I don’t care what anyone says, being intelligent is so fucking attractive. Like yes, tell me random facts I didn’t know. I’ll think it’s the cutest thing ever.

since the day I heard an older man say “relationships thrive when you are always trying to out-serve each other” I have never, ever forgotten it. relationships thrive when you are always trying to love the other person more than they love you. in every way. it’s so selfless. and it’s safe to be as selfless as possible because you know they are doing the same and there’s no doubt that you’ve got each other.

A part of being an adult is living with regret and not allowing it to consume you. The older you get, the more mistakes you’ve made, opportunities you’ve missed, people you’ve disappointed. And every day you have to remind yourself to be kind and forgiving of yourself. You accept and love the you from the past and understand that it’s all a part of the process. Then you move on and live your best life, knowing now as old as you feel today, you’ll never be this young again.
