Random thoughts…..
I used to have an attachment to my hair…. I believed that I held emotions in it and I would get a release when I would cut it. So when I had a break up or a “traumatic” experience, I would get a haircut and release my emotions….
I got a haircut today. It was much needed….the last time I got a haircut I asked for one thing and got a complete other thing that sucked. Today was the day that I finally gave in.
As I left the salon I realized that I hadn’t had a haircut since my last heartbreak…. (2 years ago) and it dawned on me that, maybe all that emotional baggage stuff and having to cut my hair to let it all go was all in my head (literally and figuratively) … or was it? I’ve been living my life and going about my business, maybe thinking of my past relationships a couple times but not enough that it consumed me or made me want to go back….. ever, and I hadn’t cut my hair or “cut my losses” …. so was all that just an excuse to get a new do in the past? Or do people really believe that there is emotional baggage in hair?
I will say that after my reflection and realizations today…. I do think I’m releasing some stuff tonight. Whether it’s in my head or my hair….. I’m glad I got a hair cut today. 🙂
