Being a girl who thrives on positive and creative energy, sometimes the negativity around me can be really draining! And that’s what life has been like the past month or so, making it difficult to keep the eye on the prize. Not that I need a prize…because honestly, a positive outlook is good enough for me. And where yoga, long autumn walks, Cabernet, candy corn, Spotify and Netflix have come to the rescue – so did one of my all time favorite films, Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion. Romy and Michele are basically the ultimate champions of thinking positive. If you’ve not yet seen this film, I honestly don’t know what you’ve been doing with your life. To me it’s even more relevant, real, and witty than Mean Girls, (Chew on that!) and in serious need of a sequel.
These girls have everything. From diet and exercise tips, to fashion, life goals and seriously good (bad) dance moves. But what makes Romy and Michele so irresistible is their ‘We don’t give a flying f*ck what you think’ attitude. There’s real courage in being an original. Blending into the crowd is oh so easy. Standing up and doing your own thing, even if it makes everyone around you think you’re insane? Not so easily done.
And so today, I thought it would be nice to just revel in the greatness of Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion through GIFs. Because, why the heck not? I may not have invented post-its – but I do have a phone and the ability to feel good about myself, even in the face of adversity. Let’s go!
