Why I’ve been gone
Have you ever felt trapped within your own body? Wish you could peel your skin off, or extract your soul from your flesh and flee. That's impossible though, right?

Running…
I'm so tired, running for miles it seems, but pausing for rest, only to realize I'm in the same place at a different time. Is this what opportunity looks like? Will I wake up one day surrounded by silk or just a pillow fill of tears? I have no time for self pity as the… Continue reading Running…
Urticaria Woes

Princess Hair Shop – Cambodian Loose Curly
The decision to purchase virgin extensions was a tough one, but after doing my research (and strategically saving my money) I finally decided to purchase hair from this company. It seemed as if every YouTube hair weave guru had hair from them, so even though it was expensive it should be worth it.... Well, it… Continue reading Princess Hair Shop – Cambodian Loose Curly
Permed
I did it... Three weeks ago I went to the beauty store, purchased a relaxer, and I straightened 7 years of natural hair growth.
