I Love, Therefore I Am

I'm 21 years old.
I'm a senior at Smith College majoring in neuroscience, minoring in chemistry and fulfilling pre-med requirements--pediatric neurosurgery, here I come.
I love to laugh.
I love my friends.
I love my family.
I love my adorable little nephews and niece.
I love movies, especially war and sports movies for some reason.
I love to read.
I am an incredibly random person.
I am a hopeless romantic.
Oh and I have a pretty amazing boyfriend.
Life is pretty freakin' good.

The messages you received from your family or your childhood experiences may have caused you to believe that assertiveness is unacceptable or even dangerous. Practice saying the following: I have the right to be treated with respect by others. I have the right to express my feelings and opinions. I have the right to say no without feeling guilty. I have the right to ask for what I want. I have the right to make my own mistakes. I have the right to pursue happiness.

Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made or dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused.

People take different roads seeking fulfillment, and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost.

STOP BEING SO DAMN ATTRACTIVE BECAUSE IT’S DISTRACTING ME. (+)

Fill your heart with secrets but the only way to read them is if you break your heart. 

i will forever reblog this

i need me one of these.

OMG I WANT ONE

i think every couple should get one and fill it with the little things they love about each other. and then if they’re fighting throw it at a wall and read all the little things that come out and hopefully that will remind them to love again. 

asdfghjkl reblogging for that ^
