So I think that a period of time where I just can't not journal means a growth milestone is about to happen. Because I think I just reached it today. :)

I had two very difficult conversations this weekend, the likes of which I have never had before, with two friends I've known for a very long time. They both turned out very, very well.

After I had written everything out in my paper-and-pen journal (the details are private, and I won't be repeating them here), I felt so. Incredibly. Freed. I literally felt like Eustace in the Narnia books when Aslan tears off that first layer of dragon skin.

I've decided that one of the main things, if not the main thing, that is broken in my family is the lack of open and honest communication. Because I had two very open, honest conversations this weekend with people who took them really, really, really well, and I've realized how incredibly freeing that is. To be honest with somebody and have nothing change in the relationship is so incredibly amazing. :)

So I'm also completely stoked that these two friends are still in my life, and I feel as though this weekend was a big stepping stone in our friendships. :) Yay!!

I'm super excited about this new phase in my life.

-Stephanie, who knows the value of open and honest communication. :)

And in other random, not-serious news, I love my outfit today. :D I'm dressed like fall. I have a pumpkin/rust long sleeved shirt on, dark blue jeans, brown sandals, a brown woven cardivest (cardigan vest), and beige/gold makeup with a touch of green. And I also sprayed myself with some scented spray I own--it smells like a combination of vanilla and cinnamon.

And in other random news, I get to buy some more foundation from The All Natural Face this weekend!! Haha. That's cool to me because I feel like I'm really committed now, LOL.

Oh me and my commit-o-phobia... :D
