The downside...and upside of life

Yes, life is AMAZING. But lately, I don't know...it hasn't been as good as people make it seem. I mean I've had some really good moments this past week, but you know, to tell you the truth...a lot of it has been horrible. Just downright pitiful and I've hated this whole week. I will say, I was glad of some things that happened, but for the most part, I hated it. I don't mean to sound all depressed or anything, I just thought that since I haven't really done a "downer" post, I may as well do one and get it over with...especially since I've been feeling like crap the whole week. Sometimes you need the bad quotes to make you feel better and remember the good things you have. Like after I read through some of these I was reminded about how my old director asked me this week to be his assistant director for his new play. That's one of the biggest things that happened to me, and was probably the best. So, I hope these also remind you of the good things in your life. Yes, life sucks...but it sucks just so we can look for the good things, which takes lots of talent. Believe me! So here I have some quotes about hating life and pretty much sucking, and then some more uplifting quotes about life being what you make it. Hope you like at least one of these quotes! :)

Chocolates, flowers, hugs, and kisses...

It's almost time for Valentine's Day! Like I keep saying, I'm really excited for it! I still have nothing that I know of to be excited for, but that's okay. It doesn't have to be about that special someone, you can have a great time just with your friends and family. Even though I'm really excited for Valentine's Day, I'm done with the month of February. It feels like it should be almost over, yet it's hardly in the middle of the month and I'm just bored with it being February. I really want March to come along. Oh, I'm doing pretty well with my braid challenge, I've been able to keep up with that. Even if some days I just want to pull it back in a normal ponytail or just leave it down cuz I'm too lazy. It's been a challenge looking for new braids to do, but it's been kind of fun. Well that's enough of my little life...so here are some quotes. :)

"Love is good, love sometimes hurts; but if it's the right person for you, it'll work." -Carlos Diaz Lopez

It's getting closer to Valentine's Day. Which normally, I don't care too much about. But I decided not to be a downer on it this year and I'm super excited. I have nobody who has told me they liked me and stuff, so I don't really have that "special someone," but I'm really excited...as I said in my last post. I know a lot of people who don't really like Valentine's Day, and maybe you are one of those people, but oh well...love quotes are the best, and they are always amazing. So, let's get on to these quotes already!!! Oh, and thank you to those who gave me some quotes for this. :)

It's the month to get all lovey dovey. Haha. I must say, these past two days have been....well I'm not sure how to describe them. But they've been really fun and AMAZING, let's just say that. Let's hope the rest of the month is like this. Knock on wood....ha I really did knock on wood. Oh, this month, I'm doing a challenge of a different braid every day of February. So far, of course it's been good, cuz it's only been 2 days. I'm actually really excited for this month. And I'm kind of excited for Valentine's Day, even though I don't have a Valentine or a special someone. Maybe I will later... ;) but for now...I don't. Anyways, yea I'm excited. I'm not really sure why, but this year I just feel like being excited. So, here are some little love quotes for this week. I love, love quotes, as many of you know, and would die if any guy said one to me, or wrote one to me in a note or anything with one, haha. These ones are so cute, so I hope you like them!!!

"I don't mind when our conversations get a little boring. I don't mind when we're texting and we run out of things to say. When we're hanging out together but not doing anything, well I don't mind that either. It doesn't matter to me because I've realized, that when you're truly in love, every moment spent together doesn't have to be breath-taking, that you'll still feel like the luckiest person alive even through the most unexciting times, and you will feel completely comfortable together because you know that just having each other is more than enough. And there comes a moment when you find out that it's not important what you're talking about or where you're going or what you're doing. The only thing that matters is that you are with each other. And that's enough to feel happy." -GirlPimp (I found this on http://www.boardofwisdom.com/default.asp great website just so ya know)



"Last night I matched each star with a reason for loving you. I was doing great until I ran out of stars." -Unknown


"Find that guy that will pick up every piece of your shattered heart and put it back together; keeping one piece for himself, replacing it with a piece of his." -Unknown
