I used to wonder why older women cut their hair off when they reached a certain age.
I imagine that there's a list of reasons, like a new look or simply wanting a simpler hair routine.
I've been thinking about it more. I've been thinking about a low cut. Look at some pictures I pulled from Pinterest just to see what I've been pondering...
When I do it, because I AM going to do it - WHEN I do it, it will symbolize my rebirth. It will be symbolic of being grounded in who I am, with the ability to parent myself through the final half of this life.
When I cut my hair, I want to start low. Like a baby with a full head of hair, it will grow with me. The strands that grow will be with me until I transition. They will be natural and untreated strands. Unless I dye them...
Maybe not fully natural, I love a good color change.
Anyway, I'm not there yet, but I feel like I'm confidently growing into the woman who is prepared to cut her hair. I can see her, I can feel her, sometimes I hear her voice, which means she's close to being born.
I am preparing for her, and I look forward to welcoming her into our new chapter.
I am excited about who I am growing to be. I am working so hard to be... What I am finding on this journey is that I am enjoying the journey of becoming her.
