Grab that cozy blanket and curl up with your tears!

Sometimes it feels like you’re the only person in the world trying to do everything and be everything all at the same time.

If someone pulls out a quote of your writing to compliment your writing skills, you fall in love with them a little bit in that moment.

Your life’s motto: No plan is ever as good as a canceled plan.

Maybe the point of life is to always be lost. Maybe we’re not supposed to have our shit together, to have it figured out, to find our way.

Having a constant back-and-forth about whether we can pursue a career or a family and then being angered that we even have to choose one or the other in the first place.

You are actually having an existential crisis right now. It’s in progress. You are questioning your entire existence. Nothing is okay.

“Did I sleep with him too soon?”

If there’s one consistently true thing about humans, it’s that we constantly undermine our potential.

Still obsessed with each other… obviously.

Because, all love is love.

If we randomly wake up on a Saturday morning and say we need to leave town for a couple days on a road trip or to a cabin somewhere, don’t be alarmed. This is just what we do.

We need to see the next big thing in our lives. People say they want to feel satisfied, but they really don’t. We crave the next thing. This is why people set fire to their lives just to watch the flames, to give themselves something to rebuild again.

Part of you believes that it’s not time for you yet (the hopeless romantic part). But, the other part of you (that terrified of love part) worries your fear of falling in love is repelling love from you.

It’s almost impossible to let who we truly are come through. We gather up this evidence from other people about who we are. We mirror ourselves based off the expectations that others have of us.

If there is a puppy or a kitten on or around your person, you are NOT OKAY. Like, you are NOT OKAY in the sense that you are having a meltdown from being so overwhelmed by love that it’s too much for your sensitive heart to handle.

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!
