All my life, I have not cared one way or another if I had long hair or short hair.
Long hair was usually in a pony tail and short hair meant I probably looked like a boy.
Luckily for me, I did not CARE what anyone said about me or my hair. My hair was mine. If I wanted it long that was my call. If I wanted it short like a boy, that was my call. If I wanted it bouncy with a perm, again it was all on me. If I wanted my hair blue or purple even at the right old age of 30 and a mom to 3 kids, I would do it.
Hair is hair people.
It grows back.
It does not define you. It doesn’t make you a better parents, a better wife, or a better friend. It just another way to express yourself. If it turns out badly, hey…that is why God made hats right? I kid. WHO CARES if it turned out wrong?! IT WILL GROW BACK!
The point of this post is to not get wrapped up in the outside. Inside is what matters. Forget the world and their view of what you SHOULD look like or what your spouse thinks you should look like and make sure you LOVE who YOU are!
I went and got a haircut today. Chopped the hair completely off. It did NOT come out like I had hoped. The girl took a little bit more off the top than I was wanting. Am I upset? No. I am not one to get my panties in a bunch because of my hair. I still like my hair, I just know to let it grow some more and when I go back just have her trim up the bottom and it will be exactly how I wanted it today. No big deal. Life goes on.
This hair do took me maybe 15 minutes to fix. That includes air drying. Perfect for this mom who has ZERO time and really does not get wrapped up in appearance.
Do I look like a boy? Ehh…If you think so, that’s your opinion. I think I look awesome. I am comfortable and I am happy. That is all that matters!

Hugs@ I know all too well when a stylist takes off a bit more than desired. BUt it is super cute… and super quick and easy to fix!!
I am in the inbetween with my hair. I want it to grow out… OR cut short. But this inbetween stage is driving me bonkers
Perhaps your new short ‘do’ has inspired me to chop mine off as well

Perfect attitude!
I wish I had been this way at 14 when I was turned into “Ronald McDonald” by my stylist!
