I’m in love with you because I’m not obsessed with you. This is a distinction worth noting, one that took me a long time to learn. In the past, I would confuse obsession with love. If I felt things intensely and regarded my lover as a mentor, it would mean that I was in head over heels. They were all the way up there and I was down here, studying them like a dutiful pupil, and that dynamic felt comfortable to me. That wasn’t real love though. Real love isn’t rife with inequities. I’m in love with you because you’re my equal. We’re on the same page. It’s stable, unlike obsession, which is inherently erratic. — Ryan O’Connell, Thought Catalog

Both the Internet and reality TV have converged on a central idea: We all want to be famous. In the words of the immortal Rachel Barbara Berry, “being anonymous is worse than being poor. Fame is the most important thing in our culture now. — Ben Branstetter, Thought Catalog

Urban fashion has changed in that the uniform is not as concrete as it has been or probably ever will be. Meaning: there is a freedom to urban fashion and style that I never felt before as a teenager or as a college student or as a black person in a city where the black people are more community-oriented, more us vs. them-oriented, more This is What it Means to be Black-oriented.
People at work used to say that I dressed up everyday, but my clothes were not professional. Sometimes my shirts were crinkled. Sometimes my tights were torn. Frequently, I wore pairs of shorts that without tights would make me feel exposed and unfortunately vulnerable in the way that only develops in the early moments of summer. What they meant, I think, was that I dressed for myself. I dressed for me. I like what I like and that is that: a high-waist, a soft blouse, and those one or two items so strange that only a few relish in their beautiful-ugly.

You are single because you are single. It’s really as simple as that. You haven’t made the connection with another heart yet. You can get dolled up, dress cute, cut your hair, dye your hair, tweeze your eyebrows, put on lipstick and you may still. be. single. You can go out to a bar hoping to meet the love of your life and not find a damn one in the place attractive. And it’s going to remain that way until it’s time for you to find one. Stop hoping for it. Start living the life that you do have instead of wishing for things that you don’t have. There will come a time you’ll meet a boy and you’ll have to give up some of this single freedom you currently have. Start being more thankful. Start doing that now.”

Right now, I want a Friday kind of love. I want that possibility and recklessness and passion that only comes knowing there’s so much that could happen, and never mind that sometimes it doesn’t live up to your expectations. Even a bad Friday is better than most Sundays or Mondays or Tuesdays.

You’re going to fall in love with someone who will make sense beyond college or a job or a particular season. They’ll make sense forever and won’t ever want to leave you behind. I’m telling you this not because it’s true but because it NEEDS to be true. Everyone is entitled to this kind of love, so why not? Have it. It’s yours. Blow out the candles on your 30th birthday, holding their hand, and let out an exhale that’s been waiting for ten years. Do it. Now.

I’ve always said that the whole “love comes to those who aren’t expecting it” is BS. Who ISN’T expecting love? I didn’t expect love for two solid years and guess where it got me? Celibacy. You should always expect to be loved, you should always expect to find somebody to love because if you don’t, you do get your worst fears confirmed and then you’re a goner. Then you’re denying yourself what you deserve. What you can certainly have.

What They Say: “I love nerdy boys!”
What They Mean: “I love hot guys who happen to wear glasses and cardigans and would be open to watching Doctor Who with me. However, put me in front of an actual programmer who spends most of his evenings on Reddit and Steam, and there are no sneakers in the world that could survive how fast I would run away. My feet would literally combust from the friction against the pavement.”

Do anything you effing want. Because you can. This is the day that celebrates being in a relationship, so celebrate not being in one while you still can. You’re single. You don’t have to freak out about buying the perfect gift or busting your ass in the kitchen over a beautiful crème brulee, especially because you have the cooking skills of an ADD fifth grader.
