BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW BILL CLINTON MOUTHES “THAT’S MY GIRL” CAN WE FUCKING TALK ABOUT THAT.

Listen, I voted for her, but in my heart I don’t know that I’ve had many moments of truly liking or admiring her. But this moment? This poise? This complete self-control (in a situation where sexist men would expect her to be falling apart)? I have never been prouder or more admiring of someone. I agree, Bill. That’s our girl.

I went for a walk among the trees today. Turns out I had not remembered they invited me to a ball, but as the winds whispered their songs, the leaves dances all around me and I could not help but join in the celebration.

Sometimes I feel like I need to surround myself not with positive affirmations but grounding affirmations.

“The only thing that is permanent is impermanence.” “We all fuck up sometimes.” “You’ve probably been an asshole too.” ”You’re happy now, but you might be sad tomorrow. It happens.”

My first day at my new job was full of so much new information and I worked my butt off but I’m happy. Everyone there was so positive and supportive and kind. It’s amazing what that can do. Also, I have my own office, an assistant, and get hour breaks every day. I about cried.
