To my best friend, Cecilia.

Well, Cecilia is one of the most amazing people on this earth. And, when I say amazing, I mean stunning, intelligent, unparalleled, innovative, and charming. Gosh, I just love her so damn much. No one will ever be able to touch my heart like she has. She's seen me at my best, my happiest. She's seen me and got me through my worst. She was hands on involved in my stupidest moments.
Once upon a time, while I was at her house, we decided to go hiking up a hill where we found a little cave. Fearing mountain lions, we ran back to her house. We came back armed with a bat, I believe, and salt water. Because that can really protect two twelve year old girls from a mountain lion, right?
Another time, during her little sister's sleep over party, we had the idea to prank them. We sneaked into the kitchen with lotion, shaving cream, and various other ingredients of mayhem. Cecil had the idea to get whipped cream. Being stupid, though, she grabbed it by its lid and it fell out and landed on my foot. I thought I broke it. It was just a bruise though.
And have any of you been on The Grizzly at Great America? Well, girls, you might not want to go on with your boyfriends. Trust me, kay?
Well, I hope this shows a small portion of my love for the extremely incredible girl I'm proud to have called my best friend since forth grade.
I love you Cecilia, Cecil, Smecil, Smeci, Cec.
With all of my heart,
Jessy :]

PS. Like this.

Today, I hate cacti.

I always understand, in case you ever feel like being understood.
Challenges are what make like interesting. Overcoming them is what makes like worth it.
I sang your songs, I danced your dance, I gave all of your friends a dance but it wasn't worth never being yours.
Hopeless romantics know the truth: he's not just another heartbreaker. He's simply fallen in love with you.
Find me a person on their death bed who regrets chasing their dreams and I'll put down this microphone right now.
How long gone are you gonna be?
I want to be that one chance you took hoping that it would be the best chance you'd ever take.
Practice makes perfect but too much makes a whore.
I just need to see that two people can stay together forever.
True love brings out the best of you, it doesn't become the best of you.
I could make a million or wind up broke, free and easy down the road I go.
Hope is the ability to listen to the music of the future. Faith is being able to dance to it today.
People like you make people like me want to be a better person.
They can't kill your dreams, so they assassinate your character.
Maybe someday you'll look back and say, "Wow. That girl did love me."
Just a game? That's worse than sticks and stones.
Do it today. It could be illegal tomorrow.
Smile, gorgeous, because you deserve to.
YOU MAY SEE ME STRUGGLE, BUT YOU'LL NEVER SEE ME FALL.

Today, I hate spotlights.

Everybody stumbles sometimes and needs a hand to hold.
I love sleep. My life tends to fall apart when I'm awake, ya know?
You remind me of a song I used to love.
You can erase someone from your mind, but getting them out of your heart is another story.
We talked about old times and it made me smile because you didn't forget.
If I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I left you with nothing but a few tears in my eyes.
He held me way too long to be considered platonic but I didn't try to stop him. I let my head fall on his shoulder and I breathed his scent of rain in. His hands fell in the right place - one on the small of my back and one between my shoulder blades. They were big and warm and they made me feel so very safe.
Your picture is still up on my wall. Its not even a very good picture of you. I've seen more attractive boys but there's something about that smile on your face that brings tears to my eyes. I've always loved that smile.
Sometimes it's hard to love someone because you're so afraid to lose them.
And darn fool can make something complicated. It takes a genius to make something simple.
My heart is tied to you. Sadly, my lips are not.
We do not change as we grow older. We become more clearly ourselves.
And I became very sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can't ever be fixed.
This too shall pass.
~~ Everything leaves a mark. ~~
At the end of the day, you either focus on what tears you apart or what holds you together.
Boy, you make my heart beat uncontrollably.
And she's scared because she's starting to realize how much he means to her.
And after all this time, the sun never says to the earth, "Hey, kid, you owe me." See what a love like that does? It lights up the world.

Today, I hate haters.

This post, or at least the first ten quotes, is/are dedicated to one of my best friends in this entire world, Shelbea. She told me that almost all of my quotes are about relationships so I present to you ten that are not. :] Love, Jessica.

