Where Is The Line Between Intuition & Assumption? | Why Are We Like This?

To all they boys I thought I loved before… And anyone who has ever believed their intuition is broken – It’s NOT. She just can’t go on existing, unchecked…

Things were going so well… Until they weren’t. ADULTING. This is what we wished for, wasn’t it? Real talk though if we weren’t tested, we wouldn’t grow. So I will accept you shitty times because I know what comes after…
