Pep Talk: Quick! Now’s your chance to live the way you want to. You can go with the flow, blaze a trail, whatever! There isn’t one perfect way to do things. If you have a misstep, we’ll get over it. You do the best that you can and I’ll do the best that I can and life will unfold the way it’s meant to.

Today remind yourself: Now’s my chance.

Now IS my chance…but I haven’t yet figured out the life I want to live.  The reason I’m on this break with my boyfriend is to figure stuff like that out, but I still really miss him.

you are not the person in the mirror. you are your mother’s love, revere her. you are your father’s callused hands, respect him. you are the empty cup that was full to the brim. you are space you displaced, a pause in time. you are the current that sets to motion the static wind chime. you are the sculpture that everyone you know has touched. you are the heart in hand, firmly clutched. you are the immovable anchor, the directionless rudder. you are the smile that makes your soulmate shudder. you are the left turn, or the right direction. you are the spider’s weave, the measured connection. you are the echoes of footsteps down a barren hall, you are the horizontal tree, a noiseless fall. you are the flush of a virgin’s cheek, you are the memories housed in a timeless antique. you are the handle that opens doors, you are the sturdy table, supported by fours. you are the dust between here and the stars, you are the melody contained by bars. you are the muscles that pull your loved ones nearer, you are not the person in the mirror. no, you’re much grander than the three dimensions, you are the epiphany that someone mentions. you are the music that plays whenever it rains, you are everything your mind contains, you are the soul stains, when nothing else remains.

I feel like my friends and myself, at this point in our lives need a collective shake. A collective slap in the face. We are brilliant, creative people and some of us are working, some of us need to find work, but all of up are feeling this dark cloud. I an pretty convinced that if someone just slapped all of us, and screamed ‘wake the fuck up, you brilliant idiot!’ maybe some of us will start moving. And start doing more than what we need to do in order to survive.

For what it’s worth: it’s never too early or, in my case, too late to be whoever you want to be.
There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
So what are you waiting for?

7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook up and break up.
8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.

10. You’re the one calling the police because those damn kids next door won’t turn down the stereo.
11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.
12. You don’t know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.

16. You no longer take naps from noon to 6 PM.
17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.
18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle your stomach.
19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.
20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer “pretty good stuff”.
21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.

23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.
24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.
25. You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn’t apply to you and can’t find one to save your sorry old ass.
