‘The Carissa Rules’
Gidget told me today that she, Karla and Lora came up with the "Carissa Rules" they’ve observed in the times that we’ve hung out. I never thought about it before. But these came to mind (Theirs: 1-2, Mine: 1-5):
Never wait for anyone any place where you can’t do anything (Go ahead and do something.)
Never ask why they’re leaving and ask them to stay. (Let them make their own decision and respect it.)
Never stay in a place that is not working for you. (Leave in the middle of a movie, a book, or a relationship, a party, or a job as soon as you feel like it. Your time is too precious.)
Never say anything negative about another person.(Unless you have written evidence of the things they’ve said that annoyed you, or you have witnesses to their comments and quips)
Never wear anything you don’t feel good in. (Get rid of clothes and stuff that you didn’t pick out yourself if they don’t work for you. And never buy anything for any other reason than because you like it!)
