my serious shrinkage face
shrinkage,
i hated you for a long time, and why shrinkage, why did i do that? i ask this rhetorically because i now realize that it was you who helped to keep my hair moisturized and you who helped me – less my desire to admit it – GROW my hair. there! i said it, now you can go gloat in your glory – your much deserved glory. you often get a bad rap from curly and kinky haired girls, and i wasn’t helping the situation because i was drinking the shrinkage haterade too – but now i realize the error in my shrinkage hater ways. shrinkage, i want to have [click to continue…]
