Today’s twentysomethings spend more time single than any generation in history. Most will spend years on their own, somewhere between their childhood homes and families of their own
I can see why is that because honestly getting married seems scary for me. Even though I do want a family and all that but sometimes I think being single will be way more fun.

They should be some type of course on how to make a decision that might impact your life other than teaching us how to read and do math for 12 years straight.

Everybody around me was like, ‘No, this never happened before. Every artist that had a baby, they already put in years in the game. This is your first year. You’re going to mess it up. How are you going to make it?’
When people see something new or just something that hasn’t happen before they just think the worst. Cardi is doing just fine or even better. I think her baby gave her more motivation to push her career to become more successful.

In a long-standing relationship: Accept that we shouldn’t simply blame the other person for certain annoying characteristics – such as their distance or irritability. We can admit that this was part of what drew us to them in the first place.

When was twenty-one, I had my tonsils removed. I was one of those people who got strep throat every few minutes, and my doctor finally decided that I needed to have my tonsils taken out.
