I have never been really big on quotes -- at least, not the type of quotes you see on Pinterest all the time that are super cheesy like, "You can't have a rainbow without a little rain." While it is a very true quote, it just strikes me as something you'd tell a small child, not an adult. I understand that not all people feel that way, but like I said earlier, I've never been really big on quotes. Because I am not a very big quote person, when I find one that I like, it isn't one that I forget easily.

These are the five quotes that have stuck out to me and remained my favorite quotes for quite some time now.

1. "If you think about human nature, our favorite pair of shoes are the ones we bought yesterday, our favorite thing is the newest thing that we have and the thing we've seen the most and for the longest period of time is our reflection in the mirror, so obviously, that's going to be our least favorite thing." -Taylor Swift

This is one of my favorite quotes because it has a lot of truth to it and it stuck out to me because I had not thought about it in the way that it is presented.

2. “When I was a little girl, I used to read fairy tales. In fairy tales you meet Prince Charming and he's everything you ever wanted. In fairy tales the bad guy is very easy to spot. The bad guy is always wearing a black cape so you always know who he is. Then you grow up and you realize that Prince Charming is not as easy to find as you thought. You realize the bad guy is not wearing a black cape and he's not easy to spot; he's really funny, and he makes you laugh and he has perfect hair.” -Taylor Swift

This is one of my favorite quotes for obvious reasons. I was that little girl who was obsessed with fairy tales and happy endings (I still am) but the truth to this has also made it one of my favorites.

3. "I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe / There I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about me." -John Mayer from "Edge of Desire"

This is from his song called "Edge of Desire," and it is one of my favorite quotes just because it shows how much he loves this person by saying he'll change what he believes in if it means that he can have her, and that is really romantic to me.

4. "My broken veins say that if my heart stops beating / We'll bleed the same way" - Matty Healy from The 1975

I'm really obsessed with this band and this quote has always been one of my favorites. This is from the song "Pressure" by The 1975.

5. "Whenever you feel unloved, unimportant, or insecure, remember to whom you belong." - Ephesians 2:19-22

This is a pretty self explanatory verse, but it's one that is very important to me.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
