Like any blossoming of a great thing, this endeavor requires patience on your part—loving, tender patience for yourself on this path of self-discovery. 

This journey isn’t about anyone else’s expectations but your own. This journey isn’t about anyone’s happiness but yours. 

There will never be a “perfect time.” It simply does not exist.

You are not slutty. You are not promiscuous. You are doing nothing wrong.

Feeling this way, though, how can you be just friends? When all you want to do is reach out and hold their hand?

Love is a beautiful thing when we come across it.

It’s easy to get stuck in the past. Our minds work funnily: they seem to think that if we give something enough attention, it’ll either give us the answer or somehow makes us feel better.

These are all common cases of projection. Projecting is when you believe something about the world and then start to see it in other people.

You’re not crazy for getting upset he never called you when he promised.

Every woman’s body is beautiful and unique in its own way. There’s not one standard of beauty in this world.

Getting caught up in a relationship is so easy — before you know it, months have passed since you saw your friends.

You get to embark on the journey of finding, or re-finding, hobbies that you love.

The path to success is never easy — not for anyone. So let’s finally let go of that notion, because if you buy into that idea, you’ll never achieve anything.

How does one grieve a person who is still here? Where are the words for losing someone that’s still alive? 

If we choose to label people, we are setting them into narrow constraints.

Does small talk really help us get to know the person?

Putting someone on a pedestal is making them into this grandiose idea of a person.
