I think in life we’re presented with endless opportunities. We come across many roads with many forks and it’s up to us to figure out which ways we want to turn. And for whatever reason, you and I were always picking a different path.

Randomly select “Log out of all devices” on Netflix from another computer and then RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.

So if all feminism is is the belief that men and women should be treated and respected in the exact same way, why and HOW am I still being hit on and asked out by people who do not think of themselves as feminists? And more importantly, why did I continue to date them?

If you weren’t superstitious before, you will be after finding all of this out.

I made the biggest mistake of my life when I saw that line dividing ‘casual’ and ‘falling for you’ and decided to cross it. I saw you and loving you and threw myself into a game where I didn’t know the rules and was ultimately destined to come in last.

You’re close with your parents and you wouldn’t have it any other way. Calling them and talking about anything and everything (and sometimes nothing) is near and dear to your heart.

Remember that admitting she’s been cheated on is ridiculously humiliating. Be gentle.

We talk a lot about moving on, but often we’re doing just that. Just talking about it.

With wanting to express all of your thoughts comes the fear that you’re talking out of turn or saying something you shouldn’t. You’ve made the mistake MANY times and so the worry lingers, even as you grow up.

Just because it’s walking a different route to the office making us a shaky mess and not an immediate, tangible threat doesn’t make the emotion less justified. Emotions are allowed, emotions are okay. Even the bad ones.

Sometimes, we’re just in pain. Sometimes, we just ache. Sometimes, there isn’t a bandaid to put on our gaping wounds. Sometimes, we just bleed.

Don’t waste your time with any of these movies. You deserve better.

I think you’re attractive and would love to get to know you without a screen involved.

If I’m excited about something, if I accomplish something, I’m going to celebrate. I’m going to toast myself and if you can’t toast with me, no champagne for you.

“Every day I feel is a blessing from God. And I consider it a new beginning. Yeah, everything is beautiful.”

I am not heartbroken anymore. Really, I’m not. I’m not just a girl saying that to convince everyone staring at her with inquisitive, intrusive eyes. I’m saying it because it’s the truth.

I’ll just sit reeeeeally still so no one knows how baked I am…

Being kind to yourself is never, ever selfish.
