It’s the most maddening, beautiful, magical, horrible, painful, wonderful joyous thing in the world, love

My mom and I have always been really close. She's always been the friend that was always there. There were times when, in middle school and junior high, I didn't have a lot of friends. But my mom was always my friend. Always.

Darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream.

Sitting on a bedroom floor crying is something that makes you feel really alone. If someone's singing about that feeling, you feel bonded to that person.

I have rules for life, but not for love. If I think too hard about a relationship, I'll talk myself out of it

I'm thankful that when I go to bed at night, that I have been myself that day. And, I have been myself all the days before that.

I'm perpetually single. Being alone is not the same as being lonely. I like to do things that glorify being alone. I buy a candle that smells pretty, turn down the lights, and make a playlist of low-key songs. If you don't act like you've been hit by the plague when you're alone on a Friday night, and just see it as a chance to have fun by yourself, it's not a bad day.
