It bugs me when people are unnecessarily mean. Like,
you didn’t have to make that comment. You could have just kept your mouth shut
and left that person not feeling bad about themselves. What do you gain from
making someone else feel like shit? Nothing of substance. Maybe a fleeting
moment of power but that’s gone as soon as it comes so why? There’s enough
unhappiness in the world without you adding to it.
Forgive the past. It is over. Learn from it and let
go. People are constantly changing and growing. Do not cling to a limited,
disconnected, negative image of a person in the past. See that person now. Your
relationship is always alive and changing.
I do not believe that the hair in itself is that
important, this is not about protection from men’s lusts. It is me telling the
world that my femininity is not available for public consumption. I am taking
control of it, and I don’t want to be part of a system that reduces and demeans
women. Behind this exterior I am a person – and it is this person for which I
want to be known.
Certain things happen and they just make you
re-evaluate what’s important in life. Value the people you have, no matter how
much your family might get on your nerves and no matter what bad stuff they’ve
done to you. Remember the good things, the great memories, and treasure the
people around you because you never know when one of them might go. Thank you !
