Sometimes love simply isn’t enough, and giving it won’t get the things that you so desperately want.

All favorite writers are relevant.

You’d marry them for the benefits and because you know you’re never going to find anyone who loves you as purely and authentically as they do. That’s the harsh reality of having someone so perfect in your life.

If someone feeds you lines to get something from you, that says more about their personality than the fact that you trusted them.

Your field trips were less “let’s go look at art” and more “let’s go support this politically right wing person who compares abortion to genocide”. It was weird.

Everyone want to believe in the idea of a guy who always has good intentions, is patient, listens to your wants and needs. They want to believe that nice guys finish last because assholes eventually get knocked out of the race, and that beta males are more desirable than an alpha.

“Is there something about me that is completely identical to you? Is there something about me that is completely the opposite of you?”

I’m supposed to curse your name, blame you for my problematic summer and my fear of driving to fast. I’m supposed to instinctually flinch when people yell and label myself a survivor of you.

Everything is annoying.

You are the one who chose to put a period at the end of the sentence, so you should stick to that decision. There is no delete space in life, no backspace, no edit undo.

It can be frustrating, when everyone constantly thinks you’re just being silly. And it sometimes makes you repress your actual emotions because you don’t think people will listen if you don’t.

“What happened between the two of you? Why’d you break up?”

There was something about doing it in “non-traditional” locations that seemed to really get my high school boyfriend’s gears turning. The shower? That was the Holy Grail.

Dr. Seuss said it best when he wrote “there’s no one alive who is you-er than you.”

A woman like Hillary Clinton, who has statistically not supported women in telling their stories like you so claim you are behind, does not deserve that pedestal.

A gif for every fight. You’re welcome.

“I’m gonna dye my hair pink…no PURPLE. Should I get bangs?”

One of the biggest and most important things you can learn in life is that it’s possible to adamantly dislike something, but not let it affect your life. Holding grudges and giving into drama is for teenagers and reality show contestants.
