As I sit her typing this I’m conflicted with the idea of ‘fake it ’til you make it.’ Most of us have heard this saying before and maybe even tried it. I know I have!
I remember the first time this concept really resonated with me…
It was spring and I had just broken up with my boyfriend and I was devastated. It was one of those tear your heart out kind of break ups where you listen to sad music over and over and over again and all you want to do is sit on the couch and watch Sex and The City and eat cookies and cry.
Ok, I probably wanted to throw the half eaten cookies at Charlotte for being so hopeful about finding the love of her life…
then my friend suggested I fake being happy until I was again. Could I possibly fake it ’til I make it again?
