You only get one life. Are you seriously going to wait for the stars to align to go for the things that you want? Do you think you’ll live forever? 

The only person who can control me is myself – asking that of anybody else is an impossible task. It would grind any person to dust.

Think about this, the next time someone sees you being abused, and tells you to just take it.

Therapy is for self-absorbed special snowflakes looking for someone to stroke their ego.

Putting things off that can be done in three minutes is unacceptable

Full disclosure: I write poetry and share it on Instagram. I’m not even going to pretend that I’m impartial on this topic.

It hurts because you thought you’d be there for them, too, but you can’t.

If you like someone, ask them out. It’s not a gender thing, or an empowerment thing, it’s not playing games or trying to establish some sort of relationship pecking order.

It doesn’t matter why you are single.

Once you’re logged on, you’re just a few keystrokes away from verbalizing those thoughts. Online. Where nothing is ever truly lost and every miserable late-night outpouring of grief can be screen-grabbed, or resurrected with the Wayback Machine.

Regardless whether we like to or not, when we do art, we put ourselves out there.
