i'll never forget, the way you look tonight.

the road is long and hard. but i know the end is well worth it.
i don't know where we'll end up,
but i'll try my best anyway, and i know you will too (:
happiness really takes a lot of courage and strength outta me.
there's always the prospect of hurt and disappointment which looms in the distance.
but like you said, allowing that prospect to invade my happiness is only going to make for greater unhappiness.
and if it all ends eventually, i'd rather have good memories to look back upon.
and who knows?
we just might make it, i know we both want to :D

its tough remaining child-like in the face of a world that's long moved on. it's easy to slip into the trap of being jaded and cynical about everything, about love and friendship, about trust and the goodness of humanity. we're often disappointed by what we see, but it does not have to be. we have choices. we can choose to live out our dreams. we can choose to love, wholly and unequivocally. we can choose to be trustworthy and kind. it's all a matter of choice.

"We often ask ourselves, who am I to be gorgeous,brilliant, talented and fabulous?"
"Well, actually, who are you not to be?"
