I've been thrilled with the idea of shaving my head for a while. I was excited to do it! Until I actually decided to do it. Once the decision was made every fear possible came to the surface. You know, "I'm going to look like a dude", "my dad will hate it", "I won't be cool anymore", "there will be nothing unique about me (which is total bullshit!)", and other crazy worries. The ego doesn't like uncertainty.
Despite being afraid I decided to shave my head anyway. Whatever fears that will arise from this I'll deal with them when they come. And so I did it...
And here is the proof.



I got over all those silly assumptions and shaved my head. I am sort of still in shock, and I haven't been out in public yet; but my friends have been extremely supportive and I feel really good at the moment.
Don't let the silly things your mind comes up with stop you from doing something awesome. Whatever it is most likely won't turn out as disastrous as you may think!
I also have the video to share with you! I can't believe all that hair was on my head!
What awesome fears have you overcome lately? How did it feel to do those things?
Stay awesome!

Victory to you, Dyamond! I know how huge a commitment to personal freedom a haircut can be. Just this morning I had my semi-annual moment of looking at my hair in the mirror and thinking "it might be nice to cut it all off" and then facing my stream of short hair fears.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on doing what you KNOW you wanted and needed to do. For you.
Peace,

Thank you! I appreciate your support. Hair is a very hard thing to let go of. Just yesterday I cut my husbands hair. It's funny I am more attached to his hair than I am mine I believe.
ReplyDeleteYou are beautiful. That beauty comes from within and has nothing to do with your outside appearance. Your body reflects your inner self I believe. So no matter what you do you will still be beautiful. You can't erase or cut away your beauty which a haircut will never take from you.
Thank you for commenting, and I hope I'll see you again sometime soon? :]
