I got this from my Tumblr. And I know it's worth sharing.
The greatest relationships are the ones you never expected to be in. The ones that swept you off your feet and challenged your ever view. The ones where you found yourself to be a better person because of who you were when he was around. The ones that made you wake up with a smile on your face no matter how corny it was. The ones that made everything right when it was wrong. the ones that caused you physical pain to leave because leaving meant losing a part of yourself.
The greatest relationships are the ones you’ll always remember not because of their length, but because of who you were with. The ones where the memories make you want to laugh when you’re crying. The ones that make you believe that god exists, because no one else could have created someone so amazing. The ones that cause you to change for the better, even if you don’t realize it. the ones where you know you’re being honest with yourself, so much it hurts.
The greatest relationships are the ones where he called you lame and you just rolled your eyes because you knew he was kidding. The ones where you were comfortable around him because you knew he’d love you no matter what. The ones where love seemed to be the only answer. The ones that made you compromise because it was something you knew you wanted to last. The ones where you accepted what he did because you just wanted to see him happy.
The greatest relationships are the ones that changed your life. The ones that made you rethink your future because you knew it’d be better with him. The ones where you felt like your forever had finally appeared. The ones that made you question the ending. The ones that told you to push through the problems because eventually it would be better again. The ones where you broke your heart and his for his good, even when you couldn’t explain without breaking a rule.
The greatest relationships are the ones where you care more about his happiness then you do about your own. The ones where you do what you do for his future, even if it means wrecking your present. The ones where you tell yourself to walk in the opposite direction, because you know there are just some things you can’t do. The ones when you cry not because it’s over, but because you know you lost not only him, but your best friend too.
The greatest relationships are the ones where you’ll thank him for being a part of your life, no matter how short. The ones where you’ll never forget him because he helped shape your view on love. The ones where you’ll always be there for him, whether or not he’ll accept that. The ones where he put up with your crap when he didn’t have to. The ones where your last tribute to him was doing something he never thought you’d do - and loving it.
The greatest relationships are the ones where you’ll always love him, even when he’s forgotten all about you. The ones where you’re changed forever because of him. The ones that you will always smile about because while they were flawed, they were still amazing. The ones where you fought what you knew was going to happen because you couldn’t quite come to terms with losing him. the ones that remind your love lost is better than never having loved at all.

Guys can be your BFF's too.
When did girls figure out guys have great friend potential? There always have been, and always will be, girls who know the value of friendships with boys. These girls aren't tomboys or girl-hatin' or pulling that "friends with benefits" thing, secretly making out in clandestine locations. They are girls just like you who simply don't see boys as romance-only options. Guys are made for hangin' out and are all special in their own ways.
A guy friend is your personal concierge into the Minds of Men. Why are guys so into video games--is World of Warcraft really that amazing? How come the cute guy in the bar doesn't care if he has a gross crusty in the corner of his mouth? Does your crush realize that, even though he tikes you back, waiting until the next millenium to call you just isn't cool? A guy friend makes all these boy mysteries (and so much more) oh-so crystal clear.
A guy friend is also as much fun as your girl best friend, except better since what he lacks is mindless drama. Because guess what--he honestly doesn't give a hoot what you look like since he's not looking. (LOL) Call the fashion police because you wore an apricot tee with plum capris? Oh, puh-lease! He serves up a mini-break from the sticky side of girlness. He'll hang out, order chili on your shared French fries, maybe even go sneaker shopping. He's a blast, and he just happens to be a guy.
As for myself, I've never felt lucky having guy friends who's willing to answer their phones 24/7 when you needed someone to talk to. Except of course, when they're on a date or with the girlfriend. Hahaha. You are last in their priority list but still be the first one to be there when you feel sad. Guy friends just know (mental telepathy) when you need rescuing. They will let you drink and have fun until you drop but will never let any other guy bring you home except him. They will listen to your problems, will try to be all ears even if it's boring them to death.
It's great to have guy friends, as long as you don't cross the thin thin line to romance. But if it happens, he feels the same way, and you're both not committed. Best friends, I think will make an excellent couple too. :)
Imperfect.
Sometimes, I say the wrong things. Sometimes, I don’t do things that I should. Sometimes, I fail to keep my promises. Sometimes, I forget about important things. Sometimes, my hair and makeup don’t look the best. Sometimes, I get frustrated. Sometimes, I can be paranoid. Sometimes, I’ll say things I don’t mean. I’m not perfect. I can accept that. Why can’t you?
She Loves You. Ofcourse, She Loves You
“If she loves you, if she really loves you, you’ll know it. If you can wake up to her staring at you and it’s not even mildly creepy, if you catch her smelling the shoulder of the hooded sweatshirt you lent her for an autumn walk at the beach, if she makes you a pancake in the shape of a shark, if she calls you drunkenly at four in the morning “to talk,” if she laughs at your jokes when they’re funny and makes fun of you when they’re not, if she keeps her fridge stocked with Guinness tallboys for when you come over, if she tells you how she wishes she were closer to her sister and that her dad makes her sad: She loves you, of course she loves you.”
Unrequited Love
There’s another kind of love, the cruelest kind, the one that almost kills its victims. It’s called unrequited love. Of that, I am an expert. Most love stories are about people who fall in love with each other, but what about the rest of us? What about our stories, those of us who fall in love alone. We are the victims of the one-sided affair. We are the cursed of the loved ones. We are the unloved ones, the walking wounded, the handicapped without the advantage of a great parking space. Yes, you are looking at one such individual and I have willingly loved that man for over three miserable years, the absolute worst years of my life. The worst Christmases, the worst birthdays. New Year’s Eves brought in by tears and Valium. These years that I’ve been in love have been the darkest days of my life, all because I’ve been cursed by being in love with a man who does not and will not love me back. Just the sight of him. Heart pounding, throat thickening, absolutely can’t swallow. All the usual symptoms.

