Vond het op de hyves van een meisje uit me klas. Vind het echt prachtig.

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be (possibly your roommate, neighbour, lover, a long lost friend or even a totaly stranger), but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way. And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painfull and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.

The people who you meet will affect your life and the succes and downfalls, your experience, help to create who you become. Even the bad experience can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones. If someones hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, because in a way they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.

It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is more painfull is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift. Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion and the romance in a relationship and find out you still care for that person. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.

The best kind of friend is the kind that u can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you have ever had. It is true that we dont know what we’ve got untill we lose it, but it’s also true that we dont know what we’ve been missing untill it arrives. Giving someone all your love is never assurance that they will love u back. Don’t expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart, but if it doesnt, be content it grew in yours. There are things you would love to hear that you would never hear from the person whom you would like to hear it from, but dont be so deaf as not to hear it from the one who says it from his heart.

Never say goodbye if you still want to try, never give up if you still feel u can go on, never say that you don’t love a person anymore if u can’t let go. Love comes to those who still hope although they have been dissapointed, to those who still believe although they have been betrayed, to those who still need to love although they have been hurt before and to those who have the courage and faith to build trust again. It takes only a minute to get crush on someone, and hour to like someone, and a day to love someone but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Dont go for looks; they can deceive. Dont go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

There are moments in life when you miss someone that u just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real. Dream what u want to dream; go where u want to go; be what u want to be, because you only have one life and chance to do all the things you want to do. Always put yourself in other shoes. If it feels that it hurts you, it probably hurts that person too. A careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a life; a timely word may level stress; a loving word may heal and bless. Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lifes.

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, u can’t go on well in life untill you let go of your past failures and heartaches. When u were born, you were crying and everyone around was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you’re the one who was smiling and everyone around you is crying.
