never give up

"Don't be discouraged; everyone who got where he is started where he was."

Sometimes, I get really confused on what I want to do with my life. It's all a big mess in my head. What should I do? What if I don't get into this school or that program? It all causes a headache that is just way too big. I've learned that sometimes, I just need to take a break to breathe and be patient. As long as I work hard for what I want and believe, I'll do my best.

We're going to make it. Who ever you are, where ever you are, what ever you do, as long as you believe, you're going to make it so don't give up. I believe in you and you're special. You're worth all the fight that you've got and that's a lot. You're gonna make it. Don't doubt yourself. You can reach the moon and even if you don't, you'll land among the stars.

It's not what you do once in a while, it's what you do day in and day out that makes the difference.

"I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything but still, I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do."

a letter to a lost girl.

To a sad face and an empty soul,

I would like to send you my deepest and most sincere apologies. There are not enough words to describe how sorry I am. For each second you felt lost, for each of the millions of tears you shed, for each day you felt so so sick and tired, I'm sorry. It was too much for you to handle but I applaud you for each day you found the strength to deal with it all. The tears have stopped and all is calm now my dear. I'm so sorry you tried to find comfort in things that couldn't really help, like sex, drugs, food, and cutting. I wish you were able to see the toll it took on your precious body. I wish you were able to see and appreciate your beauty. It was a beauty unlike anything else in this world and it came from the courage that I knew you always had but you couldn't see. I'm sorry you were so filled with emotions that it had to find its way out through tears and drops of blood. I'm sorry that you felt as if no one understood. You may not have known this but you inspired me, each time you refused to give up, you created more hope, something desperately needed in this world.
You were never stupid, never useless. You were never really lonely. We're never really alone. We're more loved than we know. Love is always there. You were worth more than you could have ever imagined.
The darkness is finally gone sweet angel. I'm sorry you didn't know that you were loved and that things do get better but my wish is that you no longer feel any pain. One day I hope to see your smile. Your precious, beautiful smile.

tear drops.

Isn't that beautiful?

"When you fall the hardest, you find how strong you are."

we cry for a lot of reasons. It's okay to cry. When we cry and let it all out, we feel so much better. don't be ashamed of releasing your tears. don't be afraid to let it all out. go ahead and and cry if you need to. It won't change anything about you. The idea of crying is beautiful. It may not look so pretty when you look in the mirror but when you cry, it's so good for you. It's a chance to let some pain out of your body. it's a chance to release your troubles and clear your mind. It's nothing to worry about and we should embrace the act of crying and all of its beauty. It's something that will surprisingly make us strong. It doesn't weaken us like most people think. It makes us human. It helps us and protects us. It's something really special and when you think about it, tear drops are quite powerful. They save us.

guess what....

You Are BEAUTIFUL.

#3 another quote :)

It's about love....

Love takes courage but it's worth it. Sometimes it's easy to love and sometimes it takes some work to love some one but it's important to give away love. It's important to love others. It should make you feel good inside. Besides making you feel good, when you love other, you feel more love also. You feel really good about yourself. Try doing a random act of kindness, when you see someone smile, you know how good it is to give away love. It just feels so good and so right. Try it, you'll like it. that reminds me of a song from Yo Gabba Gabba but it has good meaing behind it. It won't hurt to try. Give love a try and spread love like wildfire.

"Love grows by giving. The love we give away is the only love we keep. The only way to retain love is to give it away."

-Elbert Hubbard

another quote....#2 :)

"Be strong now because things will get better. It might be stormy now but it can't rain forever."

This is one of my favorite quotes. It reminds me to never give up. Things will always get better, they can't stay bad forever. This quote is a favorite of mine because it reminds me that it will stop raining. It's important never to forget that. Has something to do with keeping hope alive or something amazing like that. Just know that when things are bad, you have to be strong because you'll be able to smile much brighter when the sun is out and things get better. Sometimes things go bad so we can appreciate it when they're going right. These bad times make us stronger and we're already stonger than we think we are to begin with. Just imagine how strong we are after making it through each "stormy" day.

hope...

We all know hope is real. It's what helps us fight through the hard days. It's what keeps us strong. It's the force that reminds us never to give up. I pray that we've all been able to experience the power of hope. Even if it's just the push that gets you to smile even though you don't feel like it, it's still an amazing force. It's something tremendous in whatever amount you see it in. It's always real. It's always powerful. It's always there for us when we're ready to find it but what does it look like?......I'll keep adding and adding, this isn't it....
