59. I pat myself down before I leave the house. Wallet… yep, keys… yep, phone… yep.

60. I am prompt. Aggressively prompt. I very much dislike being late to stuff. If you tell me to meet you at 6. I will be there at 6. If you want to go to dinner at 7. I will be there with table at exactly 7. If you’re having a party and you don’t want people to come until 8, so you tell everyone to be there at 7:30, I’m going to be there at seven fucking thirty. If you didn’t want me to be there until 8, don’t tell me to be there until 8. Thought Catalog Logo Mark

“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
