We were so thin and beautiful at 17. Break up with that guy you just met and live out your youth (trust me that 3-year relationship is not worth it!). You meet an amazing person later.

 There are many who didn't pay attention to their lessons and they're looking back and realizing they're idiots. Thank you Ms. Schuster.

 Yes, being "tough" and keeping everyone out will keep you from having your heartbroken, but you'll never truly be satisfied.

 Your relationship with the asshole your dating? It only gets worse. Dump him. Believe me, you CAN and WILL do better :)

 DO NOT test him. He loves you, just believe it. Getting him back will be the hardest thing you'll ever do so don't let him go.

  Love is not supposed to hurt. If it does, it isn't love. So let him go, a better man is waiting for his turn.

 Pain is temporary. Emotional anguish doesn't have to become physical pain. He truely loves you and even if that too is temporary, enjoy it while you can.

 Everyone fucks up at some point. I bet you $20 you will too. Learn to forgive and don't be bitter for too long, or you'll end up still bitter and alone.
