Hotel on the Corner of Today and Tomorrow

Happiness is about being proud of who you are. Be a good friend, be a good daughter, be reliable, be willing to laugh when things get tough, compliment other girls, care about your job, believe in yourself, be vulnerable, tell the truth, apologize when needed, forgive people…

It’s important to know that there is a difference between listening to your instinct and listening to your gut. Your gut knows everything. But your gut isn’t cocky. It isn’t loud. It doesn’t force you to listen to it. It subtly lets you know what’s right, and then it gets quiet while you figure it out the hard way. Your instincts are trained habits that you created somewhere along the way. And they are usually just what you’re comfortable with. And some of us are comfortable being unhappy, being taken advantage of, being walked all over, ignored, overlooked, under respected, being made to settle.

The Frenemy.: When I'm In a Rut

thefrenemy:

There’s a low point you reach at bars sometimes.

I get it, I’m in my twenties, I’m supposed to high five people at bars. I’m supposed to be enveloped in the kind of life that supports people who wear plaid shirts and Axe body Spray and tips a dollar for drinks. I’m supposed to wait on bathroom…

The Frenemy.: Your Life Is Not A Movie

thefrenemy:

This is the only dating advice I can give, really.

The reality of it is this: I plan on making sugar cookies this weekend. You know the ones, the ones with cardboard exploding tubes that landmine sugar cookie dough all over your counter? There are pumpkins in the middle of these sugar cookie…

You want to be happy? Go out there and realize you’re the only person watching yourself, and if you want to be happy, you better go out there and stop fantasizing. Climb out of your brain. Stop expecting things to work out or happen. They will not on their own, because that’s fucking life. Tell somebody you’re crazy about them. Go up to somebody and ask for their number. Kick somebody the fuck out of your life. Do whatever it is you want to do that’s stuck in your head and can’t get out. Your life is not a movie, but you deserve to have a good fucking life. I do promise you this, though- if you put your shit out there, you will get shit on. You will have terrible days. But you will have real, real things, and I promise you the finale will be much more spectacular in the end. And while you are not entitled to love, the more you live, the more you will happen to find it.
So if you want the movie, be the goddamn director.
