hopeless romantic part 1 (new moon quotes)

I finally got my 'New Moon' back! I'd forgotten that i highlighted parts i really liked through out the book. I'm gonna put them here for easy access when i feel like reading them!

"Forbidden to remember, terrified to forget" pg 117

"It didn't feel like the pain had weakened over time, rather that I'd grown strong enough to bear it" pg 118

"Love didn't work that way, I decided. Once you cared about a person, it was impossible to be logical about them anymore" pg 304

"I felt like a peeping tom, peering through the cracks at a private sorrow that wasn't mine." pg 374

"I would have to commit to this-commit as much of me as there was left, every one of the broken pieces. It was the only way to be fair to him. Would I? Could I?" pg 375

"Even if the love I felt for him was no more than a weak echo of what I was capable of, even if my heart was far away, wandering and grieving after my fickle Romeo, would it be so very wrong?" pg 375

"Not like someone...left her, but like someone died." His voice cracked. It was like someone had died-like I had died. Because it had been more than just losing the truest of true loves, as if that were not enough to kill anyone. It was also loosing a whole future, a whole family-the whole life that I'd chosen.." pg 398

"You're impossible," he said, and he laughed once - a hard laugh, frustrated. "How can I put this so that you'll believe me? You're not asleep, and you're not dead. I'm here, and I love you. I have always loved you, and I will always love you. I was thinking of you you, seeing your face in my mind, every second that I was away." pg 510

"...When I told you that I didn't want you, it was the very blackest kind of blasphemy." pg 510

"Why can you believe the lie, but not the truth?" pg 511

"The fairy tale was back on. Prince returned, bad spell broken. I wasn't sure exactly what to do about the leftover, unresolved character. Where was his happily ever after? pg 550

"I squared my shoulders and walked forward to meet my fate, with my destiny solidly at my side" pg 563


BUUU-YAAAAAA!

i love stephenie meyer books.

"My dearest Allie"

"My dearest Allie
i couldn't sleep last night because i know that its over between us. I'm not bitter anymore because i know that what we had was real and if in some distance place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more. That plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds and that's what you've given me. That's what I'd hoped to give to you forever.
I love you, ill be seeing you,
Noah."

Ugh. These kind of things make my heart melt. Confessions of love. They're the best. I have recently made a playlist on my youtube account with clips i love from all the mushy love moments in movies.

Im such a loser.

power of a smile

Today was pretty super. Hung out with my buddy Charles after school. We drove around and he took me to DQ. Yummy-Yummy. I also loved the conversations we had. I love deep conversations. When you can totally just say what you're thinking and know the other person wont judge you or anything. Good conversations come from those scenarios.

UM, UM what else happened today?
Well I think I'm starting to move on from my...confusion on the Holocaust. For awhile I've been so stuck on the fact that all the Jewish ppl who were killed, who were persecuted for their faith, are going to hell based on my beliefs. What I believe says that all those ppl, who I'm thinking we could classify as martyrs are going to hell. Thats been heavy on my heart for awhile. Especially since we had a survivor of the holocaust come to our school the other day to tell her story.

Today I asked myself, 'Well why do I feel so sad about this situation? What about EVERYONE ELSE in the world who dies without knowing God? Without knowing Jesus?" I mean, the holocaust was a horrible thing. Terrible. Even more so because alot of people justified the persecution of the Jews because they blamed them for the death of Jesus.

Christians killing in the name of Jesus.

How messed up is that?
How unbelievably twisted?


I was talking about this with a friend and she said how maybe the Holocaust was God way of telling the people to start accepting Jesus because he promised all this stuff to them but by rejecting Jesus he couldn’t give it to them... i dunno.. it still seems cruel.

On a lighter note. I found a poem I love that i had forgotten about but now have found!

The power of a smile by Tupac

The power of a gun can kill,

And the power of fire can burn,

The power of wind can chill

And the power of the mind can learn

The power of anger can rage inside,

Until it tears you apart,
But the power of smile, especially yours,

Can heal a frozen heart.
