Bet on a guy who makes you feel comfortable enough to open up about your darkest thoughts, your greatest shames, your most fragile insecurities. Bet on a guy who makes you feel lighter for sharing these things with him – not more unsafe or more in danger of being unloved because of your imperfections.

Leo: Spending lots of time together but still having lots of alone time in order to relax and recharge, being with someone who’s highly intelligent and can have really interesting conversations with you, and always setting aside space for your individual goals and career aspirations. 

You never let yourself feel complacent or overly satisfied. When you’ve accomplished something, you give yourself permission to celebrate, but after an appropriate amount of time, you’re on to the next thing – always focusing on the future and how you can grow.

You wouldn’t change a thing about the absolute trust and faith you have in them, but it does feel weird to be so completely unguarded with another person after you’ve been so protective of your heart for so long.

That feeling when you absolutely weren’t expecting to find something funny but then this huge, wonderful bubble of laughter comes out of you.

“I get so much joy out of sneaking peeks at him while he’s reading a book. He makes such funny, expressive reactions and it just makes me laugh and love him more. But I’ll never tell him that, because I don’t want him to ever stop doing it or become self-conscious of it.”

Libra-Scorpio (10/19-10/25): You understand who you are.

“The good friends will be happy for you when you’ve found a great person. The bad friends will try and convince you you’re getting ‘wifed up’ because they’re afraid of you moving on and growing up without them.”
