"I will make trophies if their spines."

Lokrow wrote: "May I post too?"

Sure. :)

Who are these quotes from, I might use them in my book?

The first and last posted by me was created by me, the middle ones were created by a blogger and I'm not sure about Lokrow's. You can't use the first, unfortunately, I'm planning on using it myself, sorry.

❝Yes, I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by the moonlight and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.❞

- Oscar Wilde, The Critic As Artist

"If you live to a hundred days,
I wish to live to a hundred days minus one
Because I don't want to live a day without you."

-Winnie the Pooh

Who is queen Alison?

Oh, Queen Alison is a character of mine inspired by the movie Frozen. You can just ignore that last part there.

All the 'quotes' where I don't precise who said it are from me. ./\."

They have the quotes on it, Lokrow. Sorry. I'll type them out...

Lokrow wrote: "Yes, please :)"

Can you see the texts above the pictures now?

Good. :)

"Everything you want is on the other side of fear."

“Breathe, my friend. You are not old, you are young. You are not a mess, you are normal. Extraordinary, perhaps. In the blink of an eye, your life will change. And it will continue to change for decades to come. Enjoy it, embrace it...be grateful for the ride. You are not old, you are young. And faith will get you everywhere. Just you wait.”

-Abby Larson

“It takes a great deal of courage to see the world in all its tainted glory and still love it.”

Lol. Love the quote from Alessia.

❝It's the one you've been dreaming of.❞

❝Fire cannot kill a dragon.❞

-Daenerys Targaryen

❝Everyone here has to bury someone they love.❞
❝I don't intend to bury her, she's not dead.❞

-Angelfall

❝Little did you know, that when your best friend tells you they're fine, they're sitting on their own, rocking back and fourth, with death on their mind, tears streaming down their face, and the only thing that keeps them there, is you.❞

❝Can I still get in,

or will they send me to Hell?

Can I still get into Heaven,

if I kill myself?❞

❝How does one destroy a monster without being one?❞

Lokrow wrote: "(Btw, the 'little do you know' one is really accurate!! Bravo!)"

(Heheh, the credit doesn't really go to me, I found the quote on the internet.)

{Yeah, I'm going to mold all these quotes into one person and have that fictional character narrate your life in a story. xP}

❝You can't see that I'm hurting.

You don't notice the pain.

It feels like everyone else is sitting in the sunshine,

while I drown in the rain.❞

{You could use all these quotes for it, you know! I love novels like that! (Like the one I'm reading now.)}

Lokrow wrote: "(Let me guess... TFIOS?)"

{Read that one already. It wasn't exactly as sad, but cool too. I'm reading Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock. A story of a teenage boy about to kill his best friend and then later himself. ❝Tʜᴇ ᴋᴇʏ ɪs ᴅᴏɪɴɢ sᴏᴍᴇᴛʜɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴀᴛ sᴇᴛs ʏᴏᴜ ᴀᴘᴀʀᴛ﹐ ғᴏʀᴇᴠᴇʀ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍɪɴᴅs ᴏғ ʀᴇɢᴜʟᴀʀ ᴘᴇᴏᴘʟᴇ. Sᴏᴍᴇᴛʜɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴍᴀᴛᴛᴇʀs.❞}

Lokrow wrote: "(Proofread express! 'Your* reaction ;))"

{Missed that 'r', haha, sorry.}

{The story isn't really about the boy killing his best friend, but more of the four gifts he's going to give his four true best friends--a Humphrey-Bogart-obsessed neighbour, a teenage violin virtuoso, a pastor's daughter and a teacher. According to one of my favorite reviewers, it's dark.}

❝Dᴀʏᴅʀᴇᴀᴍs ᴡᴇʀᴇ ᴅᴀɴɢᴇʀᴏᴜs﹐ ʙᴇᴄᴀᴜsᴇ ᴛʜᴇʏ ᴍᴀᴅᴇ ʜᴇʀ ᴅʀᴇᴀᴍ ᴏғ ᴛʜɪɴɢs sʜᴇ ᴄᴏᴜʟᴅ ɴᴇᴠᴇʀ ʜᴀᴠᴇ.❞

❝Months came,
and months went.
I felt exhuasted, tired, sad.
It was like I was suffocating,
like I couldn't breathe,
like the walls were caving in on me.
I was giving up.
And I'm sorry,
Because I gave up on everyone else as well.

