being told to. I love the way your touch is always heavenly. But most of all, I love how you love me.
True friendship isn`t about being there
when it`s convenient;
it`s about being there when it`s not.
A good friend loves you in spite of your weirdness, but a best friend loves you because of it
I hate highschool cause it has made my best relationships go up in smoke
It was true. There were so many guys in the world.
But of course you didn`t fall in love with every one of them.
& sometimes you still held on to someone from your past,
hoping that maybe someday they`d come back. That was the
sickening thing. I still ached for him & I knew he was miles
away from me, aching for someone else. & I wondered
how that was fair.
Trust is like virginity… Once you lose it, you never get it back.
Just cuz I said I love you, doesn't mean it's true. That just goes to show you, girls can be players too.
This is the story of my life, and I write it every day. I hope that you're by my side when I write the last page.
Sometimes ; you just have to close your eyes & jump
What do you do when the one person you could talk to about anything, isnt there anymore, and you can't talk to them anymore, cuz there will be shit to pay for it? When the one person who keeps you strong, you can no longer lean on them? Then what do you do?
Don't let someone create you… Becase once they do, you give them the power to destroy you.
Life is 10% what you make it.
90% how you take it.
It`s halloween all year here ;
people are always trying to be

The Teenager 10 Commandments

Friends are like permanent markers; You can’t erase their mistakes, but in the long run it doesn’t even matter because you learn to deal with them; knowing that life isn’t perfect- Plus, they invented [ White Out ] anyway, so you could easily cover up the mistakes and move on…
In life, you have to be yourself; in order to be yourself, you have to be honest. And in order to be honest, you have to be true… and the only way you can do that… is to be you =]
Hope, it’s just everywhere. There isn’t a single day that one can live without facing hope. But only when you begin to distrust it, will hope abandon you. The second you doubt it’s ability to have faith in you, is that you don’t have faith in yourself.
Success comes before work,
Only in the dictionary
Vince Lombardi
If you tell the truth,
You don’t have to remember anything
Mark Twain
The world is a dangerous place,
Not because of those who do evil,
But because of those who look on and do nothing
Albert Einstein
Make the most of the best,
And least of the worst
Robert Louis Stevenson
I feel that the greatest reward for doing,
Is the opportunity to do more
Jonas Salk
The most important trip you may take in life,
Is meeting people halfway
Henry Boye
It is the greatest mistake to do nothing
Because you can always do a little…
Do what you can
Sydney Smith
If you judge people,
You have no time love them
Mother Teresa
Good things happen to people that work hard…
And if those certain things don’t come,
Then you work
harder
Do anything and everything in life… because there’s gonna come a time when you think back when you were just a kid; When you’re biggest fear was that Santa Claus was gonna give you coal for Christmas. That you’d stick your tooth under our pillow, and t he tooth fairy would forget to leave you a 5 dollar bill…And that it wouldn't cross the Easter Bunny’s mind to leave you a basket of treats. Then you’ll see that you’re only fear you can’t seem get over is the fear that all those little childhood worries are just gonna be memories… and before you know it, you’d be the one saying, “ Wow, those were the days…”
Life passes you by so much faster when you’re living it for someone else. That’s why when you get stuck on one thing, you forget to cherish who really matters
Sometimes life just gets so hard… that there’s no way that things could ever clear up… Moments like this influence me to cry; but I don’t, because I know afterwards, once you’ll notice me…I’ll be just fine
"Sometimes, you gotta teach yourself how to get up from a hard fall… Cuz if you call for someone's help… They just might push you back down…. "
Never settle for average- Because in the long run, life will show you that there’s no such thing as “good enough..”
Life isn’t about being fake; It’s not about laughing, when you really have to cry… Life isn’t about getting defined, and it’s most definitely not about defining others. Life is about showing your true colors. It’s about believing in yourself, start to finish. To cry and laugh at the same time; because there’s always a light end to a dark cave. To being your own person, not the person people want you to be… Because either way if they choose to like you, then they will. That’s what life is really about; all the good things, packed in one…
Whatever life gives; take it… Whatever you give life, can change everything..
People who show you they’re there for you, and who love you as you are.. Humans that cherish your company, and that laugh with you not at you. The known strangers that show you they care, and don’t let you regret a thing. Those are friends;; not the ones that tell you they love you, or that let you cry afterwards for your doubts;;
Love is only but a word, unless you fulfill it’s every meaning
Words that are never spoken
Individuals but both broken
Time that is wasted on all those tears
Having the courage to get rid of your fears
Overcoming the fact that you two might never be
Underestimating the power of love’s ability
Thoughts only countless but never the less
Years of regrets but never doubtless
Overtime people change routes
Undeniable but there’s no me without you
Take the letters from each beginning, and then you’ll get the truth… that life isn’t complete, when I’m w.i.t.h.o.u.t. Y.o.u
Love is like a stick of gum. There’s so many flavors, but you’re really attracted to one. Then, a new flavor comes out, and you move on…It’s the same cycle… You put it in your mouth, chew it up, and spit it out. Because after a while, the new and fresh flavor, just starts wears off…
Destiny isn’t held in the stars, it’s held in who we really are
If you can learn from hard knocks, then you can learn from soft touches
Carolyn Kenmore
It takes more than just dirt and water, for the whole flower to blossom…
And here we are, in the hectic world. Trying to figure out the pros and cons to life, and why problems are caused.
Such
I've learned to not expect too much out of life… Cuz it's those small things that always let you down..
