  1. don’t look at me like that.
    you left me, remember?
    okay, so i know i shouldn’t have done it. but i was drunk. and he was drunk. i mean, i was really drunk, really really drunk.
    and i was angry.
    i was furious, even, you could say.
    and i just wanted to hurt you. i wanted to hurt you as bad as you hurt me.
    so don’t look at me like that.
    because even though i did the unthinkable
    i can never kill you
    like you killed me.

  3. The power to stand up for something. Stand up for your life; however you choose to live it. No one can tell you to stop it. It will come to an end on its own.

  4. with conviction i walk away from that short lived dream of a girl and a boy. It just wasnt right. i didnt know how to end it but I knew that one day I would be happy with my choice no matter how much it hurt now. So with conviction i will walk away.

  5. I guess at first I would have to say incarcerated.
    what is it about me that I don’t automatically think conviction meaning someone who has a will to achieve and get it done. I would hope that I am convicted to Holly and making a movie… but maybe I should just be convicted cause I haven’t achieved!

  6. Multiple meanings come to mind, firstly in a legal sense, being accused and proved of a crime will result in a conviction
    Secondly, the strength to follow your will, one who has conviction will do well in life. I yearn for conviction in life.

  7. I may be completely pessimistic at this point in my life, but I still hold the conviction that I deserve to be happy every once in a while. I am in that state of careless contentment most of the time, but happiness is something completely different. I deserve to turn on my music and smile at the upbeat rhythms. I deserve to get ready for a trivial dance and feel good about myself. I deserve to look around and not give one shit about what anyone thinks–I’ve already spent too much of my life caring. Now is not the time for such ignorance.

  8. jail house. someone in chains and locked up. orange jumpsuit. jail food. convict, akon’s song. akon and young jeezy. convicted ink tattoo, orem utah. casey anthony trial. being pissed about casey anthony trial. her getting off easy even though she killed her baby.

  10. She said it with such conviction that it was hard not to believe her. She was firm in her beliefs – the kind of self-security that only the most confident people are able to maintain. The strength of her statement made me question everything I had ever believed to be true. It made me believe that there was no way she was wrong.

  11. You have to mean it. If you mean it, it’s true. Say it with conviction and you’ll be believable. And trusted. And loved. “I Love you” said with conviction is the most beautiful sound.

  14. The conviction was a surprise to no one. The prisoner exuded waves of grease, and you could see the sleaziness in his posture.

  16. conviction like a convict but conviction as in determination? i have a conviction to live life the way it should be. that reminds me i need to memorize my script about maine. i’m putting stuff off too much.

  17. conviction,
    its a sentence, something that will follow me for years to come,
    stop me from doing things and having things.
    it was a stupid mistake
    and it’s haunting me, and i am sure it always will.

    regret.
    it comes hand in hand with conviction.

  18. I cannot define personal conviction but I do consider conviction as a predecessor or punishment.

  19. determination? certainty? to have confidence in an idea. or at least sound like you have confidence.

  20. i had believed in my convictions whole heartedly and suddenly this small realization changed all of them. I was no longer the strong willed Christian, conservative that my parents raised me to be but I had become a gay liberal feminist, or in other words, their worst nightmare.

  21. Don’t blur your mind when making decisions. Wrong convictions will lead to rues in the future. You wouldn’t want regrets knocking on your door every waking minute of your life.

  22. My conviction was my awakening. I was wrongfully accused and little evidence backed me up as a prime suspect, but I guess that was enough for the state of Alabama. I was put behind bars for 5 years, and it gave me a lot of time to think and remember what people mean when they say “live life to the fullest”; that phrase used to piss me off but I think I get it now. When I got out, I fully utilized my time as a free member of society. But that’s not the story I’m trying to tell; prison was the focus of my life for several years and I can honestly say that without it, my eyes may still be closed.

