I have goals and plans and things that I want to do with my time and my life. And I also have… whatever it is that is “wrong” with me. Depression? Anxiety?

I saw my family this weekend for Thanksgiving. I have been avoiding this family for about 10 years, so it was quite an occasion. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly why I wanted to go, and I had few expectations for what might happen.

After I combed out my dreads this summer, I had a bit of a panic trying to figure out the next state I wanted my hair to be in. I cut it myself a few times, and a friend of mine dyed it pink for me at Alchemy. I’ve now done the re-dye job once on my own, and it came out great.
