I’ve never really felt like I fit in. Being quite an introvert and a homebody, I’ve felt myself try to change on many occasions to please other people and to just be accepted. I’ve tried to be the girl that was too cool for school. The girl that only kept a few friends, hated all…
The trouble with people who are over-eager is that we are often over-everything. We are over-thinkers, we are over-dramatic, we over-romanticize, we are overwhelmed. So getting too excited about things just comes with the territory. Because one small possibility opens up so many doors for us. We non stop think about how this could work…
As an introvert, I have come to face the facts that I am really not meant to be as alone as my mind is telling me I need to be. I do need a lot of recharging after social situations, like a typical introvert, but just as a human I need those social situations. Because…

For me, it's the constant need to resist happiness. I think it goes along the lines of imposter syndrome. I had really…
In middle school, having a boyfriend was the only thing that was important. You're in your awkward phase and just need someone to tell you you're pretty.

Republished from 6/16/15 How many times have we heard the Sex and the City quote: “Maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates and guys are just people to have fun with.” It really couldn’t be more true.
