A Mess Of A Mess

“you will never be too much for someone who can’t get enough of you”

“You don’t find your worth in someone. You find your worth within yourself and then find someone who’s worthy of you. Remember that.”

“Fall in love with the person who enjoys your madness, not an idiot who forces you to be normal.”

“Apply for that job. Date that person. Buy that plane ticket. Move to that city. Do all the things that scare you, because they’re worth it.”

“Lately I’ve been thinking about who I want to love, and how I want to love, and why I want to love the way I want to love, and what I need to learn to love that way, and who I need to become to become the kind of love I want to be…and when I break it all down, when I whittle it into a single breath, it essentially comes out like this: Before I die, I want to be somebody’s favorite hiding place, the place they can put everything they know they need to survive, every secret, every solitude, every nervous prayer, and be absolutely certain I will keep it safe. I will keep it safe.”

“When someone truly cares about you, they make an effort not an excuse.”

“Listen closely: the only time it’s too late to change yourself is when you’re dead. Until then, you’re simply making excuses or lying to yourself.”
