one of my favorite moments with one of my favorite people
A real friend cleans up with you after you clog the toilet and cause a flood in the bathroom.

"Three things in life a girl needs: LOVE to make her weak, ALCOHOL to make her strong, & A BEST FRIEND to pick her up when both make her hit the floor."

This is the thing: When you hit 28 or 30, everything begins to divide. You can see very clearly two kinds of people. On one side, people who have used their 20s to learn and grow, to find … themselves and their dreams, people who know what works and what doesn’t, who have pushed through to become real live adults. Then there’s the other kind, who are hanging onto college, or high school even, with all their might. They’ve stayed in jobs they hate, because they’re too scared to get another one. They’ve stayed with men or women who are good but not great, because they don’t want to be lonely. … they mean to develop intimate friendships, they mean to stop drinking like life is one big frat party. But they don’t do those things, so they live in an extended adolescence, no closer to adulthood than when they graduated.
Don’t be like that. Don’t get stuck. Move, travel, take a class, take a risk. There is a season for wildness and a season for settledness, and this is neither. This season is about becoming. Don’t lose yourself at happy hour, but don’t lose yourself on the corporate ladder either. Stop every once in a while and go out to coffee or climb in bed with your journal.
Ask yourself some good questions like: “Am I proud of the life I’m living? What have I tried this month? … Do the people I’m spending time with give me life, or make me feel small? Is there any brokenness in my life that’s keeping me from moving forward?”
Now is your time. Walk closely with people you love, and with people who believe … life is a grand adventure. Don’t get stuck in the past, and don’t try to fast-forward yourself into a future you haven’t yet earned. Give today all the love and intensity and courage you can, and keep traveling honestly along life’s path.

![Family and friends are slowly returning home for the holidays :) there really is something different in the air! or maybe it’s just the placebo effect… if that makes any sensible sense. either way, CHILL WID IT.
I don’t post that many (non-reblog) pictures, and I rarely ever post pics of myself here… but this picture shall suffice for now. My family’s xmas tree last year. can’t wait to put up the tree again soon.
