The quasi-deep texts we used to have on MSN

Sometimes I do miss those good old days, you know. That weekdays only consisted of going to school, and that you thought you would never be that busy and stressed again. That the biggest drama in your life was that your crush had flirted with someone else at the school party, or worse: had made out at the hockey party. I could cry about that, but well, I didn't want him to notice.

So what do you do then? I, as a betrayed woman (or rather a teenage girl), ran to my MSN, Cu2 and PP2G to change that and fill it with quotes about betrayal, heartbreak, and being strong in tough times. *~R3aL EyesS, Re4L1sE reAl L1eSsSs…~* Yep, that will teach him.

Right after high school, I really thought it was more than fine that MSN, Cu2 and PP2G disappeared, because I shrank in shame when I saw what was on there. Those endless questionnaires on Cu2 for example, that you filled out every time, as if someone was actually waiting for them. Throw in some glittery GIFs, a few shout-outs to your besties, and some quotes that really described ~*YoU*~. What a hilarious time. And that's why I've put together the very best of those quotes – I just couldn't physically manage to write them all Op DeSe MaN1eR tE sChRiJvEnNnNn… That hurt my eyes too much. How did someone think this looked cool and why did we always use ‘s’ instead of ‘z’ and vice versa?

Alright, time for a trip down memory lane.

1. Real eyes realise real lies
(Take that! That will teach him)

2. If you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best
(When you were sent out for the first time in French class)

3. Alcohol ain’t the answer, but it makes you forget the question
(And then still being underage)

4. Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans
(When we still thought that high school would be the busiest time of our lives)

5. Live for the nights you’ll never remember with the friends you’ll never forget
(Again: still underage)

6. Live, laugh, love

7. Sing like no one is listening. Love like you’ve never been hurt. Dance like nobody is watching.
(Oooh, how we thought we had experienced everything by the time we were sixteen)

8. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift. That’s why we call it the present.
Sooooo *~DeEeEeP~*

9. Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.
…When you had your exam week and just messed up your math test.

10. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take

11. And of course: the hearts, the odes to your BFF, the ‘every blondie needs a brunette best friend’ and of course everything *~s0oo~* written
I’m going to rinse my eyes for a moment…
