Because if you don’t pause, you’ll break. You’ll snap in two, and it’ll be hard to put yourself back together.

We do things not because we already know how to do them, but because one of the only ways to learn to do something well is to just try anyway.

Get suckered into pretty packaging. Because the prettier the display case, the better the product, right? Maybe?

We take stabs in the dark as often as we try for educated guesses, and some attempts just look smoother than others.

If Valentine’s Day is a day about love, then shouldn’t those people who listen to every minute detail deserve praise of their own?

Maybe, if nothing else, if we start telling our stories, we will know that we aren’t alone.

When you fall out of love, you take back the quiet confidence that said, I am here, I will be here, I am listening and I am with you.

I’m not going to go so far as to venture that hormones are Dark magic — though, I mean, have you been to high school? Maybe it’s like, #dark magic — but no matter how many dementors and Death Eaters they face, the kids are still kids.

Alone with pizza is better than alone alone.

It’s not selfish to accept selfless kindness and selfless love.

If ever there was a type of human being that deserved the “Don’t worry, they’ll tell you!” punch line, a Californian would be it.

Snapchat was totally made for the moments when you do something new with your nails and have to show your friends like, right now right now.

How to plan, and prepare, and stare Crazy-with-a-capital-C dead in the face and say, “I will conquer you.” And then, how to do it.

Life is too short to hop on and off of bandwagons all the time.

Laws changed. Opinions take a little longer. Do what makes you happy in the meantime.

Life should be a balance between things that are good for you, and things that you genuinely enjoy, and you shouldn’t feel the need to excuse yourself or make a light joke about being “bad.”

Hack your own work apart. Dismember it. Open it up so that you can stitch it back together better.

You will, at some point, find yourself spouting off some tidbit of football knowledge that you didn’t even know you knew.
