There's 17 things I learned when I was 17:
1. People will promise to never leave you. They will. It's okay to be sad when they do.
2. It's always okay to cry. Always. Find a bathroom, burry your face in your pillow. Cry in the car. Cry when you need to.
3. Boys will flirt with you for a while and then ignore you. Then, they will flirt with you some more. It will be confusing. You have every right to stop putting up with it.
4. Pay attention to what people say when they're angry. When you make up and they tell you they didn't mean any of it, know that they did. Also know that they wish they didn't. Forgive them.
5. Never pretend to be someone you're not. If you don't like tea and classic novels, don't act like you do to impress people. If you don't want to wear leather jackets and combat boots, don't wear them to please someone else.
6. People will be mean to you: they will spread lies, call you names and talk about you behind your back. Eventually you will realize that it's petty and stupid and not worth your time. You'll be right. Move on with your life.
7. Your friends will not always be there for you. When you really need to talk, they will sometimes not want to hear ir. That's okay. Take a deep breath and remember all the times you felt the same way. Exhale.
8. You will wait and wait for your first kiss and your first date and your first relationship. The anticipation will kill you. You will keep trying to find the right person in everyone you meet. Relax. The best things happen unplanned.
9. Enjoy being young. Love that everything is spontaneous. As you get older, things become more and more scheduled out. Embrace the fact that you aren't there yet.
10. Tell people how you feel. It will be terrifying in some cases and gratifying in others. It will create relationships and ruin them. But speak you mind, even if your voice shakes, because your thoughts may never otherwise be heard. 
11. Sleep. If you go to bed late, sleep in. If you're still tired when you wake up, go back to bed. If you can't stay awake during the day, take a nap. Sleeping is a foolproof way of getting rid of your problems for a little while. Utilize it.
12. Talk to people. Talk to your sister about the guy she likes. Talk to your mom about her childhood. Talk to your dad about his favourite books. Talk to your grandparents about their families. Talk to your friends, talk to your pets, talk to the cute waitress at the restaurant. Learn things from them. Be inspired.
13. Always bring a sweater. Even if you think it won't be cold.
14. Try new things. Eat a new food, try a new kind of juice, switch up the way you dress. You never know what you might end up loving. Life can get boring. Mix it up a bit
15. Take care of yourself. Wash your hair with that good smelling soap you love. Eat fruits and vegetables. Drink lots of water. Go for long walks in pretty parks.
16. School is important. Try your hardest. If you don't get something, ask for help. Show your teachers that you're willing to work hard and when it comes time to apply to collegues, you'll be glad you did.
17. There will always be someone prettier, smarter, funnier or more popular than you. The beauty of it is that it isn't a competition.

