That line about watching your caffeine fix drip one drop at a time hit me. It reminds me of the time I tried to develop my own black and white film. The developer instructions said to agitate the tank for exactly ten seconds every minute. I got so focused on the gentle rocking motion that I completely lost track of which minute I was on. Ended up leaving the film in the developer for probably twenty minutes. The pictures came out so dark and foggy you could barely make out my subject, which was a very disappointed looking cat. Sometimes being too careful makes you forget the bigger picture, like the clock.

No way! That's exactly what my friend went through with her bangs last year. She had this perfect center part that just would not behave, always doing that weird split thing by lunchtime. Her hairstylist finally convinced her to try a heavy side cut and texturizing, kind of like your tip. I mean, she was so skeptical but now she says it's like having different hair, way less fuss. Idk, maybe it's just me but seeing her finally stop fighting with her hair every morning was pretty cool.

Wait, your blender actually died from that @nina_ramirez?

Wait, the Arizona sinking a different way? That's literally impossible.

See that sticking with it often links to daily habits. Your mileage may vary, but that's a pattern I notice everywhere.
