No More Curls...

My hair is straight today, and I don't feel like myself.

I woke up and it wasn't curly...at all. Just straight, and it's because I let it dry in a bun, but still...it threw me off.

It's not just the straight hair...I've been off balance lately because of an unsaid disagreement with a friend. You know that feeling? When your chest hurts and you feel like you're in middle school again?

Well, I'm a little ashamed to say...she took the initiative and brought things up. It definitely wasn't pleasant...but we worked it out. Or, we're in the process of working it out. Things aren't perfect, but nothing is, right? We both got some things said that we'd probably been harboring for too long.

And so I learned some things. For one, it's good to be able to talk things out. I've always been of the persuasion that if you can just overlook things that bother you and not make a big deal out of them, then you'll be the bigger person. But, I realized that sometimes you can criticize without things blowing up...and perhaps both learn from what the other has to say.



So, no more secrets. Liz, thanks for being a great friend. Here's to lots more runs, bike rides, and (more importantly!) coffee shop talks together.

No curls for Curly Su? That simply can't be true! :)

Su, now that you've got everything out in the open you'll be surprised how quickly your relationship will heal. True friendship really is a bond that can't be broken.

P.S. I'll be posting more pics up soon, almost done :D
