Her heart was an open book with beautiful pages and detailed lettering. She wanted people to read her story in hopes that it would make them write their own. Instead, every person who came across the pages of her heart ripped out their favorite story and took it with them. They folded back pages and bent up corners. They signed their name with sloppy writing and with a simple 'goodbye'. This book is now tucked away in the darkest parts of her, because no one wants to read a tragic story with a bad ending.

&quot;Close your eyes, and keep your mind wide open&quot; -Bridge to Terabithia<br /> &quot;If I&#039;ve learned anything, it&#039;s that my mascara isn&#039;t waterproof.&quot; -Sammie Jameston (Mascara Isn&#039;t Waterproof)<br /> &quot;When I say I love you. You say you don&#039;t deserve it. When I say I need you . You say I deserve someone better, When I say my life is better with you. You say I don&#039;t know any better. But when I kiss you, you say I love you, When I have to go, you say I need you. When I am with you, you know, that there is no better feeling then our love coming together and that is something we both deserve.&quot;
