Braces: Day 190
Set #7: A Different Kind of Blue
Top: blue / Bottom: teal
Earned a tiny spring in between the middle of my bottom row today, meant to create a gap there and then shift the centre to the left. Let’s hope this goes well!
Get rid of your boundaries and the universe is yours.

My Happiness Has to Come First
Came to some sort of revelation yesterday.
My happiness should be more important to me than anyone else’s happiness. If I don’t put myself first, my happiness will end up being contingent on other people. So if people mope, I’m supposed to mope around with them? No. I’d never think of dragging people down with me, so I don’t want people who’ll drag me down with me as well.
I know this sounds selfish, after all, people say that’s what friends are for right? To half the sorrow? Starting to think that I don’t believe that. If you happen to be feeling down, no worries, share your problems with me, but don’t drag me down with you. I’ll be right beside you to support you, but don’t expect me to join you down in the dumps. I’ll wait for you till you get back up there with me. Isn’t that more important? To bring someone up, rather than go down together with them.
I hope this isn’t going to be seen as a lack of empathy, but I think that this is purely a self-defence mechanism. I suppose this is also why my circle of friends is probably considered pretty small. On some level, I’ve chosen to cut off people who do nothing for me as a person, and make me feel so much negativity, not only about myself, but also about them. That’s not the person I want to be, because it also makes me feel shitty when I think this or that person is shitty. We’re all just trying to be better people, whether in terms of our self-development or toward other people. I don’t need someone whom I know will only bring me negativity in my life, or more negativity than positivity.
Cry and cry and cry and
Over the love of you

Set #6: I’m Feelin’ Blue
Blue/light blue alternate
I look like a boy here, somewhat.
The sister and I went to do our hairs today. Finally cut off all that frizz after so many years, but now, need to go straighten it out cause the hairstylist legit took half an hour to blow out all the remaining curls. Let’s hope my $50/month plan will still be on track after this!
London Fund
Today marks the start of my official London fund. I’m going to make it a point to put $50 in every week, which will hopefully get me to London by the end of the year. Here’s to making London 2013 a reality!
