New Book



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

Summer Time

Okay, this summer is off to a nice and slow start. But the most exciting and life changing thing was my Big Chop. I love these coils! But it has come time for me to make some goals up.
1.) Get a job: I'll know by tmrw whether I will be working at Abercrombie or Applebees.
2.) Save at the very least $150
3.) Read!
-Fountainhead, The Old Man and the Sea, the Half Empty Heart....
4.) Work on my optimism
5.) Learn some more about myself

That's the general make up of the summer.

oh yeahh its day 4 of the natural hair!!
