You know what it’s like to be the underdog, the ugly ducking, the one who never seemed like you’d get your shit together. Everyone banked on you either never being successful, attractive, or interesting in any way. But now look at you. You’re starting to get there!

Did I just give them a thumbs up when they left instead of hugging them goodbye? AHHHHHHHH.

Expectation: This is going to be the best, most romantic night ever!
Reality: Oh wait, this is basically like every other date we’ve gone on.

He calls his ex-girlfriends crazy.

I love Texas because it seems like the people just get what we’re all about.

Sometimes it will seem like the only thing she talks about is leaving.

“I write in the morning and then go home about midday and take a shower, because writing, as you know, is very hard work, so you have to do a double ablution. Then I go out and shop — I’m a serious cook — and pretend to be normal.”

“You are the only person I can talk with about the shade of a cloud, about the song of a thought…”

It’s 0 degrees out. Let’s stay warm and watch some sweet documentaries.

Board games + a bottle of wine = best Friday night ever.

It will be a lie told over breakfast. A disingenuous laugh at dinner. The realization you’ve stopped paying attention halfway through conversations.

No one tells you about the complicated, emotional, frustrating moments in life and so you just experience them on your own while feeling like a failure that you haven’t hit all of these great milestones everyone else on Facebook and Instagram seem to be achieving. But the thing about it all? Eventually you learn to let it all go with time.

“All I can think about are the chances I never took.”

You can have all sorts of ideas about how your ideal partner should be but the truth is when you find your person, the person that compliments your life and fulfills you in ways no one else can, you ease up on those strict standards you thought you once had about love and dating.

They casually tell you over dinner something major happened – a job promotion, a family issue, travel plans – and instead of asking what you think or how it will potentially affect your relationship they simply just tell you it’s happening.

Small social activities that might seem like no big deal to you might be a huge deal to them.

She’s not always going to tell you everything’s going to be alright.

I completely believe that if someone is truly interested in another person they will make time, regardless of what else is going on in their life.
