5. If your date mentions they like something you’d consider “lowbrow.” It’s not necessarily mutually exclusive with intelligence.

How to take a proper selfie, which is so much more difficult with a digital camera. What will usually work is just one arm extended above your head, facing forward, and glancing up at the camera with angst. Throw some Evanescence lyrics in the caption and you’re good.

“I think adults should learn that if you have a dream, it’s okay if it doesn’t happen.”

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come.

11. You are only a woman if you are biologically born that way.

“When my father told me he loved me for the first time since I can remember. I didn’t let him see, though.”

How you treat others who can do nothing for you.

He bought ads so when top executives Googled themselves, a message from him would come up first… asking them to hire him.

You shouldn’t replace blindly “knowing” with sound judgment. Use the two in tandem.

The cat will always triumph over the dog.

“There’s no gravity between us our love is automatic… zoom, zoom, zoom make my heart go boom, boom, my supernova girl.” These words mean something to you because everything was Proto Zoa and nothing hurt.

“Honestly, it isn’t a lot of the time. But those moments that are, I think they’re worth waiting for… so I guess that’s my answer. The moments that make everything else worth it.”

Makes the coy outspoken and the outgoing coy.

Don’t entertain people who want to argue irrationally. Just don’t.

Everything is pretend.

You know when people are most cruel? When something hits them, and hits them hard.

And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that’s just fabulous.

5. Make time to cry.
