    Cutting my hair short (like masc).

    Folks insisted “but [my] hair is so nice”, “what if you regret it?” And “but you won’t be able to tie it back.”

    I finally feel like me. I’m almost mad at myself for not doing it like ten years ago. I’m so genuinely happy over a friggin haircut. It’s wild.

        I relate so hard to this.

        It came to a head one day in college, I had planned to cut my hair short because it was summer. I was feeling crummy flu like symptoms and kept putting it off until finally I had to give in and put off the haircut.

        I felt such a euphoric sense of relief, it made me realize how much more me I felt with long long hair.

      I kept my hair short for like half a decade until covid, and it was so enjoyable. It kinda didn’t look well on me, sadly. I looked like a match. XD
