If you’re quick to jump into all-or-nothing thinking, you’re going to have to consider the kinds of people you’re choosing.

Why do people think obtaining new things will make them happy?

I’m the type of girl that expresses her love verbally. I will scream it loud and proud that I fill cards for my boyfriend with romantic psychobabble.

Sometimes, you have to choose happiness over being right.

Part of who you are is who you surround yourself with. It’s not healthy to only spend time with your partner; you need to spend time with your friends, too.

If you feel yourself slipping into the habit of asking your partner for the fifth time today if they still love you, take a pause.

Where do I begin something that tries to scratch the surface of our love?

Even after being with my partner for a while, I love finding out new things about him.

If love is a universal feeling, so is heartbreak. 

The crisis has taken the normal relationship trajectory and thrown it into disarray.

Instead of trying to make your partner see things your way, respect that you both see things differently, and that’s a beautiful thing.

What if we came to terms with the fact that, for now, this is life? As messy and fucked up as it is, this is our new way of living. For each person, it looks different, but for each person, it’s not what it used to be.

Are you ecstatic when you match with someone cute? How about insecure when you don’t?

Often, people focus too much on what a relationship can give them: stability, financial security, a baby daddy/momma, someone to remind to grab milk while they’re out.

Loving is a choice.

I can’t give my new partners my full trust. I can barely shell out half-trust.

While listening is the first step for communication in a relationship, empathy is what truly matters when your partner is talking about their struggles.

I’ve dated many men with an avoidant attachment style. I’d say their love is, I imagine, equivalent to taking a hit of heroin. You’re on top of the world with it, but the rest of the time, you’re miserable.
