“If there’s a prize for rotten judgment
I guess I’ve already won that
No man is worth the aggravation
That’s ancient history, been there, done that!
Who’d’ya think you’re kiddin’
He’s the Earth and heaven to you
Try to keep it hidden
Honey, we can see right through you
Girl, ya can’t conceal it
We know how ya feel and
Who you’re thinking of
It’s too cliche
I won’t say I’m in love”
I LOVE THIS SONG
—2 Days in Paris
The last line of the engagement video hubub that went on while I was out running errands made me think of it.
This is the internet and it’s impossible to post anything ernest and cute without a backlash (except for maybe cute pictures of animals). The great thing is that just like that annoying girl I went to high school with who spends all day updating about her kids and how much she misses her husband on facebook there’s a hide button if it bothers you. Maybe it’s not the way everyone dreams of getting engaged, but i’m sure this is the happiest day for those two people and all they’ve ever have hoped for. And I think that’s great. I like when people are happy and in love. It gives me hope that it exists out there in whatever form you want it for yourself.
Growing up my parents shared these lessons of love and relationships that I have carried with me through out my life:
My dad said to me: Find something you’re passionate about and do it and if you’re lucky along the way you’ll find someone to love who loves you to do it with.
My mother said: Erika, you need to find someone who finds your shit endearing.
If i get married, i hope it’s to a man who fits both of those criteria.

Thank you Erika. Let me reiterate: hide it if you don’t like it, and it doesn’t matter if it’s not your perfect idea because it’s not your moment.
For a generation that prides itself on being tolerant of others choices, people sure can be judgmental assholes sometimes.

i’ve been a very good girl, so i bought these to reward myself. originally priced at $160, they came home with me for a mere $60. the salesgirl called over her manager and asked, “are these marked correctly? they’re way too affordable,” like it was a crime. shut up, little twit! those booties are coming home with me.
PROPS, sara zucker.
but today, right now, in this moment, i am so content and so very happy. things are good, and they’re looking up every minute.
i seem to have forgotten my words to live by—‘happiness is a journey, not a destination’ and i’ve spent so much of my time looking towards the future lately. i’ve kind of forgotten to remember to enjoy the present. i keep thinking, ‘next year is going to be so much better’ but the thing to remember is, right now is pretty good too.
