Blog: Imperfection is OK
When my parents found out I’d started going to counseling again in October, they were more than a little surprised.

Blog: “The Hillary Rodham Clinton”
I couldn’t do it. I said I was going to get my first shaping over Thanksgiving, and I never thought I’d say this during the grow-out, but my hair wasn’t atrocious looking enough. It’s been four months since my last real haircut in mid-August, and my hair doesn’t look nearly as bad as the first […]
