We don’t know what we want. We’re not happy. We feel despondent. We feel hopeless. We’re still young and yet? WE DON’T FEEL YOUNG.

No amount of double holidays or double birthday celebrations could have made up for what you actually wanted all along: a family you could call yours.

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.

I think every day is the day people will stop liking me.

Because I think I should. Because I’m punishing myself for not being good enough, for not being hot, for not being thin.

Question the story you have about yourself which runs on repeat, the story which dictates your behavior. Self-awareness is power.

All your favorite pop songs covered by other pop artists! It’s a little self-congratulatory, but you know, it makes for good music.

When they say that the truth will set you free, what they mean is that you will be free from the burdening weight of having to conceal who you are.

I will love you when you are not you anymore. I will love you when you change. I will love you one day, but not today.

“Why can’t someone just want to have sex with me because of my brain?” is a thought you’ve had more than a handful times.

Love is not a panicked need for each other. It doesn’t say: “I love you because I need you.” It says: “I love you right now and that’s enough.”

People call you a bitch to try to break you, and you know what? You call yourself a Boss Bitch because they’ll never succeed in doing so.

My best friend right now is wine. Wine and french fries. This is all I will ever need in life.

Cuddling is like a prolonged hug and everyone loves hugs. Hugs are necessary to life, just ask a baby.

When you know the only thing that’s going to get you through this holiday season is wine and you are out of wine and you don’t have a car and NOTHING IS OKAY.

Get the urge to call them and say sorry.

You really, really, really know each other now.

People always ask you, “Where do you get your confidence from?” And you look at them kind of stunned like, uhhhhhh? I don’t?
