14. BOYS’ NIGHT OUT

Q:  “What do you typically do when you’re ‘out with the guys’?”
—plax1780

A: “Talk about ‘guy’ stuff: video games, football, action movies…

Make fun of each other in ways which can sometimes be incredibly brutal, just because we know it’s okay; we can take it.

Talk about girls. Get problems and annoyances off our chest in a purely male environment where there’s no risk of offending any ladies.

Relax. Have a night with absolutely no structure or planning and just do whatever we feel.

Get drunk and let loose without worrying about looking like a fool in front of your dream girl. Even when we’re in a stable long-term relationship, we still want to impress you.”

“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
