    I luckily don’t have this issue, I can actually be really rough with my hair without feeling a thing. I guess the trick is that I have always been really rough with my hair (really rough brushing and tight pony tails) so my pain threshold is a lot higher when it comes to my hair.

I hope to become and aerialist myself but feel that at 22 it might be too late for me. It saddens me because it is the only thing I feel I might actually be able to be good at and truly blossom at.
