an ode to a.h.

"your heart just breaks, that's all. but you can't judge, or point fingers. you just have to lucky enough to find somebody who appreciates you."

-audrey hepburn.


today i purchased the book "How to be Lovely: the Audrey Hepburn Way of Life". it is one of the greatest audrey hepburn books written! it's all about how to live a great life, with advice and quotes from audrey herself, and others that love audrey (just as much as i do!). i told my family that it's a bible, just in a different form... there are so many stories and lessons... so in some ways it takes the shape of a bible. it is strange too, because this form of perfection is just what i have been looking for. this year has been a year for some changes, and i have been looking for ways to be a better person in ways of being sweeter, smarter, kinder, and thoughtful.

in the book, audrey teaches the difference between being lonely and being alone ... much of which i have experienced both of in the past four months.
so as i move into the new year, i plan on being more open, and sociable. i plan on being picky, but putting myself out there still to find new friendships.
i am good at being alone, and making use of my 'me' time, however, i sometimes find it hard to decipher the alone and lonely part in the mix.
so i know that new year's resolutions usually don't work... but i have three main ones:
1. make new friends (be open, but be picky)
2. get in fabulous shape for my 20th (get rid of this holiday grubbiness)
3. study hard (be smart, and learn... therefore i will get good grades)

GO, ME!
