One Day You Will Meet Someone Who Will Make You Remember

What True Love Is Supposed To Feel Like

One day youre going to meet someone who makes you remember what love is
supposed to feel like. And you are going to meet someone who shows you exactly
what love is like. And this time, this love is going to stay permanent.
One day you will meet someone who wont make you question anything
anymore.They will make you want to shout and scream out to the universe
that you are in love. And you arent going to be afraid.
One day you will meet someone who will make you realize that every decision in
your entire life has led to meeting this someone.
And youll maybe start to believe in fate, and in every other magical thing that you
used to scoff at.
One day, mention of your first love will make you smile at the memories, but it
wont make you miss them. Because now you have a greater love. Something
bigger than you two. Something more powerful than anything you could ever
imagine.
One day, mention of your other exes wont make you wince. It wont make you
sting anymore. Because, now you have found the someone who is greater than any
of them combined.
Because now, after searching for so long, you have found the love you have always
wanted.
Someday, you are going to meet someone who gives you butterflies in your entire
body. And you arent going to want to shoo them away. Youre going to let them stay
and let them grow.
One day, you are going to meet someone who makes you laugh until breathing
becomes impossible. And then youll look up at them, and feel breathless all over
again. Because even just one look into their eyes, sends you flying.
One day, you are going to meet someone who kisses every inch of your body. They
are going to adore all of those parts of you that you tried to hide from previous
partners. They are going to kiss you so softly and so gently, that you will think to
yourself, my god. This could be love.
And one day, you are going to meet someone who you will fall deep for. It will
happen slowly, and then all at once. It could happen in a day, or in a year. But you
will fall and for some reason you wont be so scared anymore. Because the way they
look at you doesnt make you question how they feel. And the way they hold you
each night, doesnt make you feel scared it will go away.

Because the way that they say your name, and smile slightly at you when you
arent looking, says everything youll ever need to know.
One day, you will meet someone who will remind you that love is good. And that
their love for you will never fade.
One day you will meet the right someone for you. And its not going to end,
darling. Its not going to leave. They arent going to leave you.

Love And Love Again, But Always Protect That Beautiful Heart
You have given yourself away in love, havent you? Youve put yourself out there,
trusted a mans hands, arms, eyes, legs, heart to catch you, to hold you, to keep
you safe.
And he let you down.
Its frightening, isnt it? To accept a cruel, cold world without him in it. To see your
life stretched out in front of you, open and endless. Youre terrified of beginning
again, so scared of giving a piece of yourself away once more, so nervous to relearn
someones touch, or trust them enough to let them know you. Because what if they
betray you like he did? What if they leave?
So you convince yourself youre better off alone.
But even in your heart you know thats a lie.
Because you want to love and be loved, youre just scared.
But I want you to know something about girls like us. We love and we keep
on loving. Our hearts are too big to stay still in our chests; they are always
reaching, always opening, always letting people in.
And you know something, sweet girl? Theres absolutely nothing wrong
with that.
We are born to love and be loved. We are born to open our hearts. We are born to
reach out to others and connect the fabric of our beings to someone else. We are
born to kiss bodies, kiss souls.
So you must never let a broken heart feel irreparable. You must never let the sun
set on a day where you feel empty and alone. You must never be too scared to love,
and to love again, and to love even after your pain.

Because loving is the strongest thing your little heart can do. And you,
sweet girl, are made of strength.
You will get hurt, I can promise you this. That is the unfortunate way of the world,
that we are sinful beings who cannot help our ways. But that doesnt mean its not
worth it to fall in love.
I can promise you its worth it every time.
He may have broken you, but only temporarily. He might have betrayed your trust,
but you will believe again. He may have made you terrified to let another man in,
but in time, you should. And you will.
Because your heart is too big to be left out on this earth alone.
Its too big and beautiful to not experience all that this world has to offer.
But promise me one thing as you go on loving and livingthat you will protect that
beautiful heart of yours. That you will only give it to men who are deserving. That
you will let it guide you, but let your mind stay rational and careful, right alongside.
Promise me that youll only show your inner self to men you can trust, and
that youll be selective and smart. Promise me that youll never give up on
loving, but that youll never let someone change who you are or persuade
you to feel differently.
You were born with a big heart, with the ability to be vulnerable and true, to be kind
and selfless. Never let anyone take that away from you, sweet girl. Always protect
yourself as you jump all in.
The world is a scary place, but you dont have to fear love.
Dont be afraid of loving how youve always lovedso deeply, so fully. But promise
that wherever you wander and how much you want to give away pieces of yourself,
that youll be careful. That youll protect that heart. Its far too precious to lose.

To My Sweet Daughter, Heres Everything I Want You To Know About

Young Men

I do not know what the future of dating will look like for you many years from now or
how men will treat you. And I know now, as much as Id like to, I cannot protect you
from all the landmines and jackals running rampant. You will have to learn to face
them on your own.
But I can tell you what to look for. Look for honor.

Look for integrity, selflessness, sacrifice, and compassion. Find those who
champion justice and fidelity. But above all, seek men who emulate
humility and meekness. Do not, as so many others do, be deceived into
thinking it is a weakness.
Meekness is strength wrapped in humility, my dear daughter. It is strength under
control in a world where so many are out of control.
Do not confuse velvet words and simply holding a door open as honor. Instead,
observe how he treats others, your waiter, the homeless, and the marginalized. For
if you see how he treats those at their highs and lows, youll understand how he will
treat you during your high and low points.
Heed this wisdom and do not become disillusioned, for honorable men will still
break your heart. A dishonorable man will break up with you via text, SnapChat (if
that still exists), or simply ignore you. But an honorable man will break your heart
face-to-face.
Do not despair, my daughter, for as you read this, you may be tempted to believe
that honorable men disappeared in the years before you were born. They still
exist.You must search to find them, and that may take many years. In your search,
though, you will encounter many men without honor. Do not blame them. For they
had fathers who didnt know how to train their sons in the ways in which a man
should walk. Many grew up without a male figure to explain what honor and
integrity look like. Feel compassion for them, instead. Point them to other men you
see acting in honorable ways.
I leave you with this in closing, Adi. When you were born, my heart was yours, and I
wanted nothing more than to protect you, kiss your face, and watch you smile. One
day, I hope to meet the man who feels the same way.
All my love,
Dad

Date A Guy Whos Afraid To Lose You

I know youre drawn to the guys who are confident.
Its not a bad thing. Honestly, its a good thing that one of the most driving factors
that determines your attraction to someone is that they are a self assured human
being. Maybe you spent years not being confident in yourself, so you sought out to
make up for what you thought you lacked. Maybe you are an incredibly confident
person yourself and you feel you need someone who matches that same level.
Either way, youre starting to notice a pattern in the guys youve dated/been
attracted to; they all had solid amounts of confidence running through their veins.

