“Love is a natural disaster. The moment we think we’ve got our lives all figured out, love comes in with an unexplainable divine force and turns everything upside down. It’s one of the few things in life that can’t be calculated or controlled, and that’s the point. You just have to go with it.” 🥹

Sick to my stomach over the 529 plans

“There is nothing remotely admirable about letting something good walk away just because you want to win an argument.”

“Women had a way of dropping into your life, turning everything upside down like a tornado, and then magically making everything ten times better. They could repaint a grey existence in technicolor.” 😭

“People are too stingy with saying I love you. There’s nothing mature or enlightened about withholding love and not telling someone how you feel. The only person who loses out is you because you don’t get their love in return.” 😭

“Don’t bother yourself with the opinions of unimportant people. Unimportant people are quick to criticize and slow to support. It’s a pity that people are so concerned with cramming love into a one size fits all box instead of just celebrating it.”
