282. Should I Get Bangs?

Nora recently found herself standing in her bathroom, looking at herself in the mirror, holding a pair of scissors above her forehead. She asked herself a question she’s asked herself many times before: should I cut bangs? And if so…is this a cry for help? A version of this essay appeared in Nora’s newsletter.  _ If you have anxiety, depression or any sense of the world around you, you know that not *everything* is going to be okay. In fact, many things aren’t okay and never will be! But instead of falling into the pit of despair, we’re bringing you a little OK for your day. Every weekday, we’ll bring you one okay thing to help you start, end or endure your day with the opposite of a doom scroll. Created and hosted by Nora McInerny.
