My tears just dried up after crying over my new haircut.
Months ago, my mother told me that my curls weren’t very pretty anymore and
that I should get a haircut – a really short one – and allow my hair to grow
back in its natural beauty (i.e. cut off all the damaged part of my hair). I
agreed because I never imagined it to be that short. I cried over it, then. I
crawled in bed with a box of chocolates and entertained myself with a movie.
There’s nothing more I can do, anyway, my hair has already been cut off. I
moved on. Eventually, I thought I looked better in pictures than when I did
with long hair and so I learned to love it.
Yesterday, I laid in bed for hours after an exam and when I
was preparing for my 5:30 PM class, I realized my hair can’t be done. There’s a
stubborn portion of it that stems out and away from the rest of it. And then,
last night, my mother called. She told me she’d seen my pictures on Facebook
and said I should get a haircut because my hair was already shaggy. Imagine
hearing that when you’re having a bad hair day. So today, I got a haircut. Now,
I look like a kindergartner.
But hey, even a bad hair day can be a source of insight.
- There’s more to a day than having a bad hair day. How could I waste my tears on such a trivial matter when I could be happy for passing Cost Accounting? Yes, I did it. After two removal exams, I finally did it. Hoorah! So, when you’re having a bad hair day, ignore the bad hair and focus on the day. There are numerous things to be grateful for in a day.
- Remember that your haircut does not make you who you are. It is you who makes your haircut. I thought I look like a kindergartner with this hair. I didn’t realize I was acting like one for crying over such a petty matter. So whether or not my hair does look like that of a kindergartner’s, I want to try my best to look my age.
- Make your own decisions if you don’t want to end up blaming others for what you end up with. I kinda started to regret listening to my mother to get a haircut. But hey, mother knows best. Who knows, after this long (and I mean loooooong) period of time of waiting for my hair to grow back, it might actually look better.
- Thus, the last insight being “Sometimes, you have to wait for things to get better.”
Now I feel better. Have a great hair day!
