Things I believe in….
I believe that “sleeping on it” always helps figure out life’s big problems. Unless you are sleeping on a rock, then I’m against it.
I believe if your $15 lip gloss makes you feel like a million bucks, it’s worth it.
I believe that the only thing more dangerous than a president with a narrow minded personal agenda, is a public who votes him into office. Twice.
I believe in forgiving people, not for them, but for yourself. I believe, this is easier said than done.
I believe that everyone belongs to someone.
I believe that drinking alone doesn’t make you an alcoholic. Only drinking alone, maybe…
I believe that a true, honest, platonic friendship rarely can occur between a man and woman, but that it can occur. I believe I’m cynical about this because I’m much more like Harry than Sally.
I believe the hardest lesson to learn is that you can’t help who you love, and trying to understand why you do, will lead to a weekly therapist appointment and a strange love affair with late night television.
I believe that you don’t have to call your best friend at 3am, to prove she’s your 3am friend.
I believe everyone looks prettier when they are happy and are happier when they are feeling pretty.
I believe in thank you notes, tipping even when the food wasn’t great, and solo break dancing performances at weddings.
I believe that crying when your sports team loses a big game is perfectly acceptable- crying every time they lose a game, is not.
I believe in regrets, and that I’m a girl who needs to say I have them.
I believe every song sounds better live, every pie tastes better homemade and every shoe is more fabulous when it’s on sale.
I believe teachers are undervalued. I believe I think this because I am, was, a) a teacher and b) someone who sees on a daily basis the gigantic impact a teacher has on students. I also believe that anyone who utters the phrase ‘two month holiday’ in regards to how easy teachers have it, has never heard the phrase ‘ school wide lice outbreak’.
I believe that money provides freedom, and freedom provides happiness.
I believe “I’m sorry” always sounds better than “I apologize”.
I believe you can love someone more deeply and clearly than ever before, and still be the absolutely wrong person for them. I believe that knowing this, doesn’t always bring comfort, in fact, it usually doesn’t.
I believe that a woman should choose what she does with her body. I also believe, that abortion shouldn’t be used as a form of birth control. I believe that this is a topic that needs more than three sentences to be fully explained.
I believe opening your presents on Christmas Eve is cheating.
I believe that forgiving someone doesn’t mean you need to be friends with them.
I believe if someone wants to propose marriage to you, they will. I believe that asking for a proposal is asking for something I would never want.
I believe in the usefulness of interactive toys, light up games and sturdy Baby Einstein books. I also believe that an empty refrigerator box is the best gift you can give a child.
I believe that unless you voted, you haven’t earned the right to complain about the government.
I believe every success I’ve had has been the result of parents who gave me a truckload of confidence and an eye for great handbags.
I believe people need to let the Anna Nicole thing go. Seriously. Charges against her ex bf and baby daddy?!
I believe being ‘complicated’ doesn’t make you interesting. Some of the most fascinating people I know are those who live life simply, without the tanglements of drama.
