What drives my personal appearance choices these days? 

Did I stop shaving because of the pandemic, because I’m 36 years old and I know my body doesn’t need any part of it hidden or removed, or because I’m depressed? 

A couple of those questions apply to shaving my head: depression? Pandemic? Tired of being told that I must look a certain way to be “feminine?” I’m plenty feminine, even when my hair trimming  choices contradict the norm. 

I regularly consider myself lucky for finding Mr. Adventure. Lately, I am thankful that he doesn’t care when my hairstyle is, or leg hair is like. In prior relationships, it would have been a source of so much stress and criticism. Instead, I just get to be a badass.
