FiNaLLy!!!

I'll be moving to the Philippines soon. I have secured my plane ticket and shipped most of my stuff. School awaits me... and I can't contend my excitement right now. I'm looking forward to this new phase in my life.

Life is good! Life is beautiful!

(and that's how I choose to see it)

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
...enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own even if she never wants to or needs to.

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
...something perfect to wear if the employer or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour.

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
...a youth she's content to leave behind.

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
...a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to re-telling it in her old age.

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
...a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra.

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
...one friend who always makes her laugh... and one who lets her cry.

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
...a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family.

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
...eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal that will make her guests feel honored.

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
...a feeling of control over her destiny.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW
...how to fall in love without losing herself.
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW
... HOW TO QUIT A JOB, BREAK UP WITH A LOVER, AND CONFRONT A FRIEND WITHOUT RUINING THE FRIENDSHIP.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW
...when to try harder... and WHEN TO WALK AWAY.
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW
...that she can't change the length of her calves, the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents.
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW
...that her childhood may not have been perfect... but its over.
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW
...what she would and wouldn't do for love or more.
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW
...how to live alone... even if she doesn't like it.
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW
...whom she can trust, whom she can't, and why she shouldn't take it personally.
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW
...where to go... be it to her best friend's kitchen table... or a charming inn in the woods... when her soul needs soothing.
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW
...what she can and can't accomplish in a day... a month...and a year.
