15. Obsess yourself into a dark, dreary hole of self-loathing.

We all want resolutions as simple as purchasing a plane ticket, updating our “Current City” on Facebook and moving on with our lives, but we forget that our emotional ties run deeper than that.

Here’s to the damsels who pulled themselves out of distress and to the heroines who didn’t wait around to be saved.

I’m texting you this because our generation has whittled interaction down into a series of superficial scripts that we exchange with one another on autopilot but I’m almost okay with the trivialities if they end up leading me to you.

“But then I’d have to put on real pants” is a legitimate excuse that you use to not do things.

This is me accepting that you’re leaving. It’s my acknowledgment that there’s no further argument to make, no angle left to take, no plea or bargain I could wager that could get you to change your mind and stay.

ISTJ – You were probably the hall monitor.

The friend or family member who is always “Just being realistic.”

They were your “someday” person – your lobster.

Stay where you are comfortable for so long that you no longer remember what it feels like to be challenged or to push your own limits.

You’ll know that someone loves you when they do not make excuses.

First of all, congratulations. You’re ahead of the game.

Move in together and subsequently stop hanging out with anybody except each other.

The Myers-Briggs game in Sex And The City was strong.

You will not get over your ex all at once. You’ll get over them through a series of tiny, tender moments that bring you quietly back to yourself.

Date the girl who knows how to trust you, because she learned to trust herself first.

An INFJ with a dream is an INFJ with a plan.

You feel a little bit like they’re studying you.
