Do you follow brunch with a trip to the gym? Nah. It’s Sunday, the day of rest. You’ll go tomorrow.

It blows my mind that something so popular could be forgotten about so quickly. What if society treated all important things this way?

I realized then that I was your whole world when you were only part of mine. I always felt guilty going back to school because I could sense you getting older with time.

Yeah, yeah, most of us have been caught taking a selfie. Whatever, worse things have happened. But yes, whether you’re in public, in your car, or at work, it’s still embarrassing.

You are able to pick and choose what you post about and add a nice little Instagram-filtered photo to go right along with it. On social media, everything is coming up Sutro.

There are unwritten rules of text and emoji etiquette that we must not break if we want to exist in the balance between fun and oversharing.

The only way to escape the constant nagging of “agenda anxiety” is to have a glass of wine, or two, or three.

It takes a lot more work to propel more people through the water than it does to go solo.

Don’t miss out on the experiences you could have with them just because you are afraid of goodbye.

The thing is, the more you prolong the break up, the more bitter you will both become, and the more the inevitable split is going to hurt.

They don’t understand the unwritten rules of “wait as long as the other person did to reply” and “don’t seem too eager”.

I often wonder how the man who falls for me will feel about my need to constantly escape.
