I am upfront about my feelings. I love loudly.

“It is so hard to leave—until you leave. And then it is the easiest goddamned thing in the world.”

Commitment means you are willing to make sacrifices to them, you are willing to move around your schedule for them, you are willing to sort them at the top of your priorities list. 

The mixed signals threw me off for a while.

ARIES: “Best friends are important. They’re the closest thing to a sister you’ll ever have.”

“There’s no harm in hoping for the best as long as you’re prepared for the worst.”

I hate how small my circle of friends is. I hate how infrequently they reach out for conversations. I hate the small amount of notifications that fill my phone. I hate feeling like there is not a soul in this world who considers me a priority. 

I’m not blaming you for leaving. I’m blaming you for the way you left.

You deserve someone who stays. Not someone who flees when the mood strikes. Not someone who has trouble sticking around because of their baggage. 

The happiest couples know what it’s like to fight — but they also know what it’s like to reconnect.

Aquarius: Dan and Phil

TAURUS: Homesickness 

The moment you give up, the moment you stop trying to better yourselves and your futures, is the moment when the relationship becomes endangered.

VIRGO: You are struggling with your life/work balance. You aren’t sure how people manage to maintain friendships, a career, and a close relationship without burning themselves out.

I do not suck. Anxiety sucks.

When you love someone, you don’t act like they are being ridiculous when they shut down and get quiet because you feel like you didn’t even do anything. 

I might talk a big game, but the second someone cute holds open the door for me or compliments my hair or asks for my phone number, my standards melt. 

TAURUS: Immaturity
