Even though all you've had are abusive boyfriends in the past it gets better. You end up meeting the perfect guy at Starbucks.

 On that bus ride, don't tell him it won't happen because you love his best friend. Trust me, it hurts a lot when he starts dating yours.

 It's okay if you don't get everything you want.

 Enjoy the time you have before your mental illness gets to you. Your life was just fine.

 He's not as charming as you think. You don't need him, and don't let him convince you that you do in a moment of weakness.

 Your mom has some sort of secret Irish future-telling power. She always tells you the right thing to do before you do the wrong thing, and she knows when you aren't going to listen. Listen to her more, she knows what she's talking about.

 It was worth it.

 boys don't always have the best intentions. and trust your heart when he says that 'its not a big deal'. because maybe it is.
