Don't wait for the fear to subside
This is another excerpt from Seth Godin:

Not to mention you automatically feel glamorous just being out and about there.
Last night I was at The Southern, Big Star (for the third time), and Blue Line Lounge.
All were terrific. The company was even better.
Highlights:

I knew I loved you before I met you

Shut the fuck up, no you didn’t. And if you ever quote Savage Garden again I’m filing for divorce.
Brilliant Tumblr entitled “To My Husband”. This shit is funny.
“Damn, I hate being a foregone conclusion.”

If your 4th of July playlist didn’t start with the national anthem, shame on you.
Yesterday was my favorite July 4th to date.

Nothing feels quite as amazing as waking up the day AFTER you’ve been hungover.
