Most of my life, I was unaware as to how to love and take care of me. As family and friends know, I have quite the long hair. Thing is, at times, especially when life gets busy, I suck at taking care of it and with bad past habits, this can still be a problem today. And so today, my hair frustrated me. Truth be told, I began to feel depressed because I had to face that fact and I began to think, You suck at taking care of yourself still. My mind began to reflect on the past and the years of self-loathing and self-bullying that I put myself through. To avoid spiraling into negativity, I decided to look at the bright side, though: I am learning how to take care of myself and I *am* aware of the need to. No one else will do this for me. No one else has to, really. So there has been a tremendous shift. The very fact that it hurts me that I fail myself is not something to be depressed about, but something to be proud of because I have accomplished this change of mindset through some hard a** work for the past 2.5 years. So I said to myself: Appreciate that and move forward. And then I went ahead and cut and layered my own hair in the bathroom. It is no longer tangled and it looks fresh and voluminous. Heres to not getting stuck. And if I do (or you do), dust yourself off and try again... because we are sacred beings and we matter, and every mistake is part of that space in which we grow in awareness and love. #SelfLove #Twloha #ItsTheClimb
