One morning in high school, I was running late and I didn’t have time to straighten my hair like I did every other morning. When I got to homeroom, a girl I didn’t really know asked if I let my hair dry naturally that day, and I said yes. She said, simply, “It looks really nice like that." 

For some reason, that comment meant everything to me, and after that day I started wearing my hair curly and crushing on that random girl in homeroom.
