Who am I version #553

I use to think I was somewhat comfortable with who I was. I thought I had accepted my faults and had grown to like the fact that I was flaky. But recently someone in my life frequently mentioned all the annoying things that I do. At first I laughed them off because those of you who know and love me understand that I am a pain in the ass.

But as the weeks went on I started to wonder if my quirks are more serious than I thought. Because this person found me so difficult to deal with it made me consider that my flaws are things that I need to work on. So now I find myself thinking about this person's list over and over. I keep asking myself "who the hell am I and what type of person do I want to be?"

One of the major complaints this person had was how long it takes me to get ready. Now I know my long term friends are laughing because "Ang" time is a well know fact. But does my need to try and hide my physical flaws make me intolerable?

So this week I made a decision to try and get ready each day in 30 minutes or less. In order to do this I have stopped wearing makeup and fixing my hair (yes Twinkie the clip is back.) At first I was nervous but now I just really don't care what I look like. Oh and yes I have also given up covering the gray.

Do I feel like a better person? Hell no, but at least I know I can do it and honestly it fits with my "I just don't care" attitude of late. Tia told me I looked like shit. That's what sisters are for :)

Just so you don't freak out the next time you see me, here is the awful truth.

If someone is constantly pointing out faults, they are not a true friend and don't respect you. Anyone that knows you, knows that it's a work in progress and they just pushe you to quicken the lip liner or finish the toes. They also tell ya, "you look great" when you look like you just rolled out of bed.
I love you girl.
