“A murderer was on my front lawn with a gun in his hand. I have no idea what would’ve happened if I didn’t wake my grandpa, or if I didn’t wake up to get a snack.”

One day, it won’t hurt to look at them. One day, you’ll be happy that you have mementos of your past.

I want to kiss you, but I’ll keep acting like you’re just a friend.

We go out on dates before we’re ready. We find rebounds. We polish our social media to make it look like we’re happier now than we ever were in our relationship. We put in all our effort to make it look like we’re over the same people we dream about every night.

Date the boy that gives you a reason to laugh over the stupidest things, the boy that encourages you to tell embarrassing jokes, the boy that brings out a side of you that hasn’t been showed since you were a kid.

She doesn’t need some guy to tell her that she looks pretty in order to feel confident. She doesn’t need his encouragement in order to feel strong.

He never shows you pictures or videos on his phone, because he’s worried about the texts that might come through while you’re looking.

Pisces: He wishes he could tell you that you were more than his girlfriend. That you were his best friend and it really sucks now that you’re gone.
