A telling of relentless unravellings through tumultuous experiences leading up to my 26th year. Picture me, caressing my sanity whilst working two retail jobs, seven days a week, for ten months straight. It was a fresh start to a life I thought I knew so well. I questioned everything as I selfishly tried to figure out my placement in the storyline of my own life. And just when I thought I’d hit rock bottom for the umpteenth time; I realised that absolutely nothing matters to me if I don’t have the most important person in my life to share it with, my mama.

I had lost so much confidence, self-esteem and mostly admiration for who I once was. Cutting my hair off signalled a fresh start, a newfound fearlessness and the realisation that I do have control over myself and the decisions I make in my life.
