http://tesslynch.tumblr.com/post/8571601796/28-for-28 Don’t bother with someone you’re not attracted to. Or someone who hates your gender. Or someone who can’t let a fat stranger pass by without leaning over to whisper in your ear, look how fat. Or someone who’s bad at talking and prefers grunting. Unless those are all things you do, of course. Being with someone just to be with someone is like giving yourself mononucleosis: out of commission for a year, unable to drink alcohol without pain, and drained of your life force in general.
[learn] to stop listening to haters who just exist to criticize people, and to stop plotting their murders in your mind.
