I've been there and I wanna tell you something, it gets better. It does. That pain in your stomach, that pain in your heart, it goes away.
That voice in your head that's saying there's no way out, it's wrong. It gets better.
I could have held you in my arms forever, and it still wouldn't have been long enough.
There's a story behind every person. There's a reason why they are the way they are. They aren't just like that, because they want to. Something in the past created them, and sometimes it's impossible to fix them.
Take chances. Tell the truth. Date someone totally wrong for you. Say no. Spend all your cash. Get to know someone random. Be random. Say I love you. Sing out loud. Laugh at stupid jokes. Cry. Apologize. Tell someone how much they mean to you. Tell a jerk what you think. Laugh till your stomach hurts. Live life. Regret nothing.
I almost stopped there, knowing that if I kept the words inside me, the magic moment would go and I could get away without expressing my true feeling. 'You have no idea how much the last few days have meant to me', I began. 'Meeting you has been the best thing that's ever happened to me'. I hesitated, knowing that if I stopped now, I'd never be able to say it to anyone. 'I love you', I whispered. I had always imagined it would cost too much to say those two words together, but it was not. In my whole life had been more sure of my words, and although I hoped someday I could hear from Savannah the same words, what mattered most was knowing that love was mine to give, without strings or expectations.
'Did you ever imagine something like this?', she wondered aloud. 'You and me, I mean?'.
'No', I said.
'It scared me a little'. My stomach flipped, and all at once, I was sure she didn't feel the same way. 'You don't have to say it back to me', I began, 'That's not what I said it -'
'I know', she interrupted. 'You don't understand, I wasn't scared because you told me, I got scared because I wanted to say it too, I love you, John'.
Nadie sabe lo que hace mientras actua correctamente, pero de lo que esta mal uno siempre es consciente.
Thank you for coming into my life and giving me joy. Thank you for loving me and receiving my love in return. Thank you for the memories I will cherish forever. But most of all, thank you for showing me that there will come a time when I can eventually let you go.
+ Your mother and I want you to know that you were right not to give up on your gift, is who you are and is who your mother is, and we should never.. I should never deny that again.
- We call it a gift for a reason. It allows us to be able to help people in ways that other can't and we have to respect that, learn from it, take care of it and never hide it from each other again, okay? Deal?
* Deal.
+ Good night, sweetie.
- I meant what I said, you know. You were my hero tonight.
* Just like you are, mom, everyday.
The saddest people I've ever met in life are the ones who don't care deeply about anything at all.
Estoy harta de intentar demostrarle a todo el mundo lo que valgo. Se lo que puedo hacer, se de lo que soy capaz, asique no pienso matarme intentando hacerte cambiar de opinion. Pero quiero que tengas en cuenta una cosa: Cuando vuelvas la vista atras y extrañes lo que podriamos haber tenido... acordate que fuiste vos. La decision fue tuya.
Yo estaba dispuesta a correr el riesgo y meterme de lleno en esto. Sos vos el que te das por vencido.
