Reconnecting with the boy i was meant to be

Sloane Sinclaire

I never liked shaving before. A hassle for the benefit of every one else but me. Now, my fingertips are reaching for the razor the minute I feel peach fuzz protruding from my chin. Now, shaving is a ritual practice of revealing, a choice, a desire, not an act of force or hiding. With each stroke I see the boy I always was, the boy I was always meant to be.
