Cutting own hair off

Yeah, I had long hair and I eventually snapped and walked round to the hairdressers and told them to cut it all off. The hairdresser wouldn’t do it at first, but eventually, when I just sat there, she did it. 

OMG it felt amazing. I don’t know how short it was in terms of mm, but it was short. She used the clipper thing all over. It was truly amazing, the way it felt. Everyone else was horrified and after a while I felt naked. So it’s long again now but I rarely wash it and I brush it only about once a week, but if I’m honest, I would prefer it shaved off. Maybe I’ll do that again sometime. It definitely feels amazing. 

I miss my hair being short....it is cut and treated as my husband likes it...

for me short hair meant that others didn’t see such a me that was feminine or requiring objectification....like aging, I want to grow grey, be natural and honest with my self identity and portrayal of self ...I want people so see pass this and see me...or just walk past 

I can relate to that Elie, I miss the short hair. My hair is really long and thick and it kind of gave me a way of being more ‘accepted’. I don’t like wearing make up or jewellery or ‘girls clothes’ so the hair kind of made me a bit more acceptable. But now I’m no longer feeling the need to pass and fit in, I might go ahead and cut it all off again. It’s easy to look after, I only wash it 2 or 3 times a year and it doesn’t get greasy or anything and I only brush it now and again so it’s low maintenance but still a pain in the but sometimes! 

I know what you mean about wanting to just be you and if people don’t like it, good, that weeded out the ones we don’t want to spend time with! I wear my wellies everywhere and people can’t understand why or they judge me, but I really don’t care anymore and I’ve got a good feeling that I’m gonna continue to care less and less as I become more and more of me :-) 

What a picture! In both senses.....x big love Robert 

Recent walk very different.

Hehe, me too Robert123 and yes, I seem to have a thing for poetry. Sometimes I get this urge to clear my mind and write. I put pen to paper and within minutes, a poem appears. I never know what it’s going to say until I read the words. 

I love the picture, I’ll get one of mine from my most recent walk. 

So, you are a poet.  

My poetry is in the mind, I cannot put it down in words.

 I love the colours of Autumn leaves.

As long as they are dry. I love walking in them.

I live alone so I dress and walk inside how I like. No socks, no shoes, even birthday suit.
