Dear Vacation


So I know that soon I will be on vacation but I am ready to go now. I haven't been on a true vacation in about 4 years & let me tell you, this is well needed & well deserved. I will be going to Vegas baby & I am excited! I went once when I was 13 but I didn't really care for it & I think that's because I was to young to really appreciate it. I know this sounds really lame but I just want to go & hang out by the pool while sipping a mimosa.

Ralph Waldo Emerson


Another page dedicated to Ralph Waldo Emerson, I found this page of quotes & I was totally inspired! Enjoy

“Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting.”

“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.”

“We are always getting ready to live, but never living”

“All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.”

“People only see what they are prepared to see.”

“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.”

“Make yourself necessary to somebody.”

“A man is usually more careful of his money than he is of his principles.”

“Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.”

“What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.”

“We change, whether we like it or not”

“Religion is to do right. It is to love, it is to serve, it is to think, it is to be humble.”

“The first wealth is health.”

“Every man has his own courage, and is betrayed because he seeks in himself the courage of other persons.”

“This time,like all times, is a good time, if we but know what to do with it.”

“To the attentive eye, each moment of the year has its own beauty, and in the same field, it beholds, every hour, a picture which was never seen before, and which shall never be seen again”

“Talent alone cannot make a writer. There must be a man behind the book; a personality which, by birth and quality, is pledged to the doctrines there set forth, and which exists to see and state things so, and not otherwise.”

“Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.”

“Insist upon yourself. Be original.”

This last one isn't Emerson but I still liked it:

"If you have zest & enthusiasm you attract zest & enthusiasm. Life does give back in kind."

Some of my favorite quotes

"Sometimes i wonder if anything's absolute anymore. Is There Still right and wrong? Good and bad? Truth and lies? Or is everything negotiable,left to interpretation, grey. Sometimes we're forced to bend the truth, transform it, cause we're faced with things that are not of our own making. And sometimes things simply catch up to us."-One Tree Hill

"Truth is still absolute. Believe that. Even when that truth is hard and cold, and more painful than you've ever imagined. And even when truth is more cruel than any lie."-One Tree Hill

"Have you ever wondered what marks our time here? If one life can really make an impact on the world...or if the choices we make matter? I believe they do. And I believe that one man can change many lives. For better...or worse."-One Tree Hill


"There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment you must choose your direction. Will you fight to stay on the path while others tell you who you are? Or will you label yourself? Will you be honored by your choice? Or will you embrace your new path? Each morning you choose to move forward or to simply give up."-OTH

"Love is just a word until someone comes along & gives it meaning."

"the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous."-Sex & the City

"Sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down."

Maybe the past is like an anchor holding us back. Maybe, you have to let go of who you were to become who you will be.-sex & the city

"Money may not buy happiness, but it sure takes you shopping."-Summer at Tiffany

"The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds."-The Notebook


"Hate is baggage. Life's to short to be pissed off all the time. It's just not worth it."-american history x

"beginnings are scary, endings are usually sad, but it's the middle that counts the most. Try to remember that when you find yourself at a new beginning. Just give hope a chance to float up. And it will, too... "-Hope Floats


"Life is like a box o...f chocolates, you never know what your gonna get."-Forrest Gump


"You better know that in the end
It's better to say too much
Than never to say what you need to say.
Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as your eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open
Say what you need to say."-JM

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts."-Shakespeare

The older you get, the more rules they are going to try and get you to follow. You just gotta keep on livin', man. L-I-V-I-N. -dazed & confused

I love you, in a really, really big pretend to like
your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you.-Grey's Anatomy

I do not regret the things I have done, but those I did not do.-Empire Records

"Oh, take your time...don't live too fast, troubles will come & they will pass."-LS

"Laugh as much as you breathe & love as long as you live."

All you need is love.

"For what it's worth, it was worth all the while."-Green Day

"You ever look a picture of yourself, and see a stranger in the background?. It makes you wonder how many strangers have pictures of you. How many moments of other peoples life have we been in. Were we a part of someone's life when their dream came true or were we there when their dream died. Did we keep trying to get in? As if we were somehow destined to be there or did the shot take us by surprise. Just think, you could be a big part of someone elses life, and not even know it."-OTH

"Because it´s only when you´re tested that you truly discover who you are. And it´s only when you´re tested that you discover who you can be. The person that you want to be does exist, somewhere in the other side of hard work and faith, and belief and beyond the HEARTACHE and fear of what life has."-oth

You know it's been said that we just don't recognize the significant moments of our lives while they are happening. We grow complacent with ideas, or things or people and we take them for granted and it's usually not until that thing is about to be taken away from you that you've realized how wrong you've been that you realized how much you need it, how much you love it.

Every once in a while people step up, they rise above themselves. Sometimes they surprise you, and sometimes they fall short. Life is funny sometimes, it can push pretty hard, but if you look close enough you find hope in the words of children, in the bars of a song and in the eyes of someone you love. And if you're lucky, and if you're the luckiest person on this entire planet, the person you love decides to love you back.

"Most of our lives are a series of images, they pass us by like towns on a highway. But sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens and we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image. We know that this moment, every part of it, will live on forever."-oth

Every song ends. Is that any reason not to enjoy the music?

At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world. Six billion souls. And sometimes -- all you need is one.

"You gotta take a chance on something sometime."-The Office