You know, I think sometimes we say confidence is key. But what if it wasnt?
What if instead of dating the guy who was confident, you dated the guy who gets
nervous around you?
I know, it sounds odd at first, because it doesnt make a lot of sense. Why date a
nervous wreck when you could date a guy who is confident in himself?
If a guy is sure of himself, thats a good thing. Yet all too often we can mistake
confidence for cockiness. Self-assurance for arrogance. And sometimes it
takes too long to spot them. They approach you and stare into your eyes and say all
the right things that make you melt into a puddle, and you know, it feels lovely
doesnt it? Its nice to have someone walk right up to you and say things in such a
straight forward way. Yet then it hits you that this arrogance, this string of flirtacious
lines tossed in your direction is something that came so incredibly easy to them.
Let me tell you, when someone likes you, then they are a little rattled by being
around you.
Even people who are self-confident still feel the nervousness and the butterflies
when they see the person they are crushing on. There is always that hope to
impress, the intent to try and say the right things and hoping they dont get tongue
tied. We all go a little crazy when it comes to love and like and everything
in between; love is a complicated emotion that we cant always glide our
way through with smirks and one liners.
So maybe you should date the guy who trips over his words a little when he talks to
you- not because he is incompetent, but because he is wanting to say the right
things to impress you and he doesnt want to mess this chance up. Date the guy
who tries to make eye contact with you, and he manages to for a few seconds, but
then looks down.
Not because he cant stand looking at you, but quite the opposite.
When a guy is saying everything to you with ease, without even blinking or thinking
twice about it, it can only leave you to wonder how often he has rehearsed these
lines on other pretty girls. When a guy makes eye contact with you and doesnt
break away, you can only wonder if his intentional staring is only picturing you
naked. You can only wonder if this is a game and you are a prize- a game where he
wins and you lose.
Honestly, you should date the guy who acts like he has something to lose when it
comes to you.
That while he is secure in your affection for him, he also knows that if he decided to
start treating you less than what you deserve, then he knows he would risk you
walking away, and its the last thing he wants. He doesnt view you as todays thing
that he can easily replace tomorrow- he actually gets nervous and anxious at the
thought of you not being with him the next day.

So maybe you should date the guy who isnt afraid to admit that you make him
nervous, because darling, hes not just going to let you go when the next pretty
thing comes along. Hes going to hold onto you because he recognizes what he has.
And honestly, that is what you deserve. Someone confident enough to hold onto the
good thing hes found, but nervous enough to want to keep you every day.
Because you deserve that, darling. You honestly do.

The Brutal Truth About Getting Closure With An Ex

I dont believe in ever having final closure, especially with someone who you have
truly grown to love and adore. Theres such thing as goodbyes. Theres such thing
as a clean break. But I dont think anyone can get quite what they need out
of closure.
An ex told me once all he wanted was closure. My friend once told me all she
wanted was closure with her ex. At one point in time, all I wanted was to find some
sort of closure with my first love. We all want it and crave it. Because we want
answers about why it ended. About how it ended. And we want to feel better.
But is closure really going to make us all feel better?
To get closure is to finally end the chapter of the partnership. Its to close the book,
and to pull down all the curtains. I understand why we all want it. It makes sense
that we all need to try to make sense of it all and to get some sort of answer. But, if
the breakup is already said and done, what good is it to rehash the old wounds?
What good will it do to meet up again, just to say goodbye for the second time?
In theory, closure sounds quite lovely. It almost acts as a cure-all for our breakup
woes. And we all would do anything to make the hurt stop. We would do anything to
make the pain go away.We want it, to finally move on. We want it, so we can
finally let go.
But, Im afraid closure could make the breakup worse. You are going to have to hear
all about why they ended it with you. Or youre going to have to explain to them
why you broke their heart. Youre going to have to see their face again, and feel
butterflies, and pretend they dont exist. Youre going to have to see them look at
you in a different way now.
And then youre going to go home. And feel yourself crumble all over again.
Closure, while painful, can also be scary. You might have to face someone who
despises you for breaking their heart. You might have to listen to them stomp all

over you, while you stay frozen in silence. Closure could rehash all the negativity
that relationship brought you, and youre going to wish you never agreed to seeing
them in the first place.
I hate to break it to you, but closure isnt going to magically help you move on.
Youve got to do that on your own. Youve got to work at it, and let time do its thing.
Closure isnt going to give that to you. You are the only one who can make the
effort and move on with your life.
So, dont fall victim to this idea of getting closure. Its not going to help you. Its not
going to make anything easier. Its not going to make the hurt go away. Thats for
you to do. And thats for you work on, by yourself. Not with your ex.

What It Feels Like To Love An Emotionally Unavailable Man

It feels like youre a crumbling house, that breaks down a little bit at a time, with
each heart-crushing thing that he consciously and subconsciously does.
When he goes missing for days without an explanation. When he stares at other
women longingly, minimizing you to a convenient placeholder. When he treats your
sex life like an engagement with a common prostitute. When he refuses to introduce
you to any friends or family, like youre a secret mistress. When he tells you he
loves you and that youre special to him, on a Monday, then glares at you like some
unwanted cretin on a Tuesday. When you fear displaying any sort of real emotion in
front of him because he just recoils and is incapable of making you feel better,
which will only make you feel much worse.
When he speaks excitedly about marrying you and starting a family with you, but
then ignores your phone calls for the next few days. When you would do anything
for him but that is never reciprocated. When he spends hours talking about his woes
and bordering depression, expecting you to listen and be there for him, but then
cant even be there for you when youre strapped for cash and stranded somewhere
far from home.

From the very beginning, your intuition tells you that he is bad news, but
you cant really put your finger on why that may be so.
But that doesnt stop you from being guarded about confiding in him when he
expresses (feigns) concern for your sudden bout of sadness. Not being able to
explain to him why you have suddenly become depressed and withdrawn, because
he is the reason behind your sadness and you wouldnt be able to explain your shift

in temperament without emotionally breaking down. Amidst all that, you still love
him. And latch onto the moments where he is present and shows you love. Placing
those rare positive moments above the ones which made you feel so low.
You live like this for months, hoping and wishing that he changes. Hoping that he
wakes up one day and sees the value of what he has taken for granted for so long.
But that day never comes. And eventually, you decide to pick your sanity over him.
And it hurts like hell. The tears, the physical pain of feeling your heart breaking. It
hurts like you could never have imagined.
You miss him everyday. Think about him every second of each day. Wonder
if he thinks about you too.
After what seems like forever, you start thinking about him less. You start making a
real effort to get out there and move on. Which you do. Albeit slowly. But the
memory of him remains ingrained in your mind. The memory of the abundance of
love you gave him. The memory of your unrequited love. And along with the
memory is that tiny glimmer of hope. Hope that one day, one day youll be perfect
for someone who is finally perfect for you.

