I Need You to Read This

by Jessa Maxwell

It is surprisingly satisfying solving other people’s problems, she thinks. Much easier than fixing your own.

There are certain people who appreciate your vulnerability and certain people who will try to use it against you. But they can’t if you don’t let them.

I don’t pretend to be wise, but I am observing, and I see a great deal more than you’d imagine. I’m interested in other people’s experiences and inconsistencies, and, though I can’t explain, I remember and use them for my own benefit.

You have to allow yourself to be vulnerable if you want to receive anything good this world has to offer.

We can never get back time—it’s one of life’s biggest tragedies but also one of its greatest motivators. If things were not finite, there would be no need to ever evaluate what is most important to us.
