There are certain scenarios that only seem possible in the plot of a mainstream Hollywood comedy; among them being the visual of an old woman capturing robbers by using the weight of her heavy purse. But in the instance of a robbery in England, life imitated art when an old woman did just that. Watch the granny pummel the bad guys with gusto and, in effect, raise the question, “Is 60 the new 30?!” 
Grandma Foils A Robbery By Hitting Thieves With Her Purse

Trace the scars life has left you. It will remind you that at one point, you fought for something. You believed.
“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
