“Once you grow up, you realize you don’t want to be crazy in love.

You want to be calm in love,

stable in love, patient in love,

understood in love, safe in love.

Your partner should give you peace of mind and reassurance, not constant little heart attacks and high anxiety.”

tell your mom/partner/friend you love them

My people are the whitepill people

The ones who try to find ways to support instead of tearing down

The ones who never make fun of others for the way they look or for their struggles

The ones who are kind to others (though sometimes they could be kinder to themselves)
