On fun-sized advice

Beyonce is gold.

Wealth is important. Money is just paper.

What do you think of Sheryl Sandberg and her ‘Lean In’ book?
I think it’s the literary equivalent of vanilla scented hand sanitizer, but hey, kudos to Sheryl for squeezing $24.95 out of everyone who owns a pant suit.

You only think you want to date yourself because you’re blind to the fact that you’re insufferable. (I promise, you wouldn’t put up with your own bullshit.) What you really want is to date someone who allows you to be yourself, despite the fact that you’re an asshole. Good luck.
