I never needed you.

I never needed you,
To tell me I was pretty,
Or that my eyes sparkled in a particular light,
I never needed you,
To tell me my laugh,
Was like music to your ears,
Or my nose was your favourite feature because it was cute,
I never needed you,
To pick me up,
When I was down,
Or to fall behind me,
I never needed you,
To remind me of how strong I am,
When things get tough,
Or to rescue me,
I wasn’t lost,
I never needed your wings to help me fly,
And I never understood why,
Until I let you loose,
I never needed you,
Because I had me.

“Ella, my darling. I want to tell you a secret. A great secret that will see you through all the trials that life can offer. You must always remember this. Have courage and be kind. You have more kindness in your little finger than most people possess in their whole body and it has power. More than you know. And magic.”

— Sophie Kinsella

“Don’t beat yourself up for not knowing the answers. You don’t always have to know who you are. You don’t have to have the big picture, or know where you’re heading. Sometimes, it’s enough just to know what you’re going to do next.”

How to say goodbye:

1. Wave your hands and pretend it doesn’t hurt. Then hope the waving will make the pain go away.

2. Say goodbye as if it’s a promise worth keeping and pretend it doesn’t hurt at all. Then hope you can say it enough to make yourself believe.

3. Turn around and pretend you don’t care–that you never did at all. Then hope your steps will take you far enough that the pain won’t matter anymore.

4. Do everything I said and pretend it’s all good enough. Then hope you can do it all fast enough, before you change your mind.

5. You can’t. Not yet. So don’t.

18 Signs That She Likes You

Men have been searching for answers about women since the dawn of time. What do women want? How can one tell when a woman is interested? The behavior and thoughts of women can seem like a complete mystery to men everywhere. To many, women can almost appear as a completely different species at times. It is no wonder that early man worshiped women, and perhaps the earliest idea of a supernatural being was “mother nature,” the goddess which gave birth to all life. In the end however, women are as human as the rest of us, and many signs that a woman is attracted to a man can be easily observed.

#1 She Looks Out For You
When a woman is very attracted to a man, she goes out of her way to show that she cares and wants to ensure his well-being. Part of this is instinctual, forming tight bonds with someone naturally results in a mutual obligation to ensure each other’s safety and comfort. On the other hand, it is a sign of a real strong relationship, one in which two people really value each other’s company.

#2 She Gets Angry or Controlling Over Small Things
A woman might seem needy when she constantly makes a big deal over what a guy might think of as non-important issues, but what she’s really doing is displaying an interest in a man’s life, and striving to improve that existence. By making suggestions and communicating her disapproval of certain habits or decisions in a man’s life, she is proving that she is committed to making a difference and wants to play a large role in “her man’s” daily activities.

#3 She Subconsciously Shows That She’s Fertile
There are many things a woman does subconsciously with her body language that indicates she is fertile. The intent of this behavior is to attract males. This is something which is deeply rooted in human biology. Examples of this behavior can come in many forms. A woman might wear her hair down when in the company of a man that attracts her, or she might tilt her head, which exposes pheromones. A woman could also indicate she is fertile by exposing the soft skin of her hands and wrists, or by the uncontrollable reaction of blood rushing to her face, thereby creating a blushed expression.

#4 She Tells Her Friends or Parents About You
A woman doesn’t tell her friends or parents about a man unless she’s sure that he’s someone who will play a special and unique role in her life. It’s a sign she’s serious about a guy, and that she’s so enamoured by him that she can’t help but tell anyone who will listen all about it. It’s a great sign that a girl has a guy on her mind.

#5 She Wants to Talk To You 24/7
A woman who is very attracted to a guy will constantly try to contact him. This is a sign that a girl is definitely thinking about a guy throughout most of her day. It might even be a sign that a girl is worrying about the status of her relationship with a guy to such an extent that she needs to reaffirm it at every turn. Either way, a girl who wants to talk to a guy 24/7 is undoubtedly highly attracted to him.

