You cant dip your heart in an anesthetic.
You cant flip off your feelings like a switch.
You cant be the emotionless android that you wish you were.

Pretending you dont have a heart isnt going to protect it.
You cant lie to yourself.
you could lie to your parents when they ask you if there are any nice boys in your life.
But deep down, you know the truth.
Theres no substitute for love.
Drugs arent going to dull the ache in your heart and neither is that bottle of Jack Daniels.
No amount of brown sugar, Scotch, or social media can replace the feeling of true love.
Relationships arent the only way to get hurt.
Even if you swear yourself off of relationships, you’re free to still fall victim to heartache.
you’re free to run from Cupid, but you cant hide.
Being numb isnt the same as being heartless.
Your heart has been damaged.
You dont want to want anyone anymore.
But that doesnt mean youre heartless.
Youre still capable of loving.
Youre still capable of being loved.
You just need some time to heal before it’s possible for you to use your hearts full capacity.
Pain is a part of life.
So why would you avoid dating, out of fear of getting dumped?
Everything worth having in life comes with its risks.
You have to be willing to take them.
Pushing people away isnt the answer.
Turn down dates with men youre not interested in.
Turn down dates that you know wont lead to anything.
But dont turn down dates that you know would make you happy, even just for a night.
You dont have to let everyone in, but you have to let somebody in.
Youre not a robot.
Its natural for you to have feelings, and its dangerous for you to run from them.
Crushes arent something to be embarrassed about and love isnt something to be ashamed of.
If you gave them another chance, youd see that.
Youll cause the things youre scared of.
You pretend youre heartless, because you dont want to get your heart broken.
But if you keep turning down potential friends and boyfriends, youre going to be the one breaking hearts.
Youll become the thing that you hate the most.
Is that what you want?
History doesnt have to repeat itself.
Youve been hurt before, but that doesnt mean its going to happen again.
There are men out there that will handle your heart with gentle hands.
They wont put you through all the suffering and strain that youve come to associate with loving someone.
Youre strong enough to handle the pain.
Are you really going to let some silly boy ruin your life?
I dont think so.
Thats why you might as well stop pretending that youre a heartless bitch and give love a shot.
