I was looking through some pictures of me and my hair. I got my big chop on August 30, 2013. The pictures of my hair turn my stomach. I looked crazy. There was nothing I could do but just look crazy. I stayed inside a bit more because I didn't want to go outside looking like I was looking. Now nearly 7 months after my big chop and I'm feeling a little bit better about my hair. IT'S GROWING...no it's not down my back, or even long enough to pull into a pony tail. But I can rock a Peter Cotton Tail!!! LOL...
My hair has definitely grown. I'm able to do twist outs, braid outs and once in awhile Bantu knots. Now just because I said I can do them does not mean that I look cute in any of these styles, but I'm working on it. Each day I rise with the intent of doing something different to my hair, only to end up in my Peter Cottontail! And that's ok!!! As long as a I have a go to style, I'm ok. I'm definitely a lot more patient with this journey; with this process. And NO...please don't get it wrong, by no means am I saying that I'm happy, that I look cute and I have this under control. If I did, Id'd be lying. What I am saying is that it's growing (which makes me happy) and I'm feeling better. Not cute, just a little better. I've got awhile before I get to cute.
I was talking to one of my girlfriends and she said she feels sad for me. She reads my blog and feels sad for me. Thanks Tam....you should!! You know why??? Because I didn't chose this, it chose me. And so while I'm one of the chosen ones, I have to figure out how to get in where I fit in. So please stay tuned.....my hair journey is on going, and going to a higher level. In a few months, I may be able to take a picture and post it up and not be embarrassed.
Until then.....keep reading and following me.
