“I firmly believe in small gestures: pay for their coffee, hold the door for strangers, over tip, smile or try to be kind even when you don’t feel like it, pay compliments, chase the kid’s runaway ball down the sidewalk and throw it back to him, try to be larger than you are— particularly when it’s difficult. People do notice, people appreciate. I appreciate it when it’s done to (for) me. Small gestures can be an effort, or actually go against our grain (“I’m not a big one for paying compliments…”), but the irony is that almost every time you make them, you feel better about yourself.”

I’m in love again.

The past few years have been huge for me.

The most certain thing of all: I didn’t expect to be where I am now.

I am the most confident I’ve ever been. The most certain in understanding myself - learning how to set my boundaries and driven in pursuing my dreams.

In the process, one of my closest friends has been with me all along.

My unofficial “date” to most functions where we were surrounded by couples. My favourite training partner, shot-gun buddy and one of the biggest dorks I know.

Thank you for being patient with me. Thank you for waiting it out.

I’ve had multiple people tell me this is the healthiest they’ve ever seen me - and I’ve never had so many people be so excited for two people to be together.

I’m so glad we’re here now. 

I love you.

“Hey I forgot something in your car -”

“I’ll turn around now.”

“So technically I didn’t forget anything in your car, and I realize that this may not be common practice, but I just wanted to kiss you.”

“I’m really glad you called. I was hoping you would.”

To my bestie

I remember meeting the bride when we were in grade 10.

I remember being intimidated, initially. I remember thinking that there was no way this girl would want to be my friend; she’s already so put together and I am chaos.

Here we are, almost 12 years later. We finished high school, started university, lived together, survived some of the most horrific losses either of us could have ever imagined - but we have always had each other’s back. Even when we fell apart, we have always been in each other’s corner. Always cheering on. Always a phone call away, always down for a drink... always.

Aly Paly - I am so proud of the person you are. Knowing that you have married someone who makes you whole is one of the greatest joys I will have.

I love you always - forever your girl.

"But how do I get popular on tumblr if there's no algorithm??"

1: Being internet popular is not a good goal to have. Having your skill recognised is. But those two things are not the same.

2: You have to actually interact with the other human beings on this site. There is no shortcut.

Yesterday I learned my ex boyfriend has a dog with his new girlfriend.

I learned that my ex boyfriend has a new girlfriend.

They have a dog together.

If anyone does actually read these, you’ll know how deeply I loved him.

I still love him.

I always will, I think.

The person that I love more than anything loves someone else enough to get a dog with her.

This same person who broke up with their girlfriend of six years over text message, is in a serious enough of a relationship with someone new to get a dog with her.

How come he gets to be happy first?

How come I still pine for a person who doesn’t exist anymore?

Someone who maybe never existed at all.

I hope they’re happy.

As much as it absolutely hurts to know it’s not me, I am really glad it’s not me.
