Chapter 2: Feel what you want to feel

So I got my hair done today. If you know me, you know I have been waiting to go ginger for the longest time. I was so excited that I finally made the decision to do it. I have worked so hard physically and mentally the last year and a half, I know I deserve to do something that makes me really excited and happy. My hair did not end up turning out how I wanted it to and I was really upset about it for a while. Don’t get me wrong it still looks good and I have started liking it more already, but that doesn’t take away from how upset I was today. Most of it was that I was so excited for so long to do this, I told everyone I knew about it and I could not wait. It felt like Christmas morning waking up today honestly. So to have the end result of something I have been dreaming of for years, be so far from what I wanted, was really disappointing. And while the hair upset me, what upset me even more was no one really understanding it. I felt so stupid being upset about something as silly as hair when there are so many bigger problems going on in the world. But that is the exact reason I started writing this.


Look, there is always going to be someone that has it better than you and there is always going to be someone that has it worse than you. Neither of those facts should ever, and don’t ever, take away from your own moment. If I want to cry about my expensive hair color, I am entitled to do so, even if other people think it’s vain or shallow. Guess what? It is not their hair, their body or their life to judge. Judgment is natural, whether it comes from a stranger, family member, friend or anyone, it is simply a part of human beings. But others' judgment of your actions should not dictate your thoughts on your own actions, they are yours!



Enjoy your life. I love you and of course, if it is just me reading this, I love you and I am so proud of you.
