I'm So Relieved!

Hi, guys! This post isn't an advice post, but it may turn into one. Just a heads up.

So. I FINALLY cut all my hair off! I've been saying since April that I wanted to cut my hair and I kept putting it off and procrastinating to schedule appointments. I even decided that I was just going to cut it on my birthday...in January 2018. Well, for no particular reason, I cut it all off today! I was just brushing my teeth and admiring my freshly shampooed and conditioned hair when I noticed some new heat damage. I had learned to ignore the heat damage in the front but now it was in other places, which was just unacceptable. I started cutting.

After cutting just the ends in the back, I decided to cut the front too, since I was feeling so bold. At this point, I was bald in the front. I found myself still cutting hair off, and by the time I realized that I was cutting healthy hair, all of my hair was on my bathroom counter and not on my head. Fun, right?!

A few years ago, when I did the big chop, I cried. Today, I've just been really happy. The feeling of having control over my life again feels great, and I feel sooo beautiful! I've recieved so many compliments and people have even said I'm glowing (but maybe that's because of my highlight lol). It's boosted my self esteem back up and I feel like me again. I guess when I started over on my head, I got the chance to start over in life, as well. I had a moment of impulse and I went with it. Now, I'm basically bald and I'm extremely happy about it. I still haven't decided if I will let it grow back or if I will just keep it cut, but for now, I'm going to enjoy the short look and I'm going to embrace this new happiness I feel.

Some of the best things come when you least expect it, like a marriage proposal or someone paying for your food in a drive-thru. This haircut was a great thing for me, and I feel like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. Next time you want to go for something but are afraid to do it, just inhale deeply, exhale confidently, pick up the scissors, and go to work cutting out the damage in your life. I'm looking forward to my future impulsive moments, and I hope you guys' moments make you feel as empowered as mine made me feel.

Don't forget that I am here to listen and to guide and to help, and please know that you don't have to need advice to interact with me. You can tell me about your day or you can just vent to me about the professor that gets on your nerves. I'm all ears for all situations.

Have blessed days filled with love and positivity!
