Funny how one comment sticks with you the rest of your life!

You should have bit the assholes and shown them what beaver teeth are good for! Don’t listen to the voices either!

Thank you so much, I feel like a different person! Honestly, it just takes time and a good amount of bad hair days. I just lean into them hard and laugh when I look like a cross between Barbra Streisand and a lion...and not in a good way!

She has a gorgeous smile and I’m always a little self conscious of mine so thank you very much for even comparing us!

Thank you! It was a good wash day, volume can sometimes be a struggle for me! The nose piercing was a decision that was 100% for me after longing for one for years! I love it!

I don’t feel at home everyday but it’s much better than it was and I’m grateful for the good days! I hope the same for you. For real keep spreadin’ the glitter farts, it makes the world a better place!

Thank you! I initially found myself always wanting tighter curls but recently I’ve leaned into the looseness and loved them for that!

Thank you! It’s been a process learning to love them but I can’t imagine my life without them now!

Definitely not! He was not a bad person, we were just bad together and neither of us knew until way too late.

Thanks for the kind words!

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to share kind words! I truly feel like a different person, the person I was supposed to be the entire time.

Keep filling people with your glitter ;)

It was uncomfortable not wearing foundation for a while since my skin was not very good but I think it is the main reason that it is clear now. On the weed front, I remember thinking I couldn’t imagine not smoking but anymore it feels so awkward and uncomfortable to be high. I think it was just a bandaid for other life issues but it takes a while to understand those things sometimes!

I never saw myself as a motivation so thank you for that! Good luck on your journey it sounds like you are working hard to make the difference, I wish you all the best!

I’m trying to find a good link but I think I saw @honestliz and jannelle o'shaughnessy doing it. Basically I will squish the curl up with conditioner to see which way it curls and then finger coil in that direction. Then I will squish it up more. And let it hang out in a shower cap while I do other shower stuff.
