I cut my hair and here’s why

Recently I’ve had a lot happen.

1. My car was totaled

2. I lost two talking stages that I put a lot of effort into

3. I lost one of my best friends because of a hurricane

4. My closest friend tried to off herself

5. Another friend distanced herself from me because I’m not “Christian enough”

6. Had a lot of seizures

7. Got my license taken away

8. Lost my apartment

9. My grandpa died

10. Was sexually harassed multiple times

11. My cat died

12. Had to let go of a good friend group

But I’m still standing. And yes a lot of it hurts and sucks ass but I decided that these things don’t define me. I did lose a lot but I also gained so much from these experiences, I believe everything happens for a reason. I think God is there with me.

The reason I cut my hair is because it holds memories and I think that I needed to let a lot of this go and keep moving forward. I got this

Cutting your hair can serve as a profound release of emotional baggage. Many people choose hair transformations during pivotal moments in their lives, symbolizing a fresh start. Beyond aesthetics, hair cutting can be linked to personal empowerment, allowing individuals to redefine themselves after hardship. People often relate their hair to memories, making the act of cutting it not just a change in appearance, but a meaningful ritual of letting go. Psychologically, the act of change—like a haircut—can offer catharsis and a sense of renewal. This act fosters new beginnings and represents a commitment to personal growth. Many find that as they shed physical weight, they also release emotional burdens, making it easier to embrace life’s challenges with a renewed spirit. In essence, a haircut can be less about style and more about reclaiming one's sense of self.
