"I've always been told by my aunt never to fall in love. She never had a reason, not one. When questioned why she would only end up saying, 'Just don't,' before rushing out of the room. I'm here to tell you the exact same advice. There are sixteen reasons I have come across as to why you should never fall in love, and I'm going to share them with you.

There are so many reasons why you shouldn't love. But if you are going to love, make sure that you do it deeply. Make sure you love out of control, if you are going to love you should love like a driver falling asleep at the wheel of a car with broken brakes rocketing down an icey hill. You should do it blindly, love honestly, if you can. You know, if it's possible.

Don't tiptoe on eggshells, dive right in; don't fear it, say 'fuck it' and jump. You two go out and be sure to make stories you can't tell your parents until you're in your late twenties at a thanksgiving party, when you're too old to punish but too young to be ashamed.

You should love whole-heartedly and know then that it's pointless, but make sure that you can tell your future family that it was fun. Because that is what love is supposed to be, in my opinion.

It's supposed to be fun, deep, passionate, terrifying, pure, and sinful wrapped in this massive blanket burrito that's curled up on a queen sized pillow top mattress while watching netflix and sharing eachothers body heat."
