Whenever someone disappoints her, she’s not surprised at all, but she’s still hurt.

You would rather be with him than with any other boy. And you would rather be with him than be single. Even though there are times when he drives you crazy, overall he makes you a happier person. A better person.

She would rather come on too strong than too weak. She would rather admit that she cares than pretend that she’s heartless.

“Played Ouija with some friends and it started being threatening and Satany, so we threw it away in a church dumpster. The next day that church was struck by lightning and burnt to the ground.”

“Probably being beaten and locked outside/in a closet for days at a time. Drinking hose water and begging for food from neighbors. The worst time being in the snow after being whipped by an extension cord (the heavy duty kind) and knocked unconscious having my head kicked into a fireplace.”

Boys like her. But not the boy. And his opinion is the only one that matters.

Do you have an assigned side of the bed?

Stop texting the guy that puts in zero effort. You shouldn’t have to text him first every single time. You shouldn’t have to carry all the conversations. You shouldn’t have to give your everything when he gives you nothing.

Sagittarius: He wants to have rough sex with you, where he calls you a slut and you scratch up his back.

No matter how many hardships that she’s forced to face, she still has hope that things will get better. Her strength never wavers, because she knows that the universe is on her side. That it’s going to grant her happiness in the end — as long as she keeps doing her part.

Be the kind of girl that compliments herself when she walks past a mirror instead of finding minuscule reasons to criticize. That has silenced that hateful voice inside of her and replaced it with a loving one. That knows her inner value, her intrinsic worth.

Whenever you meet a guy, you convince yourself that he’s the one before even getting to know him.

You thought he liked you, because he gave you every reason to feel that way. He touched you. He texted you. He told you that you were pretty. Maybe he even kissed you, made out with you, had sex with you.

Her tears aren’t a sign of weakness. They’re a sign of fearlessness. Some people don’t have the strength to fall. They hover on the edge of cliffs, afraid of the drop, afraid of what will happen if they let themselves hope they’ll be caught when they reach the bottom.

He notices when you make little changes. When you color your hair. When you do your makeup differently. When you wear a new dress.

She doesn’t believe your excuses. She’ll play along when you tell her that your phone battery died, because she doesn’t want to call you out on such an obvious lie, but you’re not pulling one over on her. You’re not as smart as you think you are.

Capricorn: You have low self-esteem, because you were the smartest kid in elementary school. You did well in all of your classes and were constantly told how intelligent you were. Now that your’e older, you feel like you haven’t lived up to expectations. Like you aren’t as smart as everyone always assumed you were.

It doesn’t matter whether you were officially in a relationship with her. The fact that you flirted with her was enough. The fact that you gave her attention was enough.
