You dont sleep with a bunch of people to learn how to fuck somebody, how to love someone.

It means being emotionally unavailable even if youre single, it means being lonely most of the time.

You would rather have a bleeding heart over being surrounded by ingenuine intentions.

It means appreciating what matters before it slips through your hands.

It means saying I love you first.

It means being scared but going for it anyways, it means giving it a real chance.
