Memories never forget. Memories make up who you are. But you can’t let your past seep into your future and ruin any prospect of happiness that you have.

You decide to see what Tinder or Bumble is like in the suburbs and then immediately regret it when you accidentally swipe right on your old high school gym teacher.

You and I are not “options.” We are people.

Secretly, you wonder if you’re emotionally unvailable because you are exhausted from loving too hard and loving too much with too many wrong people.

Because our breasts get in the way of the microphone, and having them slam into the mic stand is not only painful, but also dangerous.

Even if the cold weather gives us permanent “resting bitch face,” we are some of the friendliest girls around.

You sometimes have questionable ingredients, but I don’t care – who doesn’t love a little mystery?

You feel so numb, yet everything hurts all over.

A person who is worth it will fight with you. They will fight with you because they know that the things worth having in life require the most work.

Sometimes I wonder if I loved too hard in the past and that I kind of just used it all up, like a tank of gas.

What is actually stopping you from just dropping everything that you don’t want to do and following the fear instead?

In reality, no one really cares more about you than yourself.

Even if they aren’t quite someone who had been in your life for a long period of time, they made an impact that left an imprint in your heart.

You know how they say that it is better to have loved and lost, than to never love at all? Well, it’s that in-between stage – of wondering when you will ever love again – that is the hardest part of it all.

The “I Have An Event/Holiday/Fun Weekend And Am Going To Go Off Of The Deep End” Stage: You find yourself going off the deep end and diving head first into a pile of whipped cream.

Anaconda by Nicki Minaj: Nicki should be honored immensely for providing the world with this amazingly progressive video highlighting the pride we should all have in having a big butt.

We are so afraid that if we do show emotion, people will judge us for being weak, because it is out of our character to be anything but indestructible.

There is that instant, gut emotion you get when you see someone for the first time, that can be ever so telling as to where your relationship with them will take off.
