My loooooong hair.

Being a great friend to people who didn’t deserve it.
Worrying about what older family members thought - and then they died, and I suddenly realised they were only human, so what was all that about?
Being slightly pissed, which is a huge time thief.

Straightening my hair. I still do it once in a blue moon as I actually prefer it that way (probably from years of ingrained devotion to straightening) but it takes 30 mins and it's so bad for it, and my hair is very wavy which I'm told by others is nicer, plus it's now in better condition than it's ever been without the heat. So now I just wash, stick some serum in and hope for the best (or stick it in a bun). I used to straighten it every morning before work. Or even just going to the shops. Madness!

Washing and drying my hair every bloody morning! Madness. Now I wash it once a week and I even resent that, it seems to take forever.

Trying to fit in with everyone else, hiding my real personality and emulating other girls so people would like me.

@IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads Snap!! I came on to write exactly what you wrote (and also love Bowie!)

Hanging around in a huge group of friends, wondering why I was so stressed and miserable.

The day I learned that introversion was a) a thing, and b) valid, changed everything for the better.

Listening to Radio Luxemburg! Yes I am that old!
Day dreaming (practically Olympic Sport level!

Feeling very hard done by - rarely got pocket money so rarely got new clothes.
Could just about afford a little Rimmel roll on mascara (yep that ages me too!) and a tiny pot of Nivea!
