Do I believe that everything is meant to be, or do I think that things just tend to happen for no reason at all?

The American author Stephen King wrote this book called It. In the 1980’s, I think? Or maybe it was the 1970’s, I can’t say for sure.

I dodged your name in conversations, and expertly did not flinch when someone did bring you up. I acted unfazed, aloof. Totally stable and healed.

Ingrid Nilsen (aka missglamorazzi) is the angel of YouTube. She is intelligent and eloquent and hardworking and talented and beautiful and kind and genuine, and oh my God, I just love her.

Receiving Gifts: You’re always attracted to a person who is incredibly generous and thoughtful. The kind of person you always like is someone who is constantly thinking of what someone else needs.

You can’t kick the Prozac or Zoloft by thinking about how the sun is shining and that Beyonce and Jay-Z worked things out after “Lemonade” and had two beautiful twins.

I’m too good for everyone!!!!!!

You’re allowed to stop listening for the echo of their goodbye, and you’re allowed to stop hoping for their call. You’re allowed to stop asking “What if?”

Aries: You lose her when you treat her like an option, rather than a priority. As the first sign of the Zodiac, an Aries takes her needs and wants seriously.

Depression tells you that you are a bad friend, that you are bad at your job, that you have no hope for a better future.

Pisces: You’re the single friend whose feelings don’t get taken seriously because you just have so. many. feels.

Slowly but surely, I will loosen my grip on the idea of us, of we.

Because the cold, hard truth is this: if he acts like he doesn’t give a fuck about you, it’s because he doesn’t.

He doesn’t remember little things about you. He never really comments on the little things that make you, well, you.

You have trouble slowing down. You like to move fast, and when something demands you to slow it down to do it properly, you tend to really struggle.

Old souls are not interested in playing hard to get or partaking in the chase. In fact, they find the rules of modern dating to be absolutely exhausting.

I wish all the words we shared were as honest and raw as the ones that escape from our lips during one night’s end and one morning’s beginning.

You consider reaching out to him, and asking him how he’s been, and maybe if he’d like to get together. But you know better than that. You know how these things go.
