A Few Thoughts post-haircut:
I remember, sitting in my aunt’s hair..chair, I remembered how I felt, getting my haircut. I didn’t want her to cut it off. I knew that I wanted something different, but I was afraid it would go wrong. And I eventually just sat there and nodded my head, and let her have her way. So she cut it, and I watched as all of it drifted off to the floor and gathered like dead grass. I knew I couldn’t go back. I then realized that change isn’t about trying your hardest to keep what you had while trying to grab hold of something new at the same time, it’s about letting go completely and finding yourself someplace new. Change can be something as simple as taking a new route to your sixth period class, but that requires you to abandon the old path and choose a new one. Sure, your old path won’t disappear completely, I mean you can always just go back to it. But the real question is, when you’ve completed your journey down the new path, when you think you’ve changed enough and you look back to what you used to be, or where you used to be, you ask yourself if you truly do want to go back. You’ll think about your new experiences, the people, the places, the feelings that you felt when you finally decided to change, and you’ll realize you wouldn’t have any of it if you had stuck to what you normally do. Of course, sticking to routine is never a bad thing, but to those who feel as if there is never another route to period six, there is. And there always will be.
You just have to turn that corner
and keep on going.
