When you love someone, you can forget the tiny details about them that made you smile. But when you’re in love? You’ll never forget those tiny things about them that makes them beautiful.

Don’t date the person who highlights your flaws, who tells you to change, and who criticizes you. Date someone who loves you despite all of your flaws and who loves you when you fail. Date someone who never questions you.

As an Aries, you are incredible creative. Your go-to outfit is always going to be your trusty pair of skinny jeans, paired with a bold and colorful blazer.

You can’t plan when you fall in love, or when you get heartbroken. Love is not something that you can see coming. It could be right in front of you, or you could be looking in the wrong direction.

The truth is, you can’t let go of it completely. You can’t drink it away and forget all of it. You just can’t.

I’m done letting people walk all over me, and treat me like I’m just a scrap of meat. I am done letting a boy who I adore, mistreat me. I don’t deserve to see those shrugs anymore. I don’t deserve to hear “maybe”.

This isn’t giving up. This is working so hard to fight for something that is not there anymore. This is not throwing in the towel. This is loving yourself enough, to do this. Even if it breaks your heart too.

Don’t baby her. Don’t look at her with a worrying gaze every time she reaches her hand out to you. She isn’t broken. She isn’t mental. She’s only human.

For everyone that is telling their single friends that they need to start dating, please stop. We don’t need your opinion. We don’t need your free therapy. We don’t need therapy at all actually.

You aren’t crazy. You aren’t going to feel like this forever. You just miss the idea of it all. The idea of feeling wanted again. The idea of being loved. And he’s the only one who has done it so far.

Please don’t come back into my life again, if all you are going to say is goodbye. I’ve already said goodbye to you. I’ve already cried a river for you. I’ve wept an ocean. Don’t let me do it again.

I wish I could be the one to build a future with you. To laugh together at our failed attempts at putting together Ikea furniture. To sleep on a cold mattress together, but only needing the heat from each other.

You aren’t going to change yourself for anyone. You stand strong in your values and know what you believe in. You aren’t going to back down if someone has a problem with your voice. You aren’t going to let a man make you go quiet.

Start living just for yourself and watch how greater the world will feel. See how much brighter your life will be. And taste how it truly feels to get happier. Taste how it truly feels to be better and to get better. And truly live life, according to you.

Attachment is easy. Because it isn’t real. It’s just a blurry line of insecurities and self hatred. Love is fighting. It is having real arguments about real life. It is seeing this person’s flaws and accepting them. It is real work.

I know that if you truly love me, you’ll be able to show me. You’ll be able to say I love you in everything that you do. And you won’t need to shout it out to me. You won’t even need to whisper it in my ear. Because I will already know. Real love is so much more than those three words.

If you love me, don’t let me get away. Don’t let me give up on us. Don’t let me keep writing sad poems about you. Don’t let our history turn into dust.

My friend, you are going to be ok without him. Because what you don’t know, is that, he is not the universe, or the sun, or the moon. That’s you.
