He asked me, “how much longer are you going to wait?”
-
“I’ll do it in the spring” I said. But truth be told, what was I really waiting for?
-
I’ve been wanting to cut/shave off all my hair since I watched Halle Berry star as cat woman when I was 13. Within the last few years I’ve been taking baby steps to get to this day.
-
Why the fuck not? It’s hair. If I don’t like it, I can grow it back. The fact is that I’m doing something that I’ve been waiting to do for way too long, and have held back for no specific reason as all. For what? Because what? I’m scared I’m going to look like a boy? I’m scared people who think I’m a lesbian? I’m scared people won’t like it? Who the fuck really cares what others think, when I know that I’m doing this for no one but myself. To a certain degree my hair was my security blanket, keeping me “safe” from judgement of my true authentic self.
-
As my hair was falling to the ground, I had a visualization of big metal gates being blown open by an explosion. And then there I was, walking through what felt like a scene from an action movie, holding myself tall and strong, yet gentle and serene. A true sense of confidence and feeling more me than ever before.
-
I feel like as a woman, I’ve been hiding behind my hair my entire life. Sure, I can tie it up and back, but I feel like on some days where I did not want to be seen, I would hide my face behind my hair. But subconsciously, I’m hiding so much more.
-
Now, there’s no where to hide.
