We say “invest in yourself, and you’ll find love” — but what if you’ve already done that?

When I have my hands full with grocery or laundry bags, I don’t want to fish for my phone to activate my smart intercom. With this new method, all I have to do is press a physical button, and I’m in.

I love quotes, whether they be lyrics, dialogue from movies — anything. I've collected a long list that’s languished on the “About Me” section of my Facebook profile for five years, so I figured I’d give this a try.

This verse has been running through my mind:

”And, I wanna tell the truth to you
I wanna talk about my days as a youth to you

Exposing you to all my demons and the reasons I'm this way
I would like to paint a picture, but it'll take more than a day

It would take more than some years to get all over all my fears
Preventing me from letting you see all of me perfectly clear

The same wall that's stopping me
From letting go and shedding tears
From the lack of having father, and the passing of my peers

While I'm too scared to expose myself
It turns out, you know me better than I know myself
Better than I know myself, well how about that?”

— J. Cole, “She’s Mine Pt. 1”