#6 The Language of the Purse
Women use their purses to display body language to such an extent that it could be considered a completely unique method of non-verbal communication when compared to other signs of attraction. A women who clutches her purse close to her is indicating her discomfort at being around a particular person or situation. When she holds it loosely, or better yet when she puts it down altogether, it is a sign that she is at ease and available.

#7 She Sets Expectations
From the point of view of a clueless man, it can seem confusing and unforeseen when a woman expects him to treat her in a very serious, intimate manner when it comes to special occasions. This can be especially confusing when a man views that female as only a friend. When a woman requests a man to treat her like a lover on a special occasion, it can seem like something completely out of the blue, especially when they are in what a man assumes to be only a platonic relationship. This is a clear sign that a woman has been fantasizing about a man, and wants to make those fantasies come to life during a special outing together.

#8 She Touches You
When a woman is attracted to a man, she makes any excuse to touch him. Examples of this could include brushing up against him, touching his hands or even play fighting. A stronger example of this is when a woman adjusts a man’s appearance in order to make him look more attractive. This is a clear sign that is eyeing a man up as a potential partner.

#9 Through Specific Body Language
There are so many signs of female attraction that are displayed through body language it is impossible to list them all. One very notable sign of female attraction is the arching of the back. Another very obvious form of body language which is intended to attract males is leaning in towards the male, usually when a woman is having a conversation with a male she is interested in. When a woman chews her lips or becomes fidgety, chances are she’s interested. Also, when a woman crosses her legs and arms, it generally means she is bored and uninterested. Conversely, when a woman keeps her legs uncrossed and her arms visible, it usually means she is attracted and available to a man. On the other hand, a woman crossing her legs in certain situations might actually indicate arousal, especially when a woman points her legs towards a man when she crosses them.

#10 She Uses Words That Are Suggestive and Implicative
A woman is often more aroused by verbal cues than physical ones. When a woman uses seductive wording, and brings up the subject of intimacy, it is a clear sign she is attracted and interested. Phrases that are especially indicative of desire in females are those that include words such as “I want” or “I love.” A woman who is adventurous enough to use seductive phrases in the company of a man is clearly attracted to him.

#11 She Unusually Asks About Your Family
A woman who asks about a man’s family is sometimes seriously considering him as a potential romantic partner. In other situations, this is merely innocent small-talk, so be careful you don’t wrongly identify this as intimate behavior. In many situations, however, the reason that a woman asks these kind of questions is to get a better idea of what kind of person a man is, what kind of family values he has, and whether he will emulate the same family life as the one he grew up in.

#12 She Laughs at Your Jokes Even When They Aren’t Funny and She’s Not Trying to Be Polite
When a woman makes it her imperative to laugh extra hard at all of a man’s jokes, even when a man wasn’t intending to be friendly, it is a clear sign that she’s interested. When a woman reacts to a man’s input in a conversation, she is making it clear that she is engaged with him. This is even more extenuated when a woman and a man are in a group conversation, and a woman diverts all of her attention exclusively towards the man she is attracted to.

#13 She Gets You a Gift or Makes You Things
A woman who really cares about a man will look for any excuse to prove that she has indeed been thinking about him and cares for him. A gift or something similar is a very sweet way for a girl to show her affections. This is especially thoughtful because it exposes a vulnerable side of a woman, who is not afraid to reveal her true desires.

#14 She Plays Hard To Get or Gives You Mix Signals To See How You’d Cared
Don’t give up if a girl is doing the exact opposite of everything that is listed here. A girl might be acting disinterested because she secretly feels such strong desires for a man that she is afraid of revealing her feelings. This is one of the hardest signs to spot, but could mean that a girl is feeling intensely desirous for a guy.

#15 She Speaks the Same “Language” As You or Mirrors You
A girl who is seriously romantically interested in a guy will go out of her way to show that she has a lot in common with him. This could manifest as the sharing of certain inside jokes, or the formation a shared vocabulary, words whose meanings they both understand but no one else does. This is a way for a girl to show a guy that he’s the only one who holds a special place in her heart, that they share a bond that is not found anywhere else in the world.

