Welcome to TXTXL!

Hey all! Sorry for not updating in awhile, school and work has been crazy as I'm sure most of you can relate. I'll be back to updating soon :) I found this little poem in one of my school books and really liked it and wanted to share it with you all.

Hope you enjoy it asmuch as I do!

In a veriety of ways, the mass media helped make us the critical schizophrnics we are today, women who rebel against yet submit to prevaling images about what a desirable worthwhile woman should be... We ambivalent toward feminitiy on the one hand and feminism on the other. Pulled in opposite directions, told we were equal yet told we were subordinate; told we could change history, but told we were trapped by history. When I open Vogue, for example, I am simultaneously infuriated and seduced. I adore the materialsim; I despise the materialism. I want to look beautiful; I think wanting to look beautiful is about the most dumb-ass goal you could have.

No does not mean never. It just means not yet.

A simple, "Good morning, beautiful,"
text could make any girl smile for
the whole day.
-truth.

I hate when people see me at the store & are like 
"hey what are you doing here?" I'm like "Oh 
you know, hunting elephants."

Stop thinking you need people - get it out of your head. Just live your life, beautifully. 
Make yourself happy because you're never promised that you'll find someone who can do that 
for you. & even if you do find that person - you could loose them. Stop depending on anyone 
else in your life to determine your happiness and start looking in the mirror at the most 
important one. Just be patient, & in time you'll come across someone that feels right - & without 
even knowing it you will have picked someone who compliments you, rather than trying to find 
someone who completes you.

The right guy isn't the one that 
flirts outrageously with you; 
he's the one that stands in the
background and catches you when you fall.

5
That awkward moment during an exam 
when you realize you need a calculator 
for problems like 3x4 or 6x5 ... due to stress.

6
Sometimes, by holding on too tight, 
you end up losing what you were 
trying so hard to save. 
Soap, for example.

It's always times like these when I think of you and I wonder if you ever think of me.

Don't get my personality and my attitude twisted,
because my personality is me, and my attitude depends on you.

You were so busy with whatever else you were doing that was more important than paying attention to me that 
you didn't notice I was fading. I was breaking. Right in front of you too, but you must've not had your 
eyes open. Why? Why did you give up? There's too many things to have hope for...to have faith in. What's the 
point of giving up? And did you notice that one night when I seriously considered throwing away my life? 
Did you? I guess you were too busy.

 

7
I've been thinking that maybe I think too much. I've been analyzing my behavior and I've realized 
that maybe I analyze things too much. I mean, I just want to find some meaning. Do you ever wonder 
why you wonder so much? Or do you dream about why you dream? Or do you hope about hopes that have 
long before been broken? And if you're broken, are the pieces automatically lost...or can you put 
yourself back together somehow?

8
You say you're looking for happiness, 
but when it comes you run away from it.
 You tell yourself you don't deserve it. 
There's not much more that I can do, 
now the rest is up to you. Until 
you love yourself, you'll never change.

Pain. You just have to ride it out, hope it goes 
away on its own, hope the wound that caused it 
heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers, 
you just breathe deep and wait for it to subside. 
Most of the time pain can be managed but sometimes
 the pain gets you where you least expect it. 
Hits way below the belt and doesn't let up. Pain, 
you just have to fight through, because the truth 
is you can't outrun it and life always makes more.

A good laugh and a long sleep are the
two best cures for anything

Fairy tales are all about putting the
ending in the right place. Things can't 
last forever, but that doesn't make them
 any less wonderful while they're happening.

Three rules in relationships: 
don't lie, don't cheat and don't make promises you can't keep.

  

15
I believe everything happens for a reason.
People change so you can learn to let them go.
Things go wrong so that you can appreciate them
when they are right. sometimes good things 
fall apart so better things can fall together.
- Marilyn Monroe 

16
not to spoil the ending for you, but everything is going to be okay

 

17
And I'm too tired to pretend it doesn't hurt. I had a pocketful 
of dreams but I gave them all to you. Now I think I want them back.

18
People lie and they tell you what you want to hear. 
That's how you end up falling in love with
the person you thought they were.

19

We all dream; we do not understand our dreams,
 yet we act as if nothing strange goes 
on in our sleep minds, strange at least by
 comparison with the logical, purposeful doings 
of our minds when we are awake.

If karma doesn't get to you soon, believe me, I will.

21
At some point you will realize that you have done
 too much for someone, that the only next 
possible step to do is to stop. Leave them alone. 
Walk away. It's not like you're giving 
up, and it's not like you shouldn't try. It's just
 that you have to draw the line of 
determination from desperation. What is truly 
yours will eventually be yours, and what is 
not, no matter how hard you try, will never be.

22
Go ahead and say it: 'I Love You'. You can say it a 
thousand times, but true love doesn’t need to be told.

I don’t understand how you can smile all day long, but cry yourself to sleep at night. How 
pictures never change, but the people in them do. How you can love so innocently, but it 
can turn into anger so quickly. How your best friend can become your worst enemy. Or when 
your worst enemy turns into your best friend. How forever turns into a few short months that 
you'd do almost anything to get back. How you can let go of something you once said you couldn’t 
live without. How even though you know letting go of something is best for you, it hurts just the 
same. How the people who once wanted to spend every second with you, think a few minutes of their 
time is too much time to spare. How people make promises, and bear their souls to someone despite 
knowing how common it is for promises to be broken. How people can erase you from their lives ‘cause 
it’s just easier then working things out.

torn between two, w h o w o u l d y o u c h o o s e: 
the one that you love or the one 
that loves you?

She's skinnier. She's funnier. 
She's prettier. Don't worry,
I wouldn't choose me either
