Today was all about reinvention for me, or at least I thought so at first. I woke up wondering what I wanted to be, and how I was going to convey the person that I believe that I am. I still don't have full clarity on those things, but I'm getting there. What I did know was, if you feel like you look good on the outside, that is a healthy and positive way to heal the negativity you may feel on the inside. Naturally, that led to a mini makeover of sorts. So I dyed my short natural cut. I'm happy about it. Now that I think of it, I'm actually pretty fearless when it comes to changing my hair. Probably because my motto is "hair is hair and it'll grow back". To be completely honest, that's probably why I change it so much. My hair is the one thing in my life that I was never really afraid to lose control over. My hair is where I feel the most free. Even if something were to go wrong, or I don't agree with the style or the color, I can just chop it off and start anew. I know there's something poetic in there somewhere. There's something really liberating about trying something new, making the conscious choice to be different in order to make yourself better or to remain true to who you already are. I've always believed there was something painstakingly wonderful hidden in the essence of surprise. Quite funny actually, my thought process as of now. I'm thinking, one never really knows how much of a person's morals and beliefs go into the tiny little changes they make. So something as small and seemingly harmless as a makeover, or new hairdo can literally be the basis , the very foundation of someone's emotional anatomy. So doing the unexpected, delighting in the ambiguity of things,can truly be what drives a person to become a much grander version of what they ever believed they can be. I mean I'm no expert, so I can't really say for sure, and I could be reaching but then again, maybe not.
