until recently I had never put a whole lot of thought into my appearance
my position has always been "I don't care how I look / I don't care what other people think about me"
that's still true to some extent, but I think what's changed is that I've started to care about how *I* feel about how I look
or maybe that's not it at all. maybe I'm just giddy that for the first time ever I'm starting to piece together a look that hasn't been prescribed to me