And I think to myself, "As long as you're happy, then I'm happy." But what can I think when I know you're happy with someone else…
Life takes tears, Life takes pain, life takes moments, where you dance in the rain… Life takes hope, and life takes laughter, Life takes that special person, that you’ll always be after. Life takes joy, and life takes change, but sometimes somethings, always remain the same
You have to learn to accept life as you have it. Cuz you’ll cry for useless things, fear of the following day, and fall like you’ve never touched the ground… in the long run, you’ll laugh at how much your life has changed,.. Because of that one person that helped you recuperate.
Friends are the ones that would give the world to you. Best friends are the ones that already have… <33
Love is like a cloud, over time, it changes form. But the meaning of it, remains the same.
Life isn’t about being perfect 100% of the time. It’s about failing as much as you succeed.
If there’s no hope in your heart, then the thoughts in you mind don’t matter.
And what would you do if you loved someone and knew you could never afford their affection… or even just a simple hello…
In reality, nothing in life comes free.
You work for something you want or need.
We‘re just not living in some garage sale.
So as much as you succeed, you’re destined to fail.
Forgive and forget;
forget what you feel
& remember what you deserve
Never under any circumstances
say "things can't get worse"
life will prove you wrong
Imagine a world without war. A world without AIDS. A world never poor, because everyone got paid. A world with clean air, so everyone could breathe. A world where leukemia didn’t still your hair, and where going blind allowed you to see. Imagine a world with endless dreams, dreamt will all eyes open. A world filled with sunshine beams, and words for the def spoken. Imagine a world in color, and the black and [white] will soon go, a world where we love each other, and where every star can glow.
I wish I could pause everything. I wish i could put my life on hold, just for a second. I wish I freeze my tears for a little while. I wish I could put emotions on layaway until I know how to handle them. There’s a difference between, “You can’t have everything in life,” and, “You can’t talk without taking action.” Believe me, I would grant all my wishes if I had the power. But I don’t. So the only other choice I have is to close my eyes, and runaway. Bend down to my knees and just pray. Be thankful for what I have this very day. And for everything I’ve been blessed to say.
Depend on no one because in life there’s a road you take. And one day, that road splits in two. At the end of each road is success, or failure. This isn’t a “guessing game,” it’s a, “You’re the only one that can choose your destiny.” By depending on no one, you make your own decision on you’re life. So choose wisely because either way, there’s no one to blame around you.
Yesterday was a day before today. Tomorrow is after today. Today is after yesterday, but before tomorrow. Yesterday is behind both tomorrow and today. Today is between yesterday and tomorrow. So tomorrow will be today after yesterday. Which ever way it goes… live for right now. Because those days aren’t guaranteed… not even to the richest man
**Flashback;
Turn back in time where you used to sit 4 hours watching the Rugrats. Where you wouldn’t ever leave your house without your nano baby, and when Blues Clues was actually challenging. Rewind back to the times when your favorite shows were Doug, Ren & Stimpy, Pinky and the Brain, AAAAAAAH Real Monsters!, and Rocko’s modern Life. When you watched re-runs of TGIF, Step by Step, Family Matters, Dinosaurs, and Boy Meets World. When you remember reading every series of Goosebumps, or in that case, remember listening to your mom read them as she grew bored and bored and as you grew more excited as to what would happen next. When bringing plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school was pretty much cool, and saying “NOT,” after every sentence was the way to talk. When every argument was settled by rock paper scissors, bubble gum bubble gum in a dish, or daddy had a donkey inky binky bonky. When cops and robbers was a daily activity, and when hide and go seek was put to pause only when it was snack time. The days when we used to actually obey our parents and when the radio was all we depended on for music. When you knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the green ranger, were meant to be together. When you always wanted to send in a tape to America's Funniest Home Videos . . . But never taped anything funny…so you gave up. When the Magic School Bus made you think that school buses could fly, and when yo-yos made you popular. When getting married meant buying your crush a Ring Pop, and blabbing some random words behind the dumpster. When reading that little paper in the fortune cookie meant everything to you because it predicted your life. The days when you could tell furbie all your little secrets and expect him to talk back, and when Beanie Babies were the talk of the class. When you got creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" And when you knew the Macarena by heart. When you lied to your parents to bring you to McDonalds because you were starving, when really, you wanted to play in the play place. When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing, and when checking out drawing books and "Rainbow Fish" from the library was the cool thing to do.
Before we realized all this would eventually disappear we didn’t bother to think of how good things were.
Flashback…to the world we live in now.
**You think you know who your true friends are? Wait till high school & see who's there for you when your ex boyfriend spreads rumors about you. Think you'll never do drugs? Wait till it's right there in front of you & all your "friends" are doing it. Think your tough? Wait till you say the wrong thing to the wrong person-see who backs down first. Think you're smart? Wait till you have an English paper, science project, history test & a 10 minute monologue due tomorrow cause you were absent for 1 day. Think you're cool? Wait till you're the only one who doesn't make the sports team, see how cool you are then. You think you're popular? Wait till your parents can't afford the new Hollister jeans everyone has. Think you'll never fall in love? Wait till a guy looks deep in your eyes & says he loves you. Think you'll never get your heart broken? Wait till that same guy who said he loved you is holding another girl behind your back. Think you won't have sex? Wait till the guy you think you love says it'll make you closer. Think "nothing's going to happen to you"? Yea wait till you're sitting in a jail cell, wondering how you got caught. Think that you're always going to be your own individual? Well wait till one morning when you look in the mirror & you're just like everybody else.
Hope you liked them…
*Much Love* **God Bless**
