Save money? Budget? What do these words mean?

I think every person who loves to travel probably at some point wonders if all they’re doing is escaping their life, their responsibilities. I think I’m chasing nostalgia, but nostalgia is a dangerous game.

There is nothing more sobering than the silence of loneliness. It’s a kind of clarity that many of us spend our time, energy, and money hoping to avoid.

Get down with yourself the way you’d want someone to get down with you. Give yourself the pleasure only you could give yourself.

“Can you remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be?”

Stop making the fact that you’re single mean so many things it doesn’t need to mean.

Avoidance and distraction become your two closest friends when all you want is to forget.

And it’s passionate, but not in a stop-your-life kind of way, but in a sustainable way.

I saw you. I think I really saw you and yet I never told you that.

If you expect their love to make you believe in your own worthiness and—when it inevitably doesn’t—you blame them for not making you happy, you will break them.

Repost viral videos that went viral like three years ago.

We don’t know what we want. We’re not happy. We feel despondent. We feel hopeless. We’re still young and yet? WE DON’T FEEL YOUNG.

We cannot accept ourselves and grab hold of the lives that are meant for us when we are too busy chasing after a life built on what other people expect from us.

But, then I look at you and I think I’m not as brave as you.

No amount of double holidays or double birthday celebrations could have made up for what you actually wanted all along: a family you could call yours.

CONSISTENCY.

Be pretty, but not too pretty. Be beautiful and ageless, but don’t alter your face or your body too much. Be enough of everything, but not too much of anything.
