Hey, girl ...

"I heard once that well behaved women rarely make history, so, be a bad ass and don’t regret a thing. We all die. The goal of life isn’t to live forever; it’s to create something that will. I try hard to make people happy, but in reality everyone needs to go out there and find happiness for themselves. I always keep my head up, and you better believe I have looked back, but I have learned not to, for everything that occurs happens for a reason. Try your best at first impressions, because you only have one kiss, one chance, one dance to be the difference between happily ever after and “yeah she’s just some girl I knew.” When something hurts you, stay mad as long as you can because once it gets you upset, it takes nothing but time to get over it. So you should always be careful on whom you waste your time with, they may not be here tomorrow. Although, you should never forget what they did to you, but never let them know that you remember. I feel if you want something, you have to go out there and take what’s yours, because nothing is impossible. Don’t you ever pray when it rains, if you don’t give thanks when it shines, because you don’t deserve it. Always count your blessings, for they’re long gone, girl. My adventure has begun since the day I was born, and you better believe I'm gonna shine as greatly as the sun. I’ve always been a dreamer. Too often in life, I see girls chasing after something, that isn’t after them. I truly believe the only guy you deserve, is the one who thinks he doesn’t. Everybody can change, for better or for worse, but the only way you’ll ever change is if you give up your old ways. Love is a strong word, and too many people out there throw it around like its nothing. Love is a fire, but whether it’s going to warm your heart or burn your house down, you can never tell but take the risk anyway. Love is pain, tears, confusion, and will break you down, but also it will give you life. Never think about right and wrong, just live life, cross your fingers and hope for the best. For heavens not a place you go when you die, it’s that moment in life when you actually feel alive. Twenty years from now, you’ll be more upset by the things you didn’t do, than the things that you did. Goodbyes are harder than anything - face pressed against the glass as a tear rolls down your face - it’ll never leave my mind. But always be thankful that you have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. You’ll go through life, not knowing who to trust, for suspicion not proof, ruins everything. So build walls high enough around your heart, where you think no one will climb, so when they do you’ll know it’s oh so right. Everyone makes mistakes, I speak without thinking, act without knowing, drink 'til I can't walk, but I believe god knows I mean well. So many girls need to believe that men and women love each other, that they go home to each other every night. They believe that it will happen to them, eventually. Boys, it’s easy for a good girl to go bad, don’t be that reason. You guys got to learn how to treat them right because once that good girl is gone, she’s gone forever. Always remember, "Lucky is the man who is the first love of the woman, luckier is the woman who is the last love of a man". Never fight your feelings, it only makes things complicated and turns into a game. Speak your mind and if nothing happens, realize it’s only for the best. What do you do when he stops loving you? You cry a little then wait for the sun to come up, because it always does. Pain is only temporary, it’s the connections that we make that last forever, and change us in ways we don’t even realize yet. You see, we're all lying in the gutter but some of us; well we're looking at the stars. So girls, this ones to you for being afraid of change, and yet still trying to change things."
