You know a Leo man loves you when he tries to show off in front of you.

You don’t need him to tell you that you deserve better. You don’t need him to tell you how wonderful you are, how lucky someone else will be to have you. You don’t need his affirmation, his testimony to how awesome of a person you are.

“That’s how you know you love someone, I guess, when you can’t experience anything without wishing the other person were there to see it, too.”

Sometimes we get so wrapped up in looking forward that we forget to see what’s in front of us already. Sometimes we let the worry of tomorrow ruin the beauty of today.

Maybe the secret to a fulfilling new year is to stop expecting our lives to change just because this last year ended.

“You’re never going to find someone who has everything you’re looking for.” The Taurus doesn’t want to hear that their standards are too high, or that they have to edit the long list of things they want in a partner

Capricorn: You’ll break hearts in 2018 when you shut out the people who have no intention of hurting you.

How do you know when you love someone?

He tells you what he wants from the beginning, or really what he doesn’t want, a relationship. Monogamy. That’s not for him, he says. He’s not good at it, he says. He’s a terrible boyfriend, he says.

It’s been a while since the first time we said, “I love you.” When we were both hopelessly falling, and just wishing, praying, that the other was falling too.

The beautiful thing about heartbreak is that at the end of the day we learn how to make it on our own.

Gemini: It feels like 2017 has been the year of uncertainties for you, but in this last month, you begin to have enough energy to find the answers.

Taurus: You’ll find love again when you stop telling yourself you’ll be single forever.

Taurus: You can count on them to get you that one thing you REALLY need. They won’t give you the most meaningful gift, but they will get you something you won’t have to re-gift.

That’s why modern dating is bullshit because it literally kills everything that redeems us from the one thing love overcomes, fear.

You don’t know the current slang kids are using nowadays, and if you do know it, you don’t feel cool enough to say it. The word lit doesn’t roll of your tongue like it does a 21 year old’s. 

Aries: He’s always finding new and exciting ways to make each day of your relationship feel like it’s the first. No matter how long he’s been with you, he loves you more and more every day.

The kind of guy to make the guarded girl finally fall in love feels safe, and she hates that at first, because she’s so used to falling for people who make her feel daring, like she’s taking an adventurous risk by giving them a chance.