Estamos conociéndonos rápidamente y dejándonos ir a la misma velocidad. Damos nuestros datos y los escondemos igual de rápido. Constantemente nos conectamos y desconectamos. Rechazamos cualquier cosa que parezca remotamente una cita o cualquier tipo de situación donde alguien podría resultar dañado. Pero, ¿por qué? ¿de dónde salieron todos estos rechazos? ¿cuándo nos convertimos en una generación que no termina nada¿ ¿cuándo empezamos a rendirnos a mitad de camino sólo porque preferimos irnos a casa que ver lo que podría estar esperándonos al otro lado? ¿cuándo dejamos de querer jugar y nos empezamos a convertir en esos niños que sólo miran el juego? En algún momento del camino nos volvimos menos atrevidos, con menos confianza y menos agallas. En algún momento del camino decidimos que era más fácil rechazar a las personas que darles una oportunidad:
1. Tenemos miedo.
Es más fácil dormir por las noches si sabes que te alejaste. Es más fácil decir que fuiste tu quien terminó. Es más fácil dañar a alguien antes de que esa persona tenga la oportunidad de hacerte daño a ti. Pero, ¿es mejor estar solo y perder oportunidades o es mejor arriesgarse a sufrir un poco?
2. Nunca es el momento indicado.
¿Cuándo es el momento indicado para conocer a alguien? ¿cuándo es el momento indicado para tener una relación? Noticias de último minuto: no existe el momento indicado para enamorarse. O sucede o no sucede. No pasa cuando estás lista financieramente o cuando estás emocionalmente preparada. No sucede cuando has decidido que es el momento y todo está en orden. Sucede cuando no estás listo. Sucede cuando tu vida está en caos y eres un puto desastre.
3. Pensamos que son demasiado buenos para nosotros.
Asumir que alguien es demasiado bueno para nosotros es sacar el corazón de tu pecho y entregarlo en bandeja de plata. ¿Por qué estás cediendo todo el poder? Todos somos iguales, especialmente en el amor. Sólo porque ella puede que sea la más guapa con la que has estado o él el chico más apuesto que conoces no significa que merezcan tu miedo. Rechazar a las personas porque tienes miedo de que te hagan daño es como retirarse antes de que comience la vida.
4. Ocultamos el entusiasmo por alguien.
La opinión de los amigos y desconocidos se ha convertido en una opinión válida en esta nueva cultura de citas que hemos creado. Solemos ocultar muchos datos de las relaciones que tenemos para evitar que se nos vea demasiado entusiasmados. Así evitamos que nos digan "te lo dije" si luego todo termina. Pero cuando se trata de amor, eso no existe. Si esa persona te hace feliz o podría llegar a hacerte feliz, entonces, ¿por qué tienes que ocultarlo? ¿por miedo a que salga mal?
5. Vimos algo y no lo podemos olvidar.
Ya sea un pequeño tic en su ojo o una risa extraña. Nos gusta encontrar algo que nos dé la razón para alejarnos. Porque todos estamos buscando la perfección y la perfección no existe.


- Candela Duato.

La inseguridad es un sentimiento que se transmite, algo que se nota, la gente puede verlo, ya sea en tu forma de caminar, de actuar o incluso de hablar. Para evitarla debes tener clara una máxima: nada en tu vida es imposible, querer es poder. Nadie debe hacernos dudar del camino elegido, sino ser fuertes y positivas en todo momento; porque si sabemos cuál es nuestra meta, es cuestión de seguir adelante sin tambalearse. Nadie dijo que la vida fuera fácil.

En algún momento te darás cuenta que has hecho demasiado por alguien, que el siguiente paso sólo puede ser pararse. Dejarlo solo y alejarte. No es que estés renunciando o que no lo hayas intentado con suficientes fuerzas. Es que debes entender que has sobrepasado la línea de la determinación hacia la desesperación. Lo que es verdaderamente tuyo, tarde o temprano lo será, y lo que no lo es, no importa lo mucho que te esfuerces, nunca lo será.

I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same as making a "life". I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