I miss myself.
I miss smiling.
I miss being happy.
I miss loving you.
I miss loving life.
I miss loving anything that isn't sleep

And,
most of all,

I miss being me.❞

❝Living with depression is like watching people around you breathing, but instead, your blue lips inhale words of self-hatred and you know you should be able to fill your lungs with fresh oxygen like everyone else,

but you can't.

And the worst part is that people mistake your chest frantically rising up and down as breathing, when you're actually

suffocating.❞

❝You,
just like everyone else I've met,
misunderstand depression.
You think it's about being sad.
You think it's when you feel down.

But it's not.

It's like a darkness that
creeps over you
and fills you.
It drains all your emotions.
And leaves you feeling hollow and numb.
It's not anger,
it's not sadness.

It's hopelessness.

Imagine waking up and there being no color,
imagine walking outside and hearing no sound,
eating a meal and tasting nothing,
holding someone and feeling completely alone at the same time.

That's depression.

When you're depressed,
it's not a bad mood.
It's a numb, empty, hollowness
that seems to never leave.
It threatens to take over you and your life
every time you breathe,
every time you fake a smile,
or hold back confessions.
Depression makes you feel completely alone in a room full of people.

It makes you think that there's no hope left.❞

{I'm not sure it is, though. I don't think I've ever been depressed, that's actually based on what somebody else said about depression. http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736...}

❝The pain may fade, but the scars serve as a reminder of the suffering and make the bearer all the more resolved never to be wounded again.❞

❝What screws us up the most in life is the picture in our head of what it's supposed to be.❞

❝I'd love to tell you that tomorrow will get even better and your life will take a turn for the best, but then I'd be lying. Because I've been through so many tomorrows, and nothing has changed.❞

❝Sometimes, I suppose I'm happy.
Like when I'm with my friends,
throwing my head back and covering my mouth
as I shake with laughter at a joke someone just made.

But then day turns to night
and my carefree grin turns into unexplainable sadness,
etched on my face like a tattoo.
And I lay in bed,
thinking about all the things I wish I could say
- all the things I'm too afraid to admit,
even with only pen, paper and mind.

It's nights like these when I realise:
I am many things.
I am happy and sad,
outgoing and shy,
rambunctious and quiet.

But mostly,
I'm just empty.❞

❝You were a chapter in my book and I was merely a line in yours.❞

❝Maybe she laughs,

and maybe she cries.

And maybe you'd be surprised

at everything she hides inside.❞

❝I fall too fast,

crash too hard,

forgive too easily,

and care too much.❞

❝Don't promise when you're happy,
don't reply when you're angry,
and don't decide when you're sad.❞

❝What's the scariest part?

The scariest part isn't
feeling the loneliness
or the darkness that fills me,
despite the looming pain of emptiness.

The scariest part is the realisation that
I've completely lost myself,
sinking in as I lay awake at 2 AM
because I've lost the ability to sleep.
And I don't even cry
because I'm too far gone

to even care.❞

❝Build. Destroy. Rebuild. I have mastered the art of bouncing back. Now it's time to master the art of having not to.❞

❝There are two gifts we should give our children: one is roots, and the other is wings.❞

❝Hangman is a meaningful game, I guess. It teaches you a valuable life lesson - like how saying the wrong things could end someone's life.❞

❝Cruelty does not make a person dishonest.

The same way bravery does not make a person kind.❞

❝It's you and me,
in this Dreamland forever.

Where I never have to worry
about losing you ever.

Where we could stand,
side by side.

Where I could become
your beautiful bride.

A place where your heart
would belong to me.

This Dreamland holds everything
I wish to see.❞
