    You Don't Owe Anyone the Performance of Perpetual Happiness

    When you try to force yourself to be happy all the time, you stifle the valleys, the peaks, the flatlands, the mountains, the diverse emotional topography of the land that is you.

    your curiosity about my life is not something i am required to satisfy

    When people are being nosy, leave their questions unanswered. Especially when living an unconventional life, taking a unique path in life or choosing to be child-free--you will be questioned by the nosy and the presumptuous. Don't entertain them. You don't have to answer, explain or justify your choices. It's YOUR life, baby. Live it YOUR way. Wanna share your thoughts? Text me boo!

    not every hobby has to be a money maker

    Make time for the things you care about. Hobbies are important. Not every moment you spend in your life should be spent making money.
