shampoo bottles.

last week i switched my shampoo.

there was something in the paper about

the ways sulfates rub and sc

rub and br

eak you hair

and

make it

all tat-ter-ed.

they sneak into

the finest little cr

acks and just

exploit the

weak

little

bridges

until they just can't take it anymore.

and apparently

lavender

can make you so drained

you forget to switch your ringer on and you sleep through the most important meeting of your life and wake up with tears dried to your cheeks.

i think i

finally came to terms

with the fact that i am allergic

and that it's okay to change.

but,

this week,

gas went up.

and,

you know,

sulfates aren't always that bad.
