“I was scarred but I was not broken. Beneath my wounds I was still whole. Beneath my insecurities, beneath my pain, beneath my struggle, beneath it all, I was still whole.”

“Sure, I’m sad, but I’m not looking to soothe that sadness by replacing it with a new relationship. Women are allowed to be sad, and they’re allowed to be single, and they don’t need to hear that one day a man is going to make it all go away by telling her she is good enough again. She’s good enough as she is.”

“I knew I did from the first moment we met. It was… not love at first sight exactly, but- familiarity. Like: oh, hello, it’s you. It’s going to be you.”

Nobody is going to save you. Nobody is going to be your hero. Not a man. Not your mother and not your best friend. You are born in this world alone, and you will die alone. So you better love yourself the hardest you can. You better show up for yourself in ways you never thought possible. You can not expect life to come to you easily. Stop asking stupid questions to random strangers and realize all of the answers you are seeking are in front of you. You have become grossly accustomed to quick satisfication that you have neglected the basic truths in life. Good things come to those who wait.

Some birds are not meant to be caged, that’s all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.

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.
