I was so nervous, I've BEEN knowing I've needed the change for months but have been dreading feeling the loss. Loss of maybe looking less feminine, fear of not being perceived as feminine even though I don't want to be??? and then I chopped my shit and now when I look in the mirror I'm so happy about this change. I feel comfortable and i smile. and there's no friction like how I used to feel when I looked at myself with princess hair. I used to feel like an imposter, even though I never believed myself because why wouldn't I want to feel like a pretty princess? that would be wrong. And I was anticipating feeling a loss or just feeling ugly and it's so the opposite and I'm just so grateful
Every time I release something that has been weighing on me, I have to also cut off at least an inch of my hair. Feels like the final step in moving on 🫴🏻
