Once you've started cheating, does it really matter what your methods are?
It's just the way things are. And you can't dwell on what might have been. You have to look at what is.
Honestly, shopping beats therapy, anytime. It costs the same and you get a dress out of it.
The thing with giving up is you never know. You never know whether you could have done the job. And I'm sick of not knowing about my life.
For years now I've kind of operated under an informal shopping cycle. A bit like a farmer's crop rotation system. Except, instead of wheat, maize, barley, and fallow, mine pretty much goes clothes, makeup shoes, and clothes (I don't bother with fallow). Shopping is actually very similar to farming a field. You can't keep buying the same thing, you have to have a bit of variety. Otherwise you get bored and stop enjoying yourself.
In the end, you have to choose whether or not to trust someone.
The trouble with giving yourself a pep talk is, that deep down you know it's all bullshit.
It's not enough to believe! Don't you see that, you stupid girl? You could spend your whole life hoping and believing! If a love affair is one-sided, then it's only ever a question, never an answer. You can't live your life waiting for an answer.
The truth is, some relationships are supposed to last forever, and some are only supposed to last a few days. That’s the way life is.
Look into your heart- and go after what you really want.
She believes in love and romance. She believes her life is one day going to be transformed into something wonderful and exciting. She has hopes and fears and worries, just like anyone. Sometimes she feels frightened. Sometimes she feels unloved. Sometimes she feels she will never gain approval from those people who are most important to her. But she’s brave and good-hearted and faces her life head-on.
This is what happens. You tell your friends your most personal secrets, and they use them against you.
It's like I'm thirteen again and he's my crush. All I'm aware of in this entire roomful of people is him. Where he is, what he's doing, who he's talking to.
