Hi,

Couple of quick things:

I bought a candle yesterday that smells like tropical baby angels.

December jumped onto my white duvet cover this morning with muddy paws for the 8 billionth time this month.  She’s now up for adoption, and my washing machine is tired.

My little sister got MARRIED last weekend.

I made a spinach and oat milk smoothie…and it was probably one of the worst tasting things I’ve put in my mouth.

Which brings me to this:

I sent Ivo this picture while he was at work like two weekends ago.  It sounded like a cute idea at the time, but a few minutes after sending I started to analyze it.

My eyebrows have gone completely rogue, my forehead is being divided in half by apparently what is the thickest vein there ever was, I’m wearing an over-sized t-shirt, my skin is the color of my duvet cover before the December mud prints, and my hair is only half dry.

Yiiikes. Is he even gonna think that’s cute? I started to think of all the ways I could do more to look better.  Ugh. I could put makeup on.  Ugh. I could dry and curl my hair. Ugh. I could put a nicer shirt on. Ugh. I could lay in a tanning bed for 18 hours. 

But you know what? It wouldn’t work if I had tried all that.

I am an over-sized t-shirt wearer. It’s what I prefer over anything else..ever. On a good day, my hair borders on barely presentable, and probably shouldn’t leave the house. My face is completely naked and makeup free 5-6 out of 7 days of the week. I get my eyebrows waxed like..maybe once every 6 months, and I’m really really…really really pale. The forehead vein I have no explanation for.  Some days it’s more prominent than others, it has a mind of it’s own. Idk.

It’s how I am. I’m just..me. Most of the time I’m cool with it. Most of the time I couldn’t care less about impressing people with my physical appearance.  But sometimes that Ugh feeling of needing to be different or needing to try harder to be a normal put-together human will creep in and I have to battle it back out of my mind.

I don’t know if everyone struggles with this same thing, maybe you do. But either way, just be you, it’s cooler like that I think.

Love,

The forehead vein
