Sophia Amoruso is a genius. And her story is incredible. She’s the founder and
CEO of NASTY GAL vintage clothes
company. The moment I picked up her book #GIRLBOSS,
I didn’t know what I was in for, and didn’t anticipate finishing it in 2 ½
days. I couldn’t put it down. #GIRLBOSS
is a how to/inspirational/part-memoir guide on how a young woman built her own
brand and business from the ground up, with lots of hard work, plenty of setbacks,
and much determination and became a boss.
As a young woman, I love what she shared, because it was refreshing to know
that there are other young women out in the world unapologetically kicking butt,
and fully going for what they want, as far as being a boss goes. In #GIRLBOSS she writes, “Here’s the thing
about being a #GIRLBOSS – it’s not easy. It takes a lot of hard work to get
there, and then once you arrive, it takes even more hard work to stay there.”
And she’s absolutely right. I’ve
recently found myself in a position where I’m flexing my own boss muscles trying
to juggle a full time career, and manage my writing. It’s not easy but it’s
worth the sacrifice. I love working and I love the grind that comes with
writing. I can work, grind, and hustle at the same time, and still manage to have
a life. It’s all about having a great strategy and prioritizing. If you’re a
young woman reading this, #GIRLBOSS is definitely a book you should read. You
won’t regret it.
Ghosting: the practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication. I’ve been ghosted by every guy I’ve met within the past two years. About six to be exact. · The first guy pursued me and then got shady whenever I asked him about what he did for a living and where he lived. When he started dodging and avoiding questions, wouldn’t initiate dates, and slowly stopped keeping in touch with me altogether, eventually, all communication ceased. · The second guy was someone I met through a family member. He was super cool, very smart, handsome, and funny, but didn’t want to be in a relationship and acted like he didn’t want to be seen with me publicly. When we had plans to meet for an outing, he didn’t show up, and then texted me about a week later with an apology. We chilled at my place a few times, had a few phone conversations, and exchanged occasional texts, but eventually he stopped responding to me
