*knock knock knock* “hello! UPS! package delivery” Something Abbey and I haven’t gotten used to since moving to Hawaii is our packages being delivered straight to our door, rather than being left in the lobby of our building. This is awesome. Super convenient. Except for the fact that neither of us are even 50% presentable when they arrive - and lately, I haven’t been wearing my hoodie as often. Why? Cuz fall and winter don’t really exist here (I know.. boo hoo) 🏝️ For a while I’ve known that I enjoy wearing my hoodie because it’s soft, warm, and I feel like a badass Sith Lord when walking Tobi at night. But since being here I noticed there’s one other reason why I wear my hoodie... it’s more of a nagging feeling…. kinda like having a tiny rock in my sock that’s really really hard to get rid of. My hair. One of the things that nags at me constantly is trying to get comfortable with my hair when it’s not “presentable”. When the UPS guy shows up, I don’t even care about finding a bra or if I have toothpaste on my shirt - I’m running around looking for something to put on my head - my hoodie, a hat, a cat… one time we missed a package because I couldn’t find anything to relieve my self consciousness. "Sorry we missed you!" - UPS So lately, I’ve been working on just being ok with not having my hair slicked back into an epic pony tail, or covered by one of my favorite hats at all times. And honestly? it sucks trying... but today I answered the door with all of it’s glory revealed. And you know what? I’m sure he didn’t give a shit and most other people probably won’t either. So every now and then I walk Tobi without looking like a cozy Sith Lord to get used to the discomfort and start being ok with it. So what’s the rock in your sock? What’s something that nags at you that can really ruin your stride that nobody can see? What can you do to start gradually working on getting it out? ✌🏾TTYL!✌🏾 Simie P.S. I’ll just keep opening the door with my hair all crazy in the event this epic mailing service keeps happening. I also always go through phases where I wanna chop my hair off lol - I think i’m going through that right now. P.S.S.
