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)

so i've been talking to a guy for about 2-3 months now. We've hung out a COUPLE of times it was fun we flirted,huggged,almost kissed & all that junk. A couple days ago i asked him if we're ever gonna go out & he said he doesnt know. I told him if theres nothing gonna happen between us we might a well stop talking becasue im getting too attached & i dont want to get hurt. I dont know which way he took it becasue before he would I.M me or comment me saying hey baby,boo & cue stuff that make me smile.ow its all "whats up" like we're friend or something? i dont know whats going on. I dont know what to do I've been thinking of asking him what he thinks of us right now & tell him how i feel but im confused as hell.
PLEASE help if you can relate & give me adivice on what to do & how to approach him. (link)
okay i totally get whats going on here, cause such situation practically happened to me once.

Here is the thing, when you asked him , whats gonna happen between us and what exactly is going on and so, umm... instead of him answering you directly,he in some kind of indirect way is making a statement and answering your question ,trying to tell you that he can't give you more than friendship, more than being friends, and his way of telling you that, is by showing it not telling it. so he changed his attitude and the way he talks to you and stuff, and maybe thats also a way so as not to hurt you, you know, he doesn't want to tell you so directly face to face, so he wouldn't hurt you.

And here is what you should do, since its obvious that he doesn't want more than that, more than friendship, then don't run after him, or try to force yourself on him, or approach him in anyway, talk normally, like as if you really are friends and nothing more, dont also get too close, let it be small talks and so, and stop questioning him about it. Don't waste your time with someone whose practically making it clear that he doesn't want anything more than friendship. So you wouldn't end up hurting yourself by yourself, and he just winning the game here.
But if you stick as friends, ask about each other, regular small talks, then thats an advantage for you for still having him, and an advantage for him for getting what he wants. Thats it, and then you move on, and you meet some other guy who would answer your question directly and want more than just friendship.

And if you do what I say, and after some time, he starts going back to flirting and all this shit, then he's probably been considering or thinking about it, and now he wants you and wants more than being friends.
See all you should do, is to just go with the flow, however he treats you, you treat him the same way in return, he wants to be friends, then okay whatever, but just don't wait around for someone or run after someone or stop your whole entire life hoping that this person would turn back on his heels and say i want you.
you get my point?

Thats it, if you need any further advice ,please be free to contact me.
