Love! L’amour! When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie etc. That mystical force, the driving energy behind basically everything that we do. There’s a reason that almost every single song, movie and book surrounds the topic, right? It’s the inexplicable thing that all humans inherently crave. And yet we fail to understand it in the slightest. It’s only harder in the digital age to nail down what them old folk called ‘love’ and navigate the dating game, so let’s turn to tweets for some age-old advice. Or, at least, to cry with company.

He doesn’t text back.
He breaks promises.
He doesn’t instigate conversation or check on you.
He only messages when he needs something.Me: pic.twitter.com/8ZvLKWcmta

Saw a couple holding hands while jogging and it made me hopeful that one day I will meet someone who will hate them with me.
