“Life is a funny thing. We only get so many years to live it, so we have to do everything we can to make sure those years are as full as they can be. We shouldn't waste time on things that might happen someday, or maybe even never.”

“Life happens. Shit happens. And it happens a lot. To a lot of people.”

“Don't take life too seriously. Punch it in the face when it needs a good hit. Laugh at it.”

“I think about you every second of every day and I don’t know how to get over you,” she says.“Don’t,” I beg her. “Please don’t get over me.”

“The only difference between falling in love and being in love is that your heart already knows how you feel, but your mind is too stubborn to admit it.”

“I would never let anyone else borrow my heart if I know there’s a chance in hell you might want it back.”
