So, I Have This Friend...
Her name is Julia. Julia is gorgeous; you know, she’s that type of gorgeous that is so astoundingly classical and timeless that you wonder just how many ugly people there are that had any chance of beauty stolen from them by God and given to this girl. Yet, she often forgets this. Yes, I know. I don’t understand how it’s possible either. She also seems to forget that she’s so lovely that Armani models would fight each other to the death just to get a smile from her.
I digress.
So, this wonderful friend of mine also often forgets that she deserves royal treatment. If diamonds and Louboutin shoes aren’t being dropped into this girl’s lap, we’ve got an issue.
So, I have this friend who seems to be having a bad day, and I hope she realizes just how lovely she is and that she has a friend who’s just a phone call away and loves her dearly.

“The noted American scholar Robert M. Hutchins said, decades ago: “The object of the educational system, taken as a whole, is not to produce hands for industry or to teach the young how to make a living. It is to produce responsible citizens.” He warned that “the death of a democracy is not likely to be an assassination from ambush. It will be a slow extinction from apathy, indifference, and undernourishment.” I fear he was right.”
