I’m writing a thing I titled 100 Relatable Lessons, which is basically just some words of advice and short phrases for anyone who needs to hear some reassurance, encouragement, or just a giggle. If you’re here you must love words, so why not?! They’re my mantra, which I recycle quite a bit, and they’re both, my “note to self” and advice to others. I save them like a good journaler (nerd alert) and thought I’d share a few.
Hope you like these.
