Rules to being a positive, happy, empowered bish

Today I found a list on my phone that I wrote while I was going through a weird period of transition and shedding a lot of negative things. “I’ve got new rules, I count ’em:”

1. Don’t online shop. And especially not from China. It will not fit you sweetie.
2. Don’t tweet unless it’s funny. Don’t share your problems with the world. Very few people genuinely care about your life so just send those people a group chat about your stupid daily struggles.
3. Find comfort in knowing no one cares about your life. It’s very liberating.
4. This kind of contradicts #3 but it’s okay to feel raw and vulnerable and to ask for help if you need support. Just understand that social media is not he channel for it 9 times out of 10.
5. Girl, you do not need to buy another red lipstick. You have 8. That’s 6 too many.
6. Hug mom and dad everyday.
7. It’s okay to laugh when you’re sad. It’s okay. And it’s okay to cry when you’re sad. You’ll be okay.
8. Friends are far and few and not everyone has to like you. In fact it’s a great sign that people who you don’t respect or flow with don’t like you. If they don’t fit then I guess they aren’t the vibe.
9. People carrying energy is real. And people’s energy…
