6 things my mother never told me

You won't like your name
until you hear someone say it in their sleep.

Never stop texting someone you want to text. 

If you love them at 815am, tell them.

If you still love them at 5pm, tell them again. 

Like wise, don't text someone you don't want to text.
You wouldn't want someone
to text you when they don't really want to either.

You will be scared of all kinds of things,

of spiders and clowns and eating alone, 

but your biggest fear will be
that people see you the way you see yourself 

You will learn how to sleep alone,

how to avoid the cold corners but still fill a bed.

You can love someone and hate them, all at once.
You can miss them till you ache

but still ignore them when they call.
