Assumptions are the death of a relationship. If you think you know what’s going on inside someone else’s head, think again. We imagine that love gives us the power to read one another’s mind, when all we are really doing is reading our own. It’s a great self-defense mechanism but no substitute for actual communication. The very best way to know what’s really on someone’s mind is also the riskiest: you have to ask them.
I like the way we laugh, lights on sleep-eyed. I like the way this is so comfortable. Comfortable like my oldest pair of sweatpants, like that couch we swore was magic, like sleeping in your own bed after being away. Like wet hair, no make-up, brushing my teeth in front of you comfortable. It’s the way moments that should be awkward are just funny instead, the way your arms around my body remind me of the covers on my bed, the way we touch and sometimes it sparks and sometimes it melts.
But the truth was you could sit around and make sense of things all you wanted, talking and talking, but at some point, from out of nowhere, you would still get hurt by the same thing again and again.

The Heart is a lonely hunter with only one desire! To find some lasting comfort in the arms of anothers fire…driven by a desperate hunger to the arms of a neon light, the heart is a lonely hunter when there’s no sign of love in sight!
I want someone who would put in the same amount of effort as me. Maybe I might go a little bit overboard when it comes to pampering you, and spoiling you, but that’s only because I really do care about you. I’m not the type to waste time and opportunity waiting for someone to make me happy. I’d rather see you happy instead. And I guess that’s why people tell me I’m too nice. I always put other people’s happiness first before my own.
Really dont know what makes us stick around for one another, i guess its that feeling in your heart that makes us stick together & go farther. through the ups & the downs we stuck through it, so by us getting this far.. i knew it was worth it. est090106
If you’re feeling frightened about what comes next… Don’t. Embrace the uncertainty. Allow it to lead you places. Be brave as it challenges you to exercise both your heart and your mind as you create your own path towards happiness. Don’t waste time with regret. Spin wildly into your next action. Enjoy the present - each moment as it comes - because you’ll never get another one quite like it. And if you should ever look up and find yourself lost, simply take a breath and start over. Retrace your steps and go back to the purest place in your heart, where your hope lives. You’ll find your way again.
