Good to know.
Apparently, the only keys to successful dating in the 1930’s for ladies were don’t talk too much, wear a bra, and don’t pass out in the middle of your date because you’re drunk.

“But my 20s… man… my 20s have been the wildest roller coaster ride I could ever imagine. And let me tell you. Nobody tells you how to be 22, 25, 28.

– I’m loving this lately. Though many might think me young, naive, silly, what have you, it makes me think of crushes. Crushes have the ability to turn the ho hum events of a normal lackluster day into merry imaginative beautifully happy moments. Of course there are many things to get excited...
