The Day I Shaved a Yak
Onii-chan told me what I did yesterday had a name. Yak shaving. I'd never heard the term before, even though I'd been doing it my whole life. Then Miko taught me the difference between prep work and getting lost, and I realized the scariest part isn't the shaving. It's not noticing you've started
