fortress of solitude

"i believe that everything happens for a reason…people change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that  you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself…and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together…"

"I don’t have it all figured out. You learn so many things every day, and it’s overwhelming sometimes trying to see how it all fits together. I’m starting to realize that each day is a different road and a different journey, and you don’t have to have it all figured out; you don’t have to have all the answers to everything right now."

“Later that day I got to thinking about
relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and
exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of
questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring
you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the
most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the
one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the way that you love, well, that’s just fabulous.”

No matter what you do to me, I’m still here. For some odd reason, I stick around and put up with all your mood swings and unkind words. I just let your comments roll off me into a puddle on the floor. I make up excuses on why you didn’t call … try to think of all the answers. I keep going back for more eventhough sometimes you push me away. I don’t know if I can do better, but do I really want to? You’re quick to push me down when all I want is to be brought up. When I walk out for good, when I really gain the strength I need … then maybe you will see. Maybe you can look back and say, "Wow … that girl really did love me."

i just can’t explain how much i’m happy and grateful because finally i’ve found the one——someone real…someone true…& someone who loves me…it’s like an answered prayer…he gave me a new reason to smile…a reason to trust once again…a reason to believe that love still works…and a reason to believe that God never fails to answer prayers…

i’ve been living with a shadow overhead

i’ve been sleeping with a cloud above my head

i’ve been lonely for so long

trapped in the past

i just can’t seem to move on

i’ve been hiding all my hopes and dreams away

just in case i ever need them again someday

i’ve been setting aside time

to clear a little space in the corners of my mind

ALL I WANNA DO IS FIND A WAY BACK INTO LOVE

I CAN’T MAKE IT THROUGH WITHOUT A WAY BACK INTO LOVE

OH OH OH

i’ve been watching but the stars refuse to shine

i’ve been searching but i just don’t see the signs

i know that it’s out there

there’s gotta be something for my soul somewhere

i’ve been looking for someone to shed some light

not somebody just to get me through the night

i could use some directions

and i’m open to your suggestions

ALL I WANNA DO IS FIND A WAY BACK INTO LOVE

I CAN’T MAKE IT THROUGH WITHOUT A WAY BACK INTO LOVE

AND IF I OPEN MY HEART AGAIN

I GUESS I’M HOPING YOU’LL BE THERE FOR ME IN THE END

there are moments when i don’t know if it’s real

or if anybody feels the way i feel

i need inspiration

not just another negotiation

ALL I WANNA DO IS FIND A WAY BACK INTO LOVE

I CAN’T MAKE IT THROUGH WITHOUT A WAY BACK INTO LOVE

AND IF I OPEN MY HEART TO YOU

I’M HOPING YOU’LL SHOW ME WHAT TO DO

AND IF YOU HELP ME TO START AGAIN

YOU KNOW THAT I’LL BE THERE FOR YOU IN THE END…..

“Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice: It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.”

Breaking up can be one of the hardest decisions one can ever make. However, in more times than not, we find we are with a jerk who just needs to be gotten rid of.

Many of us have problems with this. Be it not being able to tell your boyfriend/girlfriend due to being afraid of the consequences or because they were truly great, just isn’t ‘the one.’

Depending on the circumstances, there are certain rules which should be in place.

Break Up Rules

1. Do not avoid the subject. It’s best to get it over with as soon as possible. The longer you wait the harder it will get.

2. Remain calm. You don’t want to stir up mixed emotions or send mixed signals. It could only make it worse.

3. Talk about it. It’s always best to state your opinion on why you want to break up. This is so your ’someone’ (soon to be ex.) will not question it and think there may still be something between you. Try not to blame each other, it only makes things worse and may cause aggressiveness.

4. It’s always best to do it in person, unless of course this person is abusive by any means. Then it’s best to either call or write a letter, even better, have a friend tell the person. It’s a horrible way to break up, but if it’s a last resort, do it.

5. After the break up, do not go back — no matter what. You broke up for a reason, remember it. You might think this person has changed, but they truly haven’t. People do not change over short periods –- no matter how convincing that person might be.

Of course, there are always exceptions to rules. One may be able to go back to someone they were with, if the reason is not a big one.

"they do not love that do not show their love…the course of true love never did run smooth…love is a familiar…love is a devil…there is no evil angel but love…"

it’s really hard to pretend you don’t love someone when you knew in your heart he’s the only one who can give you the happiness and love you’ve  been longing for….
