Pearls of Wisdom for My Daughters

[NOTE: This post has been edited. If you want to read the original version, get in your time machine and go back to yesterday.]

I don't have daughters yet (I'm unmarried, if I haven't made that clear), but when I do, here's what I'm going to tell them:

1. Never blog crabby (even though it sometimes does yield results).
2. Not getting what you want hurts, but when the dust settles and the rubble is cleared away, you learn to recognize what you actually do want, what you don't want, and most importantly, who you are.

To all of my faithful readers, I promise this will be the last of my insightful, depressing, soul-bearing posts for at least a few months.
