Happy Thanksgiving!

It's Thanksgiving! I hope you all are having a great Thanksgiving day. I love Thanksgiving. It's a very special holiday. But really, we should be thankful throughout the whole year, not just on one day. I am so grateful for so many things. I just want to say thank you to all of you! Thank you, for coming to my blog and reading all these quotes. You may not realize that these quotes are saying exactly how I feel the day I post them and it's my way of telling you what's going on in my life and how I'm feeling. Sometimes, I can't express that to people...even people who are close to me. So, this blog has helped me in many ways. Thank you so much for reading about my life and I hope I have helped you. Here are some quotes about Thanksgiving for you!

Losing you.

So, it's a new month and I thought to do this. I know what it's like when you lose somebody you love. It hurts. It takes a while to move on, or sometimes we never move on. Like I said, I know what it's like. It can be your friend, your sister, your dad, or even yourself. But we all experience a time in our life, where somebody close to us will leave us. Maybe they die, or maybe things just happen and you never see each other. So, I found some quotes...just a few, but I thought they should be shared. Hope you like them, and they help.

Is there any way to say sorry?

This week, as some of you know, my friend and I had one of those bumps in the road. It's been a difficult week for both of us, and things just happened. I really feel bad for anything that I might have said or done to make her think that I don't care. But, she is my best friend and I miss talking to her. I want us to be friends again, and I'm so sorry. I hope these quotes help her understand how sorry I am. So, this is for you Halle. I hope you realize how deeply sorry I am.

Forgivness begins with me!

I know there are many times that I get angry at people and I hate being the one that has to apologize. But I'm finally starting to grasp that even if they're the ones who are wrong, we still need to forgive them.

8) "Tell her how you admire her. When she's upset, hold her tight. Pick her over all the other girls you hang out with. Play with her hair. Pick her up, tickle her and wrestle with her. Just talk to her. Tell her jokes. Bring her flowers just because. Hold her hand and run. Just hold her hand. Let her fall asleep in your arms. Tell her she looks beautiful. Look into her eyes and smile. Kiss her on the forehead. Kiss her in the rain. If you want to be with her...tell her." -Unknown

I like being imperfect..." -Unknown
4) "Find a guy who calls you BEAUTIFUL instead of HOT. Who calls you back when you hang up on him. Wait for the boy who KISSES your forehead. Who wants to show you off to the WORLD when you are in your sweats. Who holds your HAND in front of his friends. Who thinks you're just as PRETTY without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he CARES, and LOVES being with you and how he's the LUCKIEST guy in the world to have you. The one who turns to his friends and says, 'THAT'S HER.'" -Unknown

Love that can't be?

Here's just a little poem I found that I like.
"Did you ever fall for someone you know you shouldn't?
Try hard to fight your feelings, but you just couldn't?
You fall deeper with each passing day,
But try to hide it in every possible way.
He's only a friend, and nothing else--
That's the lie you keeping telling yourself.
You keep on saying he's just a bud,
But deep inside, you're falling in love.
You get so giddy when you meet his eyes,
But keep reminding yourself it isn't right.
A simple glance turns into a stare,
But you pretned that you don't care.
It's "not right" for you two to be. 
Is that why you hide it so no one can see?
But how long will you pretend?
Keep lying that he's just a friend?
Perhaps your feelings you can never show.
Perhaps it's "wrong" for him to know.
Your friendship can't be risked over this, 
So being his girl is an impossible wish..." -Momei Qu
