Awake Dreams


Maybe my heart told your heart it had a parking place outside, or that we both like taking walks and doing things at night. Maybe our hearts have the same favorite colors and they found each other that way, or maybe it was because they both like sunshine best and always want summer to stay. Maybe your heart sent mine a message saying, "We are meant to be," or maybe when it comes to things like this, there isn't any reason. Hearts just know.

The people who are crazy enough to think
that they can change the world 
are the ones who do.

If you get a chance, take it.
If it changes your life, let it.

To let go isn't to forget, not think about, or ignore. It doesn't leave feelings
of anger, jealousy, or regret. Letting go isn't winning, it isn't losing. It’s not about
pride, it's not obsessing or dwelling on the past. It’s not giving in or giving up.
Letting go isn't about loss, and it's not defeat. To let go is to cherish memories,
but to overcome them and move on. Letting go is accepting. Letting go is having
the courage to accept change, the strength to keep moving. Letting go is growing up.

And you need to go this time. You need to see for yourself. I can sit here
and tell you that it’s a colossal mistake, that all roads lead back to me, but
it doesn’t matter. Words, speeches... they sound great, but they don’t add
up to anything. All that matters right now is what you want.

Faith is believing in something when
common sense tells you not to.

There is no master plan.
My heart is in your hands.

I know that things between us are pretty much beyond repair right now.
And I wouldn't ever presume to try and make everything better with a
conversation, so that's not what this is, but I just wanted to tell you, I wanted
to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the pain it caused you. But mostly I'm sorry for
my part in it. I'm sorry because I miss our friendship. And however
far off it may be, I look forward to the day that we can be friends again.

If your heart is nowhere in it,
I don't want it for a minute.

Live like you mean it.
Love til you feel it.

As you know, I’m not good at goodbyes, but I guess that's what this is. A real one this time, because as much as I thought I wanted us to be together, I guess what I want more is to be one of those people who lives every moment of her life without indecision and without regrets, someone who dares to disturb the universe without a thought to the consequences, and you’re not one of those people, at least not yet. Maybe you'll prove me wrong about that one day, I hope you do, but who knows? Maybe people can't change, maybe we’re doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over again no matter how hard we try. I always hope for a happy ending, how crazy is that? Take care of yourself.

Don’t get me wrong, I hate it.
But I hate the alternative even more.

I want a piece of your heart, not a piece of your mind.

Take all that you have
and turn it into something you were missing.

"What are you waiting for?"
"I don`t know, something amazing,
I guess." – The Incredibles

Do you ever just sit down and start writing? And everything is going
through your head, and it just pours onto the paper. And when you
reread it, it doesn't make sense, but you know it's meaning, because
your mind jumps around so much and when you just let go, you lose all
control. All of your heart, your soul, is on that paper and you become so
vulnerable to the world.

You can't buy happiness,
but you can buy ice cream,
and that's close enough.

First Time

Don’t repeat chapters,
the story will never change.

You get in the biggest
fights with the people
you love most, because
those are the relationships
you're willing to fight for.

You wanna know what the truth is? I still love you and I probably will
love you for a very long time. But I can't just be your buddy, because as
much as i enjoy the concept of being "just friends," in reality it's a bizarre
form of torture and I’m just not willing to participate in it. So right now
what I wanna do is just move on and get over you and the only way for me
to do that is to not be around you anymore.

Some of us are just trying to get through
the day without breaking something.

It doesn’t matter who ends up with who, because in
some unearthly way, it's always gonna be you and me.

I called because I wanted you to know that despite everything
that's happened and all the miles between us right now, I still
think about the way it was in the beginning.

And it's great to have somebody that you know so well that you
don't even have to verbalize what you're thinking most of the time.
The other person just gets it, picks up on it.

Can you get to the future;
If your past is the present?

Where Your Heart Is

I spend 23 hours a day wondering whether we're
wrong for each other, wondering whether we've
got the energy that we need to get through everything
that we seem to get into, whether the baggage
we both bring would sink a small ship. But in the
24th hour, I realize I've been thinking about him for
23 hours and I come back to, there's something
about him I can't stay away from. Something that
makes me want to love him.

With a thousand different voices ringing in your ear;
listen to the whisper only the heart can hear.

Joey: You know, you're really annoying. 'Cause every time I’m ready to do the smart, sensible thing, you go and you say something that makes me...
Wilder: Makes you what?
Joey: Not want to go away.
– Dawson’s Creek

We help each other to realize that everything we want to be; we already are.

Maybe we like the pain. Maybe we're wired that way. Because without it,
I don't know, maybe we just wouldn't feel real. What's that saying?
Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer? Because it feels so good when I stop.

At the end of the day, faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you
don't really expect it. It's like one day you realize that the fairy tale
may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may
not be a castle. And it's not so important happy ever after, just that it’s
happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will
surprise you, and once in a while people may even take your breath away.

I mean, if life's so hard already, why do we bring more
trouble down on ourselves? What's up with the need to
hit the self-destruct button.

Meredith: I've moved on. So don't give me that look.
Derek: What look?
Meredith: That look. Our look. I'm over you.
Derek: I'm over you too.
Meredith: You are?
Derek: No.
Meredith: Oh, well. I am. Over you.
Derek: I'm over you too.
Meredith: You just said- shut up.
– Grey’s Anatomy

Sorry

You know, I can't remember the last time we kissed.
Cause you never think the last time is the last time, you
think there'll be more. You think you have forever but you don't.

  To let go isn't to forget, not think about, or ignore. It doesn't leave feelings
of anger, jealousy, or regret. Letting go isn't winning, it isn't losing. It’s not about
pride it's not obsessing or dwelling on the past. It’s not giving in or giving up.
Letting go isn't about loss, and it's not defeat. To let go is to cherish memories,
but to overcome them and move on. Letting go is accepting. Letting go is having
the courage to accept change, the strength to keep moving. Letting go is growing up.
