Most of your fights end in compromises, not in tears. 

“You are so IMPORTANT. You are someone’s aching unrequited love, you are the cherished child, you are the friend who answered the late-night call and changed everything, you are someone’s reason for getting up again. You don’t see it yet. But you are.”

Do not settle for half of his heart because you are convinced you are unworthy of the whole thing.

I call myself a giver to make up for the fact I am a pushover. I say chasing you is romantic so I don’t have to admit to being stuck inside a one-sided relationship.

Are you only going to love me until you realize how hard loving me actually is? 

ARIES: Stop running away from your feelings. 

Next year is only going to be a repeat of this year if you keep following the same routine, engaging with the same group of people, and continuing down the same general path.

“Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment, until it becomes a memory.”

She does not scare easily.

“You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it’s better to listen to what it has to say.”

LIBRA: Forgive yourself for the hurt you have caused. Seeing your toxic traits can help you change them.

There are days when I shoot the first text, when I slingshot compliments, when I like a string of selfies, when I allow the love to flow freely from my heart to my lips. Then there are other days when I want to be left alone.

I will always second guess people who flirt with me, who send me good morning texts, who show the slightest amount of interest in me.

You don’t have to get over him completely. You only have to accept he is gone, he is never coming back, and you can build a perfectly happy life without him.

If he wants to date you, if he considers you his person, if he cannot wait to get to know you better, then he’s not going to wait until midnight to text you.

I hope you forget to bring your baggage along with you into 2019. I hope you walk into the year with an open heart. I hope you give yourself the honor of a clean slate.

“I have never been remotely ashamed of having been depressed. Never. What’s to be ashamed of? I went through a really rough time and I am quite proud that I got out of that.”

VIRGO: You are going to realize the strength of your feelings for someone and it is going to knock you off balance.
