When life gives u lemons, make lemonade. Then, throw it in the face of the person who should've gotten you the oranges you orginally asked for.

What we do is determined by what we are. What we are is determined by what we think. What we think is determined by what we experience. What we experience is determined by what we are exposed to and what we do with that exposure.
(MIKE VANCE and DIANE DEACON)

Life is like a book with many different chapters. Some tell of tragedy, others of triumph. Some chapters are dull and ordinary, others intense and exciting. The key to being a success in life is to never stop on a difficult page, to never quit on a tough chapter. Champions have the courage to keep turning the pages because they know a better chapter lies ahead.
(RICH RUFFALO)

Because you're able to do it and because you have the right to do it, doesn't mean it's right to do it.
(Dr.LAURA SCHLESSINGER)

We are born with our eyes closed and our mouths open, and we spend our whole lives trying to reverse that mistake of nature.
(DALE E.TURNER)

You can have anything you want if you want it desperately enough. You must want it with an inner exuberance that erupts through the skin and joins the energy that created the world.
(SHEILAH GRAHAM)

We all have the ability. The difference is how we use it.
(STEVIE WONDER)

Everything is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied.

One person can make a difference and every person should try.

The one thing worse than being alone is not being alone and wishing you were.

Real difficulties can be overcome, it is only the imaginary ones that are unconquerable.
(THEODORE N.VAIL)

The goal in marriage is not to think alike, but to think together.
(ROBERT C. DODDS)

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not, but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
(EPICURUS)

When you look in the mirror, you are looking at the problem, but remember, you are also looking at the solution.

Live your life, so you don't have to hide your diary.

Dream what you dare to dream. Go where you want to go. Be what you want to be.
(CALVIN COOLIDGE)

The first thing of importance is to have confidence in yourself, in your abilities.
(KATHARINE GIBBS)

Become a 'possibilitarian'. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see the possibilities-always see them, for they are always there.
(NORMAN VINCENT PEALE)

DAVID COPPERFIELD just might be the greatest magician and illusionist of all time. He is definitely a legend in his own time. Here are some of his most inspiring quotes...
'The easiest thing in the world is to come up with an excuse not to do something. I found that the most important thing in life is to stop saying,'I wish,' and to start saying,'I will.'
'Before there can be wonders, there must be wonder.'
'Whenever I pursued my dreams, I discovered something astonishing-I discovered myself. My secret has been to consider nothing impossible. Then to treat possibilities as probabilities.'
'Passion is everything.'
'I learned that there were two ways I could live my life: following my dreams or doing something else. Dreams aren't a matter of chance, but a matter of choice. When I dream, I believe I am rehearsing my future.'

Miracles do not happen in contradiction to nature, but only in contradiction to that which is known to us of nature.
(SAINT AUGUSTINE)

The world is composed of givers and takers... the takers may eat better, but the givers sleep better.

Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
(ROBERT FROST)

Love is a fruit in season at all times and within reach of every hand.
(MOTHER TERESA)

i keep getting signs of deppression i used to be a cheerleader until i quit and iv just seemed to give up on everything im smokeing weed now i enjoy just getting drunk and stoned and iv lost all interest in boys and girls (im bi) and even sex at times i dont know what to do iv even cut my leg a couple times please help

*sleepiesheep* (link)
Dear *sleepiesheep*,
I read your problem and that seems really tough, i guess. But what grabbed my attention the most, is that your still so young to be throwing your whole entire life that way. I mean.. we all have our moments when we are so depressed, melancholic and we have complete nervous breakdowns,but then this moment usually passes and things fall into place again.
But here, your acting so wrong and your not even thinking of what your doing.
Why did you quit as a cheerleader? That was the first wrong action. I am sure that cheerleading was one of the most favorable things that you enjoyed doing. so why give it up? I mean.. if its possible, the first thing you should do to fix this mess up is to try to go back to cheerleading.
Then, try giving up smoking weed and stuff gradually , by reducing the quantity you smoke everyday. I know its gonnna be hard and that you enjoy it and stuff, but you have to control yourself and work so hard to get your life back. And if things don't work out, then you should tell your parents or someone with an upper hand, so that you could be admitted to rihab, which is not a really good place to be in. Thats why, i am trying to make you give up smoking weed and drugs and stuff with your own will.
Then, speaking about the whole sexual thing, why don't you try to hook up with someone. I am sure.. that there is someone that your into or that you like, so why don't you try to take a step further and go out with this person and have some fun, maybe then you would realize how good it feels again to be with someone, and you'd feel interested and excited again.
ON the other hand, if you think that all i've been saying since the beginning is nothing but crap, then i have another suggestion, why don't you consult a freind, someone close to you, or your parents or anyone that you feel you could trust. Talk to someone heart to heart, and he'll understand, sympathize and make you feel better by listening and comforting you. Thats exactly what you need. Because you are just bottling everything up inside you and your refusing to have someone there beside you. Or you could talk to a physichiatrist, i am not saying that your crazy here. but they sometimes help to make the depression go away.
But away from all this, i need you to ask yourself, what do you honestly win or gain from seeing your leg bruised and swollen from the cutting your doing in it? If it was me, these bruises would just tell me what a depressed lunatic i am. I don't know what they tell you. But i am sure they don't make you feel any better or great. Look inside you, and go over all the drugs and smoking and nervous breakdowns, and depression periods, and the cutting you've been doing, and finally, at the good person you were before that, and at the awesome cheerleader you were, and at all the sex you had and enjoyed big time, and at simply the good life you had. Then after you think about all that, contact me if i was right or if i even made the least bit of sense to you. You can either send a private message or an email and i promise to help you all the way to giving up drugs and smoking weed and cutting and i can make you go back to the life you once had. You know why, cause i am about the same age as you, and i went through everything you went through, but i quit it all, and now i can make you do that too. Trust me.
