Life After You

This is a song by Daughtry that I enjoy very much. Not only does lead singer Chris Daughtry have a great voice but he puts so much feelings and emotion into the song it's hard not to enjoy it.
CHROUS All that I'm after is a life full of laughter As long as I'm laughin' with you I'm thinkin' that all that still matters is love ever after After the life we've been through 'Cause I know there's no life after you
I love the chorus the most because I think it's so romantic and sweet and if a guy ever sang this to a girl, I just hope he means it. Songs like this shouldn't be written if there's no meaning or experience behind it in my opinion.

HP Lovecraft

I discovered HP Lovecraft (HP stands for Howard Phillip) on the internet. I don't remember which website but I decided to google him. I was intrigued when I found out he was from Providence! On google, I discovered that he writes horrific stories. His stories are too long to put here (and I'm too lazy to read the whole things :P) So here is a quote:
Blue, green, grey, white, or black; smooth, ruffled, or mountainous; that ocean is not silent.
This quote is interesting because although oceans don't really make noise, they are not silent either.

Marilyn Monroe

I also don't know much about Marilyn Monroe but I liked this quote:
“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.” ― Marilyn Monroe
I also believe that everything happens for a reason. I'm a strong believer in karma and what goes around, comes around. These days, it's getting harder and harder to trust and maybe it means that those people are not meant to be in your life. Also I believe that sometimes you have to go through the bad to get to the good.

Music

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. Aldous Huxley
I think quote explains itself. When you can't explain yourself with words, you can use music. How many times you have you felt like a song truly relates to you? I love that feeling because it makes me feel like I'm not the only one. Reference; http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/topics/topic_music.html

Fashion

Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening. Coco Chanel
I think this is true because ideas from fashion can come from anywhere. Animal prints and nature prints are an example. They are things found outside. Not everything had to be boring or typical. As a person interested in fashion, this really stuck with me because I would like to design all kinds of things from gowns to jeans. Reference: http://www.allgreatquotes.com/fashion_quotes.shtml

Wise Words from a Woman

I don't know anything about Audrey Hepburn but I really liked this quote:
"The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years."— Audrey Hepburn
My favorite part is, "The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides." This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever read. It makes me wish that other people were as open minded and thought the way Audrey Hepburn did and saw a woman's inner beauty. It is also important for females to know that they don't have to wear a ton of makeup to be beautiful. It's what's on the inside that matters the most.

Fix a Heart- Demi Lovato

And I just ran out of Band-Aids. I don't even know where to start. Cause you can bandage the damage. You never really can fix a heart.
I like this song a lot because I think a lot of girls can relate to it and I think it's true. I think Demi is trying to say that once you hurt someone, you can't repair the damage that you caused them because it's not a physical pain, it's emotional and it takes longer to get over emotional pain.

Stay Strong

Love is louder than the pressure to be perfect.
Demi Lovato is an inspiration to me and hopefully to young girls everywhere. She has overcome an eating disorder and stress and got herself help and now she's back and better than ever. I'm glad that she got help for her eating disorder and it's a personal subject to me because I have a friend who has an eating disorder that she can't overcome and it hurts me that she's hurting herself. I wish she would get inspired by Demi Lovato and get herself some help.

Beyonce Giselle Knowles

Trust is really important, just in relationships in general. I really don't like people that aren't real people around me at all. I don't like people that are 'yes' people. I don't like people that tell me what they think I want to hear.
I like this quote from Beyonce because I think it is true and it's exactly the way I feel. You can't have a relationship without any trust. I like when Beyonce refers to people as 'yes' people. I've never heard of that until now, but now that I have, I realize that I don't like 'yes' people either. I don't like people who would rather sugar coat things.

Seventeen Body Peace Treaty (I vow to...)

http://www.seventeen.com/health/tips/body-peace-pledge
I signed this a few years ago and I do not regret it. I think every girl in the world should sign this.

Friends

True friends stab you in the front.
I don't know who the author of this quote is but I would gladly shake his or her hand. These days you never know who is true or not. For years I have dealed with people who I have thought were my friends but then I find out that I can't trust them. It's a terrible feeling and I would never wish it on anyone. I would rather hear the sad truth than a happy lie. I don't like liars and once you lose my trust, you'll never get it back. I think if you call yourself a friend yet you don't act like one then you should be ashamed of yourself. No one's perfect but I would rather have a friend who tells the harsh truth to my face then lies and says the truth behind my back.

