WHAT IS REALLY BEHIND A HAIRCUT?
Have you ever wondered what truly lies behind a haircut? Does it signify emotional stability, or does it hint at its absence?
Throughout my life, one thing I've consistently done is experiment with different styles, embracing each one – even those that I didn't quite love at the moment but ended up getting used to them – and understanding that hair is merely an additional accessory to my appearance and mood. It is an extention of my personality and what i want to transmit to anyone else just by being present.
In my mind, many things operate as if I'm representing characters as I go through different phases of my life. I don't actually feel attached to a particular hairstyle or look; I think each one I try has given me memories of the instances of my life I was immersed in. Defining what was suddenly happening in my mind that I'm the only one who's actually aware of what was going on.
So we all can be on the same page, I'll describe you examples. Around a year ago, I decided I wanted to write a book - silly of me thinking I could come up with an idea interesting enough to do that. In addition to that, the idea of creating an illustrated book that could describe everyday sensations and routines without a single word, more geared towards children, actually came to my mind. Finally, as you can imagine, I never started the project, but it still simmers in a sacred place in my head.
That then evolved into a drawing book where I supposedly was going to draw everything I thought could be a story and then make it into a book, which I wanted to print and public.
As you could imagine, that idea didn't really materialize. However, the character was well played during the month as I cut my hair, bought a pair of "interesting" glasses, and decided to evolve my style into that aesthetic. I now proceed to show the look I am talking about .
For me, it's just that – feeling a certain way for a period, until I no longer resonate with that feeling and decide I want to "feel" different. Is this an issue of emotional inestability? I think I prefer not to dwell on it and instead continue to believe it's fueled by my passion for fashion and the intrigue and satisfaction I derive from exploring and discovering my feelings.
However, we can't deny the phenomenon of someone ending a relationship and opting for a change of look. Does this help us close chapters in our lives, or does it simply give us the illusion of closure?
Reflecting on my own experiences, I've often found that major life changes coincide with shifts in appearance. Whether it's the end of a era, a career milestone, or simply a desire for personal reinvention, altering my hairstyle has become a symbolic gesture of moving forward. It's as if by shedding old layers of hair, I'm also shedding outdated emotions and attachments, making room for new growth and opportunities.
For me, changing my hairstyle has been a therapeutic journey. It's about embracing change, stepping out of my comfort zone, and allowing myself to evolve. Each haircut marks a new beginning, a fresh perspective, and a symbol of growth.
So, the next time you find yourself contemplating a haircut, consider the deeper meaning behind it. It's not just about changing your appearance; it's about embracing transformation and embracing yourself. Embrace the opportunity for self-discovery and personal reinvention, and allow your haircut to be a reflection of your inner journey.
