I didn't write this and I don't know who did, but it's worth passing on:

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 without ruining the friendship

Every Woman Should Know -
when to try harder, and when to 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 -
what she would and would not do for love or money

Every Woman Should Know -
that her childhood may not have been perfect, but, it's over

Every Woman Should Know -
how to live alone...even if she doesn't like it

Every Woman Should Know -
whom she can trust, whom she can't, and that she shouldn't take it personally

Every Woman Should Know -
what she can and cannot accomplish in a day, or a month, or a year

Every Woman Should Know -
where to go...be it her best friend's table or a charming cottage at the beach...when her soul needs soothing.
