I wish that we can live in a world where it’s cool to feel things and to feel them deeply.

If you were born in July, you better believe people fall in love with you for your sense of humor.

I fear that the most authentic thing about me is nothing more than a heartbeat. But as I sit here with my fears spelled out in front of me, I’m starting to wonder if maybe that’s enough.

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want you. But I don’t just want the you that exists today. I want all of you.

If you married a May-man, you married an itinerary-maker.

Have you met someone who seems very sure of themselves? They did not get there from having an easy life.

I want you to share every reason you feel that you are unlovable. I won’t promise to fix them because I can’t, but I do promise to love you anyway. I swear, I will love you anyway.

Our friendship grew solely out of the fact that we are both experts at making fun of ourselves and each other.

Take note of the things you are clinging to that you have outgrown.

Finding an old love or an old memory in between the lyrics of a song.

I bet you can laugh about at least one thing you were worried about in middle school because you outgrew that problem once you gained some perspective.

The judgements others have about me are synonymous with the judgements they have about themselves.
