“Four sets of squats and I’ll be high on endorphins for at least a day, fantasizing about the strength of my thighs crushing the souls of a thousand men.”

“My entire life, I thought I needed to hold on to love with an iron fist. It was a feeling I needed to trap, to smother, so it wouldn’t slip through my fingers. Little did I know, when you’re with the right person, being in love never feels like the bottom is going to fall out. It’s solid, stable, and indestructible.” ― Amy Lea, Exes and O's
“Also, it's offensive and demeaning to be written off as crazy. Especially given the stigma of mental health. And maybe the real issue here is that some men can't confront their emotions. Instead of taking responsibility for your own behavior, it's easier to screw us, write us off as loons, and forget about us.” ― Amy Lea, Exes and O's
“. loving myself isn’t realistic at all times. I’m allowed to feel self-conscious and sad at times, but also confident and happy at other times, as long as I’m accepting and respecting myself. And I want you on my team.” ― Amy Lea, Set on You
“You can’t be the sun to all people without eventually burning out.” ― Amy Lea, Woke Up Like This
“For some reason, I always thought adults made decisions with purpose. That they knew what they were doing all the time. But maybe adults are just like teens, bumbling around aimlessly, unsure if they’ve gotten it right.” ― Amy Lea, Woke Up Like This
“when you’re with the right person, being in love never feels like the bottom is going to fall out.” ― Amy Lea, Exes and O's
“My dear, you have a lot to learn about relationships if you think all problems can be solved by a single conversation.” ― Amy Lea, Exes and O's
“his Instagram bio reads Dog dad to Albus Doodledore.” ― Amy Lea, Set on You
“Maybe Mom was right. Maybe not all friends are meant to be in your life for the long haul. Not being friends anymore doesn’t have to involve a catastrophic fight. No one means to hurt the other person. People just move on with life. Sad as it is, it also brings me a sense of peace.” ― Amy Lea, Woke Up Like This
“Also, don’t ask me how I know this because it’s embarrassing, but those leggings you like at Lululemon are on sale.” ― Amy Lea, Set on You
“I’ve always been a bit of an anomaly, finding purpose not through what I do but through my relationships with friends and family. But when everyone is absorbed with their own lives, where does that leave me at the end of the day?” ― Amy Lea, Exes and O's
“I don't think confidence and self-worth is something you magically attain. And you don't simply hold on to it forever like a tangible object. It's fluid. You can be confident in every aspect except one. Or something could happen and all your confidence can be shattered in an instant. Like the Instagram photo. It doesn't mean you don't inherently love yourself to the core.” ― Amy Lea
“men south of sixty who regularly read fiction are an endangered species that must be protected at all costs.” ― Amy Lea, Exes and O's
“Crystal” I don’t think he’s my type “Grandma Flo “Oh honey, He’s everyone’s type!” ― Amy Lea, Set on You
“When I was growing up, there was only one Disney princess who looked like me. And Mulan was great, don't get me wrong. But just because I didn't have blond hair like the other princesses didn't mean I couldn't be who I wanted to be.” ― Amy Lea, Exes and O's
“I want everyone who doesn’t conform to mainstream beauty standard to know that they are worthy of an epic love.” ― Amy Lea
“The seams of my proverbial corset threaten to burst with suppressed delight. I’m not a horror reader, but men south of sixty who regularly read fiction are an endangered species that must be protected at all costs.” ― Amy Lea, Exes and O's
“Hanging out with Scott is always light. Even when one of us is in a particularly bad mood, we're clutching our stomachs in rip-roaring laughter fifteen minutes later. Laughter is a staple when we're together. I don't think anyone else has ever made me cackle to the point of tears and stomach pains, as if I've done an entire ab-ripper routine. And when he's not around, I miss him.” ― Amy Lea
