10 THINGS EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW


1. We are all broken, that’s how the light gets in.
2. See that stunning woman over there? She has just as many body hang-up as you do.
3. Don’t look for a hero to save you, sometimes it’s the Princess who slays the dragon.
4. When someone tries to dim your light, show them just how fiercely you can shine.
5. If you feel like second best, walk on out with your head held high.
6. Don’t be fooled by the Facebook facade, everyone wakes up with morning breath.
7. Never compare, that’s for fools. Focus on what makes you, you – and be the freaking best at it.
8. Big up your fellow women, every day. There is room for every star to shimmer.
9. We all have rolls when we bend over and we all eat ice-cream straight from the carton.
10. Never be ashamed to cry, or even leak, for that matter – the female body is 90% water – that’s got to come out somehow right?
Oh and one more…
Don’t waste any precious tears or time on someone who doesn’t see your worth. If they don’t now, they never will. Their loss.

Trump is not a la carte. You don't get to pick what you like about him -like judges & tax cuts - and pass on the hateful, violent rhetoric.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, not longer exist. - Hannah Arendt

One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors. - Plato.
