Also forgot to add that no one said anything when 16 year old Hilary duff got together with 25 year old Joel Madden back in 2004.

I was literally 6 years old in 2004 what was I supposed to do

kinda want a relationship kinda don’t ever want to give someone the power to hurt me 

don’t ever let a man talk down to you 

imagine youre sitting next to your dog watching TV and he says exactly one clearly pronounced word in English and you freak the fuck out and he literally never does it again 

im kinda clingy yo like…why you take ten minutes to reply. I missed you. Get back here.

You can be angry about things but still make the conscious decision not to be cruel. When we remind each other to be kind, we’re not saying don’t be mad. There’s a lot of stuff to be mad about right now. But you can still be a kind and patient person. You don’t have to be mean to other people. You can choose.

notes on rekindling romantic relationships: nostalgia is a liar, old habits die hard, don’t confuse familiarity with comfort, sometimes even healed wounds hurt, time doesn’t build trust, growth does not look the same on everyone, listen to the voice in your head, love requires more than love, protect yourself
