Feelings are meant to be felt. Not bottled up, not picked at, or swept away. Because one day, they are going to all come back to haunt you. And you might as well feel it all until they eventually fade from your heart.

Because of you, I know what I deserve. Because of you, I love myself. And because of you, I won’t settle for anything that is less than what it felt like to be loved by you.

Unrequited love: Regardless of who it is, this heartbreak stings like hell. Especially if you have to see this person a lot, you’re going to need tubfuls of Ben & Jerry’s to get through this one.

My major milestones and moments, have always been about falling in and out of love. Now, I’m 23. And I don’t want my next milestone to be about a boy. And I don’t want my goals anymore to revolve around another person. I want my goals to revolve around me.

If you don’t take me seriously, then I’m not going to date you seriously. It’s as simple as that. Oh, and if you do? I just might write an article about you.

Every relationship must go through the darkness, to get to the light. It’s the effort you put in that makes a relationship work. It’s the fight that makes the difference, and the tears that water the weeds you planted a long time ago. And we all deserve relationships that bloom.

Aquarius: Your soul seems to be lit on fire because you are always so bright and ecstatic. The opposite sex loves your spontaneity and always knows they are going to have a good time with you.

When you picture your future in your head, you see them standing next to you.
