You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best of it or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things that you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. And if you find you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt; Curious Case of Benjamin Button&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://getlara.tumblr.com/post/245075633</link><guid>http://getlara.tumblr.com/post/245075633</guid><pubDate>Sun, 15 Nov 2009 11:46:33 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>"Life is already complicated as it is.

There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that’s just fabulous.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Carrie Bradshaw, Sex And The City&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://getlara.tumblr.com/post/221286489</link><guid>http://getlara.tumblr.com/post/221286489</guid><pubDate>Fri, 23 Oct 2009 15:42:04 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>"That night I started to think about belief.

Maybe pessimism is something we have to start applying daily, like moisturizer.

Who are your friends? I used to think that friends were the people that you could laugh and talk to. Now I know that friends aren’t that, they’re the people that touch your heart. You could spend hours with them doing nothing at all and it can be the best time of your life, just because it was with them. They’re the people you can share your secrets with, cry with, laugh with, and just have fun with. They don’t judge you or make you change. They accept you exactly as you are. They look at you and they see a great person, one they love spending time with. You all share something in common and are tied together by memories, tears, laughs and smiles. You’re tied together by love for the other. Friendship is one of the greatest things in the world. I find my time with my friends, the best times of my life. My friends are my heart, my soul, my fun, my laughter, tears, love and my life”</description><link>http://getlara.tumblr.com/post/220178790</link><guid>http://getlara.tumblr.com/post/220178790</guid><pubDate>Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:38:04 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>"I’ve had a couple of people betray me.

I’m not a person who believes in holding grudges, but if one of my best friends did something really terrible to me, it would be very hard to ever really trust her again. What would stop her from doing something like that again? It’s not like that person just changes and suddenly becomes different.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Lauren Conrad&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://getlara.tumblr.com/post/220176553</link><guid>http://getlara.tumblr.com/post/220176553</guid><pubDate>Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:34:40 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>"Everyone has the heartbreak that shapes them in a way that they could never go back to the innocence..."</title><description>“Everyone has the heartbreak that shapes them in a way that they could never go back to the innocence that they had before.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Zooey Deschanel&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://getlara.tumblr.com/post/220176044</link><guid>http://getlara.tumblr.com/post/220176044</guid><pubDate>Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:33:53 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>"A man who wants to make a relationship work will move mountains to keep the woman he loves.

If he’s not calling you to tell you he loves you and wants you back, it should only be because he’s showing up at your new residence to do it in person. If he’s not doing any of that, he may love you, he may miss you, but ultimately he’s just not that into you. Stop taking his calls and let him know what it’s like to live without you.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;He’s Just Not That Into You&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://getlara.tumblr.com/post/220175146</link><guid>http://getlara.tumblr.com/post/220175146</guid><pubDate>Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:32:33 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>"when i look in the mirror, i see a girl who’s been through so much, and yet, still finds a way to..."</title><description>“when i look in the mirror, i see a girl who’s been through so much, and yet, still finds a way to smile at the past. she still loves with all her heart, or what’s left of it. and when you see her walking in the hallway i can guarantee you she’ll have her head up high, faking a smile just one more time. and for all those people who try to break her, trust me; you never will.”</description><link>http://getlara.tumblr.com/post/218024268</link><guid>http://getlara.tumblr.com/post/218024268</guid><pubDate>Tue, 20 Oct 2009 04:23:08 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>"Life doesn’t give you the people you want.

Sometimes you really can find that one person who will stand by you no matter what. Maybe you’ll find it in a spouse and celebrate it with your dream wedding. But there’s also the chance that the person you can count on for a lifetime—the person who knows you sometimes better than you know yourself—is the same person who’s been standing beside you all along.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;     Bride Wars&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://getlara.tumblr.com/post/210497034</link><guid>http://getlara.tumblr.com/post/210497034</guid><pubDate>Sun, 11 Oct 2009 16:23:17 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>"Too often going after what feels good means letting of what you know is right.

And letting someone in means abandoning the walls you took so long to build. Of course, the toughest sacrifices are the ones we don’t see coming; when we don’t have time to come up with a strategy, pick a side, or measure the potential loss. When that happens, when the battle chooses us and not the other way around, that’s when the sacrifice becomes more than we can bear.”</description><link>http://getlara.tumblr.com/post/200374350</link><guid>http://getlara.tumblr.com/post/200374350</guid><pubDate>Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:24:52 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>"You know what I think hurts the most?

It’s like no matter what you did, it wasn’t enough. And no matter what you do to try and capture their heart again, doesn’t seem to work. And you’re suddenly left thinking that you’ll never be enough. And a sudden sadness captures your heart that never really leaves.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;(via &lt;a href="http://raindropsonredroses.tumblr.com/"&gt;raindropsonredroses&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://getlara.tumblr.com/post/200372844</link><guid>http://getlara.tumblr.com/post/200372844</guid><pubDate>Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:22:50 -0700</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
