An Excerpt in
Learning About Love
Lianna Bousquet
Two, the truth.
If you are set on being with someone
do not trust your instincts
“Run away from them”
can be interpreted as
“Run towards them”
when translated from
Sane, to
In Love
by Google
Stop tucking red flags into your purse
next to half full café punch cards
If while with friends in a café
they rip off
one of your fake eyelashes
you spent twelve fucking minutes to put on,
you did not look
“Stupid and absolutely ridiculous”
like they made you feel,
don’t believe them
leave them,
before it gets worse,
I promise it will.
If your first love
bans you from
spending time with certain people or
aesthetics you love
that they think are
“Stupid and absolutely ridiculous”
Leave.
