I Believe

I believe in being happy and laughing until you cant breathe
I believe in crying your heart out
because sometimes you just need to
I believe in love
I believe its one of the most wonderful
and awful things that can happen to a person
I believe that everything happens for a reason
and no matter what, everything will turn out okay
I believe in pain
I believe that every break and bend along the way
is only there to make you a better person
and that you need to take something out of every lesson
life gives you
I believe in heartache and that first loves never really disappear,
they just hide, and you don't remember what it was like
I believe in trying your hardest for everything you want
I believe in confidence cause without it you're really nothing
I believe in those days where all you
want to do is lay in bed and watch Grey’s Anatomy
(which I also believe is the cure for everything)
I believe in missing someone
I believe that sometimes song lyrics
are the key to everything you feel
and that music is one of the greatest things on the planet
I believe in singing and dancing and having so much fun
you feel like you'll explode
I believe in passion and chemistry.
I believe in having regrets
there's always that one thing in life
you wish you never did
and wish you could rewind and start over
I believe in the past
I believe you need to learn from it
and you need to remember it
I believe you need to remember people faces and names,
the ones who loved you, the ones you loved,
the ones you never really liked, the ones who hurt you,
and the ones you never really knew,
but they always were nice to you
I believe in compliments and making other people feel good
I believe in being completely retarded with your friends
and cherishing every second of it
because you never know when the next time you see them will be
I believe in notes between classes,
and texts just to say goodnight
I believe in feeling like your heart is going to burst
I believe in Midol, Advil, Nyquil, Dayquil
I believe in hot hot hot showers
and kisses on the forehead
I believe in working hard and running hard
I believe you need to have those days where you're not happy
because it makes you grateful
for the days when everything’s back to normal
I believe that boys are stupid
“BUT THEY MAKE THE BEST FRIENDS.”
I believe in sleeping in and staying up
and procrastinating
I believe that everyone has those few friends
that will stab you in the back in two seconds
but it makes you appreciate the true ones
who are there to write you notes when you're heartbroken
and call your ex boyfriend Gay.
I believe in honesty,
and that it may hurt sometimes
but it'll save the person from more hurt down the road
I believe in the future.
I believe in college and the lives we're all waiting to start
I believe in Fate and Serendipity
I believe that there are still good people
I believe in God
I believe goodbyes should never be easy
I believe in being your own bestfriend
I believe family is a priority
I believe a lot.
