you really have to allow yourself to surrender in order to actually be taught. you can’t be up your ass all the time. your ego is necessary but don’t let it cost you.

In July I decided to shave my head down to the studs. Realized I didn't like the feeling of my bare bald head being exposed to the world so I started growing my hair back. I'm so grateful that at 42 and a 1/2 my hair still wants to stick around.
