You are only happy when you are together.

I initiated every conversation, which is why the second I stopped trying, our texting ended. You could have contacted me for a change, but you never did.

Maybe they acted like your pain was more of a burden than anything else. Maybe they acted like they didn’t want to hear it.

I am slowly learning that the minimal amount of effort is not enough. It’s not enough to text me without making plans to see me in person. It’s not enough to buy me dinner and drinks if you’re going to end up staring at your phone the entire time.

Strong girls aren’t going to run away at the first sign of trouble. If they believe you are worthwhile, they will fight for you.

Virgo: You are going to pretend you are perfectly fine with a casual relationship or an almost relationship so you don’t appear desperate — even though you secretly want a committed relationship.

He wants you to stay loyal, but he doesn’t want to commit himself. 

Whenever a girl starts to get a little flirtatious with him, he finds a way to work your name into the conversation so she knows he isn’t on the market.

Someone who believes in authenticity over sending mixed signals because they aren’t afraid of their own feelings. 

You are probably sick of hearing it gets better because it seems like things keep getting worse.

Thank you for showing not everything lasts — and that is actually okay. That can actually lead to growth. 

I love my job. I love my friends. I love my life. For the most part.

The truth is, she wouldn’t waste her time with you unless you meant something to her.

“I don’t think our smart kitchen even has a manual setting. Trying to cook ourselves could mess up the entire system.”

I am slowly learning that my feelings deserve to be expressed, that my emotions deserve to be felt. I am slowly learning that my thoughts matter. 

She doesn’t want to insert herself into your world if you don’t have room for her. She only wants to be around people who want to be around her. 

She wants a relationship that is solid. Concrete. Unbreakable. She doesn’t want to keep you around when she isn’t even sure how you feel half of the time. She doesn’t need uncertainty. She needs commitment. 

Capricorn: Hopper. You don’t give a shit about most people. But when someone comes along that you do give a shit about, you would kill for them.
