As i was gettin my hair done tonight i was starting to think about why exactly i wanted to get weave sewn in. hair is a symbol of beauty and power and it is very important to women. last weekend i was very insecure the whole time because i didn't feel pretty. i had just gotten a relaxer and my hair is very fine. since i didn't have enough days between my relaxer and leaving for jersey, i couldn't wash my hair to add a little body to it, so it was extra flat and extra short because i'm tryin to grow it out after breaking it off last year. anyway i promised myself i would weave it up as soon as possible to look better, thus feel better. but now that i have the weave in, i have to admit that it does look better than it did, but i don't feel any differently on the inside. Lately, all i've been seeing and hearing is relationship this and relationship that from friends, family, and the media. i never thought i was insecure about not being in a relationship, but it is constantly on my mind. i was talking to an old friend the other night, and he reminded me of how much he liked me and wanted me to be his gf, but i didnt feel the same about him. needless to say, that never materialized. so it's not like i don't have offers, i'm just not that into them....yet, i'm still sitting here alone. i don't want to settle just to be with somebody.
i thought that if i got a weave and worked on my wardrobe and
clearing up my skin (imagine a 24 yr old still battling a 14 year old's acne) that i might have guys lining up at my door and then they would get to know the real me and see that i'm cool and down to earth. the only thing is, i don't feel like i'm being myself with the extra hair and having to put on make-up everyday. i love who i am, but the me that i see is wonderful, smart, funny, caring, single and alone.

since when is it cool to point out people's insecurities?! NEWSFLASH: everybody's insecure about something, so pointing out the fact that someone is insecure shows a lack of tact and empathy. i'm just saying...
