Words of Pseudo-Wisdom

Ah, there are few things I am certain of in this life.

1) No one will keep or remember their New Years Resolutions, six months in.

2) True love isn't about soul mates or destiny, it's about two people who are adult enough to realize it will be a struggle many days, but that they love each other enough to work on it.

3) Contrary to what John says: a birthday is not just another day. It's the one day of the year that people are forced to believe that you are the princess you know you are. Birthdays should be extended to birth-month celebrations.

4) If someone shows you who they are: be it a giver, a liar, or anything else- BELIEVE THEM. Don't stay in a toxic relationship, thinking it will change.

5) Your family is just that- people bound to you by blood. You don't really have any obligation to keep your great aunt or whomever in your life because they are family. If they are scummy, keep them out.

6) If someone says: "You think you're better than me," it's truly indicative of who they are. They are very insecure of who they are in comparison to you. If someone accuses you of being self involved, they are probably insecure about being self involved themselves. People who spit out nastiness have a lot of nastiness inside them and you should brush it off.

7) Love is all you need. Love and everything that comes with it. Respect, trust, honesty, commitment, hard work: all of these are things that go hand and hand with love and you can't get very far without the whole package. That's true of every relationship in your life: family, friends, significant others, and coworkers and bosses.

8) I refuse to be in my sixties and complain about the things I wish I had done when I was younger. I have a long list of things to do, and I intended to check them off. Life is the longest thing you will ever experience, and you should make the most of your time and do as much as possible and experience as much as possible.

9) Back rubs are God's way of saying: Either this person really cares about you, or you really care about yourself to pay for this. Either way, it's an expression of love.

10) The world would be a more magical place if people broke out into song randomly.


Happy New Year. Share the love, and most of all: Love Yourself. If you don't love yourself, who the hell else is gonna love you?


(Yup, that last line was stolen from RuPaul. But hey: it works and it's right. I always make sure I'm number one, and I've got a lotta people showin' me love in my life.)
