Oh, wow

Everyone else isn’t you. It turns out that’s a huge problem for me.

Don’t judge yourself by what others did to you.

I wasn’t your first and we both know this. She had your heart before you knew my name. He had mine before I ever looked twice at you. Most of your stories have her in them and it makes me wince but they’re coming less often and this is something to smile about. When you remember that you met him back when he was the one holding my hand, you try to remember what he looked like but you can’t because it didn’t matter then. They were first and we both know this. I want to thank her for leaving you so softly. You want to punch him for leaving me in pieces. You weren’t my first and we both know this but that’s okay because maybe I learned all the hard lessons with him. Maybe you learned how to love with her. I guess what I’m trying to say is there are so many different kinds of love in this world. He was my shot of tequila on an empty stomach and she was your monsoon after the sky forgot how to cry for the entire summer but you’re my bed waiting for me after a long day and I’m your glass of red wine that warms you from the inside. So what if they were first? This doesn’t make me sad anymore. We both promise to do better this time and I finally believe us.

I may have lost you, but more importantly I found me.

I was never good with directions. It didn’t take long for me to get lost in you.

If he doesn’t give you the same feeling you get when the pizza guy arrives, he’s probably not worth it.

An artist who stops making art is committing emotional suicide.  Get off the couch and start painting again.

the best part about being in your 20’s is slowly caring less and less about what people think of you and surrounding yourself with good people

Some people will hate you with passion. These people are so filled with self-loathing, that the hate they reveal has nothing to do with you. They are simply reflecting how they feel about themselves on you, as if you are a mirror. So let them hate. Smile, and continue to live your dazzling life. You are not made of glass, they cannot shatter you.
