  6. I was never more determined than I was that night. I still remember my heart thrashing in my chest, begging to be released, pleading to get its way. My mind persevered and I continued walking away. I never saw you again.

  7. “Am I supposed to act determined? About all this? Well. I don’t like it. And I’m not going to pretend to, either. I’m not going to pretend I’m driven enough. That I want it enough. I can’t be determined for something I don’t fucking want.”

    A pregnant silence followed her words. We all stared at her, awed that she finally spoke up.

  8. I am determined. Determined to make you see who I really am. To expose my soul to you, the inner depths of myself that even I don’t yet understand. I want you to realize that there is nothing I wouldn’t do to try to save you from yourself, even if it means destroying who I am in the process. I just want you to be okay.

  9. I was never so determined to kiss you as I was when I was not with you.
    I never wanted the taste of your lips so bad as I did when I could not see them.
    I forgot what your voice sounded like but I never forgot how good you looked.
    I forgot just why I loved you, but I knew I did.
    So my determination grew
    To make you love me too
    I wanted to kiss you so badly
    I forgot why
    I forgot what you did to deserve it
    In the first place

  11. There was fire in her eyes. She sucked in her breath. She was determined to win this thing. Losing was not an option.

  12. I was determined to stay focused. Stay focused. Stay focused. The lines blurred like clouds together on the edge of my vision, molding into strange, dark, looming shapes. I couldn’t make out whether or not figures danced inside of them.

  14. He pushed his foot harder against the break, his hand sweaty on the gearshift. His heart pounded and adrenaline rushed through his body. He had waited years for this. Today, he was determined to shine.

  15. There can be storm. There can be hail. The winds can be torturous. But the wicker of the lamp never fades. It shines bright and it gives light. To everyone around.

  16. True to what the universe meant you to do. Nothing to doubt. Nothing to look back at. Just see what lies ahead. But don’t stop to observe. We are the slaves of time. And by the time we try and figure out life, life will have surpassed us.
    So, whenever you walk, whenever you stand, make a move, run, sprint, leap or act on the emotion of determination, make sure you see it through.

  17. Determined
    but of different mind sets
    one, to not let go
    the other, to learn to say goodbye
    when hej hej becomes farvel
    life becomes a hole you must
    learn to climb from
    but never will

  18. Pressing on despite all urges to respite
    Strolling down the path of least resistance;
    Fighting through the dark to sought daylight,
    Unwavering to the shades emerging hence.
    Realizing trial as opportunity
    Knocking on that forgotten cellar door;
    Chastising others simply seldom see
    Comprising wonders held quick amid your
    Wondering self, who never whole of heart
    Faulting judge another as beneath,
    Deserving naught but scraps of treasures thought
    Encroaching, where were once thought fit and meet.
    Suffering for truth, self unconsidered,
    Pursuing answers beckoned, ’til delivered.

  19. I am determined to be a rapper. For much of my childhood, i felt a beckoning urge to spit rhymes and record sick flows on paper. But then it hit me, my life was a lie. My dreams slowly faded into reality and saw that i was not a rapper. But rather a naive child who chased un-achievable ambitions, the follies of youth.

  20. I was going to do it. Scratch that, I *am* going to do it. Think positive, and it’ll come true. Sure he’s bigger, stronger and armed better than me, but I have an advantage… there’s a precedent. Just call me David

  21. Never failing, unyielding, terrifying, impossible, nonexistant, motivated. Tryer or tries and doer of deeds. bending time and space for a specific goal, moral or not.

  22. at one point i knew what i wanted and i wanted him. at one point he wanted me. we were determined to make this work, but it blew up right in my face like i had expected. i was only a place holder until someone better came along, someone thinner and prettier, someone who had more to offer.

  23. if one’s success is determined by money and status of his, so what is the point of opinions?

  24. skirt shorts
    called skorts
    people like putting words together
    they find it funny
    i call it lazy
    but still, they’re determined to make you laugh
    guffaw

    but me?
    i just roll my eyes.
    nothing is funnier
    than someone trying hard not to be funny.

