"I know, as an internet denizen, I'm supposed to put on the happy face and tell folks that everything is always roses and cherry blossoms with me." "I can't live that lie."

"Everyone needs that safe person that they can allow themselves to be vulnerable with."
"I had a lot of time to sit around and think about my life. What did I want, and how was I going to get it? What was I doing about it?"
"Life will happen and I will be back to square one, having gained nothing but heartache for my efforts. A regular reminder that I do not deserve this happiness that I keep aching for."
"Socks and stockings? Forget about it. I’ll wear them but only for as long as necessary."
Make yourself a priority because no one else will. Your happiness and life satisfaction are your responsibility.
