The Advice: The Truth About Forgiveness

“There are certain people who are meant to remain in your past. I made a mistake trying to repurpose you.” – Hannah,Girls

I used to think I was good at letting things go. I had always thought that I was a forgiving person, and that people took advantage of that. I had a wonderful revelation today, and I attribute this to having a rather insightful conversation with my best friend about the past year or so about our friendship. Over the course of the conversation, I realized that although our friendship had changed, she was still the same person. She had forgiven me for the way I had treated her because our friendship was evolving into something new and foreign, and yet I had not forgiven her for hurting my feelings. It dawned on me, that I kept saying out loud for months that I was over it, but internally I was holding on to hurt feelings. It wasn’t helping me, it was actually stunting my growth. I was so quick to stay angry, instead of embracing that change was happening, the friendship was changing, and that it didn’t necessarily mean the end. In fact, it may mean a new level of understanding between us.

After 5: Dinner Date

As the founder and creative genius behind “Product of the 90s” and “Themicole,” our neirborhood friend Tannis, knows a thing or two about editorials, pop culture, music, and personal style.

 This twenty three year old, freelance writer from Montclair, NJ is able to demonstrate her personal style through her daily escapades:

I enjoy the luxury of not being able to define my style. It changes as I do. A big part of my style depends on the environment that I am in. I always manage to add my own flair to traditional looks so that if a friend sees me they’re like, “Oh, that’s so Tannis.” – Tannis

For today’s post, Tannis shows the ladies how to dress appropriately for a dinner date after work.

The Advice: Girls F*ck Up, Too.

It’s August in case you guys didn’t know. That’s fuckin’ crazy how fast time is going…how fast life is going. I was thinking about the last two summers.. and in both instances, there has been significant life events that have changed my way of thinking drastically. I’m about to go ham right now, because I don’t give a damn about exposing myself to you people. You still read this, so maybe something I say resonates in some way to you.
