Lauren Jarvis-Gibson

Getting a meaningful tattoo.

I am done. I have deleted my dating apps. I’m done trying to find love in overcrowded bars in the city. I’m done trying so hard. I’m done feeling let down.

“I left him after I saw that his bad habits would never change, no matter what I did and no matter how much I loved him.”

Watch ‘The Bachelor’ with her.

For you to actually go on a date, you already have to have a connection with this person. They have to be truly special for you to even consider seeing them.

Age 23: Everyone says this is the worst year of your twenties, and I would have to agree. Some of your friends are out partying on weekdays, while others are already settling down with husbands and babies. You honestly don’t know what the f*ck you are doing.

This love will not lay stagnant in a dusty, empty room. The love you deserve is always present. You deserve a love that does not turn away from your open heart, and you deserve a love that doesn’t reject a single ounce of who you are.

When all else fails, just breathe. You are surviving. And sometimes, that is all you can do. And that’s ok.

If she can make me laugh till I am doubled over on the floor, she is completely wife material.

Vivian: Will spill wine on your white dress and pretend that it was an accident.

Logan: Loves pumpkin spiced lattes more than you.

When you call them pet names. Kinda gross. But kinda cute.

Her stomach rolls. There is nothing sexier than a woman with curves.

Actually look at people. Ask them what they like. Ask them what they don’t. Ask them about their values. Ask them about their family. And when you fall in love, don’t let it get away from you. Don’t let the best thing that has ever happened to you, go.

To love a girl who is ‘forever alone’ is opening up a part of her heart that she didn’t even know existed. You are going to show her that she is capable of true, real love. You are going to introduce her to a whole new side of her. You are going to open up her heart to new heights and to new sights.

We all deserve a Drake in our lives. We deserve the guy who is blunt about how he feels about us. We deserve the guy who adores our bodies, souls and minds. We deserve the guy who won’t ever let us go. So, please, find the person who looks at you exactly how Drake looks at Rihanna.

Aries: You are a go-getter who won’t stop until you achieve your dreams.

Bruce: The guy who had a love affair with protein powder.
