the secret

Me as Mia Wallace, 2004*

*

I wrote out this long blog post.

And deleted it.

I want to say something important, and I think shorter will be sweeter.

The secret to writing a book,

having a great Halloween costume,

or just flat out reaching your dreams is all the same thing:

Don't be afraid to make a complete fool out of yourself.

That's all.

Now go dress up and do something fabulous.

Just like The Rock.

*also known as "The day I realized I wasn't meant to work in a cube",

because everyone kept saying that they liked my haircut, but I had a booger.
