“Don’t just stick it in, warm me up first.”

“Do you tell her that I damaged you?”

“I don’t get jealous when she flirts with other guys, I get jealous when the dog gets more attention than I do.”

If there’s a topic you’re super passionate about, you will NEVER back down. You freely express your views on the topics that are most important to you, and if someone brings them up you sure as hell are going to say something.

It’s too soon to say I love you, but when we both feel an absence in the quiet, we can’t think of anything else to fill it with.

Realize that positive affirmations will only work if you believe in them. You can look in the mirror and proclaim self love 100 times a day, but unless you actually believe in your affirming words, they won’t make you feel any better.

When someone asks what’s wrong, you ask yourself the same question. You honestly don’t know.

You’re not a failure at love because your heart is broken, you’re a failure at love if you let the fear of heartbreak keep you from loving at all.

“If it bothers him that I make more money than he does…Living in a modern world with old-fashioned insecurities.”

Maybe you’re the girl who doesn’t think of marriage as something to aspire to, but simply something that may or may not happen.

A girl who’s close with her mom doesn’t need her boyfriend to take her shopping. You won’t have to worry about answering the question, “Do these jeans make my butt look big?”

“It’s almost Valentine’s Day, and I don’t know what to get myself yet.”

You wish texting didn’t exist. Was that period a passive-aggressive period? Or was it just him ending his sentence? It’s hard for an over-thinker to grasp this concept, but WHO CARES.

You’re not late because you’re slow or relaxed, you’re late because you took four wrong turns and went the wrong direction for three miles.

If you give her the love that she deserves, there’s no reason for her to doubt or drift, there’s only reason for her to be sure that she’s exactly where she’s supposed to be.

“Something that says more than he stopped at Rite Aid on his way home from work.”

“#BeforeFacebookI had to stalk my exes with binoculars and camouflage.”

We’re up, we’re down, we’re everywhere except the place we want to be, but part of the reason we feel so unsettled is because we haven’t accepted the chaos in our life for what it is, chaos.
