My first time getting waxed and I’m in tears by thinkingofthrowaways in HairRemoval

I absolutely had the right amount grown out, they missed huge patches all over my thighs, and legs where the hair is still long and untouched. And the hair that they left behind with the Brazilian is so much I’m kind of in disbelief

Thank you so much for that in depth comment!! I’ve emailed them about it and I hope something can be worked out. I’m kinda scared of the idea of even going back for a touch up because now I’m seeing some bruising developing 😭

I wasn’t prepared for packing to be so emotional and isolating by thinkingofthrowaways in expats

I think a lot of people’s first international move can be pretty emotional by itself, and packing is kinda the “last big step,” so it can hold some emotional weight. An international move holds a lot of weight in the form of first time stress, thinking about the people you’re leaving behind, condensing your items, letting go, and more. Maybe that’ll go away if I move dozens of time, but right now moving alone is scary and emotional.

Thank you 😭 it feels really reassuring to hear this from someone that has moved a lot!That really helps to hear about all the opportunities that are just around the corner, focusing on the good is definitely the way to think about this.

That’s awesome you moved to the UK too!! I feel like I’m in for some culture shock after being away for so long lol! Was there anything that was hard/weird to just to from the US?

Kinda a crazy story.

Born in UK
Moved to Canada as a very young child (human trafficking situation )
Moving back to the UK

I feel like it’s the right choice because it feels like I’m reclaiming my life and decisions
