I don’t cringe at my past self, because I understand that I was working with the tools I had at the time, but I definitely don’t endorse my past actions or look at pictures of myself and think I look good.
I do think I look better than I realized at the time, but I did not know anything about dressing myself after 7 years of uniforms and I had no idea how to communicate with hairdressers. I still can’t get a good haircut, but that’s beside the point.
