La gives herself advice we could all probably stand to follow:

"But I need to keep this in mind. I need to work on this. On being ruled by my strengths and not my weaknesses. On being comfortable admitting that my need for control is just as much an illusion as my thinking I’m in control is. Not making an enemy of my weaknesses, since they are just as much a part of who I am as all the great things. To learn to admire my own flaws as much as I admire the human fallacies of everyone else." --La, of Liquor, Loans, and Love, which vacillates between being some of the funniest shit and some of the most poignant shit I've read in a while.
