    I saw it. I saw the TV Glow.

    It was around two years ago.

    For the past few months, something had been itching my brain. I had recently started to grow my hair. A journey influenced by my brother's own decision to grow it out. I started looking at myself different in the mirror. Not only had my appearance change but I've recently started medication that made my…
