Needless to say, you’ve been single for a long time and BY CHOICE. A relationship is the ultimate commitment so, oh, big surprise, you’ve been hesitant to make that leap.

That moment when you are radically open and leave nothing on your heart and bleed out onto this person and they accept you so fully and so completely that you realize that love is the only thing that could do this.

Your weekends are like these incredible stretches of endless hours that you can do anything with. Anything! You can read all day. Binge-watch an entire season of a show. Cook an elaborate meal. The weekend is your oyster!

Life is not about creating the perfect circumstances, but is merely about how you are able to persevere beyond the wreckage of a life you thought you’d have.

Because, if there’s one thing that true intimacy demands it’s vulnerable, raw, uncomfortable honesty.

Our desire for certainty, to root our opinions, to be right counteracts the natural state of being free. There is no freedom in certainty. We cannot be free while also dictating the future.

We will solve your entire life’s problems right now, right this moment.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

If anyone is mad at you ever, even if it’s over the tiniest thing, it will grate on you for days and days and the sheer stress of it will drive you close to the brink of insanity.

We can be with someone and forget that the love that is there doesn’t actually chip away, that our heart doesn’t need regenerating because it was never broken.

Basically, you are not above overusing the wink emoji.

Drake understands weekends: “I live for the nights that I can’t remember, with the people that I won’t forget.”
