"Focus on being a whole version of yourself rather than a fraction of someone else."
"People always wonder that if they make a change and they hate it, they will always want to go back to the way things were. But to go to the other extreme, what if you make a change and you love it so much you never want it to end? If you’re going to worry about hating a change, try to also balance that view with the thought that you could love the change a million times more than you might hate it."
Live the highway in your home
"Between the bars there is nothing. Look close enough and you'll realize that there's more nothing than bars."
"In relationships, the problem isn’t that life is too short, it’s that life is too long. Life is be too long to spend each day staring at a phone that doesn’t ring; life is too long to spend each day silently wishing your boyfriend or girlfriend treated you better; life is too long to come home to a house each day and be unhappy with who you are sharing it with. Life is too long to be unexcited about who you share your heart with."
“All I can do is be me, whoever that is.”

"A placeholder job, school, or relationship can usually become an ideal job, school, or relationship with just a little extra effort and a little extra courage."
"People always think of life-changing decisions as really big changes. But in many ways, the most life-changing decisions are when you decide not to change: not to try a new city, not to try a new hobby, not to try something new. Keeping things the way they are is just as life-changing as deciding to change them–for better or worse."
“Everything after that is just a title”
