To say I’ve been unlucky in love in my short 25 years would be an understatement.
An eternal single gal and third-wheeler, I became dangerously good at being a wingwoman. My strike rate was near-perfect, as was my capacity to cope with the rejection of pretty much every romantic conquest I’d ever undertaken.
Throughout my schooling, I always fit the class clown archetype. I set up camp in the friend zone and made myself at home.
If my life were a TV show, I would 10/10 be this poor guy.

A lot of this stemmed from insecurities about my appearance. Specifically, my afro-like mop of bright red hair.
Like most kids, I was ridiculously cute - shiny curls, rosy red cheeks and a glint in my eye - up until those standard 'I'm going through puberty' years.
You've been there, wrestling into a crop top trying to cover up those boobie things. And you stunk. And looked... greasy.
But unlike other kids (or so it seemed to me), my awkward phase was more like an awkward decade. Hence, my entire primary and high school experience can be summed up in two words: unrequited love.

I've never understood people who have red hair who don't appreciate it. I've spent the last 2 and a half decades dying my hair different shades of burgundy and deep red. You have what I have to pay for in a box. I remember when other kids experimented with hair dyes, the first colour they would go for, would be a red. So, it seems quite popular, I don't know what the author is saying?
I've always loved red hair.
Apart from a couple of times in my life when I went blonde and another time when I went dark brown and then the couple of years when I went blue - red has been my favorite.
My hair was a light brown with red in it - but not the beautiful auburn tones that sat on my cousin's head so - I helped it along a bit.
My colour of choice all these years has been Nice 'n Easy 110 which I apply 2 - 3 times a year, but if I want to give it a boost I use Live Colour - Red Embers. This washes out over a couple of washes but it's really nice and cheap.
Have you ever seen those images of lots of redheads in a group ?
Or those beautiful "Irish-looking " girls with their masses of auburn curls posing with their dogs & horses ?
Rejoice if you're a Ranga - it's too special to waste.........lol.
