Even though I don’t want it to be true, you occupy such a huge part of me. I still love you, in some way.

But there’s something so lonely about continuously meeting (good) people and feeling nothing. If I don’t make an effort, I won’t have that gut sinking. I won’t have to look at someone face-to-face and realize, yet again, it’s just me. I’m a walking shell.

What happens when you’re crazy about someone who just isn’t right?

She doesn’t expect you to be her savior. She didn’t ask for one.

You owe it to yourself to have the kind of love that sticks around. Something mutual, something that feels safe and taken care of.

My love, we are not smooth sailing, but I’ve never known anything that was.

so you think you can come back after all this time.
like there was no destruction.
like it’s all easily forgiven.

you tell me how pretty I look
and I think,
you haven’t seen me in years

This unholy war we’ve decided to call love. Maybe we just wouldn’t know anything else.

When you got sucked into a Facebook debate with a stranger and your BFF “liked” every point you made.

It is not your responsibility to turn a coward into a champion.

Good.

The Instigator: She’s the reason everyone is out drinking in the first place. She’s usually the one who handles her liquor the best (from practice) and she’s often found urging everyone to have just one (four) more drink(s).

“Money management. Admittedly, I was very privileged in college and had a lot of help from my family with tuition and other finances. The idea of having to do it all on my own really scares me.”
