Chasing Chivalry.

" Be more concerned with your character than your reputation,

because your character is what you really are, 

while your reputation is merely what others think you are. "

John Wooden 

People forget sometimes while busy chasing something relatively irrelevant.

Never Say Never.

One of my favorite movies and my favorite scene! ;3

We sat in front of my house in your car trying to keep warm from the brisk cold winter air. I held your cheek in the palm of my hand and rubbed my thumb against the scruff I yearned to have against my own cheek and you sat there looking at me with eyes that said Don’t let me go, don’t let us go, but I couldn’t seem to hear you, or didn’t want to or it in the same gentle manner I held your face. Maybe that was my way of saying I have to, it’s for the best like I was a child who was for the first time trying to understand that things can’t always go my way. And so I held back, my tears, my heart, my bitter remarks —  but my insides always trembled in quiet disagreement.

Now all I have are these fading memories and I can’t wait for them to be all gone.

'Maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there’s a tomorrow. Maybe for you there’s one thousand tomorrows, or three thousand, or ten, so much time you can bathe in it, roll around it, let it slide like coins through you fingers. So much time you can waste it. But for some of us there’s only today.

 And the truth is, you never really know.'

- Before I Fall, Lauren Oliver

If that's the case... oh crap. ;x

Move Along.

I’ve had to say good-bye more times than I may have like, but everyone can say that. And no matter how many times we have to do it - even if it’s for the greater good, it still stings. And although we will never forget what we’ve given up, we owe it to ourselves to keep moving forward. What we can’t do is live our lives afraid of the next good-bye because chances are they are not going to stop. The trick is to recognize when a good-bye can be a good thing - when it’s a chance to start again.

If Only.

' She prefers to deny it, but he’ll always have eyes for her and her only — and it’s evident to everyone else that’s she’s irreplaceable. She’s the one even if she doesn’t want to be the one, but you think she secretly does.. and is just waiting for the moment, for the change, for him to finally grow up and realize the things he needs to do for them to have their happy ending, and for him to know he needs to do them now, now, now before it’s too late — before she gives up and finds her replacement for him. '
