Welcome!

Welcome, whether you're new to my stuff or an old reader, to Farfalla (previously Coming Later, lately Ooh! Shiny!). The butterfly imagery, in addition to being just plain adorable, is indicative of the blog's changes over the past year or so, but no worries; I'm having as much fun as ever and I hope that's apparent.
I hope you enjoy, and as always,

Trichotillomania

You've probably already seen this on twitter or facebook, but just in case... 

I forgot to mention if you have ANY questions not answered in this video, please please please ask! The supposed stigma of trichotillomania--or really any "embarrassing" disorder--won't die until we can talk about this stuff honestly and openly. Ask your questions in a comment or twitter or something.

I also recently joined "TrichWorld", which is a social networking site created by Cheryn Salazar (who is also the brain behind trich.org). I am trying to be super careful to not turn trichotillomania into a label (as I am prone to do) so I don't plan on spending hours on there, but occasionally it's nice to talk with people who understand the whole thing. So if you're trichy (ahahaha), that's a really great support group. There's even a group for people who specifically pull eyebrows and eyelashes.

If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies. ~ Anonymous

Just like the butterfly, I too will awaken in my own time. ~ Deborah Chaskin

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.
