3 weeks in now!
Had some bumps in the road on the insecurity/confidence front but got through them without too much fuss, and I'm finding I genuinely like how I look now. When I was fussing with my hair it was all "meh." Now my face is more prominent and I actually find I like how my face looks!
Important debut happening tomorrow with an older friend who may not be supportive. I'm nervous, but not as nervous as I would have been a week ago and I'm prepared to ignore any negative/nonconstructive opinions.
I went to try on some wigs just for fun w/ a friend and I found that by now I was put off by my appearance with long hair again
That didn't take long!
