Now or Never...

"Did you say it? 'I love you. I don't ever want to live without you. You changed my life.' Did you say it? Make a plan. Set a goal. Work toward it, but every now and then, look around; Drink it in 'cause this is it. It might all be gone tomorrow." - Meredith said

If tomorrow never comes

"A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. “Never leave that till tomorrow”, he said, “Which you could do today.” This is the man who discovered electricity. You’d think more of us would listen to what he had to say. I don’t know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I’d say it had a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure. Fear of pain. Fear of rejection. Sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you’re wrong? What if you make a mistake you can’t undo? Whatever it is we're afraid of, one thing holds true: that by the time the pain of not doing the thing gets worse than the fear of doing it. It can feel like we're carrying around a giant tumor. And you thought I was speaking metaphorically.[...] The early bird catches the worm; a stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we haven't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to ‘seize the day'. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves like Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying." - Meredith Grey

Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever

They Are Not You

Depois de ter estado uma tarde inteira a devorar vários episódios de One Tree Hill, houve um texto que ficou... se calhar porque tem tudo haver comigo ou não... mas ficou:

"Eu quero desenhar algo que signifique alguma coisa para alguém. Eu quero desenhar fé cega, ou um pálido verão ou apenas um momento de claridade. É como quando vês uma banda espectacular ao vivo pela primeira vez... e ninguém diz mas todos pensam o mesmo: "Nós temos algo para acreditar novamente". Eu quero desenhar esse sentimento. Mas eu não posso... e, se eu puder ser boa nisso, então eu não quero estragar tudo..."

Believe that...

"Mouth: Take a look at yourself in a mirror who do you see looking back?
Haley: Is it the person you want to be?
Dan: Or is there someone else you were meant to be the person you were meant to be but fell short of?
Mia: Is someone telling you you can’t or won’t? Because you can.
Chase: Believe that love is out there.
Nathan: Believe that dreams come true every day. Because they do.
Peyton: Sometimes happiness doesn’t come from money or fame or power. Sometimes happiness comes from good friends and family and the quiet nobility of leading a good life.
Julian: Believe that dreams come true every day. Because they do.
Brooke: Believe that dreams come true every day. Because they do.
Peyton: So take a look in that mirror and remind yourself to be happy because you deserve to be. Believe that.
Lucas: And believe that dreams come true every day. Because they do." (One Tree Hill)

Future...

“We spend our whole lives worrying about the future, planning for the future, trying to predict the future, as if figuring it out will cushion the blow. But the future is always changing. The future is the home of our deepest fears and wildest hopes. But one thing is certain when it finally reveals itself. The future is never the way we imagined it.” (by Meredith in Grey's Anatomy)

What a difference a day makes...

“You never know the biggest day of your life is the biggest day. Not until it’s happening. You don’t recognize the biggest day of your life, not until you’re right in the middle of it. The day you commit to something or someone. The day you get your heart broken. The day you meet your soul mate. The day you realize there’s not enough time, because you wanna live forever. Those are the biggest days. The perfect days. you know?” (by Izzie - grey's anatomy)

Change....

“...change. we don’t like it, we fear it …but we can’t stop it from coming, we either adapt to change or we get left behind. and it hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn’t is lying. but heres the truth, the more things change the more they stay the same. and sometimes, oh sometimes change is good. sometimes change is everything...” (by Grey's anatomy)

One tree hill - always and forever

"When I fell to the floor tonight, I was so scared, I was so terrified. Then I saw you, and I promised myself that if I could just get up, I'd walk over to you... I'd tell you how much I need you and how much I want you... and how nothing else matters." (Nathan Scott)

All These Things That I’ve Done

"O receio vem em tudo o que é forma e tamanho. Algumas são pequenas, quando fazemos algo ruim por uma boa razão. Algumas são grandes, como quando decepcionamos uma amiga. Alguns de nós fugimos da dor do receio, fazendo a escolha certa. Alguns de nós têm pouco tempo para o receio, pois estamos à espera do futuro. Algumas vezes temos que lutar para entrar de acordo com o que passou. E algumas vezes enterramos os nossos receios, prometendo mudanças. Mas os nossos maiores receios não são por coisas que fizemos. São pelas coisas que não conseguimos fazer. Coisas que não conseguimos dizer e que poderiam salvar alguém que gostamos." (One Tree Hill)

Heaven.. hell... limbo...

“heaven. hell. limbo. no-one even knows where we’re going. or what’s waiting for us when we get there. but the one thing we can say, with absolute certainty, is that there are moments that take us to another place. moments of heaven on earth. and maybe for now, that’s all we need to know.” (Denny - grey's anatomy)

The show must go on

Shekespeare escreveu uma vez: " Amor não é amor que se altera quando se encontra alteração ou uma marca rígida que aparece numa tempestade e nunca se abala. O Amor não se transforma de hora em hora. Mas surge...mesmo à beira da morte."
"Tree Hill é apenas um local em algum lugar do mundo, talvez seja bem parecido com o seu mundo, talvez não se pareça em nada. Mas se olhar de perto, poderá ver alguém como você. Alguém tentando encontrar o seu caminho, alguém tentando encontrar o seu lugar, alguém tentando encontrar-se a si mesmo. Às vezes é mais fácil sentir-se como se fosse o único no mundo que está a lutar, que está frustrado, insatisfeito, que mal está a conseguir. Esse sentimento é uma mentira. E se puder apenas aguentar, apenas encontrar a coragem para encarar tudo isso por mais um dia, alguém ou algo, irá encontrar-te e fazer com que tudo fique bem. Porque, às vezes, todos precisamos de um pouco de ajuda, alguém para nos ajudar a escutar a música do mundo, para nos lembrar que nem sempre será assim. Esse alguém está por aí. E esse alguém irá encontrar-te." Lucas Scoot

Recordações

“in some ways we grow up; we have families… we get married, divorced… but for the most part we still have the same problems that we did when we were fifteen. no matter how much we grow taller, grow older, we are still forever stumbling… forever wondering, forever… young.” (Grey's anatomy)

Fairy tales

“We all remember the bed time stories of our childhood. The shoe fit Cinderella, the frog was turned into a prince, sleeping beauty was awakened with a kiss. Once upon a time and then they lived happily ever after. Fairy tales. The stuff of dreams. The problem is, fairy tales don’t come true. It’s the other stories. The ones that start in dark and stormy nights and end in the unspeakable. The nightmares always seem to become the reality.” (grey's anatomy)

Nobody said it'd be easy....

“So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don’t, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.” (Grey’s Anatomy)
