Stop living your life like you're in some kind of a movie.  
Stop trying to cast your true love instead of just meeting them.
Love isn't always a lightning bolt, maybe sometimes it's just a choice.
Maybe true love is a decision.
A decision to take a chance with somebody.  
To give to somebody without worrying whether they'll give anything back or if they're going to hurt you or if they really are the one.
Maybe love isn't something that happens to you, maybe it's something you have to choose.


**True love is a process, not an event.
This is a paraphrased monologue by Britney Murpheys character "Jacks" in the movie Love and Other Disasters.  I'm trying to give credit where is due, it's not quoted because it's not all exactly as it was said but for the most part its lines from the movie. Hope you like it, I thought it was quite inspiring.

I know not how to fix this,
Nor do I know how you feel.
I know not what you think about me,
I know not if this is real.

I do not know if its self imagined,
That we have something unsual.
Between the emotion of love and doubt,
Some sort of intense confusion.

Sometimes when you look at me,
Your eyes say it all.
They say "stay, i want you here"
But when you look away,
I fall.

Maybe someday I'll know how to fix this,
Maybe I do already but im in denial,
It maybe once im in love with someone else,
But I fear that wont happen at all.
You steal the place of a prince when you look into my eyes

You steal my words when you kiss me

You steal my ability to move with just your touch

You steal my insecurities when you embrace me

You steal a joke just to see a smile on my face

You steal a light so I begin to glow

In return for all you steal you give me your heart <3

True love doesn't exist, and neither does "The One",
                              You marry the person who ****** you off the least.
He asks for my number
Should I give it to him?
Who knows what he will do with it
Can I trust him?
It's only seven digits
But it's my seven digits...
I do like him but it's not like we will get married
Will we get married?
It's possible but still very unlikely
What if he is the "one"?!
He could be the one
Yes I'll give him my number
This is what goes through my head with every guy that asks for my number

I loved her

*Loved
I dated someone for like 4 months and though we didn't talk much in person, I loved her SO much. She broke up with me. I had planned to kiss her on the last day of the year, and then 1 and a half weeks before, she broke up with me. I think I still like her a lot, but we haven't talked almost at all since then. I miss her so much.

And I'd give up forever,
To touch you

And I'd give up forever,
To see you

And I'd give up forever,
To tell you 3 words


I
Love
You

If I can find a guy who will watch "When Harry Met Sally" with me, without complaint, and will be okay with me talking through the entire movie, at 1 AM on a weekday even though we both have to work in the morning with tea, chocolate, and a fuzzy blanket, while I wear ugly sweats and an oversized hoodie with no make up and messed up hair, and somehow, if he can still find me beautiful at that moment, I know I've found the one.
that won't happen, of course.
Forget "If..." more like "if only..."
just a nice fairytale impossible day dream,
and I really love that movie.

Counting down the ashes that,
fall off my cigarette,
drinking my whisky,
wishing it was ***.
I can't remember
the last day I met you,
all I can recall
is that we had fun.
You were just a stranger,
until we spent our days together,
you became-
just a friend,
just, everything.

Oh September,
you were my- whole November,
you were my- white December,
my christmas star.
And in February,
I enjoyed the days you gave me,
Then came June, July,
Just you and I.

A bundle of memories,
is all you left me with,
you were my sweet August
under the sun.

All the times we loved and kissed,
even throughout the months we missed,

Just know, my love,
you were the one.

"The only thing
that I don't like
about this world
is the fact that
You & I
exist in two separate bodies
when we could easily live
in just One."