    Liza was the one that got me started. She was a real loner in the prison, and for some reason that appealed to me. All the fake people I’d ever met that smiled when they didn’t even know you and begged for you to like them without even knowing why had always gotten under my skin. I knew she was different and that’s why I was drawn to her. I’d lay awake at night, thinking about her and wanting to be her. Strange, I know, but I wanted that energy. “Take me or leave me” kind of attitude- something I’d always wanted to have but never really learned how to get.

  23. “We’ve got it.”

    I look up at the man in front of me, sure that I had heard him wrong.

    “We’ve got the conviction.”

    I nearly jump out of my seat. But decorum keeps me grounded. Besides, I don’t think my feet can hold me right now.

    “I can’t believe it’s finally over.”

  24. It hit me, like a slap to the face. What I was doing wasn’t right. It was logical and it damn well wasn’t the Christian way. Sometimes conviction hurts.

  25. ?
    why are you doing this to me?!
    ANSWER ME!!!!

  26. It was all a lie, every last word. A simple story you made up to get. And you know the worst part? It worked. I fell for it, and I fell hard. Yet, here I sit, alone, fully convinced that you will come back, convinced that you meant every last word, convinced that you actually care.

  27. I guess the cool thing to do, and also the normal thing to do, is to hold really strong convictions and shit, but that’s just not me. I don’t believe in holding opinions too strongly or being convicted by them. Don’t be a dick.

  28. I have a friend who believed that everyone
    “came out” to their parents no matter their sexual orientation.
    With great conviction, she announced to her parents that she was straight.
    Today is National Coming out day, and all I can say is, go with love no matter where your rainbow leads you.

  29. Of my crimes One day I will pay. Some day someone will come forward and I will be caught in a mess bigger than any mess in my entire life. ANd at that point, no one will bethere to save me. I will have only my self. Hopefully God can forgive me.

  30. Conviction is confused with mere belief. Conviction is something that one truly believes in ones heart, something that no logic or even faith can interfere with. Conviction is the absence of doubt, and the utmost surrender of the mind to an idea – or rather, to a truth.

    by Jorja on 10.11.2011
  31. “A ‘no’ uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a ‘yes’ merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.”

  32. She’s finding it hard to stick to her convictions. She isn’t the kind of person who falls in bed with a man so willingly. She isn’t but he’s changing that rapidly. There’s something there burning through her like a low fire that’s eating at wood. She needs him soon.

  33. He was convicted of murder that day. His shoes were those of a murderer. His clothes were rotten with the stench of a murderer. His life was filled with the decision of a murderer. No longer would he be that man on the street. He would be a criminal. A fiend. A worthless human being.

  34. Conviction. It is drained from the mind with every computer or television screen. It is pulled into the cracks in the couch, hidden by the lazy cushions. It is the keys that never can be found, but so desperately need to be.

  35. tried and found irretrievably sold on the idea, philosophy, movement. Been tried and found to fail to waiver

  36. you said it without conviction.
    everything i want from you.
    everything was not as good as it used to be,
    by the time we got there.
    they’ve been saying i it for years.

  37. CONVICCION
    Yo tenía la convicción de hacer las cosas. Antes. ¿Ahora? No tanta. Convicción. ¿Cuál es realmente su significado? ¿Son sólo las GANAS de hacer algo? ¿La motivación? Sea lo que sea, la perdí.

  38. You don’t know anything about conviction. You taste it on you tongue but it eats your heart. You can’t change it. A belief is just not something you can change.

  39. The jury watches with cold menacing eyes. Jugemental eyes. The eyes of a preditor. They watch me as if I am a lamb ready for the slaughter. Not as if I didn’t slaughter. I didnt mean it!
    She deserved it.
    That witch.
    I guess I am just a lamb for the slaughter.

  40. Ohhh, she says the I likes its fire, and it snaps off her snake tounge, I’ve seen it, its pointy at the end! and we all talk about it when class is done, on the elevator, some are silent while others that push the bottons go into details about how many bumps and how she smiles like its
