I tried to grow out my nails in an amusing attempt to prove that I can be the girl with delicate fingernails. But I cut them, and remembered how much I love freshly cut fingernails. I bought sweaters and dress pants for sophistication, only to crave the afternoon change into jeans and a white tee. I bought makeup only to remember that I like my face without it. And here I am in Washington, DC, only to realize that I love waking up in Valley Center.
