While I appreciate your kindness and well wishes for my future, I’m okay with being on my own.

Whether you’re all happily in relationships and gearing up for a romantic weekend getaway with your bae or you’re happily riding the singles bus, one day a year should be dedicated to your girls, no interruptions.

She can listen to your stories and silly jokes for hours, for what feels like minutes, before eventually noticing you are the only two left in the room.

I wish we had spent more time together. That we took advantage of the days we had and cherished the moments that time would allow.

She may not answer your texts right away.

To the man who opened up his heart to me even when he was afraid to.

As much as I try, I’m learning that I can’t control the outcome of my life. I can mold and shape it to match as closely to my dreams as I can, but the future will always remain uncertain.

Love is a powerful game that only the strongest survive.

If you are currently wrestling with your heart on where you stand in a relationship, just know that when you really care about someone, there will always be sparks.

It is okay to not feel beautiful all the time.

Although it’s still difficult whenever a Facebook memory appears on my feed of the time I spent with numerous ex-boyfriends and former besties, I cherish those moments but don’t regret going our separate ways.

If today was your last day, would you be remembered as a kind soul?
