He: I’m trying to understand you.

Me: You’ve been trying to screw me into submission.

He: I have not.

Me: And I let you.

Him: I’m trying to understand you. To know you. To love you. And I don’t know how. I don’t know how coz you don’t give me anything.

Me: I gave you everything.

Him: Maybe I was trying to screw you into submission. Maybe I was trying to connect.

Me: I lost myself for a really long time. Now that I’m me again, I can’t. You took a piece of me. And I let you. And that will never happen again.

Be the person you ought to be

Me: Please, I don’t want you to see me like this.

Friend: All due respect, I think everybody’s seen you like this. I don’t know details, but you can’t sit here anymore. Not like this.

Me: Smoking & drinking feels a little bit like all I have left.

Friend: You are better than this. I’ve seen you been better. You go get better. You be the person I’ve always known you to be.

Apologize

9 out of 10, you can make a problem go away if you apologize. People like to feel heard. They like to feel respected and they’d like to hear an apology.

him: i made a terrible mistake. i love you. do you still love me at all?

me: i don’t know if i can sort of love you.

him: i can get by with a little bit of love for now.

me: that’s not me. I know how hard you’re trying. i’m not completely oblivious. and it would be so much easier if i could make myself forget. but when i look at you, i just feel regret and sadness.

him: that’s not a problem. whatever it takes. just tell me what to do.

me: i don’t know.

him: i’m realistic. i’m human. i’m not perfect, you said it yourself.

me: i know you’re not. but i was so in love with you and now i’m just so disappointed. and i don’t trust you anymore.

him: no, i’m so sorry. i want you to expect everything from me. you’re not going to get it but i am going to promise to try to give it. i love you.

Keep ya head up

-There’s gon’ be some stuff you gon’ see
that’s gon’ make it hard to smile in the future.
But through whatever you see,
through all the rain and the pain,
you gotta keep your sense of humor.
You gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit.
Remember that. Keep ya head up..

Don`t be afraid

// February 7th, 2010 // No Comments » // Laila's Randomness, Love

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let you down probably will.

You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it’s harder every time.

You’ll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You’ll fight with your best friend. You’ll blame a new love for things an old one did. You’ll cry because time is passing too fast, and you’ll eventually lose someoneyou love.

So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you’ve never been hurt because every
sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back.

Don’t be afraid that your life will end,
be afraid that it will never begin.

By your side – Sade

Inspiration

// January 28th, 2010 // No Comments » // Laila's Randomness

The word “inspire” literally means to “breathe (life) into” something or someone; to “enliven.” Some people seem to be naturally full of vibrancy and that people find irresistible. Being an inspiring person is more than just being charismatic. It’s something from the heart. Good speakers know how to inspire people with words. Artists know the power in a song or beautiful image. Certain, special people know how to make those around them feel good about themselves and the possibilities they have in life. Hopefully each of us knows someone like that. If you don’t, that’s all the more reason for you to be that person.

Inspiration is the key to why people simply live. It has created the sense to set goals and challenges for ones’ self and more importantly the drive to achieve it. Inspiration has created the sense of hopes and miracles in the hearts of people from every walks of life. Since the time we arrived from birth, our parents have inspired us to learn, explore, and discover. Then we take on the world with ambitions and dreams knowing that we follow the footsteps of our idols. Then it finally comes the time where it continues on with us leading the way to not only be responsible but to also inspire the future generation to come.

Hope inspires people in life. “Tomorrow will be a better day” motivates me for living.

// Passion //

If there were ever a time to dare, to make a difference, to embark on something worth doing, it is now. Not for any grand cause, necessarily – but for something that tugs at your heart, something that’s your aspiration, something that’s your dream.

You owe it to yourself to make your days here count. Have fun. Dig deep. Stretch.

Dream Big

Know, though that things worth doing seldom come easy. There will be good days. And there will be bad days. There will be times when you want to turn around, pack it up, and call it quits. Those times tell you that you are pushing yourself, that you are not afraid to learn by trying.

Persist.

Because with an idea, determination, and the right tools, you can do great things. Let your instincts, your intellect, and your heart guide you.

Trust.

Believe in the incredible power of the human mind. Of doing something that makes a difference. Of working hard. Of laughing and hoping. Of lazy afternoons. Of lasting friends. Of all the things that cross your path this year.

The start of something new brings the hope of something great. Anything is possible. There is only one you. And you will only pass this way once. Do it right.

Goodbye

// January 24th, 2010 // No Comments » // Laila's Randomness, Love

I had to say goodbye more times than I would have liked but everyone can say that. And no matter how many times we do it, even if it is for the greater good, it still stings. And though, we’ll 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 goodbye. Because chances are, they’re not going to stop. The trick is to recognize when a goodbye can be a good thing, when it’s a chance to start again.
