Mariana Garcia:
So dear diary,
Here's the synopsis of it all,
My long journey that has finally come to an end,
Cause I have finally found love.
It all started when I was 18,
And it ended gracefully with 23 year old me.
Dated three guys,
One tricked me, One made me lose myself,
And one who loved me.
Love isn't always a easy road,
That something we should all know,
But all the heartbreaks during the race are worth it when you get to the finish line.
That finish line may be with someone you love,
Or maybe it's just you finally accepting you don't need someone to feel good about yourself,
But whatever the reason,
However you got hurt on the way there,
It's all worth it when you finally realized you've reached the end,
Of this journey anyways.
But anyways we should move on,
here's the most important part for all you boys.
These are:
Things You Should Know Before You Say You Love Her:
Be real.
Don't trick us into falling for you by being our dream guy. We know flaws exist, and we don't mind.
At the end of the day, our dream guy is never exactly how we dreamed him.
We are stronger than what we look.
We don't need you by our side. We don't need you to be there every second of the day.
We were born without you. Why can't we live without you?
Don't try to manipulate us into doing things we don't want because we won't leave you, because that's we're you're wrong: We will. Some of us will take longer figuring it out,
but at the end of the day, we don't need you by our side.
We just want you by our side, so please don't take advantage of that.
We need trust.
If you're going to tell her you love her,
You need to trust her and she needs to trust you.
It's a two way street.
We need to make compromises.
It doesn't matter if you like Chinese food and she hates it,
You need to put your differences aside and make compromises.
Compromises doesn't mean one person is always agreeing to the compromises:
Compromises means that sometimes I'll agree, and other times you agree.
Don't tell her this and then leave her.
Trust me, she might forgive but will never forget.
