Do not take your position lightly. Dating a Yas Kween is a privilege, not a right.

You (eventually) learn that an entire world exists outside of the one in your own head.

What was once an insane and unbelievable thing – “What? They’re engaged?! How? We’re all so young!” – has suddenly become the standard thing amongst people your age, because you’re not twenty-two anymore and this is just what happens.

The last time you attempted to do the smokey eye, it just looked like someone punched you in the face.

Pain is relative, and right now, a desperate desire to love and be loved is the pain that’s taking up the most amount of space in your body.

You feel bad but like, friends don’t let friends wear Crocs.

Meeting your best friend for some late-night drive-thru.

Regardless of how painful that urge is, regardless of how alone you feel, regardless of the fact that you can’t stop thinking about texting them, something inside you knows you shouldn’t do it.

“I gained a sense of self-worth. Then lost it. Then gained it back again. And lost it again. Then gained it back again.”

Dating someone that you can be boring with is not the same thing as dating someone who makes you boring.

These are the moments where it is so easy to become the disease. It takes up such a large space in your mind, because of the worrying and the planning and the anxiety. Often, by accident, this illness becomes the only thing from which you derive your sense of self.

It allows you to wake up every day without feeling like everything’s already been planned out and decided for you.

Maybe everything doesn’t happen for a reason.

Dreams where your teeth are falling out: Experts say this dream could have positive or negative meanings. It can result from the fact that you are growing as a person and/or demonstrate your desire to take better care of yourself, or it can come from anxiety about insecurities, growing older, or huge life changes. Either way, teeth dreams are said to happen often during a time of intense transition.

Waking up and seeing no mysterious bar charges on your credit card bill is a joy that you did not know existed until now.

“Your Monday morning enthusiasm is creating a hostile work environment.”

The Boss just proves, tweet and tweet again, why she’s one of the most sought-after and well-liked female celebrities in the world right now.

A laugh that brings an irrepressible grin to your face every single time you hear it, no matter how sexy or dorky or ridiculous or loud that it is.
