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)

my best friend and i have both had a difficult year with our significant other. i have had an on and off relationship for the past year with a guy who is graduating next week and she has had the same relationship with his best friend for three years. they've recently broken up and my guy and i have just stopped talking. the two guys are both best friends as well and they've randomly stopped talking. my friend's ex goes to my school with me and my ex and he has been showing a lot of signs that he likes me and isn't doing it to make her jealous bcs he's had feelings for me prior to their relationship and i'm afraid i'm falling for him too and know i shouldn't pursue anything but i don't know what to do bcs i can really see this going somewhere but am completely against hurting her in anyway and understand that it should be chicks before dicks and all that. but is there any reason why it wouldn't be..? (link)
Jesus christ, there definitely is one hell of a reason, and that reason is that if you do that, that is gonna be such a low act from you. Seriously girl, she's your best friend there, and that was her boyfriend and they were in love, and don't tell me that they broke up and that she's probably over him, cause thats just you trying desperately to find any right reason to make this work and to make you own the right to be with him, but you can't be with him.
Look ofcourse i don't mean to be rude or anyting, but i'm being honest there, cause i've been there and i've done that, with the best friend i ever had, and i too saw that going somewhere and i built all those reasons to make me go through that and i tried to ignore all those who told me to back out, but then the only somewhere i found myself going was a place where it was me and only me, after i lost my best friend and that stupid fool who i discovered afterwards, that it wasn't even true love, or at least even love that was worth throwing a friendship for, a real valuable one, and i guess that's enough reason to tell you why it wouldn't be.
And here's another piece of advice, if there is something about your life or about yourself or something that you want real bad but you know you can't have it, cause maybe its wrong or its a risk or its simply gonna cause you trouble, then simply don't even think about it, cause it ain't worth it.
Back out is my advice. Is he graduating too next week? I don't think you mentioned that , but hopefully he is, and gratefully, that should be your ticket to avoid him, and if your still gonna see him, its cool why not?? but friends is how your gonna act and limits your gonna define, because you don't want more than that, and thats what your gonna at least HINT around to him.
