If you look around at the people who have love, you’ll see that they’re all different. Your lack of love has nothing to do with your size, your quirks, your personality.

You owe nothing to your younger self. You are not responsible for becoming the person you once thought you’d be.

You would be the overly blunt girl in the house who has no filter. You’ll literally tell Becky that she should stop eating donuts because her gowns are looking tighter, and Rachel will hate you because you told her that she’d eventually “grow into her nose.”

Light candles, drink wine, play your favorite music, cook yourself dinner and make it feel just as good as when you had plans to go out with someone.

You bring a sense of unique, unconditional adoration, to every relationship you curate, and people appreciate your openness dedication to your tenderness.

This kind of man is attracted to a charming, elegant woman. He has no time for someone who is full of herself, and his biggest turn off is a female who is pompous and flashy.

If you had to live tomorrow on repeat for the rest of your life, what would you do?

You’re doing something every single day that adds to the person you want to be (you practice your music, you write something, you connect with someone you love).

You have a fascination with creepy, dark or bizarre things.

This is a definitive list of the best jokes humanity has ever made about CAPITAL letters.

The story we’re sold about love usually doesn’t go past the exposition. The part people write about and talk about and make films about is the seeking, finding, losing and finding again.

They don’t expect to feel “good” all of the time.

Be clear with your intentions. “Hanging out” is not dating, and if you aren’t interested in someone enough to go out on a limb and ask to take them to dinner, you probably aren’t interested in them enough to be dating them at all.

Wrap people in hugs more often than you wrap things in paper.

Everybody has a past they don’t talk about. Not publicizing difficult (or traumatizing) experiences doesn’t mean they don’t exist. You never know who is carrying a burden, and often, it’s the people you’d least expect.

Just reading up until this point makes you want to click off and completely disregard it altogether.

Essentially, we turn to Twitter more than we ever turn on a TV station (at a rate of 61%, specifically) and while this is likely increasing our awareness of what’s happening in the world, it is also decreasing our open-mindedness.

Essentially, genuinely intelligent people are not the most quick-witted, confident or certain.
