"And we don't know how we got into this mad situation
Only doing things out of frustration...

Trying to make it work but man these times are hard.

...and we don't know how how we got into this mess, is it God's test? Someone help us 'cause we're doing our best.

We're smiling but we're close to tears...

and we both now how, how we're going to make it work when it hurts, when you pick yourself up you get kicked to the dirt...

Oh, these times are hard, yeah, they're making us crazy,
Don't give up on me, baby"

random parts of "For the First Time" by The Script

"It is not the critic who counts, not the person who points out how the strong person stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the person who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spend themselves in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if they fail at least fail while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
-Theodore Roosevelt

i miss summer.

"but sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy endings we don't learn to read the signs. how to tell the ones who want us and the ones who don't, the ones who will stay and the ones who won't. and maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe...it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. maybe the happy ending is just moving on. or maybe the happy ending is this, knowing after all the unreturned phone calls, broken-hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarassment...you never gave up hope."
