She woke up on a late November morning and couldn’t decide which was colder; her lover or the chilly air.

I wish forgetting your place in my life was as easy for me as it has been for you. I wish walking away would’ve been my decision instead of yours.

You will make really poor decisions. This is inevitable. You are going to make poor decisions that are not well thought out.

Don’t do it for your parents. Don’t do it for your partner. Don’t do it for your friends. Don’t do it because you feel like you should be doing it.

You are enough for good morning texts and goodnight kisses. You are enough for long conversations about life and short chats about nothing.

They can be stubborn to a fault. Aquarians know what they want and aren’t afraid to go after it.

I knew I was taking a risk by falling, but I felt like he was worth it.

I never saw you coming. You came into my life like a hurricane. Sudden. Unexpected. Your path was as unpredictable as the changing tides.

You will never be enough for the person who doesn’t love you. Your warmth will never thaw the heart which does not beat for you.

Pain has no timeline. Be gentle with yourself and remind yourself that it will get better.

Why does everyone expect Taylor Swift to stay the same? Most people evolve during their 20s more than any other decade of their lives. We change our minds often. We go through horrendous breakups. We have friendships fall apart. Some of us even make big mistakes that may affect our lives forever. It’s a normal part of growing up.

Maybe we should’ve laid our own insecurities aside, instead of comparing each other to our pasts. Maybe we should’ve leaned into our fears and vulnerabilities, instead of pushing them aside. Maybe we should’ve been our true selves, instead of building up so many walls.

Your struggles may be different from those around you, but we are all struggling.

When you have generalized anxiety, you wake up every day fighting a battle that people without anxiety will never understand. It’s especially exhausting in close relationships, especially for loved ones who don’t struggle with anxiety themselves.

I can’t forgive myself for believing the lies you told me.
