Oh God, Molly, this is awesome! I've been feeling a need to incorporate a lot of this JUST DO IT attitude in my own life with my writing and making friends and being generally awesome. And you know, it's such a great feeling to JUST *DO IT*, already, you know? I want to write every day? I'm just effing DOING IT. It's awesome.

Oh, God, this is the best EVER. I got a little choked up.

Yes! Being in a relationship is awesome, but it doesn't change the issues I had before being in one, and it's been a struggle to learn how to communicate openly, to find the words to calmly explain when something's bothering me or to be open about my own insecurities in school and work and finances. My man is awesome support, and I'm so glad to have him there for me, but he's not the final solution.

I totally feel you! Money stresses me out almost every time I think about it or pay bills or check my bank account. I made some poor credit card decisions while I was an undergrad, and I'm paying for that now, and when I got close to paying that debt off, Life happened, and the debt went right back up. Plus I've got school loans to pay now too, and it's a little overwhelming, especially because my financial future isn't looking any better, at least for the next year and a half while I work on my Masters.

It's a struggle to be open about my finances because I'm kind of just embarrassed about them; why can't I just have all my shit together already, you know?

I'm so excited for you! I'm really looking forward to how things go for you and how you handle what comes next. I'm about to be in the same position, and it is SO SCARY. But I am really looking forward to what comes next!

She's too cute! Thanks for this, sometimes I really do need the reminder that things are OKAY.

I'm so excited to read about your blossoming relationship!

My Feller reads most of what I put out on the internet. I love sharing that with him and knowing that's he's cool with it, and I find it helps keep me accountable about not putting out passive-aggressive nastiness out there. It also opens me up to extra vulnerability with him because, especially when we first started dating, I'll blog more openly about emotional stuff than I'm willing/able to verbalize with him.

Oh, God, I totally feel you on the "having a job in this recession" thing. I'm FINALLY in a place where I feel like I can let go of that safety net and start doing something else that I enjoy more.

I use "heart of hearts" with some frequency, actually. So you know, that's a legit phrase.

I love ALL of these! Someday, when I have extra monies, I'm totally picking up a couple.
