If you feel alone and unlovable right now, remember that you are loved by all those around you—even strangers, because they have felt your emotions too.

You’ll always feel the need to help others, as that is what a fixer does, but once you start doing the work, feeling and dealing with what you need to in order to finally fix your broken pieces, you’ll feel better.

You’re disappointed, but you handle it the best way you know how by not expecting much or anything at all, as this is how these friendships have worked in the past.

You give to the best of your ability when you’re tired but generous. You always seem to be the one who gives a part of yourself selflessly to someone.

For the first time, you feel free… and that’s something truly rare for you.

After three years of not seeing you and one year of not speaking to you, I felt such a sense of relief to hear your voice over voicemail.

It doesn’t matter how long it’s been, whether it’s been three years or three months, you will still love them and miss them. But most of all, you just hope they are happy and healthy.

Breaking up with friends is the worst.

When you think about it, not everyone gets a chance to experience and embrace a big milestone like turning 30. So why not take a chance?

Friendships teach us a lot about ourselves, about others and about the way we view the world we live in.

Don’t hide or dull yourself for the approval of someone else.

Put dating others on a break. Make time for you.

If you’re worried about peaking too early in life, you’re really afraid that you’re not living your best life.

When I was born, both my mother and I were given a 5% chance of survival.

We are all going to have to deal with it at some time in our lives.
