I wish for once to be honest

I feel like I tailor my thoughts in consideration of other people's feeling, at my own expense. I bite my own tongue so another person doesn't get so offended. Why can't I just muster up the courage to say what I am really thinking? I don't like you. I think you're trashy. You are the dumbest, most hideous thing to exist. You are the most beautiful creature I've ever seen. Adore me. You are the love of my life. I want to say these kinds of straightforward things without consequence. In reality I know I couldn't get away with saying these things -- I care too much about other people's feelings, and I just... can't bring myself to intentionally hurt anyone. :/ But I like this about myself, and other people. I love how people are caring and nice. It's just the annoying ones that infuriate me!

Well, I hope everyone has a lovely week!

Well here goes my next paycheck:

Anthropologie Babergh Dress, $188

The price makes me cringe, but the material and details make the dress worth it. Thoughts?

By the way, I've been great! Perhaps too busy, but my filled up schedule just makes the week go by faster, and I feel like I earn more after working so hard. I'm learning so much from Tom Carr, the School of Music's new sound engineering guy, who taught at Berklee College of Music. I've been managing the recording studio here and have been working many concerts -- I finally feel like I am getting the education I expected when I first got to college, and this happy feeling couldn't have come soon enough! I am right where I want to be. ^_^

I am now co-principle of Symphony's viola section, working on Bach's 2nd violin partita (arr. for viola) and Miklos Rozsa's Intermezzo for viola. I've been taking lots of pastoral pictures of some great scenery, and I've been working on some new dresses that I think will go great this Fall. Grisha and I are doing well, and my friends are so good to me.

I used to think that I was growing up too fast, but now I think I am doing okay. But it's also my favorite time of the year, and I'm probably just falling in love all over again. Ah, Fall!
