Anniversary
Jul. 28th, 2019 08:54 pmToday is the anniversary of the breakdown that sent me seeking more than talk therapy for anxiety. I've been so enjoying watching all of the action of costume college on instagram and am only a tiny bit sad I didn't go. More grateful that I didn't have to try to be someone I'm not (totally my own pressure). Today has been very melancholy though, when I realized the Sunday was the day that marked the end of me trying to muddle through on my own. I don't regret the steps I've taken since then, only that it took so long to take them.
It's also been a year since I embraced my natural hair texture. I'm sitting here with conditioner on dry hair in anticipation of washing it out. I stopped using shampoo well over a year ago or only used it on my roots, and also had been using conditioner exclusively. Last year I decided to go full Curly Girl and have been conditioner-washing and styling and not brushing it dry, etc. I feel like I still have a ways to go before I'm really happy with it, and the next step will be a hair cut. I saw a stylist before I left who has experience with curly hair but couldn't swing the cost AND a road trip. So hopefully once I get my budget done up for August I can make it work.
