when i was little, i thought love was about red roses and expensive dinners.. truth is, love is giving her half your fries when she said she wasn't hungry. it's waking up at 4am to her snoring and refraining from shoving her off the bed. it's talking in accents just for shits, and trying to embarrass one another in public. it's going on adventures, and making fun of each other. it's stupid fights and memorable make ups. love isn't pretty and romantic.. love is just stumbling through life with your best friend.

I'm not a mess but a deeply feeling person in a messy world. I explain that now, when someone asks me why I cry so often, I say, 'For the same reason I laugh so often--because I'm paying attention.' I tell them that we can choose to be perfect and admired or to be real and loved. We must decide.

—Glennon Doyle Melton,

I Wish I wasn't a dreamer I have ruined this life for myself
