Straightening my hair for the first time...

I did my big chop 4 years ago - 2 weeks before I went to college. But I only started growing my hair out last January.

“Pain is weakness leaving the body”. I always hated hearing this. I used to think it meant that if I was crying, I was weak to be doing so. But what it means is, if tears are brought to my eyes, it is not weakness of my character, but weakness of my mind.
