You’re sick of being disappointed. You don’t want to deal with heartbreak, so you try your hardest to avoid falling for anyone.

What was your favorite snack when you were a kid?

You don’t have any time to focus on your own goals and your own needs, because you’re too busy catering to what he needs. You’re sacrificing your happiness for his.

Even though she looks strong, even though she is strong, her fears won’t leave her alone. They follow her home every night, into her bedroom, into her dreams.

Love means tossing and turning the entire night, because they’re out of town and you can’t sleep without feeling their body beside you.

Virgo: When you step out of the shower. Before you apply any makeup or do your hair. You look drop dead gorgeous in your natural state.

Our arrangement was golden. I barely had to do anything, aside from sit there and answer survey questions. I liked spending time with her. And I trusted her. I knew she wouldn’t do anything immoral, put my life in danger. At least, not on purpose.

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.
