Maturity is what happens when one learns to only give a fuck about what’s truly fuckworthy.

Adulthood is the realization that sometimes an abstract principle is right and good for its own sake, that even if it hurts you today, even if it hurts others, being honest is still the right thing to do. In the same way that the adolescent realizes there’s more to the world than the child’s pleasure or pain, the adult realizes that there’s more to the world than the adolescent’s constant bargaining for validation, approval, and satisfaction. Becoming an adult is therefore developing the ability to do what is right for the simple reason that it is right.

The best relationships are between two people who need nothing but want to give each other everything.

You don’t feel loved until you trust that the love being expressed toward you comes without any special conditions or baggage attached to it.
