I've decided to put down The Fountainhead for something that could actually help me help myself this summer. It's called The Half Empty Heart: A Supportive Guide to Breaking Free from Chronic Discontent by Dr. Alan Downs. Am I saying that I am chronically discontent? Perhaps. I don't want to be self-diagnosing myself but just about everything that he was talking about pertained to myself; reading this must be a good idea.
I've even already learned one new thing about myself. I have a high emotional threshold. This means that it takes a lot more/more stressful situations to me react. I've always wondered about this. Things that would make my sister or my parents fly off the handle, I would stare at with a blank face. Even while driving, if someone cuts in front of me, I'm even slow to get angry, i just pump the breaks and let them cut. I haven't read far enough into the book to figure out why this happens, but what Downs described was so incredibly accurate.
I'm excited to finish, I don't finish a lot of things.
Anywhoo, it is day 7 of my natural hair... one week anniversary of the Big Chop
