You are no one’s backup plan. And you are not someone who sits around, comfortable being an option. Choose people who choose you, clearly.

Self-protection looks like falling in love with their actions, not their words. Less promises, more proof.

still living with my parents as an adult is just like. i'm grateful to not have to pay for groceries. i have to get out of here. i'm grateful to have a roof over my head and not have to pay rent. i have to get out of here. i'm grateful to not have to worry about sending out endless job applications that all lead to nowhere. i have to get out of here. i'm grateful i'm grateful i'm so fucking grateful. i have to get out of here

To my 25 - 35 year olds, you've reached the age where people around you are starting to give up on themselves because they think it's too late. Don't let that energy rub off on you. It's not too late.

You can’t name a time you didn’t figure shit out. You gone be aight.

I swear.
