Love should be patient. Love should be kind. Love should be beautiful. Love should be hopeful. Love should be growth. Love should be learning. Love should never hurt. Love should: thoughtcatalog.com/megan-min…

Do not shy away from the magic you wish to create. Do not diminish the dreams you wish to build. Own them, even if nobody else understands them. After all, they don’t need to understand them—they are not for them, they’re for you: thoughtcatalog.com/megan-min…

It’s ok that you don’t want a casual kind of love. It’s ok that you want someone to lean on and someone to love on. It’s ok that you want someone to live with, not exist with: thoughtcatalog.com/megan-min…

3. Love is there in the moments you call your best friends when your heart is wounded. It’s there when they show up at your door with pizza and beverages and already know which movies to stream. See how they show up for you? That’s love: thoughtcatalog.com/megan-min…

Let yourself break free of the things you think you’re supposed to do – and let your imagination, your heart, your intelligence, and your determination set your course: thoughtcatalog.com/megan-min…

Hear me when I say it’s okay to ask for help. And if we want our young people to understand and practice this, we must practice it ourselves. It doesn’t make you weak, it doesn’t make you lazy, it doesn’t make you less than. It makes you human. thoughtcatalog.com/megan-min…

Say goodnight and say good morning. We take these utterances for granted, but to be able to say them each day, to the ones we love, is a gift.

Who are the writers that changed the way you think about the world, and your own heart?

Your vulnerability does not decrease your value.

Christmastime in NYC is affirmation that magic does exist.

7. Love is a gift. I hope you remember that, and I hope you learn to love yourself better, too. Love is a two way street, something that needs cultivation, patience, and honesty. Never forget that you deserve that kind of love thoughtcatalog.com/megan-min…

6. I hope you stay still long enough to appreciate the little moments of life. Not everything needs to be documented and posted; its okay to keep things private and to make memories that last only in your mind. thoughtcatalog.com/megan-min…
