risk taking.

 Moxy Mag hits a homerun with this article on fictional female risk takers.

While I had no idea who Holly Golightly was before this article, I'm loving the blurb they wrote for her.

Be your own proactive agent of change. Dislike the name you were given at birth? Strike an ‘x’ through it and assume a more whimsically appropriate moniker that better suits your personality. Feeling trapped by the small town circumstances you grew up in? Pack your bags, move to the big city, and surround yourself with the company you wish to keep. Go to great and controversial lengths to attain your goals. Be a spectacle and embrace it. Be the life of the party, always, and when you wake up with the inevitable hangover the next morning, stay glamorous. Always. And if the risks you take don’t work out as planned, pick up and move on to the next step. Never lose the ability to reinvent yourself.

I think it's time for my own reinvention.
