Lena Dunham Instagram – Happy New Year! It wouldn’t be the new year if I didn’t offer you the meager scraps of knowledge that I continue to cyclically gain and then forget again. This is a beautiful time to remind yourself of who you are, where you’ve been and what you now know that you didn’t know last December when you were hooking up with a guy who had a coffee maker in his bathroom. Imma go first: -You continue to be capable of more than you ever imagined, but you only get there by admitting what you *are not* capable of. -To that effect, people usually don’t get frustrated by your limitations- they get frustrated when you pretend that you don’t have any. -Self care is great, unless you’re using it as an excuse to seal yourself off, say no to connection and fuck around on an app that lets you make sexy avatars and dress them in designer clothing you can’t find in your size IRL (slide 2, my Metaverse thirst trap… This is not a paid ad for @imvu, in fact I’ve paid *them* at least 20 bucks in digital designer clothing.) -Love is patient, love is kind, love is being completely intolerant in others of behavior you allow endless leeway for in yourself. And THAT, kids, is *not* iconic. -Every time life brings you to your knees, it’s a chance to clasp those hands and pray. -CYOGB: Choose Your Own God, Baby… -If what you really want is a little bit of cheese, don’t avoid the calories by eating a whole jar of olives. All you’ll feel is dissatisfied, with a brine-induced stomach ache. And there is for SURE a metaphor in there somewhere. -If you could of then you would have, so regret is a pesky loser of an emotion. But there’s a difference between regret and self-reflection, and self-reflection is a great drug of choice. I love you all more and more each year! To a new one full of health and happiness that isn’t so touch and go… ya girl, Lena ☆-._.-☆*-Happy new year-*☆-._.-☆
