The Seam That Holds the Sky
I didn’t plan for hair extensions to change anything big. I told myself it was just a practical decision—something to make mornings easier, something to help my hair look the way I wished it always did when I was rested, hydrated, and living a life with fewer deadlines.

Sometimes that “something” that isn’t good for us can turn into a habit. We know that smoking is not good for breathing; we smoke anyway. Drinking affects the liver and other organs; we drink anyway.