El otro día, volviendo en tren de visitar a una amiga y sin Internet en en el móvil, me puse a pensar y a analizar mis días. Es gracioso la de ideas que se te pasan por la cabeza cuando estás aburrida y así es como nació esta: "Nos pasamos la vida esperando. Esperando a que suene el despertador, esperando a que se nos abran los ojos, esperando a que salga el agua caliente, esperando a que nos haga efecto el suavizante. Seguimos esperando a que el pelo se nos seque, a que el enjuague bucal elimine las bacterias, a que se nos sequen las uñas o simplemente a que se abra la puerta automática para salir de casa. Cuando empezamos el día, seguimos esperando. Esperamos a que nos llegue el correo, a que nos respondan a ese menaje, a que el profesor llegue, a que la clase se acabe, a que se prepare la comida o a que incluso se enfríe para poder comernosla. Después esperamos a que sea una hora determinada para empezar a estudiar o para salir a correr. Al acabar el día, cuando pensamos que tenemos la mente en blanco y que no estamos esperando a nada, seguimos esperando. Esperamos a que nuestro programa favorito empiece o a que se acaben los anuncios y después, esperamos a que se acabe para poder irnos a dormir y empezar un nuevo día. Un nuevo día lleno de esperas, lleno de momentos quietos, momentos en los que no estamos  haciendo nada más que esperar. ¿Alguna vez te has dado cuenta de la cantidad de minutos, horas o incluso días que has desperdiciado esperando? ¿Mi consejo? Deja de esperar. Deja de ver el tiempo pasar y no aprovecharlo. Se nos echa encima. Un día te levantas por la mañana y tu mayor deseo es que el Ratoncito Perez te haya dejado dinero debajo de la almohada y al día siguiente estás pensando en ese examen tan importante para acabar la carrera o en atender a tus hijos porque están llorando. No sé. Siento que los días pasan y muchos de ellos sin más, sin un sentido, sin un algo que los haga especiales y memorables y eso no debería de ser así. Nos convencemos de que nuestra vida será eterna, de que duraremos por los siglos de los siglos, pero lo que no tenemos en cuenta es que todo tiene fecha de caducidad. Que igual que hoy estás feliz y sano, mañana tu familia y tus amigos pueden estar llorando tu muerte. Con esto no pretendo dar miedo ni mucho menos crear tristeza, lo que pretendo es que la gente se dé cuenta de que sólo tenemos una vida, una sola para poder vivir todas aquellas cosas que quieres conocer, descubrir o sentir y que debemos aprovechar cada segundo de nuestro día para hacerlas posible"

I was, but then I realized that I was holding on to something that didn't exist anymore. That the person I missed didn't exist anymore. People change. The things that we like and dislike change. And we can wish they wouldn't all day long, but that never works

Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. 
You probably can't. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie. Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. Man alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.

You're not what you look like, you're the music you listen to, the shows you watch, the art you make, the flowers in your hair, your favourite blanket. You're not the pimple on your nose or the pudge on your stomach. You're not your thighs or your teeth. You're the colour of your hair, you're your favourite band, you're the mismatch socks you wear and your favourite sweater. You're what you love, you're not what you look like or the body you are in.

It happens to 
everyone as they grow up. You find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that people you've known forever don't see things the way you do. So you keep the wonderful memories, but find yourself moving on

You're going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it's always their actions you should judge them by. It's actions, not words, that matter

There will come a time when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that’s what everyone else does.

There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.

I think I think too much. I worry over things that have yet to come, wasting time lingering over the future so much that I miss out on the joys of the present. I need to stop, I need to stop being this over-analytic, paranoid little girl; I need to start to be myself. Because I'm sick of missing out on the joys of this life, worrying over such nonsense - things that may not even ever happen

No asumas ni supongas nada que no hayas comprobado. Si tienes cualquier duda (por muy pequeña que sea) aclárala. Si sospechas algo, pregunta. Hacer suposiciones te lleva a inventar historias increíbles que sólo envenenan tu alma y que, con frecuencia, no tienen ningún fundamento. Cuando creemos algo, suponemos que tenemos la razón hasta el punto de llegar a destruir nuestras relaciones por defender nuestra posición. Suponemos que todo el mundo ve la vida del mismo modo que nosotros. Suponemos que los demás piensan, sienten, juzgan y maltratan como nosotros hacemos. El día que dejes de hacer suposiciones, te comunicarás con claridad, libre de veneno emocional.

I know today is Monday and you assume it's going to suck, but according to statistics, there will be over 5.000 weddings, 10.000 childbirths and 42 million hugs occurring today throughout the United States. Also today, there will be at least 4 people that will win the multimillion dollar lotterie, 600 people will get promotions at work and 3.000 people will lose their virginity. There will also be 600 dogs adopted, 35.000 balloons sold and 800.000 skittles sold. Plus, the words "I love you" will be said over 9 million times. So again, I know today is Monday and you assume it's going to such but just smile because according to statistics, it should actually be a really nice day

At this age, everything is changing. Day by day we don't notice, but just look back over the last year and you will realize everything has. People you thought were going to be there before aren't, and people you never imagined you'd be speaking to are now some of your closest friends. Life makes little sense, and the more we grow the less sense it will make. So make the most of it now, before it all changes once again, because in the near future, all of this is going to be only memories.

