yesterday my friend told me that i sometimes sound like i'm going thru the five stages of grief when i talk about things that bother me … a little painful but like damn maybe. now the goal is to Be better
When i feel awkward or embarrassed at a social function i try to reframe and just think “Aw wow I’m just being a cute and endearing human“ bc ofc I’m gonna make mistakes and make a fool of myself @ times — like who isn’t honestly
I was wearing my painting overalls and stopped to talk to the mailman. He goes “We are both wearing our Busytown outfits.” I go “Say what?” And he goes “An outfit that matches our jobs!” He was so right.
Christmas acts like it has this ownership over those colors, but wrong: Tomatoes! Strawberries! Roses! Olives! The list goes on. No more assuming I’m dressing for the holiday: I’m matching my fav vegetation.
“They used a razor on your layers? That’s why it looks so stringy” etc. I know they are saying it to try to make you feel comforted that they’ll fix it… but come on! This is haircut has been on my head for the last six months, be nice!
