A couple weeks back Susannah shared some words of wisdom she’s gained over the “many years” she’s been alive. Well, I’ve been alive a good many years, too, and I am Dear Wendy after all, so I figured I had a few pearls (OK, maybe a few beads) of wisdom to pass along as well. Check ‘em out after the jump.
- The best (straight) relationships happen when a man is just a wee bit more enamored with/attracted to the woman.
- If you expect your friends to never make mistakes or let you down, you’ll spend your life friendless.
- If your relationship is perfect “except for this one little thing,” it’s actually not perfect.
- If that “one little thing” is something you can live with, let it go.
- No one else notices those five extra pounds.
- Money spent on experiences is more valuable than money spent on stuff.
- If you haven’t worn it in over a year, get rid of it.
- If it doesn’t fit you in the dressing room, it’s not going to fit you any better at home (no matter how much you’re planning to lose weight).
- If it’s marked down and fits like it was tailored for you, buy two!
- A great bra can shave off ten pounds and ten years.
- A free haircut with a beauty school student is rarely worth the price you’ll pay.
- Bread before booze.
- A good BJ can make up for a host of sins.
- If a man calls his ex a “psycho,” that’s a red flag.
- If you’re meeting after 10 p.m., it’s not a date.
- Bad childhoods are not a life sentence.
- If you have a chance to travel, go! See as much of the world as you possibly can.
- If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
- The only thing that isn’t survivable is death.
- If you think s/he’s cheating, s/he probably is.
- Spend at least four seasons with someone before you start talking marriage.
- Pack one-third less than you think you’ll wear.
- Two gin and tonics are nice, but three is downright evil.
- If you spend your life chasing that first high, you’re going to get burnt out really fast.
- Before you send a controversial email, save it in your draft folder for at least 24 hours first.
