I am slowly learning that the code I was taught as a young child — to never give up on family — is complete bullshit.

Acts Of Service: When it comes down to it, you’re too nice. You go out of your way to help people before they even ask and end up getting walked over.

You can’t pretend to be just friends when you know you will never be satisfied with that, when you know you will always want more.  

You feel like you are fumbling through adulthood, pretending to have it together when you are secretly falling apart.

She takes risks. She believes in second chances. She hasn’t given up on herself yet — and she isn’t going to give up on you either. 

When this story is over, YOU get to vote for the ending!

He doesn’t suck at texting back. He sucks at texting you back. 

Aquarius: Uneventful

What I want is someone unafraid of staying loyal, of settling down.

You need to remember your worth. You need to remind yourself of how much you have to give and how little you have gotten in return. 

Instead of focusing on finding someone who will love you back, focus on finding something that will make you love life.

It is senseless to pretend someone is good for me when they have proven multiple times to be a source of stress and anxiety.

Someone who would never leave when things get hard. Someone who is in it for the long haul.

I don’t know how you’re still single, because you are a catch.

You could get eight hours of sleep and you’d still feel like you stayed up all night. You could do nothing all day long and still feel exhausted.

He doesn’t want to date you. That’s why he keeps sending mixed signals. That’s why it takes him so long to answer texts. That’s why he always cancels plans.

You don’t need anyone else to make your life feel like it’s worth living, because you are strong enough to make it on your own — and you are smart enough to know that there is nothing wrong with being single.

Stay single until you are ready to commit. Until you are ready to hand your heart over to one girl. One girl who makes you feel at peace. One girl who makes you feel like you are important. One girl who makes you think of home as a person instead of a place.
