Holly Riordan

You deserve to love yourself. You deserve to feel confident in your skin.

Do not make the mistake of thinking How I Met Your Mother is a love story. It is a story about friendship. It is a story about growing up. It is a story about figuring out what matters most to you.

Wondering whether you made the right choice is not a sign you made the wrong one. It’s a sign you have a heart. It’s a sign you care. It’s a sign you are trying to do the right thing. 

When you are with the right person, you don’t have to go the extra mile in order to convince them to stay because they are not going anywhere. But you should go the extra mile anyway because you want to make them happy, you want to give them even more than they believe they deserve. 

“Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.”

You take relationships seriously. You are not into anything casual. You want a real love. A lifetime love. 

You acted like you were my boyfriend one day. You acted like a stranger the next day.

If you had any intention of dating me, you would have put at least a little effort into our conversations.
