1.Remember Netflix is always Available for you at all times
Instead of making time for "Bae", you have all the time in the world to just binge watch all of your favorite shows when loneliness hits. Its a wonder that paying just $8.99 a month , can be very useful whenever you need it.There is nothing like the warmth of your bed as you place all your pillows to be the perfect prop for the comfort of your head as you laugh at something you just saw on the screen. Or The feeling of being in your favorite onesies with a cup of chocolate tea next to you in the dark , as you get comfortable and warm to experience all the love,heartbreaks, and turmoils of catching up on all your favorite shows . Scandal ,Vampire Diaries, Teen Wolf,American Horror Story and The Walking Dead anyone? *sips tea*.
At the end of the day , just remember that at least Netflix won't break your heart( well maybe the ending of your favorite show just might break your heart but ),it will always be faithful to you, supplying you with endless episodes of your favorite
shows at all times. You can watch it as much as you want.
But if Netflix doesn't cut it , then..

But until then enjoy and have fun being young, old, silly, crazy and a beautiful you.
