You have to let go of the life you think you’re supposed to have in order to step into the life that is yours. This is essential.

We don’t commit now. We can order up a human being in the same way we can order up pad thai on Seamless. We think intimacy lies in a perfectly-executed string of emoji. We think effort is a “good morning” text.

All your favorite pop songs covered by other pop artists! It’s a little self-congratulatory, but you know, it makes for good music.

So, no, you don’t need to make your truth pretty. You don’t need to say things are okay when they’re not. You don’t need to figure it all out and tie it all up and then—and only then—tell your truth.

When they say that the truth will set you free, what they mean is that you will be free from the burdening weight of having to conceal who you are.

I will love you when you are not you anymore. I will love you when you change. I will love you one day, but not today.

Do what makes you happy? No. Do what makes you come alive.

The thing about life is that every aspect of it runs together.

“Why can’t someone just want to have sex with me because of my brain?” is a thought you’ve had more than a handful times.

Love is not a panicked need for each other. It doesn’t say: “I love you because I need you.” It says: “I love you right now and that’s enough.”

People call you a bitch to try to break you, and you know what? You call yourself a Boss Bitch because they’ll never succeed in doing so.

My best friend right now is wine. Wine and french fries. This is all I will ever need in life.
