love isn't all it's cracked up to be. Take it slow dude. Let her be your world but don't let her run it. You need to control your own life and not let her take root in you. She'll just walk all over your heart.

 If it seems like a really bad idea, it probably is, and if you think you should just say "no, thank you" you probably should. It will save you a lot of regrets in the future.

 Things are going to get rough. They're going to suck and it's going to hurt. Ride it out and don't personalise it. Afterwards, it's going to be better than you ever thought possible.

 Don't change a thing. If you do, you may not end up where I am now, and I'm pretty happy with where I am.

 Shutting off my feelings was the best thing I ever did. I promise it won't hurt anymore.

 Don't start smoking, but if you do, try to quit. But don't quit because somebody else wants you to, do it because you deserve it for yourself. Same goes for drinking, and drugs, and any of the other quick fixes that don't fix anything.

 Follow your heart.

 Love hurts.
