What’s better than being lonely and sad on a day of love? Getting drunk and being sad with your other single friends! Alcohol always makes everything better, it’s proven!!! (JK JK JK)

Those few pounds you can never seem to lose? Yeah, those pounds are your dinner dates with friends, your drinks on a Friday after work, that extra piece of pizza you’re craving – those extra pounds are you. They make you who you are and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Act like people’s ugly babies are cute for the sake of their feelings.

1:36 PM: You instantly regret asking questions about last night because now you’re even more embarrassed and hate yourself even more.

It sounds beautiful, doesn’t it? To unpack your life and make a home out of someone else’s heart, to settle down and understand what everyone means when they say home isn’t a place, it’s a person. But they never talk about what happens when that person leaves.

I need them to discover they need each other forever and ever, and I need Mickey to come back, for my sanity (which yes, I understand makes me sound insane because it’s JUST a TV show).

Take an hour of your day to do something you enjoy, but never feel like you have time for.

You need those people in your life, the ones who make forever seem too short. But the truth is, we didn’t get forever. We only get a few years before life leads us down different paths and we wake up alone wondering how we got there.

You don’t need to justify your choices or decisions to anyone. If you want to do something, do it. If you fail that’s great, at least you tried to go after something you want, unlike everyone else who is still sitting on their parents couch.

A love that is born in loneliness is not a love that is destined for growth – the roots are weak and longevity is hopeless.

Be honest, you’re not really putting your volunteer work on social media to show people that you care, you’re putting it up there so people can comment and talk about how wonderful you are for spending two hours picking up trash while you were probably miserable the whole time.

People put being in a relationship on a pedestal. People act like if you are single that there must be something wrong with you, that you must not be enough, that you are unlovable, but all of that is bullshit.

It’s okay if you don’t know what you’re doing with yourself and your life, it’s okay if you’ve messed up in your past because your past doesn’t define you and neither do your mistakes. You are so much more than the decisions you used to make.

Sometimes you just can’t fix all the broken pieces, no matter how much you want to save them. Sometimes things are too crushed and damaged to be put back together because not everything that’s broken is meant to be fixed.

I hope I will have loved more than I’ve lost.

If you’re not doing something that makes you happy then you’re wasting your life.

If I could not fail what would I do? Is fear of failure the only thing holding me back right now from achieving that goal?

There is no right or wrong way to live.
