I used to be obsessed — like, hours-in-front-of-the-mirror fixated — with having the most voluminous hair I could muster.

Someone once told me that on a subconscious level, our biggest fears do double duty as our most secret desires. I’m not sure whether that’s true (most things I fear are too terrible to imagine any positives coming from them), but it would make perfect sense in certain contexts of my life — especially when […]
