what my mommy told me...
1. give it up. it'll come back.
2. leave them be. they'll miss you.
3. you can't save everyone. but everyone has at least one person they will not stop trying for.
4. sometimes you have to get mad.
5. sometimes, when you're home alone, lock the doors... and turn off the phone.
6. write it down

what my daddy told me...
1. if you aren't first on his mind...
2. if he ever disappears on purpose so you can't find him...
3. if he ever puts a habit or hobby before your needs...
4. if he takes care of himself better than he takes care of you...
5. if he doesn't have the balls to admit to you when he's scared (bored, lonely, in need of something or genuinely angsty)....
6. if he isn't willing to stop something you don't like or start something you do just because you ask...
you don't need him, babe. he doesn't deserve you.
