This time last year I made the resolution, “to achieve Carrie Fisher’s level of give a fucks about what people think of me without all the binging & drugs she’s no doubt gone through.”
To battle my inner demons, I wore my Leia braids while I stomped around NYC alone, when I went to more parties I’ve ever attended in a year, when I was feeling down about my looks, while I ran around Korea & any time I needed to channel the insanely confident womanhood of Carrie Fisher.
I wasn’t surprised when a coworker pinged the group about her passing, but just wanted to share the impact her confidence despite mental illness & foul mouthed give a shit attitude has meant to me in 2016.