10 Reasons Why Men Prefer Bitchy Women ;p
You've heard that nice guys finish last, but what about nice girls? In this excerpt from her book Why Men Marry Bitches, author Sherry Argov reveals why men actually prefer a confident, secure woman (Argov's definition of the word bitch) to one who lets her man take the reins in a relationship. She surveyed real men, who spilled exactly what makes or breaks their opinion of the women they meet — and it turns out that having your own life, making your own plans and not letting him win all the time only makes you more attractive. So who says being a "bitch" is a bad thing? Not these guys! Here's what they had to say:
1. "The worst thing a woman can do is see a guy every night of the week. That's how she becomes his good-time girl on his 'reserve list.' What will happen is, the guy will start coming over at nine o'clock and then he'll leave by ten-thirty. If he gets access or what he wants from her anytime he wants it, he won't have to lift a finger to keep it going."
2. "Men are competitive. When he buys a car that is a limited-edition model, he feels like he has something special. Guys in the street who race cars usually race for pink slips, because they want to win, conquer and take the other vehicle. That carries over to women. A woman who is easy won't scratch his competitive itch. When she stops expressing her opinion and starts agreeing with everything he says, that's usually when a man starts to feel bored."
3. "A woman should never go looking for him or chase him down at three different places where he said he might be having a drink. If he says, 'Either I'll be at the Cheesecake Factory or some bar on 26th,' don't try to track him down. If you want to be his 'steady,' let him come track you down."
4. "My fiancée was the first woman to put me in my place. She constantly reminds me, 'Hey, nobody's forcing you to stay.' If I tried to BS my way out of a situation, she'd say, 'Let me save you the time and energy. Don't give me that s**t, because I ain't buying it.' I know if she caught me cheating she'd smack me over the head with a frying pan. And I respect her more than any woman I've ever known."
5. "If he can sum you up in one sentence, he'll be bored."
6. "Confidence is when you don't try to interpret or overly process everything that you are observing out loud. It prevents the relationship from progressing on a normal course. For example, every time I gave this woman flowers, she would remind me that her ex stopped bringing her flowers. What she really wanted to ask was whether I'd keep doing it in the future. That made me feel like she didn't really enjoy the flowers or appreciate the present moment with me."
7. "A woman shouldn't say, 'You don't call me enough,' or, 'You never tell me you love me.' As a woman, your best asset is to be unpredictable. He should never be able to figure you out. When he can always predict what you are going to do next, you've lost him as a long-term partner. He'll look for someone else whom he can't understand or control."
8. "If she feels strongly about something, she'll have a backbone. This woman is the woman he respects. Not a 'melba toast' cracker that crumbles with very little pressure."
9. "You have to seem like you aren't giving yourself fully. 'Here I am. Take me.' Men want to be kept guessing. Think about it. When a guy picks out a movie, he wants to be on the edge of his seat from the very beginning. If someone doesn't lose a limb or get shot and buildings aren't blown up all within the first 20 minutes, he'll think he got cheated out of 20 bucks."
10. "A woman shouldn't even crack a joke about marriage. I was on a second date with a girl, and we are both from Ireland. Back home we have a saying, 'If you kiss me you are going to have to marry me.' If you have the desire to get married, never let a man know that up front. If you do, it's the same as handing him a manual and telling him exactly how to dangle a carrot and play on your weaknesses."

An Open Letter to My Dearest Sister, Miki. :D
A sisterly relationship is a very unique one. The screaming rows alongside fierce loyalty; the utter annoyingness next to being a great confidante; the way they just don’t get you then seem to be the only one who understands. A sister can be your best friend and worst enemy all at the same time, but unlike with a friend, you can’t get rid of them after an unholy argument. Which makes that special bond even stronger once you have a good cry, dig out the chocolates and soppy film and start gossiping about who did what with whom.Of the many relationships in a woman's life, the bond between sisters is unique, stretching and bending through periods of closeness and distance, but almost never breaking. Sisters are girlfriends, rivals, listening posts, shopping buddies, confidantes, and so much more.Some sisters never move beyond childhood rivalry. Most, however, develop an affectionate attachment that becomes a critical support system in their middle and later years. Sisters are probably the most competitive relationship within the family, but once sisters are grown, it becomes the strongest. You can tell your sister to go to hell in twelve different languages and if you need a quarter, she'll lend you a quarter.

Ate,Nothing has changed. We are still the same as we were before. I cry your tears and celebrate your victories as my own. Maybe not in a loud and obvious manner but I am proud of you more than ever.You pursued your dreams with utmost conviction that it is where you belong, where you're good at. It's your craft. And you've proved it quite well.You are the envy of many and the pride of your family and friends. And even if a lot of people ask me why I am not as beautiful or as glamorous as my sister have become, I don't feel any bit of jealousy seeing you where you are now. Because you deserve it. And it makes you happy. I love you Ate. You know for a fact that if anything happens, I'll be the first one to come to you and you can call me anytime. We have our own goals in life and dreams to pursue.. but that doesn't make me less of a sister to you. For the record, I miss the old times too. Wish Mica’s here too. Bonding soon.
Much Love:
You're little sister,Jezz
