Magic grain
It was the end of an uncharacteristically hot summer, about twenty years after the great revolt had taken place. Alkali was sitting on the shore, braiding her own hair. She was trying a new type of braid. It was one Zuzu had taught her, and she thought it looked cute so far.

Cutting Cords, Tying Knots
Although I've always loved to get down on any sort of craft session, I recently took up the art of macramé (hippie power) as a way to deal with my trichotillomania. For those who don’t know, "trich" is a body focused repetitive behavior (BFRB) which means that I pull out my hair when I'm stressed or anxious. It’s actually very common and is akin to skin picking and nail biting.

Lots of Knots
Although I've always loved to get down on any sort of craft session, I recently took up the art of macramé (hippie power) as a way to deal with my trichotillomania. For those who don’t know, "trich" is a body focused repetitive behavior (BFRB) which means that I pull out my hair when I'm stressed or anxious. It’s actually very common and is akin to skin picking and nail biting. If you pay close attention, I'd be willing to bet that someone you personally know deals with this disorder in some way. It's pretty hard for a lot of us to talk about it because we are usually riddled with shame or embarrassment. But really, aren't we all embarrassed about something? I know it took me years before I was able to openly share my struggles with anyone.
