Around the time I was a senior in high school, I started to shed some of my anti-cool cool ways. I let some of my more mainstream friends highlight my hair for me instead of letting the summer sun do it naturally. I started buying jeans and khakis at the gap rather than wool old man pants from Goodwill. I would wear a collared shirt under a sweater instead of a long sleeved shirt under a t-shirt with a local ska-punk band screen-printed on it. I put on the occasional mascara and socks that matched and didn't have weird stuff all over them. I liked pop and rap music. I enjoyed social outings that involved beer or driving around aimlessly with groups of people I only kind of knew but liked well enough.
I received this hand crafted jewelry message from a friend who wasn't quite there yet. I think it was supposed to be funny, but looking back on it, maybe she was just jealous I wanted to go out and do stuff instead of do stuff on the internet. Wait... Crap! The circle of life!
