I got everything I had wanted, every label I had ever hoped I would once possess, but I wasn’t sure I was still the version of myself that had dreamed of these things anymore

At some point we have to realize that the life we are living is something a younger version of ourselves would be so incredibly proud of.

…there’s a lot to be said for finding those people who would shout from the rooftops that yes, matcha does taste like grass.

Thanks to the grocery store, he gets to be a part of my past, not someone who defines my future.

It takes a brave person to teach someone how to become better, even when they have done dark things.

It’s okay to care. It’s okay that something was a big deal to you. It’s okay to be upset about the way that someone treated you.

Love where you are, and love where you’ve been all the same, because that way, you can love whatever the future holds too.

Appreciate the highs, recognize the lows, and laugh at the rhinos, life doesn’t need to be as serious as it feels all the time.

This one is my personal favorite: “Someday you will look back and know exactly why it had to happen.”
