Having crushes in your twenties is so easy and blissful, they’re not serious and that’s such a great feeling.

Hiding behind a phone screen or computer screen all day sending witty messages back and forth just isn’t good enough for me and it honestly shouldn’t be enough for anyone.

To be valued means that you are appreciated for your role in his life. It means that he respects you and how you feel.

You sucked me in and now you have me hooked. I’m yours for the taking, but you won’t have me.

You deserve someone to pull the car up to the curb when it’s pouring rain, even if that means they get soaked. You deserve someone who actually, truly and completely gives a shit about you.

People that truly love you will support you, even when you fuck up and everything goes wrong. Those are the people who are important. Find what you were created to do, no matter how many fuck ups and failures it takes.

But what I’m coming to realize is that I’m single because I’m scared to take risks. I’m scared to let someone know me on a romantic level. I’m scared to let someone into my life in fear that they will leave.

I don’t need good morning texts or breakfast in bed. I’d rather crawl out of bed with him in the morning and decide we should just go to McDonald’s drive thru breakfast because we’re lazy and don’t feel like cooking.

The best love is a love that makes you want to be better, without changing who you are to make someone else happy. Because true love makes you better, it makes you more alive. It makes you more of who you are, not less.

I don’t want a relationship that is flooded with gifts that are trying to replace love because love can’t be replaced. Love can’t be covered up or over powered by anything. Love is love and there is nothing more dominant than it.

Hurt people hurt people because misery loves company. Don’t let hate and hurt stop you from being the best person you can be.

Being the friend gets hard after a while because sometimes you just want to feel wanted. You don’t want to be the girl who is always asked about her friends; you want to be the girl being asked about.
