Why it’s so hard to trust people...

People ask me why it’s so hard to trust people.
And I ask them why it’s so hard to keep a promise.

Why do I call YOU friend?

Because you are always there for me.

Because I feel comfortable around you.

Because you actually hear what I say.

Because you bring out the best in me.

Because you accept me for who I am.

Because you are not afraid to tell it like it is.

Because you make me smile.

Because you are down to earth.

Because you make me feel loved.

Because we have so much fun together.

Friend or enemy?

It is better to have an enemy who honestly says they hate you
than a friend who’s putting you down secretly.

A friend is a place when you have nowhere else to go

A friend gives hope

When life is low,

A friend is a place

When you have nowhere else to go,

A friend is honest,

A friend is true.

A friend is precious

And that

My friend is you.

There are two sides to every story.

I may not be perfect, but

I may not be perfect, but I am amazing, loyal, honest, and one of a kind. I am worth it! If you can’t see that, it’s your loss and you don’t deserve me.

But she’s magic

She’s mad but she’s magic

There’s no lie in her fire.

- Charles Bukowski

Be perfectly themselves

The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, 

and not to twist them to fit our own image.
Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them. 

- Thomas Merton: No Man Is an Island

Follow your heart and intuition

Your time is limited so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
- Steve Jobs

Everyone’s entitled to not give a fuck about your opinion

I don’t give a fuck what anyone thinks and I never have. As the saying goes “everyone’s entitled to their opinion” well, I’m entitled to not give a fuck about your opinion. Anyone who gives another person shit for how they look or what music they like is just insecure. Think about it, they find you so important that they take time out of their life to fuck with you? Seems pretty weird right?
- Rob Zombie

When friends stop being frank...

When friends stop being frank and useful to each other,
the whole world loses some of its radiance…
- Anatole Broyard

You either like me or you don’t.

You either like me or you don’t. It took me twenty-something years to learn how to love myself. I don’t have that kinda time to convince somebody else.

You can’t force loyalty.

"You can’t force loyalty; some people will always let you down. Everybody won’t always be who you want them to be. I’m never perfect, but I’m always genuine, and I’ve realized… People are consistent with who they want to be consistent with. They’re true to who they want to be true to. They’re loyal to who they want to be loyal to. It’s all about choices… So in my life, every excuse just gets you closer to an exit. And it’s no love lost, i just choose not to waste my time with the games… 

We can be cool, we just can’t be close."

To be my own best friend

"I’ve been stabbed in the back by those I needed the most. I’ve been lied to by those I love. And I have felt alone when I couldn’t afford to be. But at the end of the day I had to learn to be my own best friend because there’s going to be days where no-one is going to be there for me but myself."

Those who show you...

"Don't believe those who tell you they love you, believe those who show you they do."

Honesty is just too beautiful to ever put into words.

"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 peoples eyes when they realize 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 favorite 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. Honesty is just too beautiful to ever put into words."