At The End Of The Day, You Need To Do Whats Best For You

Ive always been the type of person to apologize for everything. I apologize to the
barista when she makes my drink wrong and I ask for a new one. I apologize when
people bump into me without hesitation. And I apologize to anyone
and everyone when I make an honest mistake.
But worst of all, I apologize whenever I do something just for me. And I always,
always feel bad about it. Even if that something was lifting me up. And even
if that something, was making life worth living.
I shouldnt apologize for doing what makes me happy. I shouldnt apologize for
saying no to a nice looking man at the club when he asks to dance with me. I
shouldnt apologize for making someone elses life inconvenient. I shouldnt
apologize for not being lovely all the time.
I shouldnt apologize for saying no. I shouldnt apologize for saying yes. I
should never, ever apologize for saying how I feel when I feel it.
And you shouldnt either.
At the end of the day, we all need to do what is best for us. No matter the stares or
looks or gossip. At the end of the day, we need to do what lights us up after a long

day at work. We need to stop apologizing for being ourselves, and for giving
ourselves a shot.
So, stop apologizing for every little thing. Stop second guessing yourself. And stop
doubting yourself.
You are worth more than you think you are. You are more special than you think you
are. So, go and do what you have always wanted to do. Go and do what you have
always dreamed of. Go and live the life you want.
Go move across the country just because. Go fall in love with someone who is the
opposite of your type. Go bartend instead of working a 9 to 5 job. Go backpacking
across Europe. Go seek whatever it is that makes you glow from the inside out. And
do it without saying sorry.
Dont live the life that everyone else wants you to live.
This is about you. You entered this world by yourself, and you will leave it by
yourself. You know yourself better than anyone else. So, do your own self proud. Do
yourself a favor. Be kind to your needs. Be kind to your wants.
And live the life that you were made for. Without hesitation. And without an apology.
Dont stop when someone tells you to be careful. Dont hesitate when people scoff
at your dreams. Dont quit when people stare at you with distaste.
Just go out there and live your best life. And watch yourself thrive and accomplish
things you never knew were even possible. Watch yourself soar. And watch
yourself never utter another sorry again, for doing what is best for you.

This Is How You Truly Move On From Someone You Thought You
Were Going To Marry

When you have a breakup with someone you envisioned walking down the aisle
towards, it can incredibly shocking. It can almost feel like youre in a terrible
nightmare, just waiting to wake up.
You think to yourself, Im never going to get over them. They are the perfect person
for me. This cant be the end. You say to yourself, This person was the person Im
supposed to be with. They will come back to meThey have to.
But, those thoughts arent going to stay forever in your mind.

I promise you, you are going to move on from this person. It doesnt matter how
long you were together. It doesnt matter how picture perfect you were together.
You will eventually realize that maybe they werent so great after all. Or maybe you
will eventually realize that everything happens for a reason, and youll find someone
else when youre ready.
You will move on from this person. And this is how youll do it.
Youre going to cry. There is no doubt about it, no matter if you are a guy or a girl.
Everyone cries. Thats just how grief works. Youre going to probably be in denial for
a long time, so youll keep everything they gave you. Youll keep the pictures up on
your Instagram and Facebook, just in case they will come to their senses.
Youre going to drunk text them. Its just what happens. Youre going to drunkenly
type on your phone things like, I misss youuuu and I still love you. Lets get back
together. The next morning you will wake up with shame more powerful
than your headache. Because, youll look down on your phone and realize
they didnt respond.
Youre going to wallow in self pity. Youre going to listen to really sad music and
sleep till 3 pm most days. You wont be able to eat because you hurt too much
everywhere. You will think that you wont ever smile again. Or be happy
again.
Youre going to get angry. Youre going to curse them for ending it. Youre going to
curse them for not wanting you back. Youre going to punch a few walls, or at least
attempt to. And youre going to tear up their letters and pictures and erase every
memory you have of them.
And my god, will you miss them.
Then one day, youre going to wake up without the pit in your stomach. Youre going
to still be sad sure, but you will feel a little bit better for some reason. You dont
know how, or why. But for some reason, you miss them a little bit less.
A friend will tell you a joke, and youll actually crack a small smile, remembering
that there are still things to enjoy about life even though they are gone. And then
youre going to go for a night out and actually enjoy yourself. And you arent going
to get the urge to contact them.
And one day, you will realize that you are over them. It wont be easy. It wont be
quick. And it wont be a simple process. But it will just happen.
And one day, you will meet a person who doesnt make you feel empty anymore.
You will meet a person who doesnt remind you of them. And youll be ready.Ready
to finally let go of that person that you used to want to marry. Ready to
give up on that forever. And youll finally be happy.

If You See Any Of These 7 Things In Your Life, Its Probably Time To End
Your Relationship

Its a question in life that you never really want to answer

When is it time to end a relationship?
Things build up. Something feels off. The magic has faded. Or maybe youre just not
happy anymore. Whatever it is thats causing this burning question to rise to the top
its not going away. So you have to figure out if this skepticism is permanent, or
just a phase. Tough call.
Relationships have rough patches all the time. In fact, I call them growing pains.
Many relationships hit tumultuous times when two big personalities are adjusting to
one another. Its normal. So, trust me when I say: not every rough patch means the
relationship should be over.
Alas, the question remains: When is it actually time to end a relationship?
When is a rough patch no longer a rough patch, but a pattern?
Here is how you know when its time to end a relationship:
1. You dont like yourself in the relationship.
You know how colors look differently when lined up next to each other? Your blue
eyes POP when youre wearing navy, hunter green, or purple but they glaze over
when wearing white or gray. The same happens with people.
People can complement our personalities in vastly different ways. Some can bring
out the funny side of you, while others encourage that vulnerability and authenticity
to seep out. Your partner has the most influence over this dynamic so be honest
with yourself when you ask do you like yourself in this relationship?

