“Do yourself a favor and learn how to walk away. When a connection starts to fade, Learn how to let it go. When a person starts to mistreat you, learn how to move on.. to something and someone better. Don’t waste your energy trying to force something that isn’t meant to be.. Because the truth is.. for every one person who doesn’t value you - there are tons more waiting to love you better. Do better.” — Reyna Biddy (via onlinecounsellingcollege) -

when i was fifteen, i had a boyfriend. and trouble getting to sleep.
he wasn’t really the type to stay up past 10:30, so when he found out i would sometimes stay up until 2 in the morning, it’s safe to say he was shocked. and a little concerned. we had only been together a couple of weeks by this point, so i figured it was just a little tidbit he learned about me and that would be it. as we were in a ldr, we were constantly on the phone from the time we got out from school to the time we (he) went to sleep, but that night, at midnight, he instructed me to turn all my electronics off and lay down and just talk to him. i fell asleep in less than 20 minutes, which was a feat. he would do this every night, making sure i was asleep before he hung up and went to sleep himself. he would speak so softly and tell me how wonderful i was and tell me little jokes for as long as he needed to and, although we were together for a very short amount of time, i am so grateful to have had a person like that in my life, even if things feel a little weird now, when we cross paths every once in a while
im crying
goodness me this is sooo heartbreaking <3

Don’t be afraid to be “too much.” Call me 5 times a day because you wanna hear my voice or something came up and you wanna tell me immediately. Text me 12 times in a row when I don’t answer fast enough. Leave me cute texts when you can’t sleep. Hold my hand. Everywhere. Sit really close to me on the couch. Keep your hand on my thigh. Always have a part of you touching a part of me. Tell me you love me every hour I don’t care I want to be smothered in love holy fuck life is too short to hold back.
