Giving myself grace whilst on my period

I actually just want to scream and cry and be mad but the silver lining is that i love everyone in my life so much and i wish they really understood how much i mean that and i’m crying now looking at the bloody stained mess of a mid-day period.

you may not know but you will learn

It sounds like you’re nervous because you feel like you’re not good enough or don’t know enough. Remember that they brought you on knowing your lack of experience and new-ness to the industry. They know you don’t know! So don’t be afraid to say you don’t know! Go in ready to ask questions and honestly say I don’t know what that is or could you explain that. I’m sure people would love to explain a bit more about what they do and maybe begin to see what they do with fresh eyes. They must’ve seen in you a desire to learn and passion for the industry, that got you through the door, and the knowledge will follow. You may not know, but you will learn.

A second much worse haircut

To mask the first bad one. It really helps build character if I do say so myself.
