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)

Well,here's my story...after so many failed relationships(I've been hit,cheated on,lied to...the list goes on),in a row,I began to realize I couldn't care less about having a boyfriend.Now,when some of my friends even mention love and relationships,I feel sick...it makes me wanna throw up... I don't believe in love anymore...the more love I gave,the more I ended up being hurt.Don't say "You're really young and you have a life ahead of you".... I know that... but I've been disappointed too many times.I've even developed a fear of entering a relationship ever again.I feel as though my heart is slowly turning to stone.Then yet,deep down,I want to find someone who will love me unconditionally...but I keep closing up,more and more as time goes by.Also,I've tried to date a few guys but we broke up because I was too suspicious.I mean,how can I trust anyone after being cheated on so many times? Am I supposed to feel like this? (link)
Been there... done that! Every single feeling your describing, i've been through and i thought exactly the same way,and for a minute, i thought i would never fall inlove again or be interested in any other guy ever again, cause they're all just a-holes and they are not to be trusted, and they are all the same, some way or another. And yet, believe it or not, no matter how much you can try to convince me that you know yourself and that you know that you will never be with anyone else, i'm gonna tell you that your wrong and that its just a feeling and that you will move on, and once u meet someone, you will immediately forget about all this and the way your thinking now, and your gonna go through another experience and commit to a relationship all over again. And it has nothing to do with being young, or when you get older, you can meet a guy tomorrow and fall inlove with him immediately, it has nothing to do with age. It has to do with moving on, and so many ppl go through this, imagine women who divorce several times, not only breakup with their boyfriends, and yet they marry again, imagine how that feels, breaking up a marriage is much harder and it hurts more, and yet they repeat the experience over and over and over, because they move on, we all must move on. And i know how sometimes it feels that you think that you fell down and you don't believe that you can get up and go on with your life, but unconsciously eventually you move on. So cheer up and try to take it lightly, try to not think that way, and not intentionally reject guys and push them away, just let things fall into place on their own and go with the flow.

HOpe i helped, feel free to contact me anytime.
Goodluck!

You are right,I really do feel like I'm not able to move on...sometimes I wish I never even had a boyfriend...
But the truth is,no matter what I do,life goes on...so thanks for these words of encouragement...I will try to make myself stronger and move on,it's useless to bother about something I have no influence on...