My Favorite Disney Princesses

My favorite Disney princess are Mulan and Belle from Beauty and the Beast because Mulan was brave and went out and did something to save her father instead sitting around waiting for "Prince Charming." Belle was also brave and went to save her father but she also is a good example that looks aren't everything. I think Mulan teaches young girls to be brave and go for what they want and Belle teaches young girls that everyone is beautiful on the inside. Don't get me wrong, the other Disney Princesses are great too but they didn't show bravery or good morals as much as Mulan and Belle. Cinderella sat around and waited for Prince Charming to come rescue her and so did Sleeping Beauty.

A hearty laugh- the kind that sends a stream of tears from our eyes is extremely good for the heart.
I feel as if I can relate to this quote because I love to laugh and almost everything is funny to me. I've also heard that laughing makes you live longer. I believe it's better to laugh than to cry. If more people learned to laugh at themselves, no one would be able to bully them or make them feel inferior.

Karma

Your believing or not believing in karma has no effect on its existence, nor on its consequences to you. Just as a refusal to believe in the ocean would not prevent you from drowning. F. PAUL WILSON, The Tomb
I found this interesting because it makes a lot of sense. I personally believe in karma but for people that don't, it's not gonna make it any less real and that's what I think this quote means. I think the author of this quote is very wise and probably sees the world in a different way than most people.

Anger is in fact a form of positive energy and can be used as powerful motivating force towards achieving your goals
I found this quite interesting because usually people claim anger as a negaive energy but when I read this, I was like "oh!" Anger is not always a negative thing. Malcolm X for example used anger to get his points across.

The Wise Words of Justin Bieber

If you don't dream big, there's no use of dreaming. If you don't have faith, there's nothing worth believing.
I like this quote because it reminds everyone that they can achieve any dream whether it's big or small. Justin Bieber got discovered on youtube and now he's super successful so this means a lot coming from him. I feel like he is telling people to dream big and believe in themselves. If Justin can get discovered on youtube, so can anyone else.

Justin Bieber- Stuck in the Moment

I wish we had another time. I wish we had another place but everything we have is stuck in the moment and there's nothing my heart can do but fight with time and space 'cause I'm still stuck in the moment with you.
This song is called stuck in the moment by Justin Bieber. This is one of my favorite songs by him. I love this song because it's a beautiful song but I particularly love this part, which is the chorus, because it reminds me of wanting to be with someone but you can't because some reasons. Maybe their parents or friends don't approve. Who knows? But it's a great song.

Sisters

If you don't understand how a woman could both love her sister dearly and want to wring her neck at the same time, then you were probably an only child. ~Linda Sunshine
I found this quote funny because I believe it describes every sister relationship. I always fight with my sister but I will also defend her. We always fight but that's too bad for us because we are twins and we are stuck with eachother.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light -Albus Dumbledore.
I think this quote means that even if you are going through a tough time, don't beat yourself up about it. You can always find something positive in any situation. This quote relates to me because I try to find something positive in any negative situation because if I didn't, I would lose my temper more often and that wouldn't be good. If more people were like Albus Dumbledore, the world would be a happier place to be in.

Angel With a Shotgun

This song is called Angel With a Shotgun by The Cab. My meaning of the song is someone who will always protect you and love you even if it means they will get hurt. i love this song because the lyrics are deep and meaningful and if anyone has ever loved someone this way, they can relate to this song. My favorite line in the lyrics are:
They say before you start a war, you better know what you're fighting for. Well baby you are all that I adore. If love is what you need, a soldier I will be. [CHORUS] I'm an angel with a shotgun fighting 'till the wars won. I don't care if heaven won't take me back. I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe. Don't you know you're everything I have? And I wanna live not just survive tonight..
I like that part the most because it's a great way to say that you will always love someone. Also, girls are always complaining that all guys are jerks but since guys wrote this song, I believe it proves that not all guys are jerks. I personally don't believe someone would write such great lyrics if they didn't mean it.
