You are a red flag I chose to ignore. A 20×20 crimson warning saying: “No! Don’t do it! Damaged upon arrival!!!”

It is four in the morning, I am sobbing so hard I can’t catch my breath, I have fresh tattoos on my wrists and all I can think about is ripping them off to see if the ink will come up with them.

15. “I’m not like other girls.”
Bullshit.

35. Clean your phone. That thing is really dirty.

3. Tinderella.

There’s no such thing as hidden meanings. You have to listen to what they say when the words come tumbling from their mouths. Even when those words taste bitter and are difficult to swallow.

3. Agree to activities we aren’t into but that we know you’ll be amped for.

9. “Why aren’t you vegan?”

12. “I have a really terrible headache and I know you’re going to make it worse.”

He called me crazy, threatened to “show me what he could do” if he ever saw me in person, and laughed off any semblance of my being offended.

You’ll be forgiven, mostly forgotten, and you’ll only exist in pieces like the remnants of a bad dream or a scar that hasn’t totally faded. But I’ll haunt you for the rest of your life.

Who knew there were this many Sam Smith remixes?

That’s the thing about addiction; it creates an illusion of invincibility. It seems like nothing can happen, nothing can be ruined as long as you both are completely intertwined.

I’m going to tell you exactly what to expect if you get with each member of the band.

8. The Recent Transplant Who Is Still Afraid Of Everyone.

The Musician guy fills that certain void of bad boy and creative that every wandering post-grad-girl is looking for.

Your space is 100% your own and you can make it a 550 square foot representation of you and nobody else. Plus, you aren’t getting into an argument about getting a Reservoir Dogs poster framed. So that’s cool too.

4. You’ve considered getting Life Alert purely so you can have a person at your beck and call when you get lost trying to find your way back home. Which is more often than you’d care to admit.
