- Aging. Each birthday is a blessing, and the reality is, though the years continue to tick upward, all you need to do is look in the mirror (or the women in your family) to remember that you’ve still got it. Celebrate!
- Uncommunicative potential baes. You deserve way more than some dude who purposely waits 12 hours to respond to your texts. Next!