I wanna talk to someone new. Someone interesting. I wanna start fresh from hello and get to know every little detail about them. Someone who will talk to me in the middle of the night and who will make me smile. There doesn't have to be an attraction. Just someone to explore. Someone who wants to figure me out.

"Para terminar, matización importante. No confundirse. Sonreír no tiene nada que ver con reír. Simplemente comparten letras. La sonrisa crece. La risa estalla. La sonrisa calla. La risa berrea. La sonrisa escucha. La risa habla. Pero sí se puede sonreír incluso cuando se llora. Con eso está todo dicho. De cualquier modo, si hay algo que realmente me fascina del acto de sonreír es lo mucho que se obtiene frente a lo poco que cuesta. Lo poco que abunda frente lo gratis que es. Lo bien que conozco el teorema y lo poco que me lo sé."

- Risto Mejide

Y no sé, quizás necesitamos a alguien que nos haga saber que no salimos tan mal en las fotografías y que el invierno no es tan triste como parece, pero al final es con el invierno con quien más nos identificamos, porque es agua acumulada en nubes, como nosotros acumulamos lágrimas por dentro y caen cuando ya no soportamos el peso. Y quizás nos hemos ido acostumbrando a pensar que todo irá de mal en peor y que la última llave no nos llevará a ningún lado. Y que muchas veces tenemos esa necesidad de querer que alguien entre a nuestra vida accidentalmente y cure nuestras heridas que por mucho tiempo han estado abiertas, que amortigüe la caída cuando decidimos saltar de nuestros miedos y sane  nuestras inseguridades con cada mimo. Es que lo inesperado es lo mejor que nos puede suceder, porque sucede lo mejor. Y lo mejor no es una cosa, sino una persona que nos dibuje una sonrisa en ese cielo gris, que por años enteros ha estado lloviendo sin parar y ha inundado nuestros pensamientos. Tenemos la esperanza de que en cualquier momento aparecerá: con una sonrisa tan blanca como la leche y tan brillante como la luz del sol en verano. Y cuando menos lo esperemos, cuando todas las posibilidades se agoten para encontrar a la persona que tanto deseamos que llegue, cuando ya no creamos en la magia del amor ni en la magia de la poesía, entra en nuestra vida de la forma menos imaginada para hacer que volvamos a creer en alguien.

- Benjamín Griss

Cuando somos más jóvenes somos presionados por un sistema muy absurdo: "estudia una carrera, termínala, busca un trabajo, ahorra dinero para un coche, ahorra para una casa, cásate trabaja, trabaja, trabaja hasta morir sin saber que viviste". ¿Qué hay de viajar?, ¿de conocer mundo?, ¿de aquellos sueños de ganarse la vida haciendo lo que uno ama? La juventud necesita estar educada, pero no se puede confundir una carrera con una vida, quien lo hace así termina por tener un corazón conformista e infeliz. Tenemos que invertir el tiempo en nosotros mismos para conocernos, para descubrirnos antes de que la sociedad intente ponernos una venda de miedos en nuestras ideas. Vivimos en un mundo donde se nos enseña que es más importante hacer dinero que hacernos personas. Olvidamos el corazón, lo maravilloso de nuestra mente, la capacidad de asombrarnos. Es triste vivir así, pero es más triste saberlo y continuar engañándonos.

 

"But your best friend is still your best friend. Even from half a world away. Distance can't sever that connection. Best friends are the kind of people who can survive anything.. And when best friends see each other again, after being separated by half a word and more miles than you think you can bear, you pick up right where you left off. After all, that's what best friends do."

