I am still going to work every day, still going to the gym, and still going to dance class. I do this to try to maintain a sense of normalcy in my life. My body feels worked out! Maybe I will have abs by the end of this ordeal. Herbelicious keeps bitching at me that if I do get abs (from being love sick and not eating) that he will never speak to me again! NAILS!
As much as I will miss this amazing boy after he leaves on Saturday, I have learned so much from him and this experience: little life lessons. For that I am eternally grateful to have met him. I know that I am extremely lucky. I Always have been lucky, and feel that I always will be lucky.
I know that this blog is supposed to be about me being outNabout in New York. I just haven’t really been in an outNabout type of mood lately. Instead, I want to share some of the life lessons that I have learned from this amazing person. I think we can all use them to make ourselves better people. Some of them make me laugh and some of them make me cry. Take them as you wish. Use them.
1. Make everyone you meet feel as if they are the only one in the world that matters. Make it seem like the whole world has gone away when they are with you. Even when you are with a group of people. Make everyone in the group feel this way.
2. When asked to do something, always say “why not?”. When you say why not, you are not saying no, but rather opening up yourself to try new experiences.
3. Always speak the truth.
4. Do not be afraid to explore—ALONE. Don’t limit yourself from experiencing things and visiting places simply because you have no one to go there with. Besides, you just might make a new friend-- maybe even meet the nicest person you have met in the last 20 years of your life!
5. Make sure to always save your quarters (so that you can do your laundry).
6. Be like “Moving Rubber”—Strong enough to hold things, but flexible enough to be open minded to new things.
7. If you are not going to cook, or can’t cook, then make sure you really enjoy eating out! Eat good food. Take pictures!
8. Know your priorities and obligations. Make appointments. Make sure you keep them. Even if it seems like your obligations might hurt someone, just tell them. They will understand, and respect you more in the end.
9. Always share your million-dollar smile! It will get people to smile their million dollar smiles back.
10. Listen to the music of Jason Mraz. His music is deep but very uplifting. Even his sad songs sound happy.
11. Don’t scare your friends while they are in the shower. Think about it, they are naked--they feel most vulnerable.
12. If you wake up late and find that you are still on time for work, know that you can now sleep in every day and still be on time!
13. Don’t be afraid to drink wine out of a plastic kiddie cup.
14. Drink Matcha Green tea. It will give you energy!
15. Don't be afraid to tell someone that you have been thinking about them. It will make their day.
16. Hickey's on your neck are not necessarily trashy... they show the rest of the world that someone loves you.
17. Don’t be afraid to fall in love, let yourself go, and emotionally connect with someone, even if you know it will only be for a short time. The highest vibration in the universe is love; don’t deny it. Just enjoy yourself even if it’s only for a moment.

18. Laugh A lot. At everything!
Goodbye doesn't mean anything. It's the time that we spent together that matters most, NOT how we left it.
I'm going to miss you. And when you feel alone, just remember that someone in the world loves you--ME!
For Real! Seriously!
For Real! Seriously!
