Virgo: You learned that almost relationships can hurt just as deeply as official relationships. You learned that your heart can be broken by someone you never dated. 

I want someone who will put in effort instead of doing the bare minimum to keep me around.

I love myself for keeping my standards high. For saying no to your unanswered texts, your canceled plans, your unspoken compliments.

You are cheating on your person every time you hang out with someone behind their back or text someone behind their back.

The little things are what can make a relationship collapse or last. 

Never date someone who treats you well when they are sober and turns into a totally different person when they’re drunk.

I don’t care how many people tell me that anger is poison and that forgiving you will bring me peace.

Aries: In 2017, you said goodbye to toxic people. You might think of that as a bad thing, as you losing people. But really, you gained something. You gained self-worth. You gained a fresh start. A chance to start over. 

She notices when you lie. You might think she is gullible, but really, she sees exactly what you’re doing.

In 2018, make a point to love yourself. Make a point to improve the way you see yourself. 

By now, you’re used to the pain. You’re used to heartbreak. Used to disappointment.

You’ll see her name pop onto your phone screen and toss it to the side to answer later. You’ll casually mention how you should hang out Saturday but never give her an actual time.

My father taught me one woman will never be enough for anyone. My father taught me to become a paranoid mess.

I am slowly learning that some people do not deserve a spot in my life. They do not deserve my kindness. They do not deserve my love.

If the sight of their name on your phone screen doesn’t make you break into a grin, then you should stay single.

You have moments of doubt where you wonder whether you’re going to be alone forever — and honestly, the thought isn’t as scary as it once was.

She peeled the hair back from her head like curtains with two clawed hands, revealing her nonexistent face. There were only indents across her skin where the eyes and nose and mouth would be.

Aquarius: In 2018, your love life will suffer due to your pessimism. If you think bad thing are going to happen to you, then you are going to cause bad things to happen.
