Anonymous asked: who or what do you turn to for advice, specifically about dating and relationships? i ordered your book after reading through months of your formspring/tumblr, and the advice you've given has played a big role in my healing from a failed relationship. I've held my tears back and stayed "strong" as others advised--but that's made it worse. I was really able to let it all out after reading "let it fill you up, consume you, tear you apart, and then pick yourself back up." To hurt is to heal. thanks

My favorite personal mantra — life isn’t fair but that’s what makes it so amazing. Let everything change you. And hopefully, for the better.

As for myself, I’m a big fan of listening to other people’s stories, as well as living my own. I was watching Oprah’s new show Master Class. And one of the biggest lessons from those who have lived and loved and thrived has been… instinct guides us.
