Dear Coquette,
How do you know when to let your guard down? How do you know when to stop being a guarded bitch and actually let someone in?
You shouldn’t have a guard. You should have a filter. There’s a huge difference, and I promise, it’s a much better way to live.

“I know he can be an asshole sometimes, but it’s like I’m Carrie and he’s my Mr. Big.”
“I know he’s super overprotective and can be a little jealous, but we’re just like Edward and Bella.”
