9. When my roommate empties the dishwasher so I don’t have to because really, I might take another day with that

17. When people acknowledge my sneezes
18. Having a really good laugh with somebody you just met and it’s like, oh people aren’t all trash
19. A really good view of something, preferably a skyline or ocean. It’s fun to have depth of emotion!

26. A burrito one can be proud of, with no dry rice or chunks of salsa and the cheese is melted

Things I’ve Learned

thefrenemy:

Here are some things I’ve probably learned by now. Please note that some of these things I should have learned by now but it hasn’t quite set in yet. Please note that some of these things I am so, so close to finally getting. I am a sloppy work-in-progress.

• Everything is worse and better and bigger at night and in the exact moment you’re having it, and then it’s just ‘oh wah no big, dirt off my shoulders I wasn’t sobbing ALL NIGHT or anything’
• cry it out, run it out, talk it out, ice cream it out, just get it out of heeeaaah
• I don’t care how stupid this SOUNDS but wearing a good nice outfit sure makes you feel great as hell, so do that
• Smile every once and a while and sit up straight and people won’t constantly think you’re the lady in the corner who’s gonna burn down the place
• You can’t burn down the place but you should fantasize about it
• I don’t care how old you are, fantasize as much as possible
• It’s your body, goddamnit, so you decide what to do with it, okay POLITICS?!??!
• If you are going out drinking, leave a bottle of iced tea in the fridge for the morning and you will liken yourself to a GOD come sunrise
• Call your mother or whatever family member is required to hear your boring bullshit because most people don’t want to hear that
• If you have to ask a friend if “YOUR CRUSH” likes you, they don’t.
• No really
