I was going to post a mini pity party because so many of the women I used to stalk for their hair and just generally happy personas are no longer blogging or doing so very infrequently. Others are still blogging but are more of a business now than anything else. I spent about 20 minutes cleaning up my blog feed and adding a couple new folks to groups. I wanted to be sad but I can't really. Life happens and when it does there are about 18 million things more important than documenting your hair growth. I am instead choosing to be grateful that they were around when I was making decisions about hair and being supportive of my journey while they continued on their own. Trying to map out what it means to have healthy hair solo would have been a train wreck for me. Those women, that community, helped me do a better job of nurturing my hair, asking questions of stylists and were generally just good folks to digitally be around. And I definitely can't throw stones. As of this post I'm almost at the total of the last two years combined (24 this year, 26 total the last two years). I abandoned them well before they left me. We all start with vim and vigor and free flowing thoughts and keeping anything going indefinitely is unlikely. Especially when we get bored. My hair is exciting to me again so you're going to hear way more from me than you want to for a while. Buckle up buttercup.
Oh and while my hair friends are taking a break or on hiatus, my food friends are crushing it. The next time I'm bored for dinner I gotta remember to come back and check things out and maybe get an instant pot.
