“I decide I love being single because life is way more efficient without dependents or co-pilots.”

“I remind myself that life is just experience and it’s only my perception that makes it a good or bad experience. And then I try to convince myself that this was a good experience.”

That’s exactly when being perceived as ‘chill’ gets a whole lot less quirky and fun: When people stop taking you seriously because of it.

You are not the story you used to tell yourself.

It only counts if you can stare down the shittiest, most despicable parts of yourself and go, ‘Okay. I am going to own these things. I am going to accept that they’re a part of me.’

They aren’t afraid to break a few rules to keep things interesting.

I don’t want the kind of love that’s so encompassing you forget how to exist outside of it.

Luckily, creating the illusion that you have your life together is now easier than ever.

Failure isn’t always a dead end or a stopping place. Often, it’s just the first attempt towards achieving a greater goal.

If dogs were humans they would always text you back immediately and be your plus one to everything and never ghost on you to hang out with that new guy they just started seeing.

At the end of the day, life is – and always will be – a numbers game.

Guards are there to keep people out because the person behind them isn’t done healing yet. Because they are not done working on themselves. Because they are not ready to dole out love in a healthy and genuine way.
