Why does it take a life ending to learn how to cherish each day? Why must we wait until we run out of time to start to accomplish all that we dreamed, when once we had all the time in the world? Why don’t we look at the person we love the most like it’s the last time we will ever see them? Because if we did, life would be so vibrant. Life would be so truly and completely lived.

*

I brought you here tonight to remind you of when we were happy. When we were inseparable, best friends and more. But if this is the last time we ever get to do this, then we’ve had tonight. We’ve had this memory. We’ve had this cherished. This moment, given to me by you, I will remember always. I will take it with me to wherever I go.

*

Love isn't always pretty. Sometimes you spend all your time hoping it'll eventually be something different. Something better. Then, before you know it, you're back to square one, and you lost your heart somewhere along the way.

*

Everyone is lonely, we have to remember that life is to be lived one day at a time. You cannot worry about the past or future. Happiness is in the now.

*

I used to know a boy, a boy I loved with my whole heart, who lived for a single moment. Who told me that a single moment could change the world. It could change someone’s life. That one moment could make someone’s life, in that brief second, infinitely better or infinitely worse.

*

Two shooting stars that burned out too quickly, never quite reaching each other’s skies.

*

Maybe we don’t have to be like this forever, wielded around as national tools. Maybe we can just be people.

*

Oh honey…Goddesses don't speak in whispers. They scream.

*

Use the darkness that lives inside you.