#16 She Lets You Know She’s Single
A girl who lets a guy know about her relationship status is almost always weighing up her chances of forming a relationship with him. It’s a definite sign of interest, the question itself implies desire. For a girl to ask that question she has to reveal that she is considering a relationship, which is a risk only taken by those who are serious.

#17 She Comes to You for Advice Even When She’s the Type to Not Seek Advice
A girl who constantly asks a guy for advice is clearly interested in him. For a girl to value a guy’s wisdom, she has to respect him. A girl asking a guy for advice is a girl who venerates that guy, who sees him as almost a god, a girl who wants to live their life with his desires in mind.

#18 She Speaks Differently To You Than To Everyone Else
A girl who speaks differently when in the presence of a man clearly is trying to make an impression on that man, and wants him to view her as a potential partner. A girl who tries to make herself seem more feminine around a guy she likes is clearly trying to make him stop seeing her as “just a friend.” It’s a clear sign of attraction.

What would you say are signs that a girl likes you and is not being polite?

When you are in Love you can’t fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams.

Ricky Martin - The Best Thing About Me Is You

I'm as happy as I can be

'Cause I'm allergic to tragedy

So baby, don't say no

I think I'm cool cause your name's on this heart shaped tattoo.

Now the best thing about me is you

Oooooh

(Joss Stone)

My crying days are now history (history)

I had a change of philosophy (philosophy)

I take each day as it comes to me

And I won't take myself all that seriously

So Babe, don't say no

Come on and just say yes

You know it's time to keep it simple

Now best thing about me is you

It's you (whoa oh)

Now the best thing, the best thing

It's true. (whoa oh)

(Ricky Martin and Joss Stone)

Kick off your shoes, lay back, and take a load off

Give me your blues, let me love it away

Nothing to lose, so don't act like such a grownup

Stay out all night in the moonlight with me

Don't say no.

No, no. don't say no.

Just say yes.

Come on and just say yes.

You know it's time to keep it simple

Let's take a chance and hope for the best

Life is short, so make it what you wanna

Make it good, don't wait until mañana

About me is you

“I want some time to breathe. I want long walks in empty parks. I want silence. I want a cold drink on a hot day. I want the sound of a train so far in the distance I can barely hear it. I want a good book and several quiet hours.”

— Bob Marley

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”

- Bernard Meltzer

Happiness is like a kiss. You must share it to enjoy it. 

— It is 2015. Stop romanticizing depression.

“Depression is not Lana Del Rey music, with smeared black eyeliner and tears running down your face. It is not a blood-stained tub, or the blade sitting across from you. It is not being rocked back and forth by a boy as he kisses your head and whispers “I love you,” repeatedly in your ear. Depression is not the dread you feel when the person you love the most doesn’t text you back. Depression is disgusting. It is low and filthy and dirty and it eats you away, bit by bit. Depression is the stale smell of your room and your clothes, because you have no energy to clean anything. It is sitting in the bathtub for hours as you feel that dirty type of clean, letting the hot water run down your body in no aims to stand up and turn it off. It is the hunch in your back and the the defeated slouch in your shoulders, the kind that your parents always try to fix, exclaiming “Sit up straight,” but what good does that ever do. Depression is the hours spent lying in your bed, trying desperately to fall asleep but never being able to. It is your eyes being so heavy-lidded and the circles under them that don’t fade, even after a good nights sleep. Depression is the sinking feeling you get when you enter school and your mind is already set - why would you care about your grades when you don’t even care about your life? It is the darkest kind of dark, the kind that intoxicates your brain and turns your best friends to enemies, your family to people you simply push away so they don’t have to hurt just because you do. It is the raw feeling of emptiness, the kind that gnaws at your very insides and leaves you nothing more than a walking skeleton, incapacitated and incapable of feeling anything but sorrow and sadness for nobody but yourself. Depression is the deepest hole you could ever think of, the only one you could ever think of because you dug it yourself. It is being not only unable, but unwilling to pull yourself up, having the darkness swallow you whole. Depression is not rain. It is being unable to see the sun, even after the rain has passed.”
