“The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.”

—Ernest Hemingway

“You have to work at relationships. You can’t just walk out on them every time something goes wrong.”

—Nick Hornby, High Fidelity

“Holding on to things only breaks your heart.”

—Mitch Albom

My little cousin’s ideas on relationships:

A crush is when your Mondays suuuuck but sometimes your crush complains about hating Mondays too and it makes you happy because you hate the same thing. 

But love is like when you get to see each other and it makes even your Mondays feel like Fridays.

Attention everyone:

You are allowed to say “Fuck this. I’ve had enough.” if you have tried to maintain a relationship with someone, but they have not reciprocated.

You are allowed to stop caring about them.

You are allowed to give up on the relationship.

Because the only people who deserve your affection and emotions are the people who have decided that you deserve their affection and emotions.

No one has a right to your thoughts, body, sex, emotions, or affection.

No one.

Ok so the other night I told you guys not to love people. That it was painful and not worth it.

That’s a load of horse shit.

The best decisions I’ve made in my life include loving someone with wild, pratically careless abandon.

Love people. Even if you’ve only just met them. Even if they’ve hurt you a hundred million times. Love them. Because life is painfully short and you can chose to love or loathe and even if the person doesn’t deserve your love, it’s better to love them anyways. Don’t be reserved, or afraid or coy. Just give your love. Good things will happen. Bad things will happen too… But good and bad happen regardless of how much you love or give… You may as well love and give anyways..

So basically.. What I’m saying is, I love you. I hope you love me too.

“I sound awful saying it but I think it can be like that. I see a lot of people in unstimulating relationships. And not just boyfriend-girlfriend relationships. They find themselves in stagnant friendships. If people were a little less scared [of ending things] they'd get more out of life… You meet the right person at the right time and they fulfil a certain something in your life. You fulfil something in theirs. But there's a time limit to that. Unless you choose to be bloody good company for the rest of your life, do you know what I mean?”

—Laura Marling

“Every couple needs to argue now and then. Just to prove that the relationship is strong enough to survive. Long-term relationships, the ones that matter, are all about weathering the peaks and the valleys. ”

—Nicholas Sparks, Safe Haven

If you wanna date me just say so, you don’t have any competition.

May mga tao talagang parang napadaan lang sa buhay mo. Kakaibiganin ka, unti-unting lalandiin hanggang sa mahulog ka, tapos iiwan ka rin pagdating ng araw. Minsan kasi no choice lang yan or bored kaya ikaw ang natripan. Masakit mang isipin eh sa dinami-dami ng taong pwedeng gawing libangan eh ikaw yung nakita niya. Magiging mahirap at masakit sa una pero may rason din kung bakit sila dumating sa buhay mo. Yun ay para may matutunan ka, at wag nang magpapaloko. 

The patriarchy told me I’m obligated to clean the house and cook dinner if my boyfriend works and I don’t. The patriarchy told him that not working a job or doing any housework is “doing nothing all day”. The patriarchy told him he has a right to make aggressive gestures at me when I demand that chores be split 50-50. Common sense told me I should gtfo.
