One year after you lose your mom, you’ll really begin to take that first step into making peace with what happened.

I thought my 20s would be different than this.

Tomorrow is bullshit. It’s not about the promise of tomorrow, it’s about pushing your desires and happiness to the side.

Do not sleep with a coworker. 

You SHOULD surround yourself with people who fuel your inspirations, fuel your good mood, and fuel your passions. Anything less is a waste of time and energy.

Your early twenties are just so fucking exhausting.

I’m very insecure about the way I look, though. Especially when I’m around other women who I deem to be so much prettier than me.

Marriage doesn’t mean you stop fighting, it means you found a reason worth fighting for.

The honest truth I’ll share with all of you is that I’m actually terrified to wake up happy again.

 I will not feel bad, over and over again over pointless bullshit.

You come to accept that your only real connection to her anymore are your memories and if you’re lucky, a dream or two about her where you can feel that bond as tightly as if she were standing in the room beside you.

If you lost someone you love in 2017, make 2018 the year where you get a little bit stronger day by day. There is no time for “new year, new you” bullshit. The new you already happened this year.

This first Christmas without her is hard.

Love is a choice – and it’s a choice we have to make over and over and over again.

Navigating life without her has become your new normal.

The God’s honest truth is that I wonder how you can make life better for someone else when you’re still feeling the tremendous loss of someone you love(d).

You listen to her voice mails a little less. You put away the photo albums, but you can’t bring yourself to throw out the yogurt she still had sitting in your fridge all those months ago.

I’m pretty sure Idris Elba is an absolute doll in real life, but at Dunder Mifflin, the man has got some issues.
