Thoughts about having my hair cut short again 💇

About two years ago I had my hair cut. The strange thing about that was the fact that I always wanted to have long, luscious hair. Nevertheless, as I tried to explain in this post, I felt that I needed  a change and I took the big decision. And I was really excited with the outcome. But that lasted only for a few weeks. After a while, my opinion about my hairstyle changed radically and I promised to myself to never cut my hair so short ever again. And I kept my promise until a few weeks ago. 

Yes, I broke my promise and I had my hair cut. Now, it touches my shoulders. But why did I do it? Two reasons. The first one was practical. For a long time I was thinking about doing it because I wanted my hair to be at the same length but it wasn't. To be honest, that was my fault, because one time my hairdresser asked me if I wanted her to layer my hair and I said yes without knowing what that meant. So, it was high time to correct this mistake of mine.

And the second reason? Well, that was the emotional one. When I went at the hair salon and I made my appointment for the next morning, I had had the intention to only have her cut my spilt ends. However, that whole day I was feeling like I had a weight on my chest. I was stressed with the amount of work I had for my classes, the upcoming exams and my insecurities, which from time to time show up and just bring me down. So, I decided that I needed a fresh start, a new me, which would help me get rid of the heavy feelings, brighten up and see all the difficulties as challenges and not as burdens. 

And fortunately it did help. Doing something for me reminded me that all the things that I was stressed about - and I am still stressed about- were things that I chose and I wanted to have in my life. Anything that only frustrates me or makes me sad I can get rid of by cutting it out of my life just like the hairdresser cut off my hair. 

So, how do I feel with my new haircut 3 weeks in? I love it. And that is because it helped me to see everything anew. Additionally, I think that it suits my personality at the moment - I hope that it still does in a month from now. The only drawback is that I don't know how to pose for the IG and look good but I will work on it 😅
