“Go all in with the sadness like you went all in with the love.”

“I decide I love being single because life is way more efficient without dependents or co-pilots.”

“I remind myself that life is just experience and it’s only my perception that makes it a good or bad experience. And then I try to convince myself that this was a good experience.”

You are not the story you used to tell yourself.

It only counts if you can stare down the shittiest, most despicable parts of yourself and go, ‘Okay. I am going to own these things. I am going to accept that they’re a part of me.’

I don’t want the kind of love that’s so encompassing you forget how to exist outside of it.

Luckily, creating the illusion that you have your life together is now easier than ever.

Guards are there to keep people out because the person behind them isn’t done healing yet. Because they are not done working on themselves. Because they are not ready to dole out love in a healthy and genuine way.

You no longer identify as ‘guarded.’

Being perfectly capable of ‘Relaxing and enjoying life’ – but only after all the items on your to-do list are checked off.

There is no right or wrong in these early morning hours, with the sunshine sliding in between your shoulder blades, your body lying intertwined with mine.

If anyone can survive a horror movie it’s the ISTP.
