Day #2: Write something that someone told you about yourself that you never forgot. https://lifeentirely.wordpress.com I can think of two statements that were said to me, about me. One positive, one negative, that come to mind immediately when I ponder that question.  I had my wool dread extensions in my hair. I do admit that I can pull them off easily.
