"
Your epitaph will begin: “She redefined what it meant to be a good woman.”
It will say: “She scaled mountains, in hiking boots and in heels. She started in her own backyard and then went all the way around the world. She accepted challenges with curiosity and determination. She emerged victorious regardless of outcome, knowing both the pleasure of success and the grace of failure. She tasted long hot days and cool still nights, at home wherever she found herself. She wasn’t always popular, but she was always true. She wasn’t always comfortable, but no one can say she didn’t enjoy her life. She explored her edges, increased her capacity, and lived as big as she could dream. Moved equally by bliss and pain, she played her heart out one moment at a time. She was dialed in. She was courageous. She was turned on.”
"— Yes!

"There’s a reason we drift toward attachment, I think, as we get older— attachment to people, to work, to things. As death moves closer, we try our hardest to dig in. We pound in the stakes so that our tents don’t blow away. Still, it makes sense to me that the perceptions we once had of ourselves would be hard to cast off. We miss our youth, our freedom—which is not the same thing as wanting it back. We may think it is, but it’s not."

Truth
- Life’s a gamble but the gamble doesn’t always have to be a reckless one.
- You’ve got to treat everyday as learning experience so that you don’t plateau.
- Understanding that anyone can always teach you something helps you appreciate the importance of humility.
- Learn from your mistakes and forever reassess because every mistake is fertile ground to replant yourself once you’ve begun to wilt.
- Try and keep trying to better yourself, to keep pushing for more, and to try to learn every single day so that you can give yourself the best chance to come out ahead.
“He’s probably not ready to settle down yet, and you’re the kind of girl that a guy marries. I had a crush on you in college but I was terrified to try to date you because, like, you’re everything. No guy in his right mind could break up with you, and I wasn’t ready for that, and I can guarantee…

Heart is pounding, why!?
Haven’t talked for half a year..
and now we’re only exchanging a few words.
why does it matter so much to me?
can’t even eat. heart’s racing…
a sign?
Yeah, I’m not as nice as I use to be.
Why? Because I’m tired of getting screwed over. I’m tired of trusting people, letting my walls come down, getting close to someone to just be backstabbed, having to build my walls higher than before, and losing someone over and over again.