Is your best self coming to light, or are you consistently coming face to face with
your unfavorable side?
We all have flaws. We all have demons. Its not that we want to completely erase
them but we dont want to highlight them, either. And if our partner consistently
brings out the worst in us, its going to be hard to thoroughly enjoy the relationship.
I want to make one thing exceptionally clear: this isnt necessarily your partners
fault. Your partner most likely cannot help how their personality complements yours.
But regardless you deserve to be in a relationship where you feel like a better
person for it.
2. There isnt perceived equity in effort.
Do you feel like youre carrying the relationship? Are you the one always reaching
out? Making plans? Showing affection? Sharing stories? Geeze. You must be
exhausted.
People share and receive love in different ways. Your relationship does not need to
be quid pro quo down the line. But if you dont perceive that the relationship is
equal that is a massive problem.
Everyone is busy. Everyone has baggage. Everyone has obligations. But when
youre in a relationship, you make time for it, period. Otherwise you guys can just
date and casually enjoy each others company while you keep on living your life.
Relationships require effort and commitment. So if youre not perceiving either
then whats the point? You deserve to be courted just as much as you should be
expected to court. Walking away at least gives you the opportunity to find a
balanced relationship.
3. You dont feel loved.
One of the best perks of being in a relationship is having the solid belief that you
are *special.* They chose YOU. You get their kisses. You get their compliments. You
get their affection. You are the one who gets to be their partner, and they get to be
yours. You are Queen of the world!
So if you dont feel this way, again, whats the point?
Not feeling loved has got to be one of the worst feelings EVER. Yes, I am all for selflove and completely encourage women to love themselves so much that it doesnt
matter what other people think. But subjecting ourselves to feeling not loved on a
daily basis just sounds like misery-poop stew.
Thats a hard pass from me. And it should be for you, too.

The reality is, life is hard. There are going to be moments in life where you dont feel
intelligent. You are going to have days when you think all of your hard work has
been pointless. There will be months when you feel like absolutely nothing is going
your way. I promise you, it will happen. So in those moments, the last thing you
want is a partner who doesnt help build you back up. Its hard convincing ourselves
of our worth we dont need the duty of convincing our partner, too.
Let them go, and find someone who is dead sure of your fabulousness.
4. You know you dont love them.
Do not let guilt, fear, shame, or embarrassment keep you in a relationship. Not only
are you doing yourself a disservice, but you are completely screwing over your
partner, too.
Breakups are hard. People get their feelings hurt. But human beings are resilient.
We are wired for survival. Emotional setbacks are difficult but we bounce back. In
fact, we were designed to bounce back. And the hurt that we suffer is *completely*
worth it when we are finally able to find someone who treats us the way we
deserve. But guess what? You nor them will get that opportunity if you hold onto
a loveless relationship because youre scared of short-term consequences.
I say this with love: Get over it.
You are going to hurt people, and people are going to hurt you. Thats life. So do
what you know to be right and cut people free when you cant give them what they
need. And hope to goodness that they do the same for you.
5. You love them, but you dont like them.
We all know there is a *massive* difference between like and love. You love your
family but you dont always like your family. You like your next door neighbor, but
you dont love them (especially when their damn dog barks all day). (This is not a
personal reference). (Ok, yes it definitely is).
So ask yourself, do you like your partner?
Do you admire their accomplishments? Do you think they are a good person? Do
you like their friends? Are they nice to strangers? Do they tip their waitresses? Do
you brag about them to your family?
If you are struggling to come up with concrete things that you like about your
partner, thats not a good sign. You need to love AND like your partner. (Leslie and
Ben style!) Life is too long to be with someone you tolerate. They can have a good
heart, and still not be the one for you. Give yourself permission to find someone

who lights your haystack on fire AND is nice to your mother. Theyre out there. But
you wont find them, unless you end it.
6. You are putting your life on pause.
Lets get one thing straight: relationships are bonuses in life. The goal is to have an
independently happy life, find someone who also has an independently happy life,
and share your fabulously independent lives together.
So if your life is being put on hold completely because of their choices that aint
good.
Its ok if there is a little give and take. Your relationship responsibilities wont always
be evenly distributed. But you should always be able to pursue your goals, keep
moving forward, and build the life you envisioned while you are dating somebody
else. The two are not even close to being mutually exclusive.
Theres another way of putting this: your significant other is holding you back.
You can love someone with all your heart, but they just might not be on your same
frequency. This might not be their fault. It might not be anyones fault. But if you
cant ignore the reality that your life isnt progressing the way it should because of
this relationship things arent going to get any better the longer you wait. Youre
only going to fall further and further behind on your goals, and in the end, you will
resent your partner for the lost time. Dont do that to them. Dont to that to
yourself. End the relationship, and keep moving forward.
7. The negative outweighs the positive.
This is pretty self explanatory. If the fighting outweighs the kissing, the crying
overshadows the laughing, the knots outweigh the butterflies then its time to
move on.
Most relationships arent meant to last. They are meant to teach you something,
offer you some amazing memories, and fade away. Give the relationship the dignity
it deserves and put it out of its misery. Its dying out, and it deserves a proper
goodbye instead of an explosive ending.
Yes, its hard. But youre going to be just fine.

Want to know how to forget about someone?

Having difficulty forgetting someone?

And just want them out of your mind?

Right now, you probably have the idea that being able to forget someone (especially
someone who you really love) takes a lot of mental strength. Afterall, this person
probably keeps popping into your mind during the day and it seems like you have
no control over this.
The reality is that having to have mental strength is a complete MYTH.
You do not need mental strength to forget someone. Instead you simply need to
know how to correctly focus your mind. To make an analogy, imagine a sailor at sea
with no training on how to use the sail. The wind would knock the sailing boat
around and leave the sailor completely confused.
You probably feel like this right now.
Now imagine that the sailor was trained in how to operate the sail. All he would
need to do now is manoeuvre the sail into the correct position and he would be able
to use the wind to his ADVANTAGE and be able to make it home easily. In this
article, Im going to show you the correct way to focus your mind right now in order
to making trying to forget someone easy.
How Do You Forget Someone? (The Psychology Explained)
Like the sailor, right now you need to make sure you are not using the sail
incorrectly or pointing it in the wrong direction. Otherwise youll continue to get
blown about.
Lets look at some of the wrong practices people do when trying to forget someone.
The good thing about these is that you dont need to be mentally strong to do any
of them. You just need to know the correct way of doing them:
1. Remove Physical Reminders Of Your Ex: Look around your house do you
see any gifts that your ex gave you? And do these cause you to remember your ex
from time to time during the day? Take these things and donate them to the local
charity shop. Not only will removing them from your immediate vicinity help you
stop remembering your ex but the very fact that you physically took them and
disposed of them will help subconsciously program your mind that you are now
disposing of this person from your life. Youre telling your subconscious that the
relationship is definitely over and that there is no going back.
2. Get Closure: Following on from the previous point, displaying to your mind that
the relationship is definitely over is key. In other words, you need closure. Proper
closure. If you still have any lingering doubts as to whether or not there might still
be a chance of getting back together then you wont be able to get over this
person properly. Heres a video from my book THE ERASE CODE. It talks about just
this point:

