Ayn Rand, Libertarian powerhouse she was, said,
"Learn to value yourself, which means: fight for your happiness."
This week, three of my very closest friends each did just that. One shipped off to study Law in Australia, another followed her heart to Toronto, and the third stood up for herself when it was really, really hard to do so.
Change is hard, and there have been lots of tears, stress and anxiety with all three of these huge life events. But I'm proud of my girlies for being strong enough to fight for their happiness, and I know they will all come out the other side more joyful than ever.
Here's hoping their bravery is contagious.
