High School: You think you know who your true friends are? Well wait until high school and see who’s there for you when your ex boyfriend spreads rumours about you. Think you’ll never do drugs? Wait until it’s right there in front of you and all your “friends” are doing it. Think you’re tough? Wait until you say the wrong thing to the wrong person and see who backs down first. Think you’re smart? Well wait until you have an English paper, science project, history test and a 10-minute monologue due tomorrow just because you were absent for one day. Think you’re cool? Well wait until you’re the only one who doesn’t make the cheerleading squad, see how cool you are then. Think you’re popular? Wait until your parents just can’t afford the new Tommy Hilfiger jacket everybody has. Think you’ll never fall in love? Wait until a guy looks deep into your eyes and says he loves you. Think you’ll never get your heart broken? Well wait until that same guy who said he loved you is holding hands with another girl. Think you won’t have sex? Wait until the guy you think you love says it will make you closer. What would you do then? Think you’ll never have an eating disorder? Wait until everyone else in school weighs 100 pounds and you’re going on 150. Think that you’re always going to be your own individual? Well, wait until one morning when you look in the mirror and you’re just like everybody else.

It doesn't matter what you have Faith in, as long as you HAVE Faith"

The things we remember best are those better forgotten

"The only reason that you don't have answers is because you've been too scared to ask yourself the right questions." -
- Pacey, Dawson's Creek

Jen Lindley: When you see Belinda and her clique in the hallway, you're desperately wishing that you were walking with them, aren't you? And thinking that maybe if you were wearing the right shoes, sporting the latest hairstyle, and using the hottest shade of lip gloss, then maybe they would toss a glance in your direction. Ever wonder why they force their narrow-minded opinions down our throats? Perhaps it's because they have an inkling of what the future has in store for them beyond graduation. Cut to 25 years from now, Belinda McGovern wakes up one morning feeling empty. Maybe it's because her Dartmouth-educated lawyer husband Tad has run off to Tijuana with her daughter's roommate from boarding school. Or maybe it's because the twins, Timmy and Tommy, call her by her first name and their live-in housekeeper "Mom." Or maybe it's Belinda's daily 2:00, 5:00, 7:00, and 9:15 showdown with her bottle of Prozac. Her life has become a domestic wasteland. Avoid this fate. Don't let yourself become another cookie-cutter blonde, size 4, rah-rah-sis-bam-boom, mindless, soulless, spineless wench. Screw these auditions, screw cheerleading, and screw Belinda McGovern.

Joey: Do you believe in magic? I never used to. I mean, how could I? 13, your mom dies, you hope against hope for magic, something to make it all better. It never comes, and, you know, you look to your father who's unable to overcome all of his tragic flaws. Well, no abracadabra there. And then there's Pacey. Well... any magic that was there, that ran out, didn't it? But, uh, then there's you. There's proof that someone out there is thinking of me... my friend who was with me always. It's pure magic.

When you really start to think about all the little things that no longer happen, all the little words that are no longer said and all the phone calls that no longer last, all because the person you love is no longer in love with you, it pretty sad. Sometimes you hate everyone and everything just because you're without the only person you really care about. And you wonder what the future is going to hold for the both of you. Somehow praying to God in your mid that fate will bring you back to each other. Somehow screaming their name in your head hoping they'll hear you and come running back. Some how hoping that they will be able to read your mind every time you see them so they will know how much you miss them. And then after it all, somehow finding it in your heart to let go

You're letting go of the best things you ever had and when you are ready to come back, I won't be here. I can't be here... It's over and I'm walking away. Do you believe me, because I don't even believe myself.

I'm going to hold somebody. I'm going to look in someone's eyes until I'm so overcome that I cry. I'm going to love somebody more than anybody. Baby, there's so much I want to do, but I'm not going to do anything without you

And her heart was broken into a thousand pieces and upon each one was written his name

I feel relieved because I know I'm not the only one who cries...

One of these days you'll realize I was the one for you and you screwed it all up

You never asked me to wait for you -- and I don't even know if you want me to -- heck, I don't even know if I want to . . . but something is telling me that when you come back I'm going to be exactly what you want, and you will realize I have been here all this time, and you will wonder why you didn't want me all along. And somehow -- that will bring us to our happily ever after –Felicity

Calling it a simple schoolgirl crush was like saying a Rolls Royce was a vehicle with four wheels, something like a hay wagon. She did not giggle wildly and blush when she saw him, nor did she chalk his name on trees or write it on the walls of the Kissing Bridge. She simply lived with his face in her heart

Don’t say we aren't right for each other, the way I see it is... We aren't right for anyone else --the cutting edge

And there’s no way I would be able to describe the way I feel when I’m next to you. Its more than the butterflies and the weak knees, even though that’s partly it...but you just give me this feeling, where my eyes melt in the reflection of yours and my mouth goes numb. It’s like my heart is trying to jump out into your hands saying, "Hold me! Hold me! Don’t leave because I’m so afraid this feeling will leave me again”.

