Another day, another month, another year goes by and you are stagnant in a relationship that you are completely unsure about.

“Lose my number” used to be a thing. Now it’s more like: lose my number, unfriend me, stop following me on Instagram and Twitter, remove me from Snapchat, delete my email address.

You have moved on, but part of them still sticks with you and you cannot explain why you care so much.

You’re not pregnant!!! Even if you haven’t been laid in a while, it’s a relief to know that some miraculous Jesus baby conception didn’t happen.

The experience itself of being invested, excited, and anticipatory of a new relationship, only to watch the results of your efforts get reaped by another person, can make you feel like you want nothing to do with the concept of a relationship.

A funny girl will buy you a beer, steal your heart, and kiss your mother the minute she meets her.

I am exhausted. But I have not given up.

I Will Follow You Into the Dark by Death Cab For Cutie: To sing out loud when you have the feels for the pizza you just demolished.

I know countless relationships that have been left at a standstill because no one had the guts to say “I want you” without asking the other person for validation.
