Sometimes bravery is as simple as following your gut.

In middle school, my friends decided I was weird, and they didn’t like my hair. They ditched me and talked behind my back, which is cool — I’m over it. [laughs] One time I called them and said, “Hey, do you want to go to the Berkshire Mall?” They all gave me excuses and said no. So I go to the mall with my mom, and don’t you know, we run into all of them. Together. Shopping. My mom could see I was about to cry, so she said, “You know what? We’re going to the King of Prussia mall,” which was the mecca.

I have rules for a lot of areas of my life. Love is not going to be one of them.

I think I’ve developed this pattern of running away when it comes time to fall in love and stay in a relationship.
