I don't want a valuable life lesson! I just want an ice cream.


Sometimes hair is brown as afternoon sunshine, or cinnamon rolls for breakfast, long and straight and beautiful like it belongs to a princess. Sometimes it's sleek, dark, and free as a black stallion. Sometimes you get lucky and curly with wild ringlets.

I ended up blonde, which is fine I guess. More canvas for creativity, I pretend. More space for colors, no need for bleach. But blonde was Momma’s color and it feels wrong for it to be mine, too.

I wonder if they have hair salons in heaven.

Beautifully-written!!! "But blonde was Momma’s color and it feels wrong for it to be mine, too." This part was really touching...
