Changes
By Greta ZwaanI sought for joy in peace, and rest to ease my weary mind,
Stressed out by such a heavy load, rest I just had to find.
My endurance could hold no more, my limits had been met,
I needed time to stand aside, sweet time to just forget.
But where to find the road to peace, an obscure trait to me;
My hectic lifestyle can't comprehend a way to set time free.
I've always rushed from A to B with no side glace allowed,
I had my life so well controlled; in truth, I felt quite proud.
No one could tell me what to do, I was a self-made man;
My schedules were controlled by me, I had a thorough plan.
'Twas good when all things went my way and no one interfered;
I had no one to answer to, my way was always cleared.
But years of this brought me no joy, though fortunes I'd amassed;
It seemed that all the things I owned would oh, so soon be past.
I had no friends that knew my plight, I kept myself at bay,
They all had troubles of their own; besides, what could they say?
They envied me with all my wealth, they never saw my pain,
I had life altogether, what more was there to gain?
But loneliness is terrible and emptiness is sad,
There seems no purpose for each day, no reason to be glad.
So now I wait; why? I don't know, but life for me must change.
There must be more than fortunes, a way to rearrange.
There has to be a purpose, and someone surely knows,
Why life is complicated, and days so full of woes.
Perhaps you have the answer, perhaps you know the route,
Perhaps you've traveled here before; if so, please help me out.
If need be, I'll be patient, I'll even take advice;
I'll gladly make the changes, no matter what the price.
I don't need independence, I've had my round of that;
I long for understanding, to know just where I'm at.
Someday I hope to thank you because you saw my need,
Perhaps with greater meaning, with purpose, not with greed.
I don't know how I got here, what lies ahead of me,
I'm grateful there'll be changes, I'm grateful to be free.

Shaving
Shaving is one of the easiest ways of dealing with body hair, however, many people avoid it due to its after effects. Shaving leads to the removal of hair from just the follicle which in turn leads to thicker hair. This thicker hair may lead to multiple problems such as thicker hair follicle which may rash or itch. However, shaving can be done anywhere without going through excessive pain.
Waxing
People prefer waxing a lot at times. It helps with thinning of the hair follicle and even exfoliates the skin at times. This exfoliation will help in removing the dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. However, waxing may lead to burning or itching of the skin as the hair follicle is pulled out of the skin. People avoid waxing as it causes the skin to burn and experience pain. Furthermore, waxing is a cheap option for hair removal. People can easily remove hair without investing in large amounts of money.
Laser
Laser is another effective way to treat body hair. Laser hair removal is extremely effective with minimal pain however, laser removal has its own set of side effects. The radiation may somewhat cause burning and irritation but the growth is reduced.
