You’re used to the stares, but it still sucks.

1. Replace negative thoughts with positive ones.

The Badass.

You are going to fail at things. It’s a terrible bubble to burst, but it’s the honest truth.

When you look at it from a wider perspective, the term wanderlust has slowly lost its meaning. Its value is nearly gone. If you look at it with a different lens, you’ll likely realize that your week by the pool in your designer bikini wasn’t wanderlust…it was a vacation.

You might not notice it at first, but your forever person will make you a better person.

Believe in something. It doesn’t have to be church or religion. But find something you genuinely believe in and let it shape you.

If you’re wondering why someone shuts down the second a conflict arises, it might be because they’re an overthinker and it’s just too much.

Don’t overthink it, and don’t complicate it. Because for the most part, compatibility is about the little things.

Reflection and preparation are great, but we tend to obsess so deeply that we lose sight of the one thing we can actually control: the present. 

Organize your finances

I know you don’t see it; not today anyway. But you are perfect.

There’s no changing one’s self to become wife material. There’s no set definition. It’s not a trend you can follow.

One day, when your wounds have healed, someone will come into your life and they’ll be worthy of your love. And you might not see it, but you’ll be worthy of their love in return. 

Stop and let yourself breathe. Inhale for four seconds, hold it for two seconds, and exhale for four seconds.

One day you will see yourself as you again. And the mention of their name won’t hurt anymore.

When she asks about me, because she will ask, tell her a lie.

Skydiving is the epitome of having ZERO control.
