A Reader

“Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve. Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag. She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she finds the book she wants. You see the weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a second hand book shop? That’s the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow. She’s the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street. If you take a peek at her mug, the non-dairy creamer is floating on top because she’s kind of engrossed already. Lost in a world of the author’s making. Sit down. She might give you a glare, as most girls who read do not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she likes the book. Buy her another cup of coffee. Let her know what you really think of Murakami. See if she got through the first chapter of Fellowship. Understand that if she says she understood James Joyce’s Ulysses she’s just saying that to sound intelligent. Ask her if she loves Alice or she would like to be Alice.It’s easy to date a girl who reads. Give her books for her birthday, for Christmas and for anniversaries. Give her the gift of words, in poetry, in song. Give her Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings. Let her know that you understand that words are love. Understand that she knows the difference between books and reality but by god, she’s going to try to make her life a little like her favorite book. It will never be your fault if she does. She has to give it a shot somehow. Lie to her. If she understands syntax, she will understand your need to lie. Behind words are other things: motivation, value, nuance, dialogue. It will not be the end of the world. Fail her. Because a girl who reads knows that failure always leads up to the climax. Because girls who understand that all things will come to end. That you can always write a sequel. That you can begin again and again and still be the hero. That life is meant to have a villain or two. Why be frightened of everything that you are not? Girls who read understand that people, like characters, develop. Except in the Twilightseries. If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are. You will propose on a hot air balloon. Or during a rock concert. Or very casually next time she’s sick. Over Skype. You will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn’t burst and bled out all over your chest yet. You will write the story of your lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes. She will introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and Aslan, maybe in the same day. You will walk the winters of your old age together and she will recite Keats under her breath while you shake the snow off your boots. Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads. Or better yet, date a girl who writes.”

I knew what it was like to love, but I never knew the feeling of being loved in return. I heard stories and watched many people experience it, wow did it seem amazing. I know some things in life are not meant to be, but I wish I received the love I gave. I just wanted to know the feeling of being loved back and having someone there to make me happy and appreciate me for once.

To be honest with you, I dont have the words to make you feel better, but I do have the arms to give you a hug, ears to listen to whatever you want to talk about, and i have a heart; a heart that's aching to see you smile again.

Currently

"She moved on, and
i feel sorry for you,
because she thought
you were the most amazing boy ever.

If she could have had any guy
in the world,
she still would have picked you.

Now, you're just
another part of her past,
a memory more faded every day.

And someday, she'll find the one
she deserves, and he will make her
the happiest girl in the world."

As you grow up, you will learn than even the person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.

You'll fight with your best friend
You'll blame a new love for things an old one did
You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love

So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Dont be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

Just one simple reminder :

No one can go with you for a lifetime, so you have to adjust yourself to be alone;
No one will help you again and again, so you have to fight all the time.

So Soon

Just let this sink in...

One day you'll be at your last friday night football game. One day you'll be at your last game with your team. One day you'll be taking your last test and eating your last school lunch. One day you'll be have your young and wild saturday night with people you've made a million memories with. One day you'll be standing in an alphabetical ordered lose in a cap & gown with people who you watched grow up. People who watched you grow up. Some of those people you'll never see again or hear about. One day you'll forget about all the people you knew, and you'll barely remember the memories until you find a pictures that makes you think of one. One day you'll be packing up 18 years of your life into boxes and hugging your parents goodbye.

It's sad..

One day you wont be in high school anymore. And we're all ready to leave so soon.

And yeah, we're all already did it.

But I would miss you guys so much, XII Multimedia 1.

Ha!

I'm the kind of  person that when i cry, i cry
When i fall for someone, i fall hard

People tell me I'm too intense when it comes to emotions
I'll do anything to be around you

I dont always look perfect and sometimes i get insecure
And i may have flaws,

But I'll love you better than anyone else ever could.

