Romantic love couldn’t be real, he concluded at 14 when a girl in his year asked him to the Sadie Hawkins dance, blush sitting high on her cheeks as she stumbled through her prepared speech. He had seen the look she gave him many times from others in their year. The infatuation, the giggling, the coy shyness. Year 10 love always faded into nothing, and soon two partners were as good as strangers in a matter of weeks. The girl, for what it’s worth, took the rejection in stride, though he could see the prickles of tears welling in her eyes as she turned away from him. The cycle would continue with her, as it does with everyone. Her feelings for Louis will fade until she feels nothing for him, and he becomes another faceless boy in her journey to find her love, even if he didn’t think that love truly existed. Romantic love is a myth, Louis asserts to himself in the mirror every morning. Romantic love is a myth, and he is not in love with Harry Styles. or the five stages of realizing you’ve been in love with your best friend, who definitely doesn’t feel the same, this whole time.

February begins, and with it, the feeling of boundless love. 💙☁️

With her, the world is an open sky—no limits, no edges, just infinite dreams. ✨

My love for you is not a temporary hit of high emotions, my love for you will never fizzle out, my love for you will never wear off. My love for you will forevermore stand firm, forever unwavering, forever steadfast. My love for you has always been and will forever be sustained.

Title: the trouble with secrets

There a few facts Arya Stark knows to be true about herself. She's stubborn. She's brave, sometimes to a fault. She rarely gets nervous.

Oh, and she’s absolutely, irrevocably in love with her best friend, which she was content to keep to herself for the rest of her life, until that stupid e-mail.

So I know this girl. She’s really cute, I’ve known her for a while, and I had a crush on her for the longest time, right?

Well, today she told me something. She sent me a message telling me she likes me. I know, impossible to believe right??

But the thing is.. I now have a girlfriend. We’ve been dating for one year, it’s been really awesome, and yeahhhhh-

But I sorta still like this girl? It was really painful telling her I couldn’t be with her, but I’m happy in this other relationship and I don’t want my current girlfriend to know that I still like her because I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings..

Rii, we’ve been following each other for years and I know you were a band blog when you followed me and now I don’t know how you put up with me and my posts at all. I wouldn’t have it any other way though. You are such a joy to talk to and your posts are just like... comforting to see on my dash most days. I hope you’re doing well!
