oh how things change

it's funny how growing up, moving out, and navigating your way through life as an adult changes your perspective on things. for example, i was in desperate need of purchasing real life essentials (paper towels, laundry detergent, toilet bowl cleaner, etc.); just a few months ago, "essentials" would have been a new dress to wear this weekend, a necklace and bracelets to match, and a giant coffee from starbucks on the way to work... sometimes i miss those days. however, i've discovered that some of the less exciting items have their perks! today, for example, i put on a new pair of socks that i purchased (my girlfriend, c, told me tj maxx is the best place for socks - she was absolutely right!). anyways, i was/am so excited about these socks. they are sans holes and actually match! oh how things change :) xoxo.
