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.

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)

20 female - Joe 19
I've known Joe for about 5 years now. He is like my best guy friend. I can tell him anything and trust him with my life which I can't do with many people. I've always had a crush on him. When I find another guy, I always seem to think about him. Sometimes the things he does and how he acts towards me makes me think he likes me more than a friend but I don't know.
He's always giving me hugs
He always listens, no matter what it is
I know he is attracted to me
He talks to me different than other girls I've realized, even texting. He short texts all other girls but with me he's different
Sometimes I will say love you at the end of a text or something and he always says "love you too linds!" which makes me smile
It seems like when we're around people and other guys he tries to "show me off" in a way
When he found out I was "talking" to another guy, I could tell he got really jealous
We ALWAYS flirt when we're together and the occasional cuddle
At a bonfire I was crying because I found out bad news with my family and I came back and he was like Linds come sit right here and he was pointing to his lap so I sat there in his arms..i didn't want to leave.
I could go on and on. But these could just be him being my best friend too right? How can you tell if it's something more or not? The thing that makes me back off a little is he was with a girl for 3 years, his only girlfriend. They still talk and are really close which makes me doubt myself. I would say something about liking him but I don't want to make myself look stupid and have our friendship be awkward.
Then sometimes I feel like he doesn't like me because..
When I ask him about other guys or talk about them he doesn't say much. I don't know if he really is bothered or if he tries to hide it. I always seem to have to text him, but he is always busy, but if he liked me wouldn't he text me every now and then? People say he could be intimidated by me because everyone tells me how pretty I am (not sounding conceited) but he is really cute too all the girls want him. Why doesn't he just make a move sometime!!? Sometimes I feel like he wants to kiss me or do something but he won't.
There are so many mixed signals. Are there any big signs?? More and more I've realized that I have to put myself out there and I've been trying, I mean it's pretty obvious I want him. What do you guys think? Please don't say just tell him, It's not that easy. If I could have I would of 5 years ago.. (link)

Okay, no I'm not going to tell you to just tell him, cause you shouldn't, I never really believe in girls making the first move, I feel like it makes the girl look manly or something. The point is, you are completely right to be confused, there are so many mixed signals here, and most of them say that he likes you and is trying to make a move but something is holding him back, and that thing could be the same thing that is holding you back, he's afraid you'd reject him, and then you'd lose your friendship as well. Best thing to do here, is to let things fall into place on their own, you shouldn't make a move, he should , and if he does love you, then he will make a move. When a person loves someone, they do anything to be with this person, and even if it means overcoming their fear and risking their friendship. So if he does like you, he will come around, you just have to wait, and enjoy what you have in the meantime. Maybe a little hinting around wouldn't hurt, like when you're talking, you can go like, do you ever picture us being together, do you think its possible, or something like that. Just give him the green light, that hint that tells him if you ask me to be your girlfriend, I will say yes. It's just a feeling you send across.
And about his ex girlfriend, if he still liked her, he would've gotten back with her, or he would've told you, there is nothing to stop him from doing that. So you shouldn't be intimidated by her or make that hold you back. They're probably just close cause after dating, they discovered that they are better off as just friends, some people don't work out as a couple, sometimes they are just meant to be friends, and that's probably how it is between him and his ex girlfriend.