I guess our parents stayed together simply because they didn't have 1000 other people following them or liking their pictures at their disposal when their marriage or relationship got hard. Nowadays, when our relationship hits the rocks we can just log on and get high off of this false sense of security and appreciation. We value our worth based on comments and inbox messages filled with colourful words that have no depth. Meanwhile, the person who loves you when there is no filter on your face becomes an option and the rest of the world who just sees your representative becomes priority. Don't lose what is real chasing behind what only appears to be.

"One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I wear colours that I really like, I wear makeup that makes me feel pretty, and it really helps. It doesn't have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see. Your body is your temple, it's your home, and you most decorate it."

Things that my parents forgot to teach me:

1. You are stronger than you realise
2. You are also crueller than you realise
3. The smallest words will break your heart
4. You will change. You’re not the same person you were three years ago. You’re not even the same person you were three minutes ago and that’s okay. Especially if you don’t like the person you were three minutes ago
5. People come and go. Some are cigarette breaks, others are forest fires
6. You won’t like your name until you hear someone say it in their sleep
7. You’ll forget your email password but ten years from now you’ll still remember the number of steps up to his flat
8. You don’t have to open the curtains if you don’t want to
9. Never stop yourself texting someone. If you love them at 4 a.m., tell them. If you still love them at 9.30 a.m., tell them again
10. Make sure you have a safe place. Whether it’s the kitchen floor or the Travel section of a bookshop, just make sure you have a safe place
11. You will be scared of all kinds of things, of spiders and clowns and eating alone, but your biggest fear will be that people will see you the way you see yourself
12. Sometimes, looking at someone will be like looking into the sun. Sometimes someone will look at you like you are the sun. Wait for it
13. You will learn how to sleep alone, how to avoid the cold corners but still fill a bed
14. Always be friends with the broken people. They know how to survive
15. You can love someone and hate them, all at once. You can miss them so much you ache but still ignore your phone when they call
16. You are good at something, whether it’s making someone laugh or remembering their birthday. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that these things don’t matter
17. You will always be hungry for love. Always. Even when someone is asleep next to you you’ll envy the pillow touching their cheek and the sheet hiding their skin
18. Loneliness is nothing to do with how many people are around you but how many of them understand you
19. People say I love you all the time. Even when they say, ‘Why didn’t you call me back?’ or ‘He’s an asshole.’ Make sure you’re listening
20. You will be okay
21. You will be okay.

The game of chess says everything about men and women. The King has to take things step at a time, while the Queen can do whatever the hell she wants.

My brain has no heart. My heart has no brain. That's why when I speak my mind I seem heartless and when I do whats in my heart I seem thoughtless.

You have only seen yourself two times: taking a picture and looking at the image of yourself staring at the mirror. You don't get to see the way your eyes light up when you talk about something you love, and you can never see how beautiful you look when you really smile. It's really kind of sad that you actually never get to see yourself but I can promise you, I will be there everyday to tell you what I see.

Ladies: don't take off your panties because he called you beautiful, take them off because he loves you. Don't open your legs because he said you'd make a good mother, open them because he is ready to be a father. Don't take him home because he gave you a ride but because he treats you like a queen. Now ladies don't push him away because he has no money, hold him close because to another woman he is honey. Now don't go punishing him because another man hurt you, he is only trying to help you heal. Don't stay up all night wondering where to find a good man because good men are not found, they find you 

- Will Smith.

It's easy to take off your clothes and have sex. People do it all the time. But opening your soul to someone, letting them into your spirit, thoughts and fears, future, hopes, dreams... that's being naked.

You don't ever have to feel guilty about removing toxic people from your life. It doesn't matter whether someone is a relative, romantic interest, employer, childhood friend, or a new acquaintance - You don't have to make room for people who cause you pain or make you feel small. It's one thing if a person owns up to their behaviour and makes an effort to change. But if a person disregards your feelings, ignores your boundaries and continues to treat you in a harmful way, they need to go.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition

One day you're gonna want her. That girl that knew she wasn't perfect, but tried to be for you. That girl who wanted nothing more than to be there for you and loving you was the only way she could. The girl who sees your flaws, but values them as much as your strengths. That girl who still can't bring herself to hate you, even though you probably deserve it. The girl that should have you, but doesn't.

