Alex met Sam at nursery. They were first loves. They built forts together, shared sandwiches in high school, and were each other's first kiss.

They were the dream couple until Sam got into EDM music.

While Alex enjoyed folk, first loves are kind of like your current account. If they aren't working for you anymore,

maybe it's time to switch with the current account switch service.

Hi friends. Happy Wednesday. I hope today is treating you well.

Today we're talking about rest, but first today's rosebud and thorn.

So my rose for today is that when I came into the office, my neighbor, who if you've been listening to the podcast for a while,

planted all those tulips that made me so happy, left me an article from the New York Times in my mailbox,

and it was all about podcasting and she just saw it and thought of me and put it in my mailbox and it made my day.

My thorn is that I may or may not have made a weird choice with my hair.

I saw this YouTube tutorial. Maybe it was like a TikTok thing. I don't know. I saw a thing where a woman was like,

this is how you style curtain bangs, which if you don't know, I gave myself a quarantine haircut like a month or two ago.

And the intention was to have curtain bangs, but I cut them too short.

So it just like they kept getting in my eyes, but I felt like maybe they're long enough now to where I can wear them like that.

So the first time I did it, it kind of worked. And I was like, okay, except for these pieces that are on the side,

which are like a little bit too long, and they don't kind of like naturally flow into the style.

And so I cut them and I cut them way too short and it looks crazy.

And to make that even like better, I have not been able to get that style again since the first time I did it.
