Short & Sassy

For as lonnnnnng as I can remember I wore my hair long. By the time I turned 19, I was slowly losing interest in it. I cut and donated my hair to Locks of Love for the 1st time at 20 years old. 

That was one of the most fulfilling days of my life. I've always found ways to give and help others, who knew giving my hair would make a difference. After that cut, i grew it back out for a little while. By the time I had my daughter 5 years later, it was long and full again. 

I think my hair became my saving grace. It was the one thing I had control over as my life began to go through many changes( the loss of a child, my mom remarrying and relocating, a bad break up and eventually my own relocation). 

Once I moved to Georgia, the urge to cut my hair soon surfaced. This time though, I cut in support of my child. I assumed due to our relocating and being in a new environment that it affected my daughter's hair causing it to fall out. Who knew, it happened due to a family's member's negligance to inform ME that she had relaxed my child's hair. I cut my hair so that my daughter would feel comfortable with having short hair. 

So many times, we put more emphasis on our appearance than we should. I love my hair but it doesn't define the amazing woman am I. Hair is apart of our cosmetic make up. We can change it at the drop of a dime( kind of similar to the way some of us change our clothes daily). 

I'm now 36 ( 😬) and I've come to appreciate wearing my hair short. It allows my mornings to be spent doing other things vs curling and styling my hair. I'm a proud member of the short hair don't care community! I've embraced it and I love it... My only prayer is that my ( future) husband will love it as much as I do..
