“I don't think you turn thirty and become immune to mistake-making or lesson learning. You grow wiser (supposedly) but never omniscient. There's always something you need to be taught, and so you keep learning and you keep growing up- until you're dead.”
― Jessica George, Maame

“How do you know if you're genuinely happy or if you're just mostly all right, with sprinkles of laughter and occasional shit storms of sadness?”

“Many assume love is straightforward, when
really it is the most complicated of things. There is a right way, a preferred way, for each individual, to love and be loved by someone—but there isn’t only one way. I believe the difficulty of life has much to do with understanding and then navigating how the people you love both express and receive love themselves. It cannot be your responsibility, your burden,
to reshape people into someone you’d like them to be. Ultimately, you must
either accept a person for who they are, how they behave, how they express themselves emotionally, and find a healthy way to live with them, or let them go entirely.”

“We grow up fast. Not by force, but because we are needed.'
'I think sometimes we're needed for the wrong reasons.”
