We don’t all give and receive love the same way.

It’s not that you don’t believe in romance. It’s just that you’re too sensible or too experienced to romanticize relationships.

Solid relationships are made up of two people leaning on each other every day, in every aspect of life. Two people who see that they’re better equipped to tackle the world as a unit rather than apart.

Friends don’t ghost.

Unrealistic expectations don’t lead to Happily Ever After. They lead to the Land of Perpetual Disappointment. So enjoy romance all you want, but don’t romanticize your relationship.

Thanks to years of consuming so many stories, a reader’s interior world is truly amazing—a sanctuary they can escape to whenever they please, which is a serious advantage when life gets tricky and the real world isn’t such a great place to be.

Maybe that’s just how true love operates. As two people conquer test after test, choosing forgiveness in the name of staying together, they grow stronger as a unit.

Espresso drinkers are efficient at everything from caffeinating themselves to getting off.

When she smiles, you smile. You don’t have to know WHY she’s smiling. Her happiness is contagious. You absorb her every good vibe automatically, by osmosis or something.

Forget Folger’s. The best part of waking up is getting off shortly after opening your eyes.

When you catch yourselves legitimately arguing over who loves the other person more.