I have fallen in love with you; it's as simple and as complicated as that

Because he knows the worst thing about me, and its okay -meet Joe black

I look at him and he looks back at me with his beautiful eyes, smiles, and it pathetically makes my day

I'm shaking at your touch; I like you way too much... My baby, I'm afraid I'm falling for you –weezer

School is still the same... There’s still that one guy that you get up and go to school for in the morning. The one with the mysterious confidence that every girl falls for. Those years of school wouldn't have been the same without him. I wouldn't have been the same without him - Never Been kissed

For an instant love can transform the world...

He really does make everything okay. -Jacqueline Kelly

When you walk into a crowded room, I want to be the first person you look for.

You are the one person in the world who is necessary to me

How very thoughtful an introduction to pain. You should be proud my dear ....no one has ever hurt me this way

I don’t know what I would do without you, I don't know where I would be, you’re not just my boyfriend ....your everything to me

If I could go back in time and fix all the mistakes I Made with you I would, but I can't so all I can do is promise you a future without any

His smile made me want to make all his lies worth believing

Sometimes we have to be alone

You’re too many tears to late to ever get back in my arms

Once you have loved someone you can do anything for them, except love them that same way again

I miss you. Not enough to want you back, just enough for it to hurt

Strange how laughter looks like crying with no sound and how raindrops look like tears without pain

No matter how hard you try to get over someone, you will still have some sort of feeling for them, remembering the ways things used to be, and how they are now. And you sometimes hope that the new person in their life was still you, and everything was how it used be, erasing all the bad things that happened. Time is supposed to make things better, but in love it doesn't. Although we have been apart for a while, and now have different loves in our life, I still can't help wondering how your life is, and when I catch you glancing at me, I can't help but wonder if your heart beats a little faster, as mine does when I see you

Sometimes if you really want to make things work you have to keep you mouth shut and put your hurt aside

It’s like taking me to the top of the tallest mountain, showing me the world and saying "and that’s what you CAN’T have”

So I keep thinking that when you’re finally ready to be more than best friends, I won't be here, but then I laugh at myself for even thinking that I won’t still be here waiting

You know that I can't stop counting all the days that you're not here to stay. You know I miss you more, more than yesterday.

Well, I'm going to get out of bed every morning...breathe in and out all day long. Then, after a while I won't have to remind myself to get out of bed every morning and breathe in and out....and, then after a while, I won't have to think about how great and perfect I had it once ~ Sleepless in Seattle

All I want to do is sleep because it doesn't hurt when I can't think of you-

I miss him, you know? I'm just not used to being without him. But I wanted him to think that I was. - Jack and Jill

Some hearts are broken and mended, others are shattered or torn, although it was never intended, for love is eternally sworn, I've cried and prayed and pleaded, for that love to hold its ground. Hope was all I needed, and pain was all I found

For a long time I was in love, not only in love, I was obsessed with a friendship that no one else could touch. - No Doubt

And sometimes your heart takes you to places that can never lead to a happy ending.

I opened my heart to you. I can't just stand around like a fool, waiting for you to be ready ~Boy Meets World

One day I just realized he was gone for good -- and it was okay

People so seldom say "I love you" and then it is either too late or love goes. So when I tell you I love you, it doesn’t mean I know you'll never go; only what I wish you didn’t have to

My life is ever so very messed up. I know you think that I'm head over heals in love with you but it's just a crush...a crush that's crushing me

Tell me where you are tonight, and is everything alright? Do you remember what I said, while she's sleeping in your bed? Tell me now you smile hard, cuz I don't smile much so far. And is she everything you need; is she everything I couldn't be? Does she make everything match better; bring you all the shiny weather that you want? And is she everything... everything I’m not? -something corporate

By the time you realize what you're losing, it’ll be lost

Do me a favour. Watch what you say around me. Maybe you're too blind to see it, but I'm still in love with you

Or maybe I’ve been thinking about how to say goodbye to you all week. Maybe I’ve been thinking about how to make those words come out of my mouth every second of the day since I made the decision to leave. Maybe saying goodbye to you is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.-Dawson's Creek

Sometimes the time just slips away, and you're left with yesterday, left with the memories, I'll always think of you and smile -Leann Rimes

I'm so confused... I mean I want to let go... I want to let go of all this pain, but I'm afraid I'll go insane... he may come back, I have some hope, but with everything else, how can I cope. I want to let go... I'm going to let go, but if I wait and see, will he come back to me?

