are you really leaving me ?





Mr. Van Buren, your friends may be leaving you but my friends never leave me.
~ Andrew Jackson

I’ll reach for your hand in the cold of winter, I’ll reach for your hand in the heat of summer. But if my short life can’t reach the dawn of spring, I promise, in heaven, I’ll reach you with my wings.
If you love something let it go, and if it comes back - that doesn't mean a damn thing; it can just leave you again later. If you hide, I’ll seek for you. If you’re lost, I’ll search for you. If you leave, I’ll wait for you. If they try to take you away from me, I’ll fight for you. Cause I never want to lose someone I love.


When I say I love you, please believe it’s true. When I say forever, know I’ll never leave you. When I say goodbye, promise me you won’t cry. Cause the day I’ll be saying that would be the day I die.

You’re one of the people I never asked from God but still, He gave you to me. I asked Him why, He said, “Because he can fill your life like no one else can.”


there's a story behind everything

“But there's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. But behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begin.”
― Mitch Albom

someone loves you


One thing about life that tells us it isn't always fair is how we ignore the ones who love us the most, yet we love the most the ones who just ignore us. Just because someone may not love you as you love him or her, doesn't mean that you should ignore all of those who love you. Doing so is a decision that all of us usually make either purposely or by default at one point in our lives, and is also an important lesson for us to learn from for the rest of our lives.

If someone doesn't treat as special as you deserve to be treated, and doesn't love you the way that you deserved to be loved, as a person who is uniquely and wonderfully made, chances are this person doesn't deserve to have you in their lives. Make time and effort for the people who still love you and for the people that will always love you, instead of devoting yourself to those who just ignore how beautiful of a person you really are.

No Tears



“Falling in love with someone isn't always going to be easy... Anger... tears... laughter.. It's when you want to be together despite it all. That's when you truly love another. I'm sure of it.”

“No man is worth your tears, but once you find one that is, he won't make you cry”

“Count your smiles instead of your tears; Count your courage instead of your fears.”

“The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears.”
