Whenever I think I have someone figured out they always surprise me. Sometimes in a wonderful way. Sometimes in really tragic ways.
Sex on a first date is only as good as the alcohol you consumed before it. So make sure to always and only drink damn fine cocktails.
Just because a man is 10 years older than the last guy you dated doesn't mean his emotional maturity is going to be any greater.
Just because a man can't handle your intensity doesn't mean you should tone down your sparkle.
Just because a man's insecure girlfriend can't handle your intensity doesn't mean you should tone down your sparkle.
Find something that makes you happy and consistently make time for it. When you start to feel blue it's because you aren't making time for your creative outlet.
Exercise. Run. Climb. Dance. Whatever it is but MOVE. You cannot truly be content if you aren't active.
Listen to your gut. If you need to stay at home and read a book alone, do it. If you need to meet up with a friend you haven't seen in years at 11:30pm, do it. No one knows what you truly need in that moment but YOU.
Let go. The people you love who don't love you back. The friends who don't get you. The people who don't delight in you aren't true members of your tribe. Release them so new people who do find you inspiring will fall into your life.
Talk to strangers. You never know who has an inspiring story or word of wisdom to impart on you.
That 'People come in & out your life for a reason' expression that always feels annoyingly contrived is actually really fucking true. It just takes time to realize it.
Anything. And I mean fucking A-NY-THING is possible. There is always something unexpected waiting for you. And this time, the surprise will be fantastic. I promise.
Always take pictures. They're little pieces of artwork that immortalize times in your life you would otherwise forget.
Gorgeous! And do I recognise that green dress? Be well...