3. Constant Daydreaming: Already this week, how many times have you thought
about this person? A lot no doubt. And when you thought about them, you probably
found yourself then proceeding to think about them for the next 15 or 30 minutes
(and maybe even longer). In my book I show a technique using a rubber band
(which even the weakest of minds can do) that will allow you to push thoughts of
your ex away as soon as they enter your mind. Another way of getting over
someone like this involves the use of classical conditioning which I also cover in the
book.
Best Ways To Forget Someone
Whether you want to know how to forget a guy or a girl, you must first know the
critical things to do (as well as what not to do). This is the only way to forget a
person you deeply love.
In addition to what Ive already covered in this article, key things you also need to
do include:

De-programme your mind that your ex was The One.

Examine the REAL psychology behind why you first fell in love with this
person (this will allow you to see that you dont really love your ex as much as you
think you do right now)

Remove specific memories of your ex that are haunting you (like seeing your
ex with someone new).

Remove your exs name from your mind (so you will never again feel that
chill when someone mentions your exs name).
Not being able to forget about someone you love can really sap a persons energy
and mental strength as well as make enjoying any new relationship you get into
more difficult (because you will still be pining for this old ex).
Thats why its critical, like the sailor, to take control of the sail right now and point
it correctly so that you can get back home in the easiest and quickest time possible.

A Self-Love Letter To Myself

To start off with, I am so proud of you. Life hasnt been too easy on you lately, and I
am truly sorry about that. But despite it all, you have managed to keep your head
up and continue fighting throughout.

Be proud of everything you have gone through, and mostly, what youve become.
Stop being so hard on yourself. Everything will make sense to you one day. All
the pain, hurt, and frustration will become worth it. Remember, everything happens
for a particular reason. You are in the exact place you are meant to be right now. So
breathe, be patient, and trust the course of your life. Let go of all the expectations
you have created in your head. Accept reality as it comes. Accept life for what it is.
Dont take everything so personally and try to not let others get you down. Most of
the time, things have nothing to do with you, and everything to do with the other
person. When people hurt you, try and understand their side of the story. Forgive
them. Learn from their wrongdoings, and then let it remain in the past. Not
everything is always how it appears.
<h2You are perfect in every way, especially with your flaws. Accept the things that
make you different, while embracing everything that makes you unique.
Even though you think you are broken, there is so much beauty in your pain. Also,
youre really not as broken as you think you are. You are stronger than anything that
has tried to tear you down. You are a survivor, not a victim. So with that, try not
to be so hard on yourself, we both know youre doing the best you can.
Create a meaningful life for yourself that you can be proud of. Promise me, you will
make the most of it all. Never let anyone get in the way of your goals in life. More
importantly, never give up on your passions and your dreams. Do not waste your
time on people who do not believe in you. You dont need anyone like that in your
life. Only surround yourself with people who encourage and inspire you.
You deserve the world and even a little more. You are smart. You are
beautiful. You are enough. You are everything. You are all.
Try not to rely too much on others for your happiness.
At the end of the day, all you are guaranteed is yourself, never forget this.
Stop worrying so much about stupid boys. There is so much more to you than being
someone elses girlfriend or wife. Frankly, there is so much more to life than a guy.
Be patient, and stay positive, while waiting for love. Just because you have not
found it yet, does not mean you dont deserve to be loved.
You must learn to completely love yourself, before you even try to love another.
Help others. Be a good friend and make sure to be kind of your family. Be selfless,
not selfish. Love like you never seen pain before. And if you do not find the strength
to do so, just make sure you find enough love for yourself.
You are so strong my dear. You have been through a lot and come out on the
winning end. The world has tried to break you, but you never let it. Thank your past,
for it has made you into a better person today.

Not everyone you have meet is meant to stay around forever. People will leave you.
On the contrary, you will also leave others. People will disappoint you, and all you
can do is learn to appreciate them for what they have taught you. Thank the people
who have stayed. Fill the spaces of the ones who have gone.
More importantly, gracefully let go of the things and people that are not meant for
you. Accept things the way they are.
Thank you for never giving up and being so tough. You inspire others and you lift
them up. Stay strong. Stand up tall. Be more beautiful than ever. Make them wonder
how you do it.
You know you deserve the world, now go get it.

26 Things You Absolutely Need To Learn About Life By 26

1. Its okay to be wrong. Sometimes, you cannot avoid making mistakes, having bad
choices. Those are what spice your life up, and make it feel so much more amazing to
be alive. Learn how to accept defeat.
2. Learn from mistakes. If you end up doing the same thing, learn from it the second
time around, until it becomes ingrained in you. Learn from them, and be a better person
because of them.
3. Do what you love to do. If youre still stuck with the day job you loathe, this is the
time you quit it and do whatever makes you happy. Find something that makes your
heart burn with passion, and makes you want to get up in the morning, ready to seize
the day.
4. Stop giving fucks. Give yourself a break. If youve always lived your life according
to how society tells you to live it, now is the time to stop caring about what other people
think. What YOU think is what matters the most.
5. Be in the present. Stop taking selfies, for crying out loud. Enjoy the sunset, savor
your food, try to enjoy the moment as it is right now.
6. Stop rushing. Dont just keep stuffing your face with food, chew it. You agreed on a
day with the family, but youre on your phone 90% of the time. Put that thing down, and

