Get out of the house. Go to the library. Buy an expensive coffee. Work out. Run. Listen to pop songs. Spend time with friends. Drink whisky. Watch bad teen comedies from the 90s. Get a new pair of boots. Pet your cat. Remember that you are incredibly young and have literally no control over when you’re going to die or how and that the universe affords you limitless opportunities. Make a sexy mistake. Teach yourself French. Take steps to become the person you want to be. Read comics. Get off the internet.

Love beats the shit out of us all, and we either sit around at home wondering ‘why me?’ or we put our armour on, remember that we deserve to be happy and fight like hell for it.

I’m sorry that it hurts. It won’t always.
