Sometimes, you’re just too busy to think about changing your shoes to accommodate all the different things you have to do in one day.

We don’t all give and receive love the same way.

It’s not that you don’t believe in romance. It’s just that you’re too sensible or too experienced to romanticize relationships.

Solid relationships are made up of two people leaning on each other every day, in every aspect of life. Two people who see that they’re better equipped to tackle the world as a unit rather than apart.

Friends don’t ghost.

Unrealistic expectations don’t lead to Happily Ever After. They lead to the Land of Perpetual Disappointment. So enjoy romance all you want, but don’t romanticize your relationship.

Thanks to years of consuming so many stories, a reader’s interior world is truly amazing—a sanctuary they can escape to whenever they please, which is a serious advantage when life gets tricky and the real world isn’t such a great place to be.

Maybe that’s just how true love operates. As two people conquer test after test, choosing forgiveness in the name of staying together, they grow stronger as a unit.

When she smiles, you smile. You don’t have to know WHY she’s smiling. Her happiness is contagious. You absorb her every good vibe automatically, by osmosis or something.

When you catch yourselves legitimately arguing over who loves the other person more.

You are the chocolate chips to my fresh baked cookies.

Real couples on how love evolves, and what it takes to stay together.

Why was the little strawberry crying?

His mom was in a jam.

“Once, I even claimed to be related to Prince William…”

Is there enough love in my life?

You wish you could deny it, but your parents’ heartfelt concern when you’re down and out really does make you feel better instantaneously.

Loving friends with total abandon.

Hold onto your hearts, because it’s going to be a wild ride.