learn how to enjoy the moment. Laugh at peoples jokes, listen to peoples stories. You
can never bring time back, just relax and take it easy.
7. You cant stay mad forever. At this point, you have to learn how to forgive. The
person you had a fight with years ago probably already forgot all about it, and you have
to learn how to do that as well. You cannot live with a heavy heart for the rest of your
life. Forgive people, forgive yourself.
8. Learn to say no. You never have to prove anything to anyone. Youre done with
trying to be cool and going with the cool kids just so youre one with the crowd. If you
want to stay home in your pjs and binge-watch new Netflix series, then learn how to say
no to the crazy kids inviting you out for beer pong. You deserve it.
9. Learn to say yes. You dont have to deprive yourself of all the fun for the rest of
your life just because youre 4 years away from being 30. Learn how to say yes to friends
whenever you know you deserve a break from all the stress. This, you also deserve.
10. Change is a good thing. You have to learn to stop fearing change. Change
is everywhere, and thats a good thing. You dont have to panic about everything that is
changing in your life. Just go with it.
11. Be honest to yourself. The only person who knows who you really are and what
you can be is yourself. Learn how to accept who you are, and know that you are
wonderful, no matter what your flaws are.
12. You cannot control other people. You have to learn how to stop telling people
how they should live their lives. You can suggest or just tell them how you feel, but you
cannot ever ask them to stop doing what they want to do.
13. Always put yourself first. Its okay to think about the people you love sometimes,
but remember to always put yourself first. Your family is important, your work, your
friends, they are all very important, but it is you who will live your life until the very end,
and not anybody else. Find it in your heart to put yourself above anything else, because
you are important too.
14. Use your words wisely. Maybe youre simply just not aware of it yet, but your
words are very powerful. They can either make or break people. Youll never know
whose feelings youd be hurting if you choose the wrong words. So remember to think
before you speak (or write).
15. Waiting is okay. Some things dont just happen instantly. Sometimes, you have to
be patient, and things will fall into place at the perfect time.

16. You cannot please everybody. This is something you might have learned years
ago, but you have to keep it in mind. Not everyone will think youre as amazing as you
truly are. Some people will want to bring you down, simply because they are not blown
away by your thoughts and ideas. Some people will want to be out of your life in a jiffy,
because they feel that you are not worthy of their time. And they are never worth your
time either.
17. Be open to growth. The moment you learn that your flaws make you who you are
today, is the moment you learn that you are still growing, every single day. Learn how to
embrace your insecurities.
18. Make the most of life now. Stop being scared of failing in whatever it is you want
to accomplish. The point of doing things now is not how it ends up, but what you learn
in the process.
19. Its never too late. You can still do what youve always wanted to do in life. Its not
too late to be as adventurous as youve always wished you could be. Travel far and wide,
go see the places youve only seen in your dreams, leave your comfort zone and live your
life to the fullest.
20. Smile. No matter what youre going through, smile at people, smile every single
day and life will smile back at you.
21. Be kind. You dont know what everyone else is going through. It wouldnt hurt if
you learn to be kind to everyone you meet and see every day.
22. Believe in miracles. They are everywhere.
23. You will lose people along the way. These people are not meant to be in your
life forever. Some were there just to give you a certain lesson that you can keep with you
for the rest of your life, some will just make you realize that you deserve so much better
and that you need to let them go if they are not meant to stay in your life.
24. Its going to hurt. And its going to hurt a lot. You will have to accept and face this
hurt, because this will make you even stronger than you are. Sometimes, things will hurt
as you get better, and thats what makes it so much worth it in the end.
25. But youre going to be okay. Because you have gone through twenty-five years of
your life without ever giving up. Youll do great things. Youll meet wonderful people
along the way. Youll see beautiful places and make new mistakes. Youll be okay.
26. Nobody has life figured out. So what if youre stuck with a job you hate, or you
recently just quit your job and you dont know what to do next? So what if you feel like
youre alone and you dont know what your purpose in life is anymore? Nobody has life

figured out. Everybody is scared. Everybody feels alone. Everybody doesnt know what
to do next or what their purpose in life is. You have to stop worrying and just go with it.
Life is beautiful and so are you.

If He Breaks Your Heart, You Should Thank Him

If he breaks your heart, dont drain your energy hating him. Hatred isnt how
you move on. Hatred is how you get stuck.
Dont exhaust yourself searching for clues you could have seen earlier,
indicators that he was going to do this. That he was going to be another
tragic ending, another reminder loving someone is never a guarantee.
If he breaks your heart, you should thank him.
Just hear me out, okay?
If he breaks your heart, he wasnt meant to have it in the long-run.

Even though it hurts right now and youre feeling betrayed and terrified you
wont ever love someone like this again. This was always going to happen.
There was going to be a time when this chapter came to a close. That
doesnt make it easier, but just know it was inevitable.
If he breaks your heart, you should thank him. Thank him because he was
not the one for you. He was not going to be the guy you grow old with and sit
together on the front porch. That doesnt mean he wasnt important to you,
or at this time in your life, but hes not the one. You should thank him for
allowing you to see that.
You should thank him because he has just given you a gift. And I know that
sounds ridiculous. How can heartbreak ever be a gift? I know how it feels.
Dirty, pathetic, like the walls are caving in.
But in the strangest way, this devastation is a silver lining.
One day, you will find someone else. Someone who wont break your heart
like this. Someone who, instead, will hold it between his fingertips with care
and tenderness. Someone who will fight for you every single day. Someone
who will build you up, not tear you down.
If he breaks your heart, you should thank him. And you should let him go.
Because somewhere, someone else is out there waiting for you.

Read This If You Are Heartbroken

You are going to be okay.

It may be hard to believe this now. You feel like you have hit rock bottom.
With what seems like no prospect, no potential, and no hope looming ahead.
All you see is total darkness.
You feel so small and helpless that you just want to give up.

Its so unfair. You give everything you have, only to have it fall apart. It is
unthinkable to continue in fighting for what seems like the inevitable. It is
unnatural for the circumstances to be this bad. It is unimaginable for you to
radiate happiness again.
Friends say, give it time. Those inspirational articles and quotes say, you will
be okay. You want to ask, how long will my heart stay broken?
Because to be honest, it feels like you will never be okay.
You thought you would never get over this turmoil. You thought you would
never be happy again. It feels like you can never stop loving him. It feels like
you are an empty shell and your soul has fled and your heart has died.
He was in your veins, your bones, and your soul.
Now that hes gone, the air that keeps you alive feels thick, like poison, and
you have a hard time trying to keep your breathing even. The heart that
pound to give you life feels heavy as lead. You clutch your chest as pangs of
piercing pain gripped you. Your mind that used to be as clear as river is
murky and you struggled to stay afloat amidst the deadly memories of him.
He is everywhere.
How you longed to scrub off every inch of yourself, erase every space of your
heart, delete every of his messages, cut off all ties, forget every memories of
you and him. So that you will never be reminded of him again.
You did not believe in destiny until you met him. It seemed like your love was
written in the stars. Carved in stone.
Then you were cruelly torn apart from him. And you learned that even the
most beautiful flowers can wilt. The brightest stars can dim. The kindest
angels can fall. The most trustworthy love can abandon. And the one you
love can break your heart.
One day, you will be okay.
It will feel like you have just woken up from a surreal dream. You will see this
heartbreak as a blessing. You will feel free like the world is your oyster. Its
amazing how when you have nothing to lose, you feel like you have gained a
whole new perspective. That what you can lose is probably not important
anyway. That ultimately what you have is yourself. A wild and daring spirit
that will die trying first.

