Ella Ceron

She is mature enough to talk about awkward and even difficult things with tact, and look you in the eye as you’re having these conversations. You should do the same for her.

Because sometimes you just need to grab your girls and belt out a few key songs at the top of your lungs.

Think of them when you hear certain love songs, only to freak out because you never realized you were in this deep and how do you get out of this rabbit hole, or are you never going to be able to listen to Drake the same way ever again? (Probably not.)

Reading this post — or really, anything, either on the Internet or in the real world. 60 percent of the world isn’t online, and 26 percent of the world is still illiterate.

The fact of the matter is, your singleness has little to do with things being wrong, and everything to do with the fact that maybe — just maybe — being single is right for your life in the right now.

Tramp stamps, hipbones, rib ink — whatever trend you think says something about us, probably really only means one thing: we liked the way it looked when it was placed there.

Target: Come for the $20 bathing suits, stay for the 4-for-1 on Bounty towels!

Casually mentioning, “Oh, that’s my brother,” to any guy who tried to get a little too close in your presence immediately told him where he stood. (And I know that secretly made you a little proud.)

Those hundreds of miles of coastline mean that playing hooky every once in a while, foregoing store-bought salt spray for real beach hair, and — yes— justifying how you need to buy just one more bathing suit, is all in the name of better health.

All of my best photos involve both you and me, because you actually make me laugh while we’re taking it.

I’m not saying you should willingly run yourself into the ground, but if you can manage to figure out the phoenix-rising-from-the-ashes plan in case you ever need it, well, you’re better off than a lot of people with no exit strategy at all.

Don’t be afraid to tell people that you love them.
