“i try to teach my heart not to want things it cannot have.”
it’s been a rough and tumble couple of weeks for me.
but i’ve come up with some fortunate truisms, which is sort of the redeeming grace of any and all circumstances.
-all criticism should be welcome. most criticism is rooted in fact, though opinion plays a big part.
-listening to someone telling you all the things that they hate about you, and how these things make you unappealing to them, is really conducive to a slackening of the emotional hold that someone may have had over you.
-sometimes, there is nothing quite as freeing as a dramatic haircut.
-never assume that something is too small to bring a little happiness to the day.
-listen to alice walker at all times. (see quote that is the title of this post)
i’ll be back in the swing of things by january. and i MIGHT have an excellent surprise in store…
