I think you’re finally an adult when you can look at your parents as people going through their own shit, rather than just seeing them as unfeeling tyrants here to make your life miserable.
You can’t be a good friend to someone else unless you’re a good friend to yourself first,
Never feel bad about cutting someone out of your life—sometimes that’s the only option. When you hang out with people who are true friends, you come away feeling lighter, more inspired to work hard, give love, and take care of yourself.
A friendship is just as much give-and-take and compromise as a romantic relationship, so you will get out what you put in.
From the moms’ point of view, it has got to be hard to have to look at your daughters and say, “I don’t understand why you’re not getting it. I told you—I did that, and it turned out horribly, and you’re still going to do it?”
growing up is hard, and that, contrary to what people try to tell you all the time, there is no such thing as a perfect life.
