My Mosaic

This SW isn’t as good at letting me know when she is and isn’t working @Jynx and I like to know. Helps me plan. Helps me … hmmm feel a bit more in control maybe?

Haha…. It was a deep purple. I use to frequently change the colour of my hair. Always did it myself. Box dye. I don’t do much with my hair anymore. My hair has thinned alot, which has been really distressing. I coloured it before we went overseas and not since. And I’ll go weeks without washing which is gross.

I reckon any purple would look cool in a mowhawk.

haha yep I get that! Or piercing…. Or tattoo.

@Bow aye I getcha. Control is important to feel a sense of, but particularly when one has had it taken forcibly so many times. Do you think it's worth mentioning this to her?

LOL errr.... you know I go weeks without washing my hair on purpose? It's actually way better!! I used to HAVE to wash it every other day or it'd get soooo greasy. Apparently shampoo strips the natural hair oils out, and conditioner puts em back in. But when you strip them, our scalp tried to overcompensate, and will produce waaaay more oil on the scalp. Hence, greasy hair.

After I got dreads this issue disappeared lol then when I chopped em off, I was like 'well I ain't going back to that!' and now I reckon I wash my hair 1-2 times a month.

Like I still rinse it lol and will like run my hands through to loosen any dust or dirt but yeah, my hair is sooooo much healthier now!! You're SO fine 😋

Ooooh do it do it!! What would you get pierced?

My friend is a piercer... he's learning how to split tongues 😲

Hmm yeah that makes sense yes. Yeah maybe I think I should mention it to her @Jynx

Oh I think I knew that maybe about your hair. And yes, prior to my hair issues I’d only wash my hair twice a week. Never understood people washing their hair every day cause it strips your hair of all its natural goodness. My scalp use to itch after a couple of days and I’d know it was time to wash. But I don’t even get that now. It just gets super greasy after a couple of weeks cause I am forever playing with it. Especially twirling when I’m anxious. I’ll give it a bit of a spray of dry shampoo occasionally, especially if I’m going out and it looks gross.

sigh, but that’s my hair. What excuse do I have for the rest of my body??? I don’t actually remember when I last had a shower. That is gross!

Piercings…. More ears! Sometimes I contemplate my nose. And I’d love my tongue, but no.

@Bow Why do you need an excuse, lol you have a reason? I happen to think being chronically stuck in survival mode is a pretty bloody good reason hun. Like... putting effort into appearance is just that, effort, and yours is kinda being prioritised elsewhere. You get a massive free pass from me!!

Dooooo it!! Get your helix pierced, then we'll be helix buds!! Hehehe

Also, not encouraging anything but... piercings HURT. The amount of dopamine you would get.... lol anyway I GOTTA DASH, BYEEEEEE

I did a lil swap so I will see you on Saturday if you're around 😜💜🫂

Oh that’s true eh @Jynx sometimes I can go days and it not even cross my mind and then I’ll be like oh hey you should shower. But the sheer effort to do said task is too much. And then another day or so might pass and repeat again.

I actually already have a few piercings. One ear has 3x lobes and 2x helix. And the other side has 3x lobes, daith, tragus and flat helix. And I got my naval. I got my naval done when I was like 18, but left it out when I had my ovarian cancer cause of all the scans and surgeries. That was like 10yrs ago. I re-pierced it myself a couple of years ago. There isn’t really much left that isn’t cartilage and that takes so long to heal! My flat helix I got done 2 years ago and she still gets crusty!

oh yay, hopefully I’ll be around and I’ll annoy you/you can keep me company while mum is away 🙂

@Bow stopping by to leave lots of 💕💕 hon for you.

Look after yourself, you are worth it.

Take care

Hey @Snowie how are you doing my dear friend? 💕

no good @Bow

Liked reading about piercings!

How are you? When does your mum leave?

I’m sorry things are so hard at the moment @Snowie are you inpatient?

im still having a rough time.

mum and bro left on the train this morning. Mums back Sunday night.

No, not an inpatient @Bow Pdoc wanted me but can't with mum.

Hoping it doesn't get to the 'no choice' point

I'm sorry things aren't going great for you too.

I hope you can lean on the forums for support whilst your mum is away.
