I love that you went blond! This is such a great reminder to be light and play. Unsurprisingly to no one, I struggle with that too.

I take such comfort in how we struggle with so many similar things. Makes me feel not so alone. 💕

I like the journey you took readers on in this essay, Kim; from being thoughtful in the literal sense and growing to appreciate that about yourself, to also learning to be playful and spontaneous because you like reminding yourself that you exist. Just lovely; I'm so happy to know you and call you friend.

Kim- I love the boldness of 'play' that you emphasized here. Fun is so underrated, even with hair. Hope you're enjoying the blondness (or maybe something else now? As you rightfully should play with).
