Finding your forever person doesn’t mean you’ve found someone who is perfect and fits into some cookie cutter shape the Internet has decided on; it simply means you’ve found someone who is perfect for you in every imperfect way.

You have so much love in your heart that you want to give and share, so much love that makes your soul ache and your stomach fill with butterflies. You have so much to offer, but you decided to love someone who wasn’t ready to receive your love and give it back.

You are so bright and you are so strong, you are capable of so much. Don’t let these moments of weakness steal away who you are.

I can’t be okay with someone who is only half invested in me, someone who makes me disgustingly happy but leaves me hanging out to dry most of the time.

He can say he will stop or won’t do it again, but saying and doing are two completely different things.

I know you love him with all your heart and he loves you, too. The only difference is all the love in his heart still isn’t enough. He is giving you all the love he has, but you can still do better.

Am I clinging to the future in hopes it will be better?

Tell her you love her, but also show her.

I wanted there to be chemistry, I wanted there to be a connection between us and I wanted to believe that you’re the one for me, but it’s obvious you’re not. I wanted it so bad I kept trying to create something out of nothing.

You ask them to check if there are any “bats in the cave.”

You’ll each take turns surprising each other with little treats and finding reasons to celebrate each other.

Mint chocolate: You are a sensitive and caring girlfriend, even if most don’t see that side of you.

I said nothing, I felt nothing and I just kept scrolling. I just went on with my day like I’ve done for all these years without you. I remember who you used to be when you loved me, but I have no idea who you are anymore.

Admit when you’re wrong. Don’t let your pride get in the way of your relationship; the best thing to do is pick your battles because some just aren’t worth arguing over.

It doesn’t take much, but a little effort can make a huge difference.

You’ll always remember him, but maybe you’ll forget what his kiss felt like or what his deodorant smelled like. Maybe you will forget the little things, but you probably won’t ever forget him completely and that’s okay.

You can’t see depression like you can see a broken arm. You can’t touch anxiety like you can touch a sprained ankle. You can’t see mental illness so we pretend it isn’t there, we pretend that for a few hours a day that it isn’t there, but it is. It’s there and it’s real.

Aquarius – You try to do too much at once, you need to slow down and relax. Sometimes things won’t go your way, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong or isn’t going to work out.