HIM

I had to get over [him]. For months now, a stone had been sitting in my heart. I'd shed a lot of tears over [him], lost a lot of sleep, eaten a lot of cake batter. Somehow, I had to move on. [Life] would be hell if i didn't shake loose from the grip he had on my heart. I most definitely didn't want to keep feeling this way, alone in love affair meant for two. Even if he'd felt like [The One]. Even if I'd always thought we'd end up together. Even if he still had a choke chain on my heart.

Advice

The best advice I've ever gotten
was said that i shouldn't be in a
relationship with anyone whom
i wouldn't marry, for it's a waste
of time and takes you off the market.

So, dont worry about relationship.

Build friendship, and one day
maybe you'll suddenly meet your
soul mate, or you'll realize
you want to spend the rest of your life
with your best friend.

Your young life shouldn't be spent
trying to fall in love
or even having to worry about a partner.

Your life right now should be filled
with spending time on finding yourself
and building friendship.

A Letter To My Future Husband

It's funny to think that we're strangers
and you're sitting in some other room
in some other house
maybe even in some other country
thinking about things that
won't even cross my mind.


It's funny to think that you're out there
dreaming and loving and
wishing upon the same stars
that i look up when night falls
like a curtain over the horizon.


It's funny to think that someday
you will love me
but today
you have no idea
who I am.


                                                                                           
p.s when the time comes, I will love you too♥

Welcome To High School

Where you will be judged on your appearance
Where you wont be able to talk to any of your friends
Where the drama will fill your head with anxiety
Where you should be worrying about schoolwork, but aren't
Where your probably wont love the people around you
Where your heart will be broken multiple times
Where you will fail that big test you studied all night
Where you will spend most of your day wishing you were elsewhere
Where you will make friends and enemies
Where you will get in fights and learn painful lessons
Where eight valuable hours of your day will be wasted
Where you will see a lot of people that you really don't want to see

HAVE A NICE THREE YEARS!

Ada banyak serangkaian bintang disana. Disana... jauh tak dapat ku genggam. Hanya ku lihat dan tak akan pernah bisa ku jamak. Seperti dirinya, yang hanya bisa ku tatap dari kejauhan, yg bahkan dia tak tau bahwa sedang ku perhatikan. Seperti jarum jam yang saling mendekati. Tapi yang akhirnya selalu pergi menjauhi satu sama lain. Hanya saling berkejaran, bersetuhan tapi tak tau kapan dia harus berhenti sampai baterai itu habis. Aku tak tau saat dia mati aku berada didekatmu, atau pergi menjauhimu...

This Generation Can't Communicate

I think what happens too often is that two people just stop talking and each one wants to talk to the other but they're afraid they seem clingy or annoying so they just wait silently, thinking that if the other person really misses them they'll talk to them. And each person seems fine to the other, like their life keeps going and they act like things are perfectly normal, so eventually they both just give up because if the other person really wanted/needed them in their life, they would have said something. But, nope.. This generation can't communicate.

Tak Ada Yang Perlu Di Maafkan

          Jika nanti semua berakhir buruk dan kamu mengutuki setiap jejak yang tertinggal, saya minta maaf. Jika nanti kita terpisah karena terbentur kenyataan dan kepala sakit berkepanjangan, saya minta maaf. Saya minta maaf atas semua yang mungkin akan terjadi, tapi tidak untuk saat ini.
          Mungkin kita menyesali hari kemarin, mungkin kita gelisah akan hari esok. Tapi bukankah hari ini kita masih tertawa? Dan saya percaya jika sepasang manusia bahagia bersama, sesungguhnya tak ada yang perlu ditakutkan, tak ada yang perlu di maafkan.

The Negativity Of The World

"An entire sea of water can't sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship. Similarly, the negativity of the world can't put you down unless you allow it to get inside you."

Remind Us

It's easy to feel hopeful on a beautiful day like today, but there will be dark days ahead of us too. There will be days where you feel all alone and that's when hope is needed most. No matter how buried it gets or how lost you feel, you most promise me that you will hold on to hope. Keep it alive! We have to be greater than that we suffer. My wish for you is to become hope. People need that and even if we fail, what better way is there to live? As we look around here today at all the people who helped make us who we are, I know it feels like we're saying goodbye but we will carry a piece of each other into everything we do next. To remind us of who we are and if were meant to be

You didn't love Her.

