After a long period of being frustrated that you aren’t quite in step with the trends or news of the day, now you’re finally entering a phase in which you’re the very picture of hipness. All of your interests, fashion choices, musical tastes, and overall style have everyone buzzing with admiration and just a wee bit of jealousy. But don’t be pompous about it. Show those folks that it’s possible to be with it and charming at the same time!

So you’re not partnered with two kids and a mate who thinks you’re an angel. Who cares? Just because real life hasn’t caught up with your romantic fantasies, that doesn’t mean you need to freak out. Ignore the usual frustrations today and just relax.

You may not be able to get everything you want right now, but you can still research and make plans. Talk to your partner about what you’d like to do together, then start getting the details in order.

With less focus on chasing the dollar, you have more time for other pursuits. It’s amazing how expansive your day can be if you re-focus on things like friends and close associations.
