Trick or treat!

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Living alone may not live up to what you thought it would be.

Instead of scrolling through dating apps, scroll through these classical art memes

The key to any happy marriage is trust. The mutual respect that’s required is unmatched to superficial connections, like having fun together or having the same taste in art.

To really make it, both parties must want to, they must want to hear the other side, and they mustn’t sweat the small stuff. Loyalty, respect, and trust will always allow a relationship to go further than one w…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. We never want to feel like a blight to someone’s life, especially when we feel like we’re sacrificing our own to help them.
