Did you guys have a good weekend? Because I did, but I am so tired. I got a new apartment in a new town with my boyfriend, and I learned that I own approximately seven thousand more items than I thought I did, but hardly anything that I actually need. Friday night was spent huddled and shivering because we refused to turn on the way-too-expensive heat, and Saturday night was spent shopping for things like plates and cleaning supplies and dish towels and oh my God these rugs cost HOW MUCH? And, in the middle of all that, I chopped all my hair off. So yeah, it’s been a pretty eventful weekend.
I’m sure many of you had a lot going on this weekend as well, so let’s just take a moment for Queen Latifah to make us feel beautiful, as only Queen Latifah can:
“People say, ‘You have such beautiful skin!’ But guess what? I get pimples, too. I mean, (expletive), I’m a woman, I have hormones. Who knows what is going on? I’ve just got to roll with it. … The reality is, I like imperfection. You take away from the world when you’re not yourself. Whatever is unique and special about you was designed by God. And when you try to be someone else, we don’t get you.”
Breathe in … aaaaaand … release. Thanks, Queen! You always know just what to say!
