My friends dole out advice in bursts of random clarity and unapologetic honesty.

Some of their offhand comments have struck me as profound and meaningful. So I’ve pulled together a list of such quotes for your amusement. Enjoy ☺

  1. Eat a Snickers, lie down. Tell me if you’re still stressed about it.
  2. Just buy the damn dress/shoes/coat/books!
  3. Stand up, roll your shoulders back and take a deep breath. You got this!
  4. Stop crying over boys who can’t read basic Financial Statements (borrowed from @TheBig4Accountant)
  5. Remember where you came from, but don’t be insecure because of it.
  6. If it costs you your health, it’s not worth it.
  7. You can’t let one nasty experience skew your world view. You need more samples.
  8. Don’t skip breakfast!
  9. Taking the next step is far more important than drawing the whole map.
  10. Don’t apologize for your intensity.
  11. Love, respect and obedience are 3 separate ideas. You can love someone and still choose not to do what they expect of you.
  12. Trust your instincts.
  13. It’s okay to be #NoFilter.
  14. Nobody’s opinion matters more than your own.
  15. Whenever someone tells you something like, “Only men / the privileged/ someone older" can do something, it just means they haven’t seen someone like you do it. You don’t have to be limited by their narrow world view.
