I don’t want short hair anymore.
.
I found this photo @msprouty took of me a few years ago when I was still living in New York and short hair had become a “signature” for me (ahah pulling out the fashion lexicon). I had let it grow after that. It had taken a while. I had been dreaming of LA and long hair and there I was. It had gotten to my shoulders.
Then last summer, I cut it all over again. .
It didn’t feel right from the first day on, but it took me a few months to admit it to myself - because, shit, if you’re not happy with your short hair then you’re in for a year of awkward haircuts and millions of bobby pins.
I had thought it would be a sort of “back to myself” moment and instead it felt like... Looking at an old photo of me. .
Apparently Coco Chanel said “A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life” - and I agree. There is always a cathartic vibe when you go from long to short. It is so symbolic. Like tattoos. Happy I didn’t get a tattoo 😬 .
But in this case I think it was a desperate attempt at going back to the person I was when I knew who I was - because truly I didn’t know who I was anymore. That same month my ex and I adopted a second dog, which also probably was an attempt at fixing something that we felt couldn’t be fixed anymore. Soon after we broke up. He kept the dog. I kept Lulu. .
And from then on, I started growing my hair again. Sometimes I am thinking of growing it very long. In the meantime, bobby pins...
.
And, I guess, honoring how far I’ve come.
