Every Woman

I ran by this quote on one of my many quests for the perfect quote for what I'm dealing with and I thought I should share.

"- Every woman should have enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own even if she never wants to or needs to.

-Every woman should have something perfect to wear if the employer or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour.

-Every woman should have a youth she's content to leave behind.

-Every woman should have a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old age.

-Every woman should have a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra.

-Every woman should have one friend who makes her laugh, and one who lets her cry.

-Every woman should have one good piece of furniture in her house not previously owned by any one else in her family.

-Every woman should have eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal that will make her guests feel honored.

-Every woman should have a feeling of control over her destiny.

-Every woman should know how to fall in love without losing herself.

-Every woman should know how to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend, all without ruining the friendships.

-Every woman should know when to try harder and when to just walk away.

-Every woman should know that she can't change the length of her calves, the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents.

-Every woman should know how to live alone, even if she doesn't like it.

-Every woman should know where to go, be it her best friend's kitchen table or a charming inn in the woods, when her soul needs soothing.

-Every woman should know what she can and can't accomplish in a day, a month, or a year."