"You didn't love her. You just didn't to be alone. Or maybe, maybe she was good for your ego. Or maybe she made you feel better about your miserable life, but you didn't love Her. Because, you don't destroy the person (read:me) that you love."

Such A Good Quotes

"You say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to walk under it. You say you love sun, but you seek shade when it is shining. You say you love wind, but when it comes you close your window. So that's why I'm scared when you say you love me."

One Direction - Still The One

[Liam:]
Hello, hello, I know it's been a while
But baby, I got something that I really wanna let you know, yeah
Something that I wanna let you know, oh, oh, oh

[Louis:]
You say, you say to everybody that you hate me
Couldn't blame you 'cause I know I left you all alone, yeah
I know that I left you all alone

Yeah, now I'm back at your door
You're looking at me unsure
I should've seen it before
You're all I think about, baby

[All:]
I was so stupid for letting you go
But I-I-I know you're still the one
You might have moved on
But girl, you should know
That I-I-I know you're still the one
I know it's saying too much
But I will never give up
I was so stupid for letting you go
But I-I-I know you're still the one
I-I-I know you're still the one

[Niall:]
Hello, hello, I'm really hoping you'll forgive me
I keep talking, begging, tell me what I wanna hear, yeah
Girl, just tell me what I wanna hear

[Harry:]
I tried, I tried to start again and find somebody
But I remember all the times and all the words we said, yeah
I can't get it out of my head, yeah

[Zayn:]
Now I'm back at your door
You're looking at me unsure
I should've seen it before
You're all I think about, baby

[All:]
I was so stupid for letting you go
But I-I-I know you're still the one
You might have moved on
But girl, you should know
That I-I-I know you're still the one
I know it's saying too much
But I will never give up
I was so stupid for letting you go
But I-I-I know you're still the one

Hey you, you're still the one
Hey you, you're still the one
Hey you, you're still the one
Hey you-

You're still the one

I know it's saying too much (Yeah)
But I will never give up (C'mon)
I was so stupid for letting you go
But I-I-I know you're still the one
I know you're still the one

ONE DIRECTION - SHE'S NOT AFRAID

Yeah (aha), one, two, three, four!

[Harry:]
She sneaks out in the middle of the night, yeah
Tight dress with the top cut low
She's addicted to the feeling of letting go, oh-woah, let it go.

[Louis:]

She walks in and the room just lights up
But she don't want anyone to know
That I'm the only one that gets to take her home, oh-woah, take her home

[Liam:]
But every time I tell her that I want more
She closes the door

She's not afraid of all the attention
She's not afraid of running wild
How come she's so afraid of falling in love?
She's not afraid of scary movies
She likes the way we kiss in the dark
But she's so afraid of f-f-falling in love, love

[Niall:]
Maybe she's just trying to test me
Wanna see how hard I'm gonna work
Wanna see if I can really tell how much she's worth, what you're worth

[Louis:]

Maybe all her friends have told her, "Don't get closer
He'll just break your heart"

[Niall:]
But either way she sees in me
And it's just so hard, so hard

[Liam:]
'Cause every time I tell her how I feel
She says it's not real

(One, two, three, four)

She's not afraid of all the attention
She's not afraid of running wild
How come she's so afraid of falling in love?
She's not afraid of scary movies
She likes the way we kiss in the dark
But she's so afraid of f-f-falling in love, love

[Harry:]
What about all the things we say
Talking on the phone so late (so late)
I can't let her get away from me, oh

[Zayn:]
When I say that I can do it no more
She's back in my door

[Niall:]
[Laugh]

(She's not afraid)
She's not afraid of all the attention
She's not afraid of running wild (running wild)
How come she's so afraid of falling in love? (falling in love)
She's not afraid of scary movies (she's not afraid)
She likes the way we kiss in the dark (kiss in the dark)
But she's so afraid of f-f-falling in love, love

She's not afraid
She's not afraid

[All:]
Oohhhh, oohhhhh
