What Actually Changed After I Cut My Hair
I cut my hair a while ago and wanted to sit with it for a bit just to see if anything actually felt different afterward. We approached the blonde a little differently during that appointment, but the main thing was how much hair I cut off. With the losses and changes in my life, we…

What I Don’t Overthink Anymore
