I'll Have What She's Having

by Chelsea Handler

If you are ever given the opportunity to spend an inordinate amount of time alone, take it. The more scared you are of being alone, the more necessary it is to do. Run toward yourself with open arms. That is where your truth is waiting.

The people who don’t get you are not your problem. Sitting around and thinking of all the people who don’t love you or don’t want to hang out with you diminishes your own light. Focus on where the light and love come from and park yourself in front of that. There are many moments in life when your own light is all you need.

“No, it only sounds like you are stuck in your anger. You allowing your anger to drive you is toxic. She is the reason you have five beautiful children who love and adore you.

You will have taken the highest road possible, and even more love and compassion will be headed your way, maybe even coming from your mother. Forgiveness is the key to joyful living.”