  30. She was determined. Just….not determined enough to
    actually do it. She lay with her forehead planted firmly on the
    desk in front of her and legs splayed out on both sides of the
    chair. “Whyyyyyy?” she moaned “I thought this class only had a few
    short papers…..not one fifteen page one.” She lifted her forehead
    a moment only to bring it crashing back down on the desk, hoping to
    knock herself unconscious long enough that she wouldn’t have to
    write this stupid paper. Maybe she could use her selective
    withdrawal….but they only got three of those…and she’d been in
    the class all semester long. UGH. Seriously. The only way to end
    this was to write her paper. She sat suddenly at attention, hands
    poised over the keyboard. She stared at the screen. She squinted at
    it too. Then her hands suddenly headed towards the lettered
    buttons! ajlfjdnxcmlgwb “NOPE.” she yelled loudly. Then squinted at
    the screen some more. The cursor blinked in and out of existence.
    It blinked in and out of time. In and out of spatial awareness. One
    second there. The next gone. Blink, blink, blink. It was here and
    now it wasn’t. Was it ever even there in the first place? That
    beautiful little cursor blinking in and out of life. “Fucking
    bastard.” She tilted the chair back on two legs. What if she could
    find someone who would write the paper for her? That was a thriving
    business, right? Hell if she got paid she would totally do it too.
    Except she wouldn’t. Not ever. As she pondered the pros and cons of
    a paper writing business the bitchy chair legs decided two wasn’t
    enough. Plus the floor really missed her. “Shit.” No wait. Actually
    this was good. Floor. Yes. Paper. No. Roommate walks in to find a
    dead girl on the floor. Dead girls or girls in comas don’t write
    papers. As she contemplated whether or not she could sufficiently
    fake a coma her plan was foiled by an evil villain. “What the hell
    are you doing on the floor?” “Contemplating comas. Double c’s.
    Nice.” His eyebrows did their afternoon ‘crazy girl on the floor’
    stretch. “Right. Paper?” “I’m also contemplating death.” “Okay
    then. Well it’s only fifteen pages. Double space. So 7 and a 1/2
    right? Notsobad.” Her head fell to the side. Then her eyes widened
    in a good impression of a death stare. “Bad. Okay. Well I’m off.
    Have fun you weirdo.” She nodded politely at the closed door and
    then steepled her fingers. As she sat in the chair, while it lay on
    the floor, her legs crossed, she stroked her beard in thoughtful
    recall. “Coma. Yes. I think it’s very possible.”

  31. I want my old arm back, but every time I reach back for my fastball, I see it’s just not there. I have tried everything, and it seems unproductive. The harder I work, the more I get set back. I would do anything just to throw the ball past people like I use to. I miss those times, everything was so simple because baseball was simple.

  32. I already got this word. 20 seconds ago. I am determined not to get it again.

  33. I’m just not as determined as I used to be. On one subject, that is true, but when it comes to me wanting to travel, dance, and simply help people, I am VERY determined. I’m willing to give up and do whatever I have to to make those things happen and I’m really glad that I have this type of mindset. I don’t understand people who waste their lives working. It’s just all a waste.

  34. I am determined. I am the beast at the end of the tunnel, just waiting to charge. I am the floor of the ocean, heaving and rising with the movements of the Earth. I am the waves that lap at the shore. I am strong. I am human. I am me, or at least I am most of the time. I am time. I am everything and nothing at once. I am the sea, rocking you to sleep and then shaking you roughly awake in the morning.

  36. Determined is related to motivated. It means to do it con ganas, as my mother would say. That means to do it with will power.

  37. Every time one say something is determined, well, I don’t believe it’s true. You are not determined to do that, to be with that person, to live in certain place. You can always change your mind.

  38. The determined always find a way. Kind of in the same way the sun rays always find their way back to the break of day. But sometimes conflict prevails. Determined to disheveled, no longer functioning scraps of metal. The ruins of the monumental, brain matter sacred stored inside the temple. Fate determined to disaster, it’s a catastrophe, please quit asking me for the my insight. The hieroglyphs will encrypt despite your clarity in the day light.

  39. sometimes i feel like being so determined is not only a strong quality but a down fall
    im determined to be something in life
    i work for what i want
    do as many good deeds as i can
    never am i not willing to lend a helping hand
    but this only seems t get me no where
    determined to strive, i promise i try my best
    but what difference does it make when im given nothing but the short end of the stick

  40. I am determined. I was determined. I am determined to no longer be determined. Determination has killed my determination. I am so exhausted. I cannot be determined any longer. I must determine a new way. But what way? How can I be determined not to be determined? Exhaustion. Determination. A cycle I have perpetuated.
