On your way to the party, don't forget your purse, your extra shoes, your smile, your heart.
On your way to the party, don't mind the onlookers, the ones who laugh, who jeer, who snicker, who call at you. Keep going.
On your way to the party, don't forget to enjoy yourself. Laugh like the world is ending. Love like the sun won't come up tomorrow. There is no tomorrow. Just today. Just now. At the party.
Enjoy it.
It's the only one there is, and will ever be.
