Sayings/quotations I've found

The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me." - Ayn Rand

You are strong enough to make it through. I believe in you.

"For every dark night, there's a brighter day" - Tupac Shakur

The world is yours to explore.

Some things take time.

Wanting to be someone you're not is a waste of the person you are.

"If there comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever" - Winnie the Pooh

"You must do me this honour. Promise me you'll survive. That you won't give up. No matter what happens. No matter how hopeless. Promise me now" - 'Titanic'

Don't try so hard. The best things come when you least expect them to.

"You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you" - Mr Darcy

"When I'm really into a novel, I'm seeing the world differently during that time - not just for the hour of so in the day when I get to read. I'm actually walking around in a bit of a haze, spellbound by the book and looking at everything through a different prism." - Colin Firth

"No, I like you very much -- just as you are." - 'Bridget Jones'

Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

What screws us up most in life is the picture in our head of how it's supposed to be.

I'm here. I love you. I don't care if you need to stay up crying all night long. I will stay with you. There's nothing you can ever do to lose my love. I will protect you until you die, and after your death I will still protect you. I am stronger than Depression and I am braver than Loneliness. And nothing will ever exhaust me.

There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning.

"Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it and it will never be used to hurt you." - Tyrion Lannister

I love books. I like that the moment you open one and sink into it you can escape from the world, into a story that's way more interesting that yours will ever be.

The best is yet to come.

Life's a climb. But, the view is great.

You can't live a positive life with a negative mind.

Nothing would be the same if you did not exist.

The best things in life aren't things.

I love unmade beds. I love when people are drunk and crying and cannot be anything but honest in that moment. I love the look in people's eyes when they realise they're in love. I love the way people look when they first wake up and they've forgotten their surroundings. I love the gasp people take when their favourite character dies. I love when people close their eyes and drift to somewhere in the clouds. I fall in love with people and their honest moments all the time. I fall in love with their breakdowns and their smeared makeup and their daydreams. Honest is just too beautiful to ever put into words.

I think I'll miss you forever, like the stars miss the sun in the morning skies.

"I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it" - Maya Angelou

Sometimes when you meet someone, there's a click. I don't believe in love at first sight but I believe in that click.

We're all just stories in the end, make it a good one.

"So I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them." - 'Perks Of Being A Wallflower'

My New Year 'Resolutions'

2011, 2012, now 2013. Once again, another year has passed... It has flown by. And, a very Happy New Year to you all! Many of us can't believe it, and I am certainly one of these people. Perhaps it's the fact I'm getting 'older' now. With this 'age' comes deadlines and maybe, just maybe, these deadlines are time slots which we meet and complete. The next week we then receive another deadline and so on... Life is just a whole load of deadlines, especially in Sixth Form.

This year will be a very exciting one: I'm turning 18 in March, I'm going on holiday in the summer! The scariest thing of all, I may be going off to University if I receive my grades in September!

Every year I think to myself on 31st December, before the clock strikes midnight what my intentions are for the new year coming in... This 2013 I have a list of things I want to do, things I want to achieve and most of all things I truly wish to stick to. I'll put my hands up... yes... I am guilty for breaking resolutions, but hopefully now this brand new year will keep me determined and dedicated!

1. This has been my aim every single year, but I have yet to complete it: Be more confident
2. Stop worrying about silly little things
3. Stop over analysing everything
4. Only help those who help you
5. Become more motivated for A2
6. Receive my grades to get into my 'firm' choice for University
7. Just be myself, if people don't like it, I don't like them
8. Say how you feel rather than keep it in
9. Stop eating rubbish and start toning for the summer holiday
10. Spend more time with those who mean the most to me... We all take time for granted as time goes so quickly... We only ever really appreciate things when they're gone, but this year I'm going to appreciate every moment. It has dawned on me this is the year I may be off to University if I receive my grades (fingers crossed) therefore I need to spend as much time with my friends and family as I possibly can, as they mean the world to me and I'll miss them like crazy... I honestly don't know how I'll survive!
11. Spend money wisely
12. Be more open about things which worry me
13. Just take life as it comes - don't plan ahead
14. Whatever happens happens, and someone very special to me told me "you know when you know" and that's what I'm going to follow this year
15. Stop worrying about the future, live in the moment
16. Don't regret things, they will happen for a reason - they were right at the time

I can't think of any more right now, but I am sure over the next few weeks, resolutions will pop into my head...

I hope you all have a very successful 2013, especially those who have so far, made my years memorable and rewarding.
