Pigtails
Today I wore my hair in pigtails. I forget how long my hair is now until I plait it and feel my pigtails banging against my shoulder blades.
Today I had lunch with my friend Alex. Alex and I have been friends for a loooong time. I believe I went to her 6th birthday party. For her 8th I distinctly remember going to Oxford for the day – we went to the botanical gardens, then had a really great tea at a cafe in… Headington? Today we went to the Zilli Cafe in Brewer Street. The food was good and we really talked. Then really really laughed… I felt quite dizzy with it after.
Today I got cross quite a lot. With technology, with bad service, with people, with nothing. I don’t like myself when I do that. Think of the energy I could save by not getting cross and what I could invest that energy in instead.
Tonight it was so cold that my eyes hurt. But then I felt snowflakes on my cheeks and didn’t seem to mind.
Right now I’m tired and a bit beaten up. But I’m hopeful… and the longing feels like a comfort rather than a disappointment.