I wonder if she makes him smile, the way he used to smile at me. I hope she doesn't make him laugh... because his laugh belongs to me --Toni Braxton

He was my only weakness yet my greatest sense of security

I guess everyone has their reasons for keeping people away, an instinct to protect yourself from getting hurt. It's part of human nature. ~ Roswell

I'm beautiful, right? I mean in everyone else's eyes I am. But I'll never be beautiful in his eyes and that kills me

Take a walk outside your mind. Tell me how it feels to be the one who turns the knife inside of me. ~ Aerosmith

I always hoped for so much better for us. I thought that just because you were older...didn't mean I couldn't have you. I was wrong. I led myself on and made myself believe that you really meant is when you said you cared. So, now you're leaving and my heart is breaking. But I know if I just hang on...everything will be okay. And that's the one thing you have given me...strength. So even if you never really cared about me...thank you for making me strong

I love you. You don't have to love me back, but I’m going to give you my heart anyway

Isn't it funny how you can think you're completely over someone but if you drive past his house, stumble upon a meaningful song you both shared, or even get a glance of him on the street....just in an instant, it can change all that. And you start to remember the pain. And that hollow space is feeling more and more like the Grand Canyon with every second that goes by. But you bury these feelings deep down, so deep that you're sure no one will be able to tell. To the outside world, you smile and act like nothing is wrong or will ever be. Everything's just perfect. For that split second that you've locked eyes, a tiny whisper, say 'make this last forever, only and just this moment forever and ever'. But after a second or so, you go along your own merry way, all the while home realizing how much you do miss him, how much you still love him...and it sticks with you for days, weeks, maybe months, until fate decides to hand you another one of those unexpected moments. And then you finally understand the worst feeling in the world is when the person you love most is standing right next to you, yet you can never have them. Try as you may, you can't make someone love you

And when I said 'I missed you' I didn't expect for you to say it back, because I knew you hadn't. I just wanted to let you know that I had.

I want to be able to look at you and not be hurt by you. -The Object of My Affection

You're allowed to break the rules when you want someone bad enough. My friends tell me to let go. They don't think he's right for me. Well, I need him so I'm going to keep holding on tight until he realizes that he needs me too

If your love for someone is true, then that person will always come back to you

It always seems just as soon as things are going good...just as soon as life takes a turn for the best...everything goes wrong...gets lost, and confused and all messed up...and then you crash...and just have to sit there, 'cause you don't have the strength to get up...'cause now someone else has come into the picture...and taken your place in a heartbeat...and now there is nothing you can do

He can be so nice, then so mean... He can care and protect, make you laugh, and at the same time play games with your head And after he's done with that, he'll tear your heart out, rip it in to the smallest fragments known to man and leave it on the floor, while all you can do is stand there, not being able to cry because you're so numb, because you thought that there was something there, when really there was nothing but a wayward boy out to break a poor girls fragile heart, because he didn’t know what he wanted

I see something that would make you laugh, or I hear a song that you'd listen to, or I think of something that would upset you, and it makes me want to laugh, and smile, and cry, all at once...I can't stop thinking of you

Sometimes, it's the things that don't hurt at all that make you cry

When I see you...I have a constant reminder that I can't have you. When I talk to you...I know that I will never be able to hold you. And when I see you with her...I am reminded of how lucky she is. I hope she knows that

I've always wanted to ask you "If you could be with anybody who would it be?" But I've never asked, to afraid the answer won't be me.

And so it finally happened. My poor, twelve-year-old heart finally crumbled into a little pile of dust and blew away. It was over. I was never going to get her back. It was time for a little self-respect. It was time to let go. Time to move on.* - The Wonder Years

I figured out what I'm going to do. I'm going to wait forever if I have to. I just don't think I could live with myself if I give up what we have-no matter how much hurt you've caused me. Fate brought us together, Fate split us up. I have faith that fate will bring us back together again. I just hope you feel the same

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 even though 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.”

The greater the love, the greater the tragedy when it's over -Nicholas Sparks

Wait for the guy who'll be your best friend, the person who'll drop everything to be with you at any time of the day no matter what, the guy who makes you smile like no other guy can and when he looks at you.. you know he needs you, the guy who thinks your beautiful even when your hairs a mess and you have no make-up on, the guy who will stay awake just 2 watch you sleep, the one who will call you just to hear your voice, but most of all wait for the guy who'll put you at the center of his universe, because obviously he'll be at the center of yours

Your lips say just friends, but your eyes say so much more

You didn't try...now it's gone

Maybe there's more to life than it seems, I'm constantly running from reality, chasing dreams

The hardest thing in life is letting go of something you thought was real

To love someone is to wait for them, but you need to love yourself too, by knowing when to walk away

It's never easy to understand why memories hold our hand, and people let go

You can't ever let go of all the feelings, but you need to let go of him

There's so much I've felt I should say, but even if your heart would listen I doubt I could explain it ~Jimmy Eat World

She has him falling head over heels and I can't even make him stumble

Even though I loved you so much, I just couldn't deal with the pain. And, the times we spent together, holding each other, were the best times of my life. But no matter how much I wanted to keep you in my arms, I couldn't. I couldn't hold on to you, knowing that all you were going to do was hurt me. But right now, even though I still love you, I don't need you anymore. I don't need you to complete me. I just need you to comfort me when I'm sad, support me, and listen to me when I talk. So, I guess what I'm saying is, I'm glad we're over. I'm glad I've let go I can cry a million tears, but you'll never see my frown. I'll whisper your name one thousand times, but you'll never hear a sound.
