hehe I got these today
also, I found the Q with the really good picture of the horrors (where they’re talking about painting their studio) but it was twelve bucks! so I didn’t get it sadly
Don’t stop chasing.
I think that one of the biggest reason why relationships do not work out in the long run is because at one point, one side (or both) stops trying. Before one claims another person as their significant other, they would do anything to make that person happy. They would chase, they would flirt, they would be charming. They would send daily morning and goodnight texts every time you wake up or go to sleep. They would write corny messages and pick up lines just to make sure that there is a smile upon your face. But once they claim you as theirs, all of those things eventually stop. The 5 page texts slowly turn into 1. The constant calls turn into not calling at all. And the lovely endearments turn into daily arguments. In order for a relationship to work, don’t ever stop chasing. Just because the person you want is now considered “yours”, it does not mean they deserve anything less than the time when you’re trying to win them over.
But don’t force it either. If doing those things becomes a chore instead of something that just comes naturally, that relationship isn’t working out.
And don’t act like “Oh, of course I’m not going to act the way I did then! I don’t have to impress them anymore. It’s relaxed. I’m not nervous around them anymore.” because that’s bullshit. If it’s working out perfectly, you should still get butterflies in your tummy when you think about them after being together for years.
I feel like a little of my soul is dying everyday. I know I should be able to, but I cannot live without you. Only a few more weeks until we’re together again. I crave your smile and your scent and your hand in mine. I want to make you happy. I want to be the perfect girl. Your image makes me unbelievably happy, but it also brings unfathomable pain. Why can’t I have you?
