Marry your best friend. I do not say that lightly. Really, truly find the strongest, happiest friendship in the person you fall in love with. Someone who speaks highly of you. Someone you can laugh with. The kind of laughs that make your belly ache, and your nose snort. The embarrassing, earnest, healing kind of laughs. Wit is important. Life is too short not to love someone who lets you be a fool with them. Make sure they are somebody who lets you cry, too. Despair will come. Find someone that you want to be there with you through those times. Most importantly, marry the one that makes passion, love, and madness combine and course through you. A love that will never dilute - even when the waters get deep, and dark.

I would like to know who keeps ratting me out to my exgirlfriend over the stupidest tweets and shit like this on tumblr. Someone out there has very good time management skills in order to be spending so much time worrying about my life. I hope whoever they are is extremely successful in their life, and one day, the universe will even this out. I’m not worried. I just hate seeing her name on my phone and knowing that I have to deal with some stupid shit.

Sincerely.

Grumpy.

You will be stupid. You will worry your parents. You will question your own choices, your relationships, your jobs, your friends, where you live, what you studied in college, that you went to college at all… If that happens, you’re doing it right.

Still.

I’ve filled up my days with adventures and life, and all that is good in my world. Yet I’d be lying if I said I’d actually felt the wind cut my skin, or the laughter of my friends warm my heart, or the vibrations of the soul as only the touch of a lover can arouse. I keep an optimistic outlook, but the results tell more than my actions can sustain. I just my heart was still saturated with the joys of the past, not iced over, and doomed to last.
