what I’ve learned in the past year

In a nutshell…

It is better to be someone’s priority than to be their option.
Lots of things suck, but they’re balanced by lots of things that don’t suck.
People will disappoint you. It’s up to you to decide how disappointed you want to be.
When something feels wrong, it’s wrong.
Trust your gut. As women, we’re made to feel silly for trusting our gut, and that’s total bullshit.
You don’t have to know the answers to everything, or even half of everything.
Showing up can be the hardest thing to do.
To quote Maya Angelou, for the millionth time, “The first time someone shows you who they are, believe them.” It’s a lesson I’m still learning, but I’ll get it right one day.
If he doesn’t text back, he’s probably not interested.
What’s really important to you may not even blip on someone else’s radar. We only see a small fraction of other peoples’ lives. So calm down.
It’s only scary if you make it scary.
Laziness is an abhorrent trait.
Waking up sucks, but you’ll get more done if you wake up earlier rather than later. So just wake up earlier. Drink some coffee. Or take some amphetamines, whatever gets your train rolling.
You can’t rush into your next relationship. It happens when you’re not trying. Because that’s when you’re free.
You have to do the best with what you have. No excuses.
Excuses are weaknesses served as reasons. They’re not reasons.
Wine is never a bad idea.
