I'm a mess in the supermarket, the lady down the aisle wears a worried face. I'm buying razors with mascara running down my face and she probably thinks I'm going to cut myself tonight from the safety of my bathroom. Maybe she thinks you broke my heart, maybe she's right. I'm not buying them to destroy myself with, I've learned how to do that from the inside out by now, but I've never been good with timing and execution has never been my thing so I'll let her worry about me because if I try to explain how I haven't been okay since the day you said hello to me I will leave with more wounds than I walked in with.

Don't build a life around someone who doesn't have the intention of putting a good base down. If he slams the door when he leaves it will pull walls down with him and you will be buried in the remains of what you thought was true love, but turned out to be empty promises and bad wallpaper. And if you ever the boy who broke your heart walking down the street, hand in hand with another girl, don't resent her. She never knew the way he held you when you cried or the way he laughed when you did. She might have the same arms holding her on bad nights, but she doesn't know how much it hurt to be crushed by him and to have to learn how to live without his laugh. Don't resent her because she doesn't know. And I know it seems like such a good idea to have pizza every day for two weeks, but believe it or not, you will get tired of it and want to ***** at the thought of pepperoni. Pizza will not solve every problem you've ever had, but calling your mom on a Sunday night just might. Don't spend money you don't have. Credit cards are cool until you are piled high in debt and you have to live off of ramen every night. You'll get tired of that too. It's okay to cry, and it's okay to kiss the boy at the party because you miss him, but don't fall in love with him because you can see a resemblance in his eyes. Fall in love with him because he holds your coat and purse when you go to the mall. Fall in love with him because he finishes your sentences, but don't fall in love with him because you're lonely. That's not love.
