Of all of the days that I have experienced in my life, yesterday probably would not rank among the best.
To begin, I awoke in the morning with a stupid migraine. It hurt to keep my eyes open. So I called off of work, and slept instead. It was great. By the afternoon, I felt much better.
Anyway, I also came to some realizations. After some stressful dealings with my credit union, I went into a bout of catastrophic thinking. I'm poor, I'll never get a better job, I'll be paying debts off for my whole life, I won't be able to to go to Spain thanks to my debt, etc. Then I decided that none of the "goals" that I had established for my "transitional time" at home have been met. So all of that lead to feeling like a failure. haha. I told you, it was catastrophic thinking.
Anyway, I talked it out with my mom, and she told me to basically chill, and that things will be ok. And then I felt a little better.
...Until I started thinking about my haircut again. haha. She was going to get her hair done by our friend, so I asked if she could try to fix mine a little as well. I basically felt horrible when I got there. haha. I mean, I knew it wasn't a great haircut, but she let me know just how bad she thought it was. haha. "I don't like to criticize other peoples' work, but this is really bad." haha. That being said, she told me that she wouldn't be able to do much, just tweak it a little. So now I had these ideas in my head about how horrible it was, and no way to make it better. Ugh. She trimmed it up a little, and by the time she was done, I wanted to cry. haha. It's sooo short now. Even shorter than before. And my bangs are annoying and short. Ugggggh. I hate haircuts.
So anyway, yesterday wasn't so good.
But, right before bed, I was watching 16 & Pregnant, and I realized that no matter how helpless I felt about my finances and job prospects, or about my ability to make my hair grow at superhuman speeds, things could be worse. Thank God I'm not 16 or Pregnant. ...Or for that matter, thank God I'm not 22 and pregnant either.
