PAULA

Just be honest with me or stay away from me. It’s not that difficult.

The less you reveal, the more people assume.

"I no longer have the energy for meaningless friendships, forced interactions or unnecessary conversations. If we don’t vibrate on the same frequency there’s just no reason for us to waste our time. I’d rather have no one and wait for substance than to not feel someone and fake the funk."

People inspire you, or they drain you - pick them wisely

When I loved myself enough, I began leaving whatever wasn’t healthy. This meant people, jobs, my own beliefs and habits - anything that kept me small. My judgement called it disloyal. Now I see it as self-loving.

If someone really loves you, no matter how many other people they meet, their feelings for you wouldn’t change. A real lover can’t be stolen.

I don’t give a fuck about who doesn't like me, who stopped fucking with me, who stopped speaking to me, or any of the petty shit people do towards me because I sleep great every night.

Don’t ever mistake my silence for ignorance, my calmness for acceptance, or my kindness for weakness.
