I stay up at night, because my heart is beating too fast. My lungs are sucking in air too fast. My thoughts are racing too fast, making me terrified of what the future will bring.

“I woke up in a wooded area a few feet away from the playground of my former elementary school naked, covered in grass stains and my blood, gasping for air because this dude decided to choke me until I lost consciousness.”

She is going to get bored of you, because the chase is fun at first. So is the flirting and the late night conversations. But eventually, she’s going to want more than that. She’s going to want something real.

She wishes she could tell someone I like you, I want to be with you without coming across as a creep.

It’s hard for her to wake up without dreading the day, for her to stand tall in a room full of girls she wished she looked more like.

You can’t date someone that gets pissed at you for being quiet and fidgety around their friends. You can’t date someone that hates how you choose the aisle seat at movie theaters and buses, in case you need to escape.

She feels like she’s broken, because she doesn’t do what girls her age are supposed to do. She doesn’t party. She doesn’t go out on dates. She doesn’t live wild and free.

Scorpio: You curse like crazy. It’s hard for you to complete a sentence without throwing the F word in there somewhere.
