Aquarius: You break hearts when you realize the person you’re dating doesn’t intellectually stimulate you.

Cancer: You suck at being single because you hang out with the same people all of the time

What do you think is the most important lesson you can teach a child?

A broken girl can’t believe you when you tell her that she’s beautiful, but she can believe every self-reflection that tells her she’s not enough.

Capricorn: You’ll find your forever person when you stop expecting the worst from people. Not everyone is going to hurt you like your ex did.

When you’re with your forever person feeling love becomes more important than obsessively declaring it.

“We’re not the generation of commitment phobes, we’re the generation that is distracted by all of these obstacles that define what modern dating is.”

Virgo: They’re confused by the questions you ask them when you’re clearly overthinking something that does not need to be over-thought.

I deserved more than your half-assed text messages late at night in the hours you felt most lonely.

Your heart becomes braver every time you persist to love again, but it also becomes more careful.

You’re both a little scared.

Taurus: You’ll survive modern love by opening up your guarded heart. When one person lets you down, you’re convinced the next one will do the same exact thing

The pain becomes your motive, and you do things because you’re hurt, or sad, or angry. And while heartbreak is all of these terrible things, it still isn’t something to fear.

Capricorn: All of the wrong guys love you because they think you’re not serious when you say you’re looking for something serious. The wrong guys think you’re just trying to be ‘unattached.’

These are the little moments that make us, us. Because before us, there was you and there was me, each in our own little lives never knowing the other even existed.

Pisces: You sabotage your love life because you’re a hopeless romantic. You want your life to be like a romantic comedy where Matthew McConaughey saves you from a giant dumpster rolling down the street

We don’t intend to hurt the ones we love by leaving, but staying out of fear sometimes creates just as much pain.

“I realized that I don’t need to have ALL the answers ALL the time. Finally, I developed a true sense of direction.”
