This is so awesome.

You know what I hate? I really, really hate the “must be nice” sentiment. People say it ALL the time, and it always makes me cringe. I think it’s the asshat-iest thing one person can say to another. It implies you don’t appreciate what you have (like you said) and it implies you don’t deserve it and it implies that it has somehow been dropped in your lap and it implies that the person saying it has no control over their own circumstances (like you said.) ARGH IT MAKES ME FUCKING CRAZY.

Must be nice? Damn straight.

Good for you, babe.

hello haha narf: I love that about us. I like that we can be different and not feel threatened by that. We? Are clearly awesome.

Angie: someone tell Oprah. She’s going to want to see this, I’m sure of it!

Kelley: frozen. No salt. Thanks!

pocket queen: you should be really, really proud of yourself.

Lee the MWOB Queen: there is a word for that. Serendipity? Is that it?

(No- really – what’s the word?!?!)

Sarah: oh my God woman – college is MADE for opportunities to do shit you’ll never be able to do again!!

Colleen – Mommy Always Wins: it is definitely NOT easy. I think that’s why we get stuck sometimes.

Gudrun: thank you

Courtney: I am a huge, huge fan (kind of an obsession, really) of jumping out of the comfort zone.

That’s really inspiring. I feel like I’m in a bit of a rut myself. Completely overwhelmed with financial bullshit and no idea of what I want to do when my maternity leave is up. Maybe I should step out of MY comfort zone and sign up for something to change me… huh.

Oh Britt.
I love this post and I am so happy that you are so happy with your life. When my friends are happy I am happy.
This post makes me want to go out and do something. I can’t wait until school is over and I am in grad school and able to actually be out on my own and enjoying all the opportunities and struggles it holds.
Of course that doesn’t mean that I don’t have plenty of opportunities to do things while I am in college though.
Oh and you are totally my adoptive older sister right now. Just thought I’d let you know.
