No Matter What Happens In Life, Be Good To People

We came for the fall foliage and Bartaco, stayed for the $11 pants I found at Anthropologie (at Westport, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ixZP1FaWiD-OZ2Sj_c_WxXTrJYbdENERP53U0/?igshid=oe2vx3xnq9gs

From mixing beats and harmonizing with herself onstage, calling out a dude screaming condescending remarks and advocating for @plannedparenthood , and literally performing even better live than on the record (which I didn’t think was possible), this witchy feminist rockstar radiated pure joy through the rafters of Radio City. WHAT. A. TREAT. You are correct @maggierogers this will in fact stay inside my mind, for all of time 💛 (at Radio City Music Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3JG9DpFXV1/?igshid=1jph05bdve5kk

Saved myself at least €1.50 by taking these photos instead of buying postcards, so I will inevitably be buying more gelato tomorrow #HighFinance #MuranoBuranoTorcelloOhMy (at Burano, Murano, Torcello, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0hDlCEl8cgl-6VUAS4uLsga2tqqE7QT7ogsyE0/?igshid=1ckqivxb27t7

Me: I want gelato and I want wine Dad: Do those 2 things go together? Me: Wine goes with everything as long as you believe it (at Venezia, Italia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0eUTvFl3DgK4Gc9u22ITYNYAlqTU_g7JGu2sQ0/?igshid=158wev96bgvqs

*Sorry Sara, here comes the mush* To my Cam Jansen (or Carlie Jebsen), the parachute/hot air balloon to my lil rocket ship, the Ann Perkins to my Leslie Knope, the Chief to my Cap, my work wife, and my best friend. The small woman with the tattoos that are almost as large as her heart. Today you return to the lesser of the coasts (jk) to start your next chapter, and I couldn’t be more proud, more sad, but also more excited to see where life takes you. Your hard work, thoughtfulness, humor, brilliance, and determination will take you to the highest of heights in this world, and I can’t wait to watch your bright light shine as you continue to shoot for the stars. Here are just a few of my favorite memories of the weird places we’ve been to and the immeasurable number of laughs we’ve shared so far; can’t wait to continue to make many more of them. Please enjoy these photos, because in the meantime, I’ll be digging the world’s deepest scream hole from my cubicle to California. I love you immensely, and I can’t wait to continue to force you to be my friend forever 💞👯‍♀️👭 #WestGalBestPal (at Paper Source) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Vnr4gFEHma0vm_92qfY5E2Kn97oNQWcxN-IM0/?igshid=g904wkw5ru77

Got to celebrate 24 with some of my best pals who have blessed my life from kindergarten through my current adult(ish) life. And now I know how T Swift must’ve felt seeing all the past versions of herself in the Look What You Made Me Do music video...both emo and grateful 💞 (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0M9-OZldKOwgvp-0rlQhgpyMwoXWZwtSeHt840/?igshid=1gl53djgnj1r2

My favorite person got married to her (other) best friend yesterday and I couldn’t be happier for these two brick walls. I love you, Kaitlyn and Chris (and Sadie)! I may not fit into any of my clothes anymore after the amount of food I consumed last night, but you throw one hell of a party! Thanks for letting me be part of your special day!👰🏼💞🤵🏻 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz68_-2FmSWoH0Ak-qOjy9WP9W4gBb-tS_tG7g0/?igshid=1v69qlgiua2hu

When the thought of how far you still have to go becomes daunting, surround yourself with the people who remind you of how far you’ve already come. When you’re sad or stuck or feel alone, hang on tight to the people who say “If you want me to fix it, let’s fix it. If you want to just sit with it, let’s sit with it. But whatever you need, no matter how far I am, I’m here with you”. Look for the helpers, and never let them go 💚 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu1uTrdFxRcxDQNrvnxM7TD8VAq6ImqvjSTgC00/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cxl8iyr9v8sz

The only thing non-festive about this weekend was the bar’s oddly emotional playlist of Lauren Daigle followed by Sara Bareilles followed by The Fray...also known as Kathleen’s Tuesday Spotify playlist 💚🤶🏻🎄🎅🏻❤️ (at Rolf's German Restaurant) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrLzgrOh-l-MbeJ0Y75a-_KggqeyC2N8sXTKvk0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1254g67nahmiw

The only thing that wasn’t beautiful about this performance last night was my ugly crying during “It’s Quiet Uptown”. Absolutely unforgettable @hamiltonmusical 💛 (at Richard Rodgers Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqvzVxRBqUobuGfLA5QGtImemdI_OTOUoCt0N00/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jer9e6kw2sue

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🎄 (at Biltmore Estate) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqUtcHBBcLjghtYk5Uee_KeaVBwfjP26ohTJIU0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17nxs6ompgj4x
