Your heroes are just people.
They cry, they stub their toes, they lose things, they get sick.
Everyone is just trying to be a person.

Taking care of yourself isnt something to shy away from.Theres no honor in burning the candle at both ends.
You deserve to treat yourself well, to take care of yourself.

You are not required to like everyone.You dont even have to have a reason for not liking them.
Its okay to just not like someone, they can find other friends.
Love honestly isnt everything.Its great, sure.

@kenziebarden
But its not everything.
you’re able to be a whole person even without being in love.
In fact, youshouldbe a whole person whether or not youre in love.
Letting go of the obsession with love isnt pessimistic.
If you want to eat a ball of mozzarella like a damn apple, have at it.
You deserve better than obsessing over food.
Practicing moderation is one of the kindest things you might do to yourself.
There are still people out there who only value you based on your bank account.And they fucking suck.
Period, end of discussion.
And if they make some sort of stink about it thats honestly their problem.
You dont owe anyone anything, including disclosure.
We dont deserve dogs.They love us unconditionally and purely and theyre the best thing on the planet.
I would take a bullet for my dog.
Its more than okay to move on.
Lying isnt cute.Lying is weak, pathetic, childish, and cowardly.
Theres nothing good about making the choice to lie.
And people will almost always see right through you.People will always figure it out.
And theyll think differently about you.
It might be more difficult, but its absolutely the better option.
Popping blisters really does make them worse.Its satisfying but then they like, get really scabby and unfortunate.
Just put a bandaid on and leave them ALONE for gods sake.
Unsolicited advice is just a fun phrase to stick in front of cheeky advice columns on websites.
Its not something anyone actually wants.
People cant read your mind.
And more than that, they dontwantto.Everyone is busy, everyone has places to be.
Adding in guessing what youre thinking isnt exactly something someone wants to put on their to do.
Never assume that someone knows whats going on with you.
Thats a special kind of selfish.
And the great equalizer is that they have people that do the exact same thing to them.
Life is too short for boring hair.If you want to dye your hair pink, dye your hair pink.
But like…pay someone to do it.
Yes its expensive but it will ALWAYS look better and be better for your hair.
Youre probably not as weird as you think.Literally everyone is fucking bizarre.
Stop using Im just weird!!
as a defining personality trait.
The internet is an amazing, wonderful tool that weve been given.So use it.
Youve got this amazing informational tool, use it to your advantage.
Everyone is just trying to be a person.
Every now and then, timing throws you a bone.And its pretty cool when it happens.
If you want someone to listen to you, you have to make a run at lead with patience.
Yell on the inside and in the group text, not at people.
you might pry my lactic acid and my sheet masks from my cold, dead hands!
Have your own back.
Dont assume anyone is going to have it for you.
Not even their time.
If thats disappointing that sucks but its reality.
Letting go of expectations on other people is not only freeing for them, but for you.
