If it matters, let me know...

My dad said something the other night that really bothered me, so I'm trying to get to the bottom of it. If my writing has made a difference to anyone, please leave a comment on this post. I don't wanna do something if I'm just wasting my time.

Love Quotes...

Ok, I'm bored...but I know for a fact that love quotes are addicting to any girl who reads them...and so, for your enjoyment, I give you several love quotes I found online...enjoy!

Love is when you look into someones eyes, and see everything you need

What is love but that which poisons the body, clouds the mind, yet envigorates the soul

Love is born with the pleasure of looking at each other, it is fed with the necessity of seeking each other, it is concluded with the impossibility of seperation.

Love is as much and object as an obsession, everybody wants it, everybody seeks it, but few will ever acheive it, those who do, will cherish it, be lost in it, and among all, will never...never forget it

Forgiveness is the final form of love

Love involves a peculiar unfathomable combination of understanding and misunderstanding

Love is the only thing you get more of by giving it away.

distance between hearts is not an obstacle...rather a beautiful reminder of just how strong true love can be.

The world moves for Love; it kneels before it in awe.

One man by himself is nothing. Two people who belong together make a world.

Reason and Love are sworn enemies

You don't marry someone you can live with, you marry the person you cannot live without.

Absence it to love what wind is to fire, it extinguishes the small, enkindles the great

Love is when hurting them will hurt you more.

Absence sharpens love, presence strengthen it.

To the world, you may be one person, but to one person, you may be the world

Stephon kissed me in the spring, Robin in the fall, but Colin only looked at me, and never kissed at all. Stephon's kiss was lost in jest, Robin's lost in play, But the kiss in Colin's eyes, haunts me night and day.

Love is an emothion without limit or understanding

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind.

Love said, "Lie still and think of me". Sleep said, "clost your eyes till the break of day". But Dreams came by, and smilingly gave both to Love and Sleep their way.

To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best.

Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.

Truly loving another means letting go of all expectations. It means full acceptance, even celebration of another's personhood.

If we seek the preasure of love, passion should always be occasional, and common sense continual

A memory of true love is like a favorite song; no matter how many times it plays agian, you never get tired of it.

You can give all the gifts in the world to the one you have chosen, but the everlasting one will always remain the deed of a kind word

It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, and hour to like someone, and a day to love some one...but it takes a lifetime to forget someone

Love and eggs are best when they are fresh

No disguise can long conceal love where it exists, or long fein it where it lacks

The course of true love never did run smooth

Love is the most beautiful of dreams, and the worst of nightmares

No matter how hard things seem, True love will aide you through it.

Love can never grow old, Locks may lose their brown and gold, Cheeks may fade and hollow grow, but the hearts that love will know never winters frost and chill, Summer’s warmth is in them still.

Real Love stories, never have endings

Love looks through a telescope, envy through a microscope

Man’s love is of man’s life, a part; it is woman’s whole existence

Today, I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists…When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.

Love is the capability to evoke your loved one’s love

Love is the light that shines from heart to heart

The wounds of love can only be healed by the one who made them.

“I wasn’t kissing her, I was whispering in her mouth”

Love does not care for time or order

Her lips on his could tell him better that all her stumbling words

There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning

When you depart from me sorrow abides, and happiness takes his leave

In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing

Hell’s afloat in lover’s tears

Woman was created from the rib of man: Not from his head to be though of only, nor from his hand to be owned, nor from his foot to be beneath, but from under his arm to be protected, from his side to be equal, and from his heart to be loved

So dear I love him, All deaths I could endure, Without him, live no lives

Love is a thing, well, it’s kind of like quicksand: the more you are in it, the deeper you sink. And when it hits you, you’ve just got to fall

Love is like a beautiful flower that I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same

Love isn’t blind. Love sees, sees everything, but loves anyway

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none

Love enables you to put your deepest feelings and fears into your partners hand, knowing they will be handled with care

Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along

A kiss is something you cannot give without taking, and cannot take without giving

There is no remedy for love, but to love more

Love dies only when growth stops

It is better to break one’s heart than to do nothing with it

Love is the emblem of eternity: it confounds all notion of time: effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end

Love gives us in a moment what we can hardly attain by effort after years of toil

To love another person is to see the face of God

Love does not die easily. It is a living thing. It thrives in the face of all life’s hazards, save one…neglect

True love is when your heart and your mind are saying the same thing

My heart smiled when you kissed my lips…What a sweet surprise.

Love does not dominate…it cultivates

Love is good in feeling, even if you are always being hurt. It is better to be hurt by love that not loving at all

Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in it’s defense

Love’s very pain is sweet

A man loses his sense of direction after four drinks; a woman loses hers after four…kisses

I have spread my dream beneath your feet; Tread softly…

I love being married. It’s so great to find one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life

I have never met a person whose greatest need was anything other than real, unconditional love. You can find it in a simple act of kindness toward someone who needs help. There is no mistaking love. You feel it in your heart. It is the common fiber of life, the flame that heals our soul, energizes out spirit and supplies passion to our lives. It is our connection to God and to each other.

