15 Things

Fifteen things I have learned in the past fifteen years of my life:

1. Whenever possible, drink from curly straws.
2. Don’t get too comfortable.
3. Only touching something when you know where it’s been gets boring quickly.
4. Silence can be passed off as grace.
5. The cure for heartbreak is realizing that hearts don’t actually break.
6. Keep shoes off the table unless you’re tapdancing on it.
7. Trying to be sexy is oxymoronic.
8. Many unexpected things can be successfully used as a mixer for vodka.
9. However milk is not one of them.
10. Do not wait for permission.
11. Romance does not come in shades of pink and red.
12. It’s not what you do, it’s what it does to you.
13. Things do not in fact happen for a reason.
14. You don’t have to.
15. No, you really don’t.
