- Hold eye contact with people for a little longer than expected.

- Faith coming back , which realistically shouldn't bother me because it's likely just because of lockdown, & even if it isn't, she's going to fuck off eventually after sticking to her little popularity circle & only interacting with her chosen few.
- My mom being passive aggressive & refusing to acknowledge that her behavior at Easter was problematic & hurtful because why would she? No I don't want to talk to you, you called me fat, shamed me for eating less when you know I 1) don't eat pork or lamb & 2) already struggle with food.
- And if this surprises you, maybe revisit that abominable "intervention" you staged with dad because you were "worried" that I was "getting fat" & needed to see a health coach & bariatric surgeon.
- Dez's comment about not coming back because I write Clary now , which is exactly why I didn't want to a...

- The now defunct challenges area is especially excellent
- You can find them organized & grouped mostly here
- 30 Day Be a Better Me & 30 Day Live a Better Life aren't free, but they're fucking wonderful & I do them both 1x a year to keep up with my own progress. It helps.

- Count five things that your dog loves, and if they can't enjoy three of those things anymore, then it's clear your pet’s quality of life is dropping & it might be time :'(
- If he only calls or texts after 10 at night, he's not interested in anything other than what's under your belt.
- Staying with someone because "you don't want to hurt them" is a really shitty reason to stay.
- If he erases his texts directly before handing you his phone, be suspicious.
- If you're confused about if he likes you or not, TAKE THE DAMN INITIATIVE.
- Parents aren't always right. They're just never "wrong."
- An ex is an ex for a reason. Think about it.
- Never be afraid to say "No."
- Conversely, never be afraid to say "Yes."...
