turns out, reading a lot, exercising, loving people without expecting anything back, protecting your alone time, focusing only on improving yourself, and sometimes staying out late with friends who make you laugh until it hurts is a pretty good way to live.
girls, we need to frantically and obsessively start reading books and finish them in less than 24 hours again.... remember how happy we were back then??
learn to be alone. eat alone, sleep alone, vibe alone, heal alone. be so confident that you can bloom without opinions and approvals. and if you ever doubt yourself, always remember who you were and how far you've come.
