"I understand feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible. And how it can actually ache in places you didn’t know you had inside you. And it doesn’t matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends… you still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. And how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy. And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he’ll see the light and show up at your door. And after all that, however long all that may be, you’ll go somewhere new. And you’ll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again. And little pieces of your soul will finally come back. And all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted, that will eventually begin to fade. "
-Kate Winslet (in The Holiday)

Yesssss

"I want somebody to sleep with the rest of my life and cuddle up during a movie on a couch. Stay up all night talking about nothing. Get lost in the woods together. Challenge me, challenge him. Talk about dreams, make dreams. Have fights, the kind that only really matter just as long as you’re having them. Someone I can wrestle with, you know, play hard sometimes and not worry about breaking a nail or an arm. A guy who will bring me flowers, once in a while, maybe a rock too or a shell of some sort. Something he saw that made him think of me, made him think “this might make my girl smile” as he smiles to himself. A guy who wants me, maybe even needs me, just a little, enough to hold onto me with everything he’s got."

One day...

All You Need is Love

So yesterday was a bad day and today hasn't been wonderful, but it's been alright. I'm not really worried about being anyone's exception anymore. Even with Valentine's approaching, I'm not sad about being single. I have a lot of fun and have the most fantastic friends. My sorority sisters and I are planning on renting movies and staying in with a few bottles of wine on Saturday and I can't think of a better way to spend the day. I'm going to make valentine's for my friends here and just spread love. I figure if I give love, I'll get love. Besides, I'm happier when I'm not wanting to be someone's exception.

Give love, it's the only thing that heals you
