43. When it’s too rainy or icy outside, I go to the mall for my daily walk.
44. I cut open tubes of toothpaste when they are ’empty’ to get more out of them. I have also caught myself reusing ziploc baggies. Not sure if this is classified as old or cheap but I learned both from my Grandma.
45. I crochet, like a mad woman and I use those old lady hair clips with the twist on the back of my head. But to spice it up I play some rap to get a good pace going.
About the author
“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
