Make time by mutual agreement, not because you’re holding out a catcher’s mitt for their attention.

You might not even know what their standards ARE, but it feels like whatever you do is wrong.

Just because you’ve been hurt doesn’t mean that there isn’t someone else out there for you in the future.

If you’re single right now and want not just someone— but the right person in your life, this is for you.

Always avoid acting like anyone’s insta-girlfriend.

I’m aware this list is pragmatic and often brutal so don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Staying angry about that thing they did or said six months ago is helping exactly no one.

5. You feel that if you were just different somehow that things would improve.

You know that thing you’ve always wanted to try? Do it.

Remember that you can’t get what you want by denying someone else what they need.

5. If you start feeling like you’re not living your own life.

Ignoring non-negotiables is a ticking time bomb; eventually it will all blow up.
