To The Next Guy I Date, I'm Guarded But Not Broken

I question everyone's motives and intentions, especially yours.

Dear future boyfriend,

If I'm dating you, well then I must like you. I've been through a lot before you came along. I've fallen in and out of love and it has changed me. I'm stronger now, more logical, and not nearly as trusting as I use to be. I've been hurt over and over again so don't be too upset if I don't believe you when you say, "I will never hurt you." I've heard it all before.

I'm not broken, im guarded. I'm skeptical now. I question everyone's motives and intentions, especially yours. I've realized most good things don't last, so I try not to get too attached. I prepare myself for the worst so that it doesn't hurt as much when it happens. You might think I'm heartless sometimes, but I've just adapted to guard my heart better.

I'll pretend like I don't care at times, but that's never the case. I care too much, that has always been my biggest problem. You'll have to earn my trust, I no longer give it out for free. If you lose my trust, earning it back will be a long, hard road for you.

I have a big heart, but I no longer wear it on my sleeve like I use to. However, once you've earned a place in my heart, it's yours forever.

Yours truly,

The girl with a guarded heart

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
