Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect-
it means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.

all the times we laughed , all the stupid things we've said , all the weird looks given , all the interesting things we've worn , all the dramatic situations we've been in , all the stories we've told that have brought us closer together , all the ignorant rumors spread , all the rude people who have gotten in the way , all the smiles , and all the things that have ruined us .

this has become my new favorite quote , it is sooooo truuue *

You wonder why I keep my guard up. It's because people like you always leave me. I've learned to trust no one.
