What Gets Me Through It
If there is anything that will never fail to excite me, it is the following:
1) a fabulous new pair of shoes
2) an unexpected compliment
3) procative young people who not only have great ideas but know how to make them a reality
What do these three have in common? They provide motivation and hope for the future. New shoes will inspire that extra boost of confidence and the promise of something new. Compliments are positive reinforcement that not only are you doing something well, but someone else notices. (And, let's be honest: Making it is all about getting people to notice you.) Proactives share passion in bettering themselves, each other, and the world around them.
As long as great minds collaborate, there is no stopping the creativity and innovation that will get them to the top. (And if you're doing that, you better wear the shoes and look the part.)
For the record, being at home with no schedule has affected my emotional health. The CW's Stylista pulled me out of my funk today, and I can't wait to get back to my life in LA. But for now, I will be working on mini-projects at home... First: unpacking. Yes, I've been home for a week, and my room still looks like I just came back from Italy.

Interning 101: Third Times the Charm
Life Lesson #93285:
When interning at a fashion magazine and working with designer clothing, shoes, and accessories, it is a fabulous idea to: a) trim fingernails completely, b) bring a nail file to work, and c) keep nails painted to hide the damage.
I don't think I've broken nails as frequently as I have in the past two weeks.

My Initial Reaction...

...to this post was not that it was about a significant other, but significant otherS. I am so blessed with amazing friends. I know I've been telling you repeatedly how important you are to me. I just don't think you can ever say "I love you" enough times when it comes to the people who you can completely trust to accept you unconditionally and get you through the hardest times in your life. Fab Five/Fab Guys, "you keep me young. Oh, I love ya so much." (Mean Girls)

Go With the Flow
Don't fight the current. Go with the downstream path. If it feels wrong, don't fight it. If it feels good, go with it. -Patrice Karst
I've had a lot of "Everything happens for a reason" realizations recently. I really do think 2008 has been my year. Things seem to be going my way. I've learned a lot. I've found myself happier and more carefree than I have ever been. I know how to choose positivity. Plus, good things are happening in most parts of my life. I feel closer to people. I know what I'm doing in terms of school and work. I don't know exactly where I'm going, but it feels okay.
Now I'm wondering if the one thing that doesn't feel right is not necessarily part of the "good things in my life that will eventually happen when the time is right." Perhaps it's a test. I've come this far; will I let one thing completely turn over everything I've worked for?
I asked for a sign, and today I got one. I don't know what will happen after May 2009, but I'm putting the outcome in the hands of fate. Maybe playing it safe was always my weakness. Maybe I should stop setting limits.. Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars. :)
