but then you realize that this ‘whole package’ everyone’s looking for is unattainable. No one can be everything you want them to be.

No two people can see the world in the same way. No matter what you’re looking at, no one is seeing it the same way you are.

But the absolute worst was when people asked if I was okay. Because then I had to admit that it was real, it happened, and we weren't together anymore.

Never give up on your dreams. No matter how many people say it’s impossible, no matter how difficult your journey is, you can create your ideal life. Your heart’s desires can become reality. Make things better now by taking steps every day to get closer to the life you want. And never, ever give up.

And yeah, it got better. My stomach eventually went back to normal. I didn’t cry every day. But my heart. My heart will always be broken.

No one is worth wasting a gorgeous weekend over.

Life would be so much easier if fictional boys were real.
