Catching the California Wave

At least once in our lives, we must challenge tired beliefs about ourselves and test our constraints.

At least once in our lives, we must quit our jobs with no notice.

At least once in our life, we should get unapologetically drunk on a Monday afternoon.

At least once in our lives, we must wear clothing inappropriate for our age and size and not feel a shred of guilt for eating the entire pizza or pint of Ben and Jerry’s.

At least once in our lives, we must have a one-night stand while on an exotic beach vacation.

At least once in our lives, we must fall head over heels in love, say all the wrong things, and still have no regrets.

At least once in our lives, we must sell all our possessions and live a life of simplicity, knowing what it’s like not to live constrained by bills, full-time jobs, and crippling obligations.

At least once in our lives, we must tell someone: a boss, a lover, or even an establishment, to go fuck itself for the sake of our own sanity and integrity.

At least once in our lives, we must know how to walk out of a toxic job or relationship without warning, with spectacular drama.

At least once in our lives, we need to love ourselves more than we have ever loved anyone else on this earth. 

At least once in our lives, we must awaken the inner dragon that sleeps inside us all.
