progression of love
i miss the can’t-get-enough-of-you, sit-on-the-edge-of-my-seat-waiting-for-your-call, butterflies-everywhere, head-over-heels kind of love that you can only have when you haven’t actually been in love yet.
i miss the want-to-spend-every-second-with-you, want-to-wake-up-to-your-kiss, will-do-anything-as-long-as-i’m-with-you kind of love that you can only have when you’re in the honeymoon phase of a new relationship, where both parties have just fallen in love.
i miss the want-to-stay-home-and-watch-tv, sweet-kisses-without-sex, cuddly, complacent kind of love that you can only have when you’ve been in a relationship for a long time and are simply comfortably happy in love.
because right now i’m in the i’m-confused-does-love-actually-exist state of mind, wondering if i can grasp on to some sort of silly happiness in being able to let someone make me smile.
“You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.”

Some nice thoughts for today
1) At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.
2) At least 15 people in this world love you in someway.
3) The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.
4) A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don’t like you.
5) Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they fall asleep.
6) You mean the world to someone.
7) If not for you, someone may not be living.
8) You are special and unique.
9) Someone that you don’t even know exists, loves you.
10) When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
11) When you think the world has turned it’s back on you, take a look; you most likely turned your back on the world.
12) When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won’t get it but if you believe in yourself, you probably, sooner or later, will get it.
13) Always remember compliments you recieved. Forget about the rude remarks.
14) Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.
15) If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.
“You know it’s been said that we just don’t recognize the significant moments of our lives while they are happening. We grow complacent with ideas, or things or people and we take them for granted and it’s usually not until that thing is about to be taken away from you that you’ve realized how wrong you’ve been that you realized how much you need it, how much you love it.”
—Nathan Scott (OTH) (via kari-shma) (via quote-book)
“Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it’s cracked up to be. That’s why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don’t risk anything, you risk even more.”

In a perfect world, we wouldn’t need mirrors, because every girl would have a boy to tell her she’s beautiful.

even when I’m dead, I’ll swim through the Earth,
like a mermaid of the soil, just to be next to your bones.

“Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one’s weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.”
—Mahatma Gandhi (via iindia) (via quote-book) (via admoveo-lia) (via heartwarming)
“I like the things that I like, but I love everything. There’s more choice in like. Because even the worst things have things to love in them.”
—Cassie (Skins) (via quote-book)
“Over the course of the average lifetime you meet a lot of people. Some of them stick with you through thick and thin. Some weave their way through your life and disappear forever. But once in a while someone comes along who earns a permanent place in your heart.”
—The Wonder Years (via littlemiss) (via ilovepink912) (via lovebot)
“Jealousy is the tribute mediocrity pays to genius.”