For you truly believe that there have always been better things. Pain may be
necessary but suffering is not. Happiness or pain is temporary. Nothing lasts
forever.
You will refuse to remain chained to the thorns of the past. This
heartbreak does not define you. He does not get to ruin your
happiness. He no longer has any power over you. He does not get to
hurt you anymore.
You will spread your wings and escape the claws of yesterday that are
threatening to close in. You will soar high and free, finally at peace with the
past. Not because you are a fearless warrior or a favored child of the high
heaven.
But because you know that you are a survivor.
And you are going to be okay.

I Cant Wait Until I Meet The Person Who Makes It All Make Sense

Someday youll meet someone who will make it all make sense, Im told
over and over.
Its like everyones famous line when you question why youre alone because
maybe they dont want to admit the truth that maybe youre not loveable or
maybe you have some really bad habits that no one wants to admit to you
that you cant see yourself.
People throw the phrase around like theyre talking about the weather
changing. Its just there, its something people are programed to tell you
because they dont know what else to say.
Heartbreak after heartbreak and being let down one too many times and
youre just supposed to believe that someday someone will make it all make
sense, someone will make you realize why it never worked out with anyone
else.
Well, I cant wait for that day.
I cant wait for the day I find someone who makes it all make sense,
someone who actually does make me realize why it didnt work out with
anyone else because there have been some guys along the way that I
thought could be it, but it never worked out in terms of forever. Someone
else always ends up getting the forever bit and Im right back where I
started, stuck on my own.
But one day Im supposed to believe I will find the missing half of my heart,
my better half, my whole world.
The person who I will share laughs with and shed tears with. The person I will
buy a home with and adopt dogs with, because you cant just have one. The
person who I will get drunk with in the living room and eat pizza with at
night. The person I will share all my secrets with and whose life will combine
with mine. The person who I will go through the ups and downs of life with,
the person who will share in my good and bad times.
Im excited for the person who will make me feel things I never imagined
because Ive never actually felt the way about anyone the way I feel
about him. I cant wait to find the person I say holy shit, I think I actually
found my soulmate for real this time, and be right.
I cant wait to experience everyday life with someone I actually cant get
enough of.
Because right now its just me, just like its been for so many years now and
as much as I like the alone time and self-discovery time sometimes it sucks.

Sometimes its really lonely and the loneliness can outweigh all the work
youve done on loving yourself.
But Ill keep waiting, I wont settle because the only thing worse than being
single in my opinion is settling for a half-hearted love you dont really want to
be in.
Ill wait for the person everyone tells me will be my future, Ill keep waiting
for my other half, but that doesnt mean Ill spend my time looking.
Im going to continue to live each day for me. Im going to keep bettering
myself and doing the things I love. Im going to keep putting myself first and
ensuring my own happiness because right now thats all that matters. Me. I
matter.
I cant wait to meet you, but until then Im going to keep living my life the
way I want and hope that will be enough for our paths to cross in the future.

Youre Giving The Best Pieces Of Yourself To The Wrong People

I know what its like to look at your reflection and the only thing you see are
flaws. And you dont want that to be the case. You think if nothing is wrong
with you, why do you keep getting hurt? Why does everything end the same
way? You give your best, yet it doesnt seem like its ever enough.
So what more can you do if your best isnt enough? What factors can change
if you continue to get the same result.
You can change and try to be something youre notbut that didnt work
right?
What you have to realize is it isnt you that is the problem its the people you
are choosing that is.
Youre giving the best of yourself to the worst of people. But you have to
realize there are a lot of people out there who dont deserve your best.
Save it. Until someone proves they are worthy of you in your best form, hold
back. Stop trying so hard. Stop trying to prove its you that deserves them.
Because the reality is its them that is worthy of being in your presence.
But that starts with believing it.
I know you arent arrogant or pompous or conceited. If you were even a little
of those things you wouldnt find yourself so hurt.
They say you gotta love yourself before someone can love you, but it isnt
just about that; the truth is you gotta just get to a point where you look at
yourself in the mirror and think youre worthy of the best kind of love.

Then have enough strength and self-worth to walk away when someone
doesnt give that to you.
Ill tell you what you dont deserve. You dont deserve someones half
hearted love. You dont deserve pain to feel normal. You deserve someone
who is going to enhance your life in such a way it leaves you feeling whole,
not someone who makes you feel empty as you wake to a either no texts or
a call at 3am.
You have so much to offer someone, yet you dont see it because you give so
much, so soon, you dont have anything left for yourself.
Be a little selfish when it comes to love. In fact be very selfish. Because your
heart and your emotions arent something someone should fuck with.
But more than that, you shouldnt allow them to.
I know what its like to look at your phone and just be happy they answered. I
know its like to settle. But love is the last thing in your life you should settle
for.
So start now. Promise yourself now, only give your best to people who
have taken the time to prove they deserve it.
I challenge you to let go of everyone in your life, and when you do the
worthy ones will still be holding on for dear life.
Those are the people who deserve you. Those are the people who deserve
your best. But the person who deserves your best most of all, is that
reflection you keep analyzing.

To The Ladies Who Tried Their Best

To the ladies who tried their best; you deserve happiness.

You tried your best and you gave your all to him. Your happiness only means
one thing to you, which is his happiness. You tried your best because you
believed he is the one. Even though, there were too many signs that he is
not the one, you still tried your best.
You convinced yourself, this is love. I love him unconditionally, thus, I must
accept all his flaws. Flaws that you wouldnt tolerate in the first place if it
wasnt not him. You tried your best to be that perfect girl for him; pretending
to be someone that you are not, just to make him stay. You keep telling
yourself over and over again, I love him. And this is what love truly means.
When things worked out well for both of you, you felt glad that you tried your
best. That your effort is finally starting to pay off. You were excited to be
happy and enjoy your future with him.
But one day, he broke up with you with one simple reason. Im sorry. I dont
love you anymore. Its not you who is at wrong. Its me he said. No matter
how many times you begged for a chance so you can be better to him, the
answer was still no. You were left all alone with thoughts that you never tried

your best. If only you did better in the past, he would have stayed. He
wouldnt have fallen out of love. He would still be by your side now.
To those who tried their best, its time for you to stop. You tried your best but
he didnt.
You accepted all his flaws but he didnt. You loved him unconditionally but he
didnt. A relationship doesnt work if its one-sided. You tried, he didnt.
So you should stop trying and be happy. You deserve all the happiness in the
world. You deserve being loved by a man that tries with you, and not alone.
You deserve to be you in a relationship and STILL be happy.
So now, to the ladies who tried their best; give yourself a pat on the back,
and go find your happiness.

