Compliments

People are still complimenting my hair and how nice it looks since I freed its natural curls from the confines of a dreaded ponytail holder.

They have to stop soon or I'll say something really terrible about it just to get them to shut it, even if it isn't true.

I have a hard time taking a compliment. I think I have this inferiority complex where I feel like I don't deserve them. Then again, I notice a lot of girls do this.

"That is an AWESOME DRESS!"

"This old thing? It's no big deal...it's made out of bits of blankets that homeless people abandonned on the street...nothing special."

Why must we do this? Why can't we accept that we look good, and that other people think so too?

So when do we get to see photos? Seems cruel to just taunt us with a text description...

I'll post something tomorrow. Today I returned to the old habit and wore a ponytail, mostly because it snowed overnight and I had to leave the house early to get to work on time, so no time for primping.
