A reminder for myself:

-Even though someday you will more than likely be a girlfriend, fiance, wife, and then mother, today is not that day, and that is not just okay, but how it's meant to be.
(LIVE life for what it is now. Dreaming is good, but wishing away your present is wasteful.)

-No matter what you're going through, pity-parties are bullshit.
(In the words of my father, "Rub some dirt in it and don't get mad [or sad]. Get even.")