Date The Man That Makes You Forget Youre Terrified Of Relationships

If you have to check his phone to see if hes been flirting with other girls,
dont date him. If you get suspicious when hes ten minutes late, dont date
him. Dont date him if he activates your insecurities.
Date someone who makes you forget about those insecurities. Date
someone you trust. Someone you dont think will lie. Someone you dont
think will leave.
Date a man that makes you forget that you have a fear of getting cheated
on, because you know that hed never flirt with another girl behind your
back, let alone kiss her. He would never look at the waitress for a little too
long or wish you looked more like a porn star. He would never make you
doubt the face you see in the mirror, because to him, youre the most
beautiful woman in the world.

Date someone youre eager to move in with, even though youve always
considered yourself an independent woman who can survive on her
own. Someone that actually makes you consider marriage, even though you
swore youd never commit yourself to another person. Someone youre not
planning on saying goodbye to anytime soon.
Date someone that makes you forget about all of the shitty relationships
youve seen when you were a kid. Someone that makes it clear that you
dont have to follow in your parents footsteps. With a little effort, you can
have a healthier relationship than the people around you. You two can,
and will, last.
Date a man that would never hit you or curse you out. One that asks you if
youre okay when you wince during sex and gets permission before pulling
your hair. One that would cry if someone else put a scratch on your pretty
face.
Date a man that makes it clear youre better off with him than being single
(or dating any other man). When you see your friends, bragging about their
latest Tinder conquest, you shouldnt be jealous. You should be happy you
get to go home and cuddle with the love of your life. You should feel blessed
to live a drama-free life with someone that genuinly cares about you.
Date a man thats capable of handling his alcohol. A man that would never
choose a glass of hard liquor over a difficult conversation with you. A man
that knows that getting drunk is a social activity thats meant to be fun, and
isnt a coping mechanism thats meant to help him deal with his shitty life.
Date a man that shows you his true self from the get-go. Someone that
treats you with as much love and respect twenty-five years down the line as
he did in the beginning. His love for you shouldnt fade over time. It should
grow.
Date a man that helps you drop all of your baggage. A man that makes you
forget that you were screwed over dozens of times in the past. A man
that proves, time and time again, that hes not like any of your exes. He
wouldnt hurt you. He wouldnt lose you. He loves you.

27 Things I Have Learned In 27 Years

1. It is possible to train yourself to do/get used to almost anything. I used to

never get up in the morning, now Im up pretty much every day before 7:30 AM. I never
ate veggies in my younger years, Ive been a vegetarian for almost two years. If you want
to do something or change something and are worried about it being hardyoull
adjust. You can adjust to anything.

2. People are going to come and go and theres nothing you can do about
it. Friendships will fade away, relationships will change. It doesnt mean that its not
going to hurt or suck, but its an inevitability of getting older. All fighting it will do is
prolong the hurt.
3. It is possible to wear the same shirt many days in a row without washing
it and no one will notice. But likeyou shouldnt. You probably kind of smell like
stale deodorant.
4. Your parents were right about a lot. And you were just an asshole teenager and
all they could think was, Just you wait, kiddo. Just you wait.
5. But theyre still people too. But they arent perfect, they have emotions, they are
human beings with layers and feelings and flaws. Everyone on this Earth, your parents
included, is a messed up weird little skin suit just like you.
6. If your very expensive electronic has an insurance plan that you can
purchase, do it. Apple care has saved me on more than one occasion and Ive gotten a
cellphone replaced after leaving mine in a bar. Just insure your stuff, youll be glad you
did it.
7. Just because you think it, doesnt mean you should say it. No one is a literal
ray of glitter and rainbows and happiness all the time. Weve all had a dickish thought
once or twice (or more.) But you dont have to be a dick, you really dont.
8. Its completely possible to adamantly dislike someone, and never let
them know. Politeness and the act of being fair will outweigh almost anything, and
youll be a better person because of it.
9. Most of the ideas you come up with when drunk are terrible and you
should never do them. For instance, cutting your own hair. Or cooking. Or using a
fire extinguisher for fun.
10. Pouring a drink on someone will feel really validating. But you will also
never be able to go back to that bar ever again. And you will look like a crazy bitch. So
decide whether or not its worth it and commit.
11. No thanks, I dont want to. Is a perfectly valid reason not to do
something. You dont need to come up with excuses or reasons if you dont want to do
something. No. is a complete sentence.
12. When youre feeling down, its hard to stay down when watching videos
of kids being ridiculous. I recommend this one, and also this one.

13. Burning bridges is stupid and a really crappy way to conduct yourself
professionally. They might light your way and all of that bullshit, or you could use the
bridge for its actual intended purpose. Leave places with your head held high and dont
give them a reason to be able to say, Were glad shes gone. Itll be better for you in the
long run.
14. But its 100% okay to leave a situation if its not right. But dont stay just to
keep from rocking the boat. If something isnt right, change it. Leave. Just leave with
dignity.
15. Just because you like watching Top Gun at 3 in the morning when you
cant sleep doesnt mean your neighbors and/or roommates want to watch
it with you. Aka: be respectful and keep Maverick and Goose at a reasonable decibel.
16. Everybody FaceTunes, even Beyonc. Everyone puts filters on things, whitens
their teeth, and edits their photos. Photoshop isnt just for magazine covers anymore.
Its literally everywhere.
17. But nobody really needs to. (Especially Beyonc.) Filters and Facetuning are
fun, but you look fine. Really.
18. Your life will get exponentially better when you learn to take time for
yourself. You deserve self-care, you deserve you time. And when you realize this and
learn to treat yourself from time to time, life is going to get better.
19. Being able to laugh at yourself makes everything a little easier. Nothing is
more exhausting than someone who takes things too seriously. Laugh at yourself. Make
fun of yourself. Youll be happier.
20. Its totally possible to do a 180 and change everything about your life if
you really want to. If you do not want to be something, somewhere, or doing
whatever youre doing, you absolutely have the power to change your life. Change your
