Self-Reflection on Personal Gender Roles
There have been many reasons why I have been growing my hair out. It had initially started as a breakup thing because I wanted to distance myself from the person who I was throughout the relationship. I completely admit to that, and I’m not ashamed of it.

I eventually forgot about that and...
Thoughts
- I’m so exhausted, but I’m going to draw tonight, and also stay up to watch It’s Always Sunny at ten.

I turn 21 at Midnight. Tonight I plan on buying a bottle of luxury vodka and chilling out with my brother. I’m really going to celebrate tomorrow by going out with a big group of friends, but I still really want to go to the liquor store.
Things that happened after 5 p.m. today

- My mom’s cooking
- Helping out at the vet clinic when I get the time
- Having a relaxing and quiet weekend, rather than the typical crazy kind.

A Little Triumph
I’m pretty quiet in my classes and I generally keep to myself. From my actions, or lack there of, I have come to the conclusion that my classmates have accepted me as the dumb, shy girl.
