I enjoy lazy days. I enjoy my own company. I enjoy spending time alone. It doesn’t bother me. It doesn’t make me feel lonely.

I realized I needed to raise my standards when I kept staring at a blank screen, waiting for you to text me back. Waiting for you to invite me over. Waiting for you to make a commitment. Waiting for you to show you cared.

Aries: You spent every waking moment waiting. Waiting for someone to text you back. Waiting for the weekend. Waiting for something exciting to happen.

She will never actually say these things, but she constantly daydreams about what would happen if she did.

I would rather deal with my problems on my own, even if that means that I end up sobbing inside of bathroom stalls and texting people who don’t belong in my life and binge drinking until I black out.

I know what you are willing to give me by now. Enough to keep me interested, but not to keep me happy. Enough to make me feel like you care, but not enough to make me feel like you are committed.

I finally see my own worth. I finally know what I deserve. I finally understand that it is not selfish to take care of myself for a change.

Seeing you hurt. Thinking about you hurt. Everything about you hurt. 

Commitment scares me, so if I am able to push my fears aside to stay with you, then you must really mean something to me.

Stop acting like you are such a screw up. Stop telling yourself that you are unlovable, that you are undeserving of a serious relationship. 

When he’s in the mood to talk to you, he sends the most flirtatious texts. But other times, he doesn’t answer you back at all.

Stop equating your worth to how quickly someone texts you back — or whether they text you back at all. 

I can’t stop thinking about how attractive you are. About how delicious every inch of your skin would taste beneath my lips.

You shouldn’t have flirted with me. You shouldn’t have led me on. You shouldn’t have made me think that you wanted to settle down with me. 

Libra: They look at you like you are worth something. When you are with them, you feel like you matter. 

I am never going to regret the shameless way that I flirt with you or how quickly I text back.

You made her feel like she was never doing enough, even though there was literally nothing more she could do for you. She did everything for you. 

Pisces: They are going to break the news to you over text so that they don’t have to see your face when you realize what is happening.
