(Clicking to page of very distant hot-girl acquaintance) Considering I haven’t talked to this chick in like… five years… It’s pretty weird how often I find myself looking through her pictures.
I’m not naive enough to believe that you’d be proud of all my choices, but I know that you saved my life with your careful (and sometimes intense) warnings.
Do not fret about who loves who more. Love is not a game or a competition. If you think of it that way, you probably won’t be in love for very long.
But we avoid feeling anything because we have more or less been taught that our feelings have lives of their own. That they’ll carry on forever if we give them even a moment of our awareness.
Be pretty, but not too pretty. Be beautiful and ageless, but don’t alter your face or your body too much. Be enough of everything, but not too much of anything.
When my headaches were at their worst, I was also drinking an average of two Starbucks venti sweetened iced coffees a day, one in the AM and one around 4 PM.
At the worst times, it felt like a morbid circus running amok in my mind that I just couldn’t seem to find the exit to.
If there’s such a thing as dating karma, using the “I’m not looking for a relationship right now” excuse is pretty much like handing the gods an engraved invitation to screw you over in the future.
