short hair don’t care!

liberation

Throw back Thursday story:
I remember going to my parents home after a long & emotional day…with a brand new hair trimmer and I handed if it off to my sisters. Within minutes my long (mid-back) length hair was ALL gone!!
I’ve always been terrified of cutting my hair especially “boy” short because I have a round face. But after getting my hair professionally cut I was genuinely very happy with my new look. In fact ever since I’ve kept my hair shoulder length or shorter.
Now as women/girls having long hair signifies femininity and beauty to some, so having short short hair isn’t a gals first choice. Having undergone my transformation I feel like I let go of my fear of being “exposed,” meaning I could not hide behind my hair nor did my hair make me! Its crazy how it took a physical change to make me feel a sense of liberation and to allow me to love myself. Since then my fear for change has diminished, I embrace new things and change is good!! Often I try to remind myself of how I “survived” when I felt life had gotten super tough! So now when my family & friends ask for my opinion about a hair cut I ALWAYS say GO FOR IT!!! It will grow back.
In conclusion I encourage you to think about your fears and you’d be surprised to find out that what you really fear. Face your insecurities, deal with the emotions and let it go!! Happy Throw back Thursday!
besos,
B
