My new hair <3

I need this dress for formal. Someone please tell me where to find it. All I know is it's not Betsey.
I can't wait for winter break so I can travel again. I'm in charge of choosing where our family goes :)
"So many words get lost. They leave the mouth and lose their courage, wandering aimlessly until they are swept into the gutter like dead leaves. On rainy days, you can hear their chorus rushing past: I was a beautiful girl, please don’t go, I too believe my body is made of glass, I’ve never loved anyone, I think of myself as funny, forgive me… There was a time when it wasn’t uncommon to use a piece of string to guide words that otherwise might falter on the way to their destinations. Shy people carried a little bunch of string in their pockets, but people considered loudmouths had no less need for it, since those used to being overheard by everyone were often at a loss for how to make themselves heard by someone. The physical distance between two people using a string was often small; sometimes the smaller the distance, the greater the need for the string. The practice of attaching cups to the ends of string came much later. Some say it is related to the irrepressible urge to press shells to our ears, to hear the still-surviving echo of the world’s first expression. Others say it was started by a man who held the end of a string that was unraveled across the ocean by a girl who left for America. When the world grew bigger, and there wasn’t enough string to keep the things people wanted to say from disappearing into the vastness, the telephone was invented. Sometimes no length of string is long enough to say the thing that needs to be said. In such cases all the string can do, in whatever its form, is conduct a person’s silence." — The History of Love, Nicole Krauss
I want to do this to someone's hair. Who wants to let me try the double braid?
Things are finally going my way for once. Fall break came with some of the best days I’ve had in a really long time. Running away to Laguna was exactly what I needed and helped me make a step in the right direction. I am finally moving on to something that I have a feeling will be much better for me; almost perfect, in fact. He never fails to make me smile, regardless of if I’m actually with him or just talking to him. He makes me feel important and special. I feel like he is genuinely interested in what’s going on with me and how I am and if I’m upset, he makes sure he at least puts in an effort to help make me happy again. We just spent the most amazing two days together visiting his parents. I’m surprised I’ve been able to open up to him so fast. I feel so comfortable around him, which is awesome, because it usually takes me a while to get to that point with anyone. I’m just really happy right now and I love it, because it’s been a while since I’ve felt like this. I really hope things stay this way though, because I feel like anytime I am finally happy again, things do a 180 and go back to being really bad. Bye bye single Kenzie :)
