Top Episodes Quotes
- βI buzzed my head made me realize how insecure I've really been my whole life without even realizing it. Like, I don't know. I've always relied so much on outside opinions for confidence and, like, a boost in self esteem, and I kind of just decided to send it because I thought it would. I honestly thought it would look good. I thought it would look cool, or I was at least hoping that it would. But one of the big factors in, like, actually making the decision to buzz all the hair off was, hey, regardless if it looks good or bad, I have value as an individual, and I don't need to, like, view myself as less than, even if it doesn't look good, if that makes sense.β by Matt
- βIt really affects everything. And it's such a mental game too, like, just thinking about when you can be away. Do you have enough milk stored? They do need to eat, and you're not there. And, like, how long has it been? Like, am I gonna be able to nurse in this public space? Like, there's so many questions, and it's such a mind game, and it can be really, really stressful, but it can also be, like, so bonding and beautiful, and it's like how our bodies were designed. It's a really emotional thing.β by Abby