I'm not giving up. I'm starting over.
I want a friend who will notice that I'm not okay just by the way I'm texting them.
The more boys I meet, the more I love my dog.
Here's a map and here's a bible, in case you ever lose your way.
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean.
Well behaved women rarely make history.
People say that everything happens for a reason but really, we just give a reason for everything that's happened.
A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.
And then you said my name, and I knew I couldn't ignore you any longer.
You don't know this but, it's not supposed to be like this. Life isn't supposed to be this hard.
Here’s to the kids. The kids who would spend their night with Patrick or Sonny playing on their headphones then go to some vomit-stained high school party. Here's to the kids who 11:11 wish was wasted on one person who will never be there for them. Here's to the kids whose idea of a good night is sitting on the hood of a car, watching the stars. Here's to the kids who were never too good at life, but were still wicked cool. Here's to the kids who listened to Fall Out Boy and Hawthorne Heights before they were on MTV. Here's to the kids that blame MTV for ruining their life. Here's to the kids who care more about the music then the haircut. Here's to the kids who have crushes on a stupid lush. Here's to the kids who hum 'a little less sixteen candles and a little more touch me' when they're stuck at home, dateless, on a Saturday night. Here's to the kids who have ever had a broken heart from someone who didn't even know they existed. Here's to the kids that read Perks of Being a Wallflower and didn't feel alone after doing so. Here's to the kids who spend their days in photo booths with their best friend. Here's to the kids who are straight up smartasses and just don't care. Here's to the kids who speak their mind. Here's to the kids who consider screamo their lullaby for going to sleep. Here's to the kids who second guess themselves on everything they do. Here's to the kids who will never have 100% confidence in anything they do, and to the kids who are okay with that. - Pete Wentz
Its funny how someone can break your heart and you'll still love them with all the little pieces.
And maybe, someday, you'll write me a song too.
Let's flip a coin. Heads - you're mine. Tails - I'm yours.
A boy cried to God, "Why did I lose her?" God said, "You didn't lose her. You let her go."
It is a risk to love. What if it doesn't work out? Oh, but what if it does?
She said, "My heart is bleeding for you." And he says, "You're getting blood on my shoes."
Everyone is taught to look both ways before you cross the street and to be quiet in the library but we're never taught the important things, like how to keep breathing when your heart breaks in half.

Today, I hate cupboards.

Goodbyes make you think of what you had, what you lost, and what you took for granted.
Its not that our love died, its just that it never really bloomed.
Promise me she isn't your whole world.
Everytime we kissed, you closed your eyes but I forced mine open just to see those short-lived moments where I let myself let you.

Just to see you smile, I'd do anything you tell me to.

I'm not comfortable with how this story ends. At first we were lovers, and now we're not even friends.
Hello, its me again. A whole lot has changed since I left.
It doesn't hurt to dream. It hurts to wake up.
I don't know why I act the way I do, like I have nothing to lose. Sometimes I act like my own worst enemy. I guess that's just the cowboy in me.
My favorite was when he finally said I love you. When I told him "I love you too," I felt, even in the darkness, how happy he was to hear those words. He had the cutest smile on him & he said, "I can't believe you love me too."

Jake, I love you. So please, don't make me choose. Cause it'll be him. It's always been him

[ ^^ for my brother, Jake ^^]
You just don't get it, do you? I'm not the girl you used to know.
There's something in you smile that makes me think that maybe you weren't quite ready to let me go either.
Do you ever feel like, if you were prettier, life would be so much easier?

I know I didn't love him, but I don't think anyone will understand how much I miss that boy.

Today, I was on the bus, venting to my best friend; my date had stood me up. I blamed it on my looks. As we got off, I heard a little boy say to his grandma, "I don't think she was ugly. I think she's pretty. I'd marry her."
"Wow... I'm so... I don't know... What's the word?"
"Perfect?"

She completely fell for him, but he didn't even stumble.

Sometimes, someone says something and it fits into a little empty place in your heart.
Since I ain't got nothing, I ain't got nothing to lose.

All you had to do was fight for me.
Its sad when people you know become people you knew. When you can walk right past someone and act like they were never a big part of your life. When you used to be able to talk for hours and now you can't talk at all.

~~If you judge people, you have no time to love them.~~
Arms are for hugging. Boys are for kissing. Sluts are for dissing. Best friends are for when the boy is kissing the slut and all you really need is a hug.
You're her whole entire world, kid.

Caught in between

Why is everyone obsessing over werewolves and vampires? I laugh at them because I have an incredibly attractive, human all to myself. ;]

You know you love someone when you when: no matter how much you fight, you always make up; no matter how mad they make you, you always forgive them; and no matter how hard you try, it's impossible to live without them.

There's nothing like hearing an old song on the radio and remembering why you loved it so much.

Beam out tonight.

one.
She knew one hundred and forty calories wasn't enough to live by
but she didn't really want to live, per se.

two.

If you're going to love me, love me deeply. If you're going to break my heart, break it all. If you're going to care about me, care about me completely. If you're not going to hold me, don't let me fall. If you're going to stay forever, stay forever but if you're going to leave, leave today. If you're going to change, change for the better and if you're going to talk, mean what you say.

three.
"The way I feel for you is just ridiculously special."
"I just love you."

four.
Don't worry, when I'm famous, I'll remember you.
I'll remember you and how you were always there for me.
[^^dedicated to Nicole Noel and Susel Alina!^^]

five.
I don't care how far away from me you are, or how long its been since we've talked. I don't care how mad I got at you or how mad you've been at me. You're still what matters most to me and I could never give up on that.

six.
Take me back to when our world was one block wide;
When I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried.

seven.
He stumbles over his words. Closes his eyes tightly. Breathes in. Breathes out. Almost loses his courage. "I love you," he says. "I love you so much it hurts."

eight.
It's not where you are in life. It's who you have by your side.

nine.
But I'm not good for you, and if you want my friends' opinions, you're not good for me either. But disregarding all of that, you still hold my heart, just like always.

ten.
Its hard to wait around for something that you know might never happen but its even harder to give up on it when its all you've ever wanted.
