One of my favorite quotes



"It's not so funny when we really get to the painful, lonely center of it all... Being lonely, being alone, for many people, sucks. I get it, I get it, I get it. But still I have to say that, yes, my true belief is that being with somebody who makes you feel shitty or doesn't honor the person you are, is worse... You want to believe that you are better than all the crap you've been taking from all these men all these years. Well, you are. You are an excellent, foxy human being worthy of love, and the only way you can pursue that ideas is by honoring yourself. At the very least this means ridding your world of dudes who are not worthy and setting a standard of excellence in your daily life.Let's start with this statistic: You are delicious. Be brave, my sweet. I know you can get lonely. I know you can crave companionship and sex and love so badly that it physically hurts. But I truly believe that the only way you can find out that there's something better out there is to first believe there's something better out there. I'll believe it for you until you're ready."