If you ever see a bad picture of yourself just think about sunsets. Have you ever tried to take a picture of a sunset with a crappy camera? It turns out like shit. I mean that could be the most beautiful sunset you've ever seen in your life and the photo looks gross. That doesn't mean the sunset isn't breathtaking, it just means the camera can't contain it's beauty. You are a gorgeous motherfucking sunset, never forget that!

We can't jump off bridges anymore because our iPhones will get ruined. We can't take skinny dips in the ocean because there is no service on the beach and adventures aren't real unless they're on Instagram. Technology has doomed the spontaneity of adventure and we're helping destroy it every time we Google, check-in and hashtag

Enamorarse. Reírse hasta que te duela. Una ducha caliente. Nadie delante de ti en el supermercado. Un mensaje. Escuchar la lluvia caer. Un café caliente. Una llamada. Los viajes en coche. Tener un sueño bonito. Ganar un desafío. Tomar de la mano a alguien que quieres. Oír las risas de tus hijos. Encontrarte por la calle con un viejo conocido. Ver amanecer. Hacer un regalo. Despertar y ver que aún te quedan horas para dormir. Escuchar de manera casual a alguien que dice algo bonito de ti. Eso es vivir...

Be happy for no reason, like a child. If you are happy for a reason, you're in trouble because the reason can be taken from you

"One day, he's going to know. He'll know your birthday, your middle name, where you where born, your star sign, and your parents names. He'll know how old you were when you learnt to ride a bike, how your grandparents passed away, how many pets you had, and how much you hated going to school. He'll know your eye colour, your scars, your freckles, your laugh lines and your birth marks. He'll know your favourite book, movie, candy, food, pair of shoes, colour and song. He's going to know why you're awake at 5am most of the nights, where you were when you realised you'd lost a good friend, why you picked up the razor and how you managed to put it down before things went to far. He's going to know your phobias, your dreams, your fears, your wishes and your worries. He's going to know about your first heartbreak, your dream weeding, and your problems with your parents. He'll know your strengths, weaknesses, laziness, energy, and your mixed emotions. He's going to know about your love for mayonnaise, your dreams of being famous when you were five, your need to quote any film you know all the way through, and your fear of growing older. He'll know your bad habits, your mannerisms, your stroppy pout, your facial expressions, and your laugh like it's his favourite song. The way you chew, drink, walk, sleep, fidget and kiss. He's going to know that you've already picked out wedding flowers, baby names, tiles for the bathroom, bridesmaid dresses, and the colour of your bedroom walls. He's going to know, get annoyed at and then accept that you leave clothes everywhere, take twenty minutes to order a Starbucks, have to organize your DVD's alphabetically and check your horoscope... just in case. He'll know your McDonald's order, how many sugars to put in your coffee, how many scoops of ice cream you want, and that you need your sandwiches cut into triangles. He's goint to know how you feel without you telling him, that you need a wee from a look on your face, and that you're crying without shedding tears, He's going to know all of it. Everything. You, from top to bottom and inside out. From learning, from sharing, from listening, from watching. He's going to know every single thing there is to know, and you know what else? He is still goint to love you. 

I wanna go back to the generation where a guy had to get permission from the girl's parents to ask her out. I wanna go back to the generation where a guy would physically call her and talk to her, not text. I wanna go back to the generation where your first kiss would be with someone you've been dating for months, not hookup with a guy you meet in a club. I wanna go back to the generation where a guy would give you his varsity jacket. I wanna go back to the generation where a girl can get any guy just by wearing a t-shirt, jeans and a pair of sneakers. I wanna go back to the generation where the guy wanted the girl, not always just the sex. I wanna go back to the generation where couples slow danced, not grind. I wanna go back to the generation where love actually made sense.
