No.

psychology of frequent hair changes 

Artificial changing of appearance is an inherently female thing. Women often try to cope with powerlessness by cutting their hair (the principle of extrapolation implies that the same can be said for the changing of a woman’s body). A longing exists to reclaim authority over the unruly chapters of existence, to command a semblance of order amidst the chaos that tangles within. Scissors whisper promises of liberation: how to gain control again. 

how to gain control again? 

You don’t, so you change your hair. You trim your bangs; you go from brunette to copper to brunette again just to prove to yourself that when the steel meets the hair and your feet hit the scale, you sever ties to the old self, to the days of tumultuous unknowns.

correlation between hunger and forgetfulness

Forgetfulness can arise from anxiety, depression, nutritional deficiency, or trauma. The hunger, a small starving creature, gluttonous in a barren ribcage, bellows to answer how something can be so empty yet filled to the brim with drawing lust, reminding my sadistic mind what a growling digestive tract sounds like.

how magic 8 ball works 

A reservoir containing a white plastic 20-sided die, floating in approximately 100 ml of alcohol dyed deep blue. Each of the die’s 20 faces consists of an affirmative, negative, or noncommittal statement printed in raised letters. It gives me more answers than I have on my own. An affirmative: Yes, definitely. You are forgetting to eat. A negative: Outlook not so good. You are emaciated. A noncommittal: Eat and ask again later.
