It feels like the floor underneath you is dropping. In college when this first happened to me, I thought the ground beneath was literally moving, or that maybe an earthquake was occurring.

Even if it ended, it doesn’t dissolve the impact that love had on your heart. Even if it ended, it doesn’t mean that you and your partner didn’t have the strength to make it to the top. It doesn’t mean that that love wasn’t real.

The last time she posted on Twitter was January 29th. THAT’S ALMOST TWO MONTHS AGO GUYS. THIS IS NOT OK. NOT GOOD.

You are so much more than your appearance.

Don’t meet my family. Don’t meet my relatives. Don’t hold my hand in public and kiss me on the tip of my nose. Don’t give me bear hugs. Don’t call me yours. If you don’t really want me.

Maybe she thought she needed you at first. That she needed a body to hold at night when it got too dark to see. Or maybe she thought that she needed the reassurance of a hand or a hug. But I can guarantee you, she never needed it. She never needed you.

The strongest girls are the ones who don’t feel sorry for themselves. And no matter what has happened to them in their lives, and no matter what their hearts have been through, they hold no hatred for the universe.

Let social media bring you closer together with people that are different from you, instead of tearing you apart.

Move on from a life that has bruised your ego. From a life that has done nothing but pour tragedy and disaster into your heart. Move on from the past that has you reeling every time you look back on it. Move on from the ugly ghosts that haunt you to this day.

He left for a reason. He said goodbye for a reason. He didn’t just walk away without thinking about it. And maybe he’s an idiot for it. Maybe he made the biggest mistake of his life leaving you. But it’s done. It’s final.

They will always be honest with you. You will have no problems with communication in this relationship, because they don’t hide anything from you.

You’re intense in all aspects of your life. You’re intensely emotional and sensitive. You are empathetic on a whole different level than most people, because you feel everything so incredibly deeply.

You are loving someone who will kiss your demons away, because they have spent their whole lives fighting their own ones.

They aren’t ever going to settle just because they are lonely, or just because all their other friends have significant others. They know that true love is worth waiting for. They know that true love is worth the years of being alone. They know deep down inside of them, that it will happen one day.

We are lonely. But we don’t let our loneliness impact our everyday lives. We don’t let it interfere with our happiness.

Stop searching and looking. Stop thinking that one person is going to transform your life. Stop putting so much hope and belief into someone who you haven’t even met yet.

I’m scared. What if I never find another you? What happens then?

I don’t think it’s our fault that we do it. It’s how our hearts were made, really. It’s how our hearts were molded and held. We were born to be givers. To be the ones with bigger hearts than most, that grow and grow without needing to be full.
