I feel bad for cringing so hard at this video, because I want to be open-minded.

You are not afraid of being single, and aren’t eager to get into a relationship just for the sake of being in one.

The best friend anyone can have is a good chef.

In my mind, “girls” were a squirming mass of heavily-applied makeup, vapid thoughts about The Bachelorette, and catty disputes over one another’s boyfriend.

Oh my god.

It is humiliation, self-loathing, and endless questioning over why, exactly, you weren’t good enough.

You’ve lost weight!

When I hear 2 Chainz musing about how much he loves them strippers, I can’t help but agree with his tastes.

There is always something that you will look back on and cringe at, if only because the human body isn’t perfect, much less so when it’s under the unpredictable lights of someone else’s bedroom.

Whenever you are in a new place, the local Starbucks is always the touchstone of familiarity and comfort around which your trip can revolve.

It doesn’t automatically mean that the other person feels the same way.

I, too, was even branded “unfeminist” for unconditionally bopping around to the undeniably catchy tune.

Finishing a book that leaves you feeling like you’ve just made a whole group of new friends that you will keep with you for the rest of your life.

Turn down your speakers or headphones, it gets loud.

Your hand hovers over their name in your phone, agonizing for minutes which somehow become hours, weighing the pros and cons of saying something as simple as “Hey.”

“Also must remember not to mouth along the words to all my favorite parts, lest I look like a crazy person.”

“Do you just need to be alone for a little while?”

Wear your hair in a more flattering way, do your makeup, cinch in your waist — try to be that facsimile of the beautiful girl.
