"The Flapper awoke from her lethargy of sub-deb-ism, bobbed her hair, put on her choicest pair of earrings and a great deal of audacity and rouge and went into the battle. She flirted because it was fun to flirt and wore a one-piece bathing suit because she had a good figure, she covered her face with powder and paint because she didn’t need it and she refused to be bored chiefly because she wasn’t boring. She was conscious that the things she did were the things she had always wanted to do."

"I am really only myself when I’m somebody else whom I have endowed with these wonderful qualities from my imagination."

I knew it was a great mistake to let a girl like myself fall in love, but I just let myself go.

That’s why I like to keep busy, because if I don’t, I’m capable of having enough time to think.

And if I think,

well that’s just deadly.

Memories,

nostalgia 

and one aching heart.

You’re the only one that ever actually meant anything anyway

you were the first to make me cry. 

If you can’t be happy single, you won’t be happy in a relationship. I promise.

Love yourself first .
