El cielo no es el lugar al que vas cuando mueres, es ese momento en la vida cuando te sientes realmente vivo.

Antes del accidente se podría decir que mi existencia era bastante normal. Vivia con mi familia, pololeaba y estudiaba la carrera que había escogido. Mis máximas preocupaciones eran la prueba de la proxima semana o tonteras así. Tenia muchos planes, era feliz. Es increible como de pronto, en un segundo, todo cambia. Los noticieros muestran tragedias horribles y, aunque nos afectan, nunca pensamos que nos pueden ocurrir a nosotros. ¿Por qué creemos que somos una especie de seres invulnerables?.
Mi vida ahora es muy distinta. Muy diferente a lo que hubiese imaginado para mi. Pero he aprendido algo muy importante: no porque sea distinta significa que sea mala. No porque en nuestra vida acontezca algo terrible significa que en nuestro futuro no volverán a haber alegrías.

La vida será lo que tu quieras hacer de ella.

Todos tienen problemas, la manera en que los manejas es lo que te separa de los demás.

everyone has problems its how you deal with them that seperates you from everyone else.

Life isn't about how many people call you and it's not about who you've dated, are dating, or haven't dated at all. It's not about grades, money, clothes, or colleges that accept you or not. Life isn't about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone, and it's not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. Life just isn't about that. But life is about who you love and who you hurt. It's about how you feel about yourself. It's about trust, happiness, and compassion. It's about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance, and building confidence. It's about what you say and what you mean. It's about seeing people for who they are and not for what they have. Most of all, it is about living your life to touch someone else's.

Entonces, creo que somos lo que somos por muchas razones. Y quizás nunca sepamos la mayoría de ellas. Pero incluso si no tenemos el poder de elegir de donde venimos, aun podemos decidir a donde queremos ir. Aun podemos hacer cosas.

So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things.

Quizás algunas personas no fueron hechas para estar en tu vida para siempre, quizás algunos sólo vienen a enseñarnos una lección.


Maybe some people aren't meant to be in our lives forever. Maybe some are just passing through to teach us a lesson

En la amistad no importa por cuanto tiempo se conocen o cuantas peleas han tenido. Lo que importa es quien dijo “estaré ahí para ti” y quien lo comprobó.

With friendship it doesn't matter how long you've known each other, or how many fights you got into. what matters is who said "I'll be there for you" and who proved it.

La razón de que tanta gente encuentre tan difícil ser feliz es que siempre ven el pasado mejor de lo que fue, el presente peor de lo que es y el futuro menos resuelto de lo que será.


The reason so many people find it so hard to be happy is that they will always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.

Si quieres que tu vida sea una historia magnifica, entonces comienza por darte cuenta que tu eres el autor y todos los días tienes la oportunidad de escribir una pagina nueva.


If you want your life to be a magnificent story, then begin by realizing that you are the author and everyday you have the opportunity to write a new page.

Where did we get the idea that being pretty and skinny is gonna make us happy? Where did we get the idea that the more guys that want us = the happier we'll be? Because it's not true. None of that is true. If anything ... I'm less. I really miss the days when none of that mattered to me. I miss the days when I didn't freak out over a zit. I want to go back to the days when I didn't worry about how many calories were in that slice of pizza I just ate. The days when I didn't even care if that cute boy in my English class noticed me or not. Yeah, I wanna go back to those days ... when I truly was happy and care-free.

My friend, if I could give you one thing I would wish for you the ability to see yourself as others see you, then you would realize what a truly special person you are

Conviertete en tu propia Buffi, combate tus demonios.

Es increible cuando dos extraños se convierten en los mejores amigos, pero es realmente triste cuando los mejores amigos se convierten en dos extraños.

It's really amazing when two strangers become the best of friends, but it's really sad when the best of friends become two strangers

A veces me siento tan invisible como si nadie pudiera verme

Esta vida es lo que haces de ella. No importa que, a veces vas a arruinar las cosas, es una verdad universal. Pero la parte buena es que puedes decidir como la vas a arruinar.
Las chicas serán tus amigas (actuarán como si lo fueran. Pero recuerda, algunas vienen, otras se van. Las que se quedan contigo a pesar de todo) ellas son tus verdaderas mejores amigas. No las dejes ir. También recuerda, las hermanas son las mejores amigas en el mundo.
En cuanto a amantes, bueno, ellos también vienen y van. Y cariño, odio decirlo, pero la mayoría de ellos (en realidad casi todos) van a romperte el corazón, pero no puedes rendirte porque si lo haces, nunca encontrarás a tu alma gemela. Nunca encontrarás esa mitad que te hace sentir completa y que va a por todo. Sólo porque fallaste una vez no significa que vas a fallar en todo. Sigue intentándolo, resiste y siempre, siempre, siempre, cree en ti misma, porque si no lo haces, ¿entonces quien, cariño? Así que mantén tu cabeza en alto, mantén la barbilla elevada y lo más importante de todo, sigue sonriendo, porque la vida es una cosa hermosa y hay mucho por lo que sonreír.

This life is what you make it. No matter what, you’re going to mess up sometimes, it’s a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you’re going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends – they’ll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything – they’re your true best friends. Don’t let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they’ll come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, most of them – actually pretty much all of them- are going to break your heart, but you can’t give up because if you give up, you’ll never find your soul mate. You’ll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don’t, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life’s a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.

La gente comenzó a decir que yo era lesbiana. Sonreí. No hay sexo incorrecto si hay amor en él.

Dear Me,

You need to get over yourself. You need to let go of the past, because its literally, and figuratively killing you. You told yourself that you'd never let your emotions get to you, and you were wrong.

Look at yourself in the mirror and pretend that you like whats there.

You wake up every day with a headache, so you take a drink to ease the pain. You get to the kitchen and realize that you're now an alcoholic - congratulations. Your cell phone rings, and you get excited - until you see that its just your calendar, reminding you that today marks 200 days of being stupid and foolish. You read the note your roommate has left you, and you throw it away anyway, because it doesnt really matter.

You're stuck, and its all because you can't let go.

You're stuck, and its all your fault.

You're stuck, and you're not going to solve it like this.

Every day, you try to justify your existence. Every day, you get up, and work, and get home, and start a fist fight. Every day, you wake up with bruises and black eyes, and sore wrists, because you are trying to numb the pain deep on the inside.

What have you become? Look in the mirror - do you like whats there?

I miss the old us. I miss the us that was fine to be left alone for weeks at a time - hidden in a mass of video games and new comics. I miss the us that wasn't dependent on another person. I miss the us that wasn't moping, and sad, and angry. I miss just being us.

So, keep that in mind the next time you look in the mirror. That now, you've got yourself to worry about. The real you.

From,
You

I don’t know how they do it. I don’t know how anybody does it, waking up every morning and eating and moving from the bus to the assembly line, where the teacherbots inject us with Subject A and Subject B, and passing every test they give us. Our parents provide the list of ingredients and remind us to make healthy choices: one sport, two clubs, one artistic goal, community service, no grades below a B, because really, nobody’s average, not around here. It’s a dance with complicated footwork and a changing tempo.
I’m the girl who trips on the dance floor and can’t find her way to the exit. All eyes on me.
