1. You will look for love in all the wrong places. In cold bed sheets, in closed hands, beaten hearts and in the eyes of someone who does not see you as full.

2. You will return to someone who has hurt you.

You will. And

you will learn that the second burn doesn't hurt any less, if not more.

3. You'll allow someone to take all the parts of yourself you don't like, and they will love them for you,

but I swear you don't need them to.

4. You will lose yourself in someone you love.

You will forget who you are without them, and when they leave, so will a part of you.

I promise you will find a bigger part to yourself, a part that was waiting to be discovered.

5. Someday you will realize not to love the first person who buys you dinner, or calls you beautiful, or holds your hand, because you've seen this before. You've given in one too many times,

been ran over,

given too much.

Someday you'll wait.
Give your love to someone who doesn't call you beautiful

but who knows you're exquisite.
