Life's Negotiations

Fully steeped in adulthood, surrounded by decisions, responsibility and people counting on you requires a certain negotiation between what you want and what others want.

Don't change a thing

Talk about dressing to impress....I had a great conversation with a friend the other day. We both admitted to changing what we wore depending on the friends we were hanging out with.

This was a strange realization for two reasons -- one, because we did this not as teenagers fitting into clicks, but as adults. And two, because it's the kind of thing you don't normally confess. (Or at least I don't.)

Thing is, our reasons for altering our ensembles had little to do with yearning for acceptance. Instead, it was one example of how we energetically tried to match the feeling of the groups we were with.
