I used to think there were two types of guys:
1. Those who could handle an independent woman
2. Those who couldn’t
121: because selfishness is a virtue
Sometimes, you have to be selfish.
120: because the good shit doesn’t drain you
So often guard your heart is translated as close it off. And that notion I wildly reject.
I think we’re worried if we give too much of ourselves away, there won’t be anything left (for me).
119: because here is where you are
I’m not where I thought I’d be I’ve lamented since Graduation: Day One.
Without warning, and sure as hell without my permission, Day One became Year Two.
118: because love casts out fear
The anxious heart forgets to love.
117: because you’re doing this now
Saturday He said We can go anywhere we want tomorrow.
116: because people need people
I am overwhelmed by one truth: People need people.
115: because motivation is an art
Reflecting on my 2014, I am tempted to pat myself on the back.
114: because nice and badass are the same
I think being nice is badass.
113: because honesty truly is the best policy
Tell the truth.
It doesn’t require words.
