Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels, we’re told, but how do we know? It doesn’t feel like we want it to, because it doesn’t make us happy. It never will.

You will be comfortable, but will still know struggle.

Someone once told me that we teach others how to treat us, and it’s true.

Yes, you read that right. I do not hate Valentines Day. Oh sure, I groan along with everyone else when the subject comes up, pretend it’s such an annoyance, but I’m lying.

2014 is over, and it’s already been 2015 for a week. A week of the new year is already gone. My gosh, we’ve come a long way.

On Wednesday you take the jagged scratch from being broke out to a cheap matinee movie, just you and your scratch, and maybe you cry at being alone, but it makes you feel better at the end.

You’re aware divorce isn’t an option right? We’re going to do anything to make this work so buckle up.

We can be anything we want to be inside of our heads.

We have become chronic apologizers.

Let’s face it: We take people for granted. Maybe we don’t mean to. Life is busy, life is hard, and life doesn’t always leave room for keeping up with the lives of others.

We don’t always want to hear the truth.

I love the things that scare me – even you.
