Marry your best friend. I do not say that lightly. Really, truly find the strongest, happiest friendship in the person you fall in love with. Someone who speaks highly of you. Someone you can laugh with. The kind of laughs that make your belly ache, and your nose snort. The embarrassing, earnest, healing kind of laughs. Wit is important. Life is too short not to love someone who lets you be a fool with them. Make sure they are somebody who lets you cry, too. Despair will come. Find someone that you want to be there with you through those times. Most importantly, marry the one that makes passion, love, and madness combine and course through you. A love that will never dilute - even when the waters get deep, and dark.

And I say, find the person who respects you above all else. Someone whose belief in you never wavers, even when they’ve seen you at your lowest and your very worst. A person with whom you need not ever talk because you understand each other without having to, but also someone who can talk you to sleep tirelessly, night after night. (via mwwk)