Love is not blind…it simply enables one to see things other’s fail to see

If a love is to evolve, it must go through a series of endings

All the ill in us is from fear, and all the good from love

Love reminds you that nothing else matters

The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death

Love is just an abbreviation for everything we have ever wanted to say about that one person who truly means something to us, all wrapped up in a tiny four letter box

True love should be lived like an imperfect circle that has its bumps, but never ends

A house is made with walls and beams; a home is built with love and dreams

The greatest happiness in life is the conviction that we are loved…Loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves

When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace

Men always want to be a woman’s first love. Women like to be a man’s last romance

Why is it that we don’t always recognize the moment love begins, but we always recognize the moment it ends?

Love: a term which has no meaning if defined

There is no difference between a wise man and a fool when the fall in love

It’s not that I can’t live without you…it’s just that I don’t even want to try

Lucky is the man who is the first love of a woman, but luckier is that woman who is the last love of a man

Age does not protect us from love, but love, to some extent, protects us from age

And there you have it...several random love quotes I found in random places on the internet...you're welcome.

Confusion...UGH

Ok, let me fill you in on what his been happening this past week...I have been restricted from the internet, so I haven't been able to blog lately, but I am now and, boy, do I have a lot to say.

From the title, you can probably tell that I am very confused...that's obvious...what you may not know is that I am confused because of a boy...two boys...Matt and Matt...no, the names are not what is confusing me. The first Matt, I shall refer to as Matthew, the second, as Matt, to eliminate as much confusion as possible...careful now, this trip can get a little bit like a maze.


Anywho, it all started out when I went to dance class one night...I danced with Matthew all night and by the end of the night, I was definitely crushing on him. The next time I saw him, I was falling for him even more then the first night, if such a thing was possible, so, I offered to let him read my story, just as casual conversation. He said he would love to and I wrote down the website for him on a piece of paper...along with my number. When I saw him next, he didn't seem that awkward around me. When I brought up the note in the conversation, he assured me he would call and tell me what he thought about the story. He smiled when he said it. So, me being the foolish little fourteen year old girl that I am, believed him. I have gone to two dance classes since then, and at neither of them was he present. And, what a surprise, no phone call. Now here is where Matt comes into the picture. Sara tried to set my up with Matt when we first went there...not really a blind date sort of thing, she just told me over and over again how much I would love him, seeing as he was a gentleman in all ways, he's funny, and handsome. So I went along with it. He seemed alright as a friend, but that was all...or so I thought. This past dance class, I was worrying myself silly about Matt not being there, and so I was hiding from the rest of the people, no longer in the mood to dance as I had been just hours before. I only danced with one person willingly, and that was Matt. I don't know why, but for some reason, I trusted him above all the young men in the room. When we danced, we could actually talk and we got into some very interesting conversations about love and men and women...and we laughed. As soon as that happened of course, a quote came to mind that I wanted so desperately to push away, but it came into my head anyway. "Love is the boy that can make you laugh when you don't even want to smile." My mind was racing. I couldn't be in love with Matt, could I? I was in love with Matthew, wasn't I? Every single piece of evidence I could find against my feelings was accompanied by a question. It would be so much easier to sort through this if I were to see them more often, but I only speak to them every other Friday. Anyway, I'm rambling...there's also something else going on with boys, but it's a little too personal to talk about here...anyway, I guess I'll blog something later when I've sorted through all of this.

BYL!!

Seven Things...

Okay, seeing as I haven't posted anything in a while, I have a lot to say. Seven things to be exact. *^^see the title^^*



1. The first thing on my mind is something I was thinking of yesterday, and It's something I need to say. Jeff, if you're reading this, (Sara, make sure he's reading this) I'm sorry. I said some things about you in some of my earlier posts that I'm not proud of. I thought it would make me feel strong to stand up against you, but I realize now that what I said was very un-christian and I didn't even try to see things from your point of view...so, I'm sorry.



2. The second thing I'm thinking about is love. Define it, enjoy it, live it, or give it, it's amazing no matter what. Seeing as nothing has actually happened between us yet, I can't really say any more.



3. Third thing: Writing...I haven't been doing a lot of it. It's not that I have writer's block, and it's not because people around me aren't supportive, it's because my life is good. I heard a quote once that said, "when you're in love, you can't sleep because reality is better than your dreams". This is why I haven't done any writing in a while. Right now, my life is better than anything I could make up in a story.



4. I'm getting baptized Sunday. It's going to be amazing and wonderful. I know it's something that I fully want to do, and I believe I'm ready to really commit to Christ. I can't wait!!



5. Dance class is tonight, and I'm going to invite Matt to my baptism. I'm also going to invite him to join me and some of my friends to go to a movie afterwards...we'll see how that goes.



6. My mom's health is slowly increasing, so praise God for that

7. I'm hoping I can stay the night at Sara's house before the baptism...I'll find out tonight.

Those are my seven things...what's yours???

BYL!!! (Blog Ya Later)
