A few years since parting from gel nails

There used to be times when my fingernails were about 0.5cm longer than my fingertips.

Playing the piano made long nails unwelcome guests, and weekly trimming made gel nails a luxury. I managed to maintain gel nails every 2 weeks, but I finally said goodbye to them when I started baking.

Short fingernails still feel a bit unfamiliar and colorful nails are still missed, but it’s just a reminder of the fact that there’s a price to pay for certain choices.

But I like the choices I made, so the regret isn’t that great.
