1. My first ipod.

2. DBT

3. Meditation

4. Moving out of my parents' house.

5. Learning about the structure of society, the ridiculousness of it, including ableism, sexism, racism, discrimination, privilege / oppression etc.

Bonus:

6. Body respect and intuitive eating.

7. I am happy single. I don't have to be a sad single waiting for "prince charming" to find and date me. Frankly, I don't think there's any such thing. If I meet someone, great. But there's so much amazingness to single life many women don't talk or know about bc they've been socialized to be sad about it. Did you ever stop and think "why do I want a relationship?" Like really? Because its not sunshine and roses. Just look at the abusive cases in the relationships forum. And aside from that, did you ever think it (the relationship obsession / goal / aspiration) might be a fantasy that got made up? And ingrained in us at such a young age? Why is that? Being single is da' bomb. I have friends, I'm part if my community...I don't need a relationship. I have me. I am moving towards my best life, even with speed bumps. Maybe someday. But I'm not like, sitting here waiting for it. Also I've revised my dating criteria drastically. Empowering.
